The Life of Lilac Hill

Chapter One: The First Day

"Bye, Mom!" I say closing the car door. She waves at me through the window as I walk towards the front doors of the school building. My first day as a sophomore, and I'm dressed in ripped jeans and a Doctor Who hoodie. Wonderful first impression right? My light brown hair is tied into a perfect messy bun, and my bangs hang just above my eyes. I stop walking when I reach the door and close my eyes. 'If you open that door, there's no going back.' A voice whispers inside my head, I exhale and pull on the door.

The stress and anxiety hit me immedently. Ugh, why couldn't I have just stayed home on tumblr....I turn the corner and bump into my boyfriend.

"Hey Lilac, nice outfit." Chris smiles at me.

I smirk "Look who's talking!"

"Aw c'mon Lil! This years gonna be great! Don't be so....boring"

Me? Boring? Uh no. "Hey I'm not the one who spent his ENTIRE summer playing Call Of Duty okay?"

"And I'm not the one who spent the entire summer fangirling over Sherlock Holmes and The Winchesters." The first bell of the year rings. "See ya later, love" Chris kisses my cheek and he's gone, lost in the crowed hallway full of people. Ew, people, I didn't sign up for this....

I look down at my schedule and head to Algebra 2. Yay math before 10 a.m -note my sarcasm-

I step into the slow moving crowd and mentally yell at everyone in front of me to move faster. Just as the late bell rings I step into the math classroom. Low and behold, all of my friends sit at the back. They wave and grin cheerfully at me, except Adrianne, who has on the exact expression I do. I sit down beside her and the teacher begins a speech.

"Hello class! I am Mrs. Tine, and I will be your Algebra 2 teacher for the rest of the year."

"She's like....72..." Adrianne whispers, we try to not giggle.

"So, as our first exercise, let's go around the room and learn each other's name! Let's start with you in the black hoodie and the back." She points straight at me. "Please stand up, state your full name, and your favorite hobbie."

I sigh and stand up. "My name is Lilac Hill, but everyone calls me Lil. And I don't have a favorite hobbie."

"Of course you do! Everyone does! Now what is it?" Mrs. Tine says.

I stare at her. "Um...being antisocial? Hating people? That's pretty much all I'm good at."

She glares at me and goes on to the next person.

"Nice way to start off the school year Lil." Britni says from behind me.

"I know right! She already doesn't like me." I turn and smile at her.

At lunch we have...well I don't really know what it is but I'm 95% sure it isn't edible.....I sit at a table with Chris and his jock friends, who are jerks, and shove my tray in the middle.

"Happy birthday you guys." They cheer and split the contents evenly.

"Idiots..." I mumble under my breath. Oh great....here comes Sarah yayyyy -.-

She flips her blonde hair over one shoulder and sits her Hollister clothed self next to Tyler, Then throws a look at me.

"What are you doing over here?" She snarls

"I was invited. By my boyfriend. Who happens to be sitting right next to me."

She looks at Chris then back to me. "He deserves someone better." She laughs and the others do the same. Chris stand up. "Hey!" He yells. " I will kick each and every one of you off the team if you don't shut up and sit down!!!" The jocks sit down and become quiet. Sarah rolls her eyes, flips her hair, and walks off. Oh the advantages of a not popular girl dating the captain of the football team!

"Hey, how was your first day?" My mom asks as I climb into her truck.

"Stupid."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Don't make me go back. I'm begging you." I toss my string bag into the back seat along with my binder.

"If only I could, dear."

I turn towards her and smile. If I would have looked out the window right behind her, I would have seen the hummer racing towards us. After that everything was black.
