Today a Slave, Tomorrow a Rose

Chapter Two

I walked into class just as the bell rang. I guess my confrontation with blondie took up more time then I thought.

I walked up to my teacher and introduced myself. She gave me a warm smile and directed me to a seat at the back. She was a young woman, with shoulder length black hair. She had on a very sophisticated black and white dress with small black heels and she wore black rimmed glasses that framed her petite face.

"Alright class this is our new student, Sky Casey, I expect you to treat her with the utmost respect." She stated while gesturing to me and then got back to her work.

I settled into the desk I was assigned and started going through my things, getting organized.

There was motion at the door and everyone looked up. Including me. Blondie was at the door hanging the teacher a late slip. Oh great he's in this class too. He looked at me and clenched his jaw. He made his way to his desk which just happened to be the one beside mine.

"Watch you're back bitch." He said under his breath. Great. I rolled my eyes looking unamused and got back to paying attention to the teacher.

The rest of the class went rather well. The teacher, Mrs. Kelly, was nice and all in all very good at teaching from what I could tell. Blondie, who I found out is named Blake, didn't annoy me too much. After that I had math then lunch, history, then science. By the time the day was over I was overwhelmed with homework. Being that it was half way through second semester I had a lot to catch up on.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the school day I quickly gathered my things and went out into the spring air. I didn't have to go on a bus because my new address was only a 10 minute walk from the school.

I decided to stay in town for a few minutes. The new town we just moved to was called Wellington, a pretty stupid name if you asked me but what can you do. We moved into a large house on Water st that frankly looked like a mansion. My family was quite rich and tended to over spend on things.

I walked down main st and headed to the docks. the town was right beside a large lake and fishing and boating took a huge part in the town's daily activities. Since I moved I had already managed to locate a hidden trail that was over grown that felt more like home than the new house my family bought.

Once I got there I settled down on a fallen log and got to work on my homework.

Crack.

Someone was behind me. I spun around and came face to face with Blondie.

"Hey bitch." He said with a smirk talking another step towards me. There was something behind in his hands that were placed behind his back.

"What do you want?" I took a step back.

"Oh nothing." He took another two steps forward backing me up into a tree. The thing behind his back came to my face and I choked. It smelled of chemicals. I held my breath and tried to fight back. He held me tightly to the tree and soon my vision blurred and everything went black.
