It all started in May

Chapter 1

  "Hailey! Time to wake up!" My mothers loud voice awakens me.

"Im awake!" I yell back as i get out of bed and turn on the curling iron.

I check the calender on my phone, Friday May 20th already. Today is the day Patrick leaves to go on his school trip to New York. Patrick and I have been dating on and off since January. I dont know about us, Im really moody and that effects our relationship a lot. Hes nothing like me though, Im a bitch to him, i dont even see why he still wants anything to do with me, he just says all the right things.. but to the wrong girl. As im finishing the last few pieces of my hair my mom yells out again.

"Your going to miss the bus Hailey, ten minutes!"

" Just finishing up Mom!" I yell back, louder then i should have.

   When i look in my mirror, i am pleased with what i have done. My dark auburn hair is perfectly curled just past my shoulders and my bangs are braided in a front headband style. I decide to go with light makeup today instead of the usual dark smokey eye. I apply some classic ivory foundation and blush and put a few coats of mascara on, done. I pull on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a black cardigan with a blue tank underneath.When i check my phone, it reads 7:37 am. i have three minutes to run across the street to the school bus stop. I slip on my brown uggs and im on my way.

   The bus ride to school is longer then expected but thats okay. I sit with my friend Allison in the back seat, I'm no good at keeping conversation so i plug my headphones in after we tell each other good morning. I put on Never say never by the fray and turn it up all the way. Today is going to be a good day.

When the bus arrives to school, everyone besides me and Emma, a grade ten who im good friends with, head to the back of the school for a smoke. Im a year older then Emma, She has dirty blonde hair and big brown eyes. She's hilarious and she always has me dying of laughter. As I light up my smoke, she speaks.

"Your hair looks really nice" she compliments.

"Thank you, you look a little down today..  is everything okay?" I ask.

  She sighs before answering.

"Yeah, me and paul have just been fighting a lot"

Paul is her 18-year old boyfriend. As much as i hate to admit it, they make a good couple. I think they have only been dating a month or so.

"Every relationship comes with fights Em, if you guys really belong together you will get through it."

I take a long drag of my cigaerette when i finish what i say.

"Yeah, i guess your right.. i just dont know though, hes a lot different from Matthew."

She says, referring to her ex, who i personally think were the cutest couple.

"You really miss him?"

"Well yeah, its only been two months but im learning to move on. Besides, he likes this other girl now."

"Come on lets get inside before we get in shit. It will get better, I promise." I say before throwing the remainder of my smoke on the ground.
