six.

I look around, smiling widely as I notice how the lights glisten on the crystal blue ocean. Ever since I was little, mom would take me here for a swim. I kind of miss those days. Back when she wasn't so busy with her career, back when she actually had time for me.

My phone buzzes in my pocket, indicating I had a message. I look down and see I have one from mom. I tap on 'Mom' and read her message.

"Caleb get home soon. School starts tomorrow!" I start typing. "Okay be there soon, love you!" I turn off my phone and sigh. I look back at the wonderful ocean then get up from the sand and start walking home.

I wake up to the sounds of the birds chirping and the sun's rays slowly seeping into my eyes. . . Not. Instead of the peaceful and calm sound of birds chirping, my alarm clock loudly blaring this annoying beeping sound, making me groan in frustration as I turn it off. I see my mom leaning on the door frame, waiting expectingly at me.

Great it's time for school.

I groan as I sit up, rubbing my eyes. I remember the amusement park is open today. I always loved the amusement park, the best memories were made there. A sudden burst of energy hits me and I shoot up and out of my bed, rummaging through my drawers to find something to put on. I jump around excitedly like a little boy. I pick some clothes up, feeling satisfied, and run to the bathroom.

After a refreshing shower, I head to the kitchen. I grab a banana, devouring it quickly. I kiss my mother's cheek and run out to the bus stop. I see some of my friends and walk over to them. Well, I say 'friends' but i don't really talk to them, I just hang around them. I look around and see Hannah, talking to some of her friends. A smile spreads across my face as I walk towards her, my pace slightly faster. I get closer to her and she turns around making me stop abruptly almost bumping into her. We both laugh as I regain my balance.

"Hey, Caleb!" She says giggling. "How nice of you to, almost, bump into me." She winks, making both of us laugh again.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I'm just so excited today! The amusement park is open. We should really go there some time!" I exclaim, Hannah laughs at my excited face. The bus pulls up to the stop and we both get on. We have this spot at the end of the bus so I go ahead and get there first, Hannah following right behind me.

"Hey, the two lovebirds are here. Awwww. ." I scoff and put one of my headphones in. I take the seat near the window, the worn out leather seat making me a bit uncomfortable. Hannah takes a seat next to me, making me smile. As soon as the bus arrives, I stand up and grab my bag. I let Hannah take the lead, stepping off the bus right after her. We walk into our first class and sit, again, by each other. We continue to chat since our teacher isn't here yet. Our conversation soon dies out as Josh steps inside, making me groan.

"Awe well isn't it the little mamma's boy with his girlfriend?" He laughs. I cringe and shoot him a death glare. I look back at Hannah with a sympathetic look on her face. She smiles a small smile, telling me it's okay.

"You know, I've had it with Josh." I tell Hannah through gritted teeth, my hands balled into tight fists as I stand from my seat.

"Don't do anything stupid, Caleb. It's the first day." Hannah warns me, trying to keep her calm.

"Fine, what ever. But I swear, if he'd do any more of. . . this, I couldn't promise anything." I sit back down, silently counting to ten as I try and regain my composure. Moments later, our teacher enters.

"Good morning, everyone." A tall male with chestnut colored hair enters, his voice strong and loud, silencing everyone in the room.

"My name is Mr. Charlie Dibs." He scribbles his name on the board. "And you're going to be stuck with me for the rest of the year for your first period. Welcome to highschool, motherfuckers." Everyone laughs, including Hannah and I.

"Aren't teachers prohibited to swear, though?" Someone in the room asks, making Mr. Dibs laugh as if it was the funniest joke he ever heard.

"We are." He answers, cutting his answer short. "Anyways, I wanna know each and everyone of you so feel free to go up front and introduce yourselves to everyone. I'm not gonna pick you out one by one, this isn't middleschool or elementary so get your asses off your chairs and stand infront." Mr. Dibs sits on his chair, sighing as he places his feet on the table. People start standing up, walking towards the front and announce their names.

The time comes when I have to introduce myself. I got to the front of the class and stand there awkwardly. I'm about to say my name when Mr. Dibs interrupts me.

"Ah Caleb Hudson, its a pleasure to meet you! My daughter loves your mom." I smile a fake smile and nod.

"I'll tell my mom that."

The rest of the class goes by with Mr. Dibs making everyone laugh while he attempts to teach. The bell rings and everyone gets out of their chairs. Headed towards the cafeteria for lunch.

Hannah and I are at a table, minding our own business just talking. Josh walks over to the table with his food. Great. He stops right above me, his tray above my head, and dumps the everything that's on his tray on to me. Hannah gasps in surprise and I stand up.

"That's it!" I look him in the eye and shove him backwards. He looks a bit shocked but comes back and does the same to me. He raises up his fist and brings it to my jaw. I feel pain surge through me as his fist hits my face. I shove him back again and punch him in the chest, then the face. He falls back holding his jaw with his hand. A teacher comes up and stands behind me, pulling me away from Josh. We head to the principle's office, I sit outside the office as Josh goes in. If mom finds out about this, I swear. Josh comes out and I have to go in.

{AN: i may or may not have been to the office to know what its like after a fight... >:D}

"Let's see, ah Caleb Hudson right here," The principal, Mr. Blythe, says finding my name. I sit there awkwardly, hoping to God that mom won't know about this. "Seems like you aren't the trouble maker here. Good grades and all, that's great except for today. I will let you off with a warning just don't get into trouble anymore." The principle looks over to me and I smile appreciatively, nodding. I stand up and thank him.

The rest of day goes as usual, boring, boring, and more boring. The final bell rings and everyone rushed outside to meet their parents. I start walking home until a car pulls up and the front passenger window opens revealing Matt.

"Hey there little bro." He calls out. I smile and head towards his car.

"So how was school?" He unlocks the car door, telling me to hop in. Should I tell him? Eh why not?

"Well, I beat up this guy. But he deserved it." I say with a proud smile.

Matt laughs. "Well done, kiddo." he ruffles my hair "Well, I've heard the amusement park is open so want to go there? You know, as a celebration for your victory?" I feel excitement rush through my body like I did this morning. I nod excitedly. Matt hits the gas and we head over to the amusement park.

We both get on a roller coaster and just laugh at the people that are screaming since we are too. We get cotton candy and all the sweets. Only stopped for a few fans of my mom and Matt. It was really fun and I forgot all of the problems.

"Hey, Matt? What time is it?" I ask him. I couldn't check the time myself since my phone died.

"Half passed 6." He replies, shrugging. Shit! 6:30?!? Well crap, mom'll kill me when I get home.

"You okay, kiddo?"

"I think I have to go. My mom's probably freaking out right now." I say worried.

"Alright. Lets go, I'll drive you home." I smile and nod.
Matt and I walk to his car and he unlocks it, I get in the passenger's side and he drives. I'm nervously looking around, desperately wishing for some kind of relief. We approach my house and pull up the driveway. Matt offers to walk me in but I'm fine. He ends up coming anyway. Matt knocks on the door and it swings open to see my, worried looking mother.
Great.
