School Is A Hell In Disguise

I stand on the corner of my block as I wait for the bus to bring me to the hell we call school. I see the one person who makes me feel slightly normal to say the least. Alexandra Stone. My one and only bestfriend since elementary school.
I smile and wave to her . " Hi Alex!". She looks up from her phone and flashes one of her brilliant charming smiles and runs up to hug me. "Katara! Oh man cutie I missed you so much! Where did you disappear for a week?!" She bombarded me with questions as the bus pulls up to the curb. I grab her hand and drag her to our seat in the back while she continues with her ranting. I sit down and she looks at me expectantly.
"Why are you looking at me like that Alex? . She looks irritated at me like I said the wrong thing.
" Kat. You haven't listened to a word I said.. I asked where did you disappear for a week? . I look at her sadly and sigh.. " Do you really want me to answer that Alex..? Mom has been in a mood and I guess I had an attitude to my brother so she punished me. There happy.." I look away from her and out the window as I feel that same pathetic feeling creep into my chest.
"Katara I'm sorry I shouldn't have pushed you to answer. I'm sorry she gets that way I wish she would have changed after all this time. It's not your fault Kat.." I nod my head as she pulls me into a hug. We let go of each other as the bus pulls up to Jacksonville High School. Ugh.. I leave one hell to go to another. As we step off the bus Alex pulls me into another hug and kisses my forehead. " You gonna be okay Kat? " . I smile and look at her
" Yes Alex I can take care of myself thank you love I'll see you after School, bye!" We say our goodbyes and go our separate ways. Even though we are best friends we both acknowledge that we dont fit in together especially at school so we act as if neither exist. It's better that way because then I'm left alone for the most part. I reach my locker  and put my combination in. As I reach to put my backpack in I'm suddenly slammed into the side of the locker hitting my head on the door. Fuck. I turn to bitch out the person who slammed into me but as I turn around holding my now bleeding head and look up I see the most captivating eyes looking at me worried. I realize I'm staring when a hand waves in front of my face. " Are you okay?! An angelic voice says to me as I just nod my head yes. I feel something run down my face as I take my fingers and feel what it is I see that it's blood. Oh shit! " Oh my god! Your bleeding! I'm so sorry we gotta get you to the nurse fast ." As she grabs my hand and starts pulling me in the direction of the nurse's office darkness begins to cloud my vision and suddenly everything is spinning. The last thing I hear before the darkness takes me over is her voice calling my name , begging for me to wake up. I sigh as I'm consumed in darkness. Welcoming it with open arms.
