I ran around my room, frantically thorwing clothes out of the closet and onto the floor.
"MOm!?" I yelled outloud. "God dammit." I muttered as i continued to rummage through my clothes.
My mom walked into the room and stared at me. The room was a complete mess, i knew that.
"Oh my." She said widening her eyes slighty. Her eyes scanned the clothes on the floor, then the open drawers. "What on earth are you looking for?"
"My bracelet." I said, my eyes tearing in frustration.
"The one..." I nodded, without her having to continue. the one my dad got for me.
She sighed and walked into the room, her heels clicking on the wooden floor. She bent down beside me, putting my clenched hand into hers.
"You'll find it honey." She said, squeezing reassuringly. She got up and sighed. "I need to finish getting ready.." She said, walking towards the door.
"Okay." I said quietly. She walked out, leaving me to rummage through the pockets of every pants i own.
I groaned and got off the floor. Picking up my phone, i checked the time.
shit.
i was going to be late.. but i just couldn't leave without finding my bracelet. I sighed, taking off my black tank top and slipping on a black, v-neck polo. I got into my blue jeans and black converse.
I went downstairs, catching a glimpse of my mom getting into Lissa's car from the window.
I grabbed my phone, bag and keys and left the house, locking the door behind me.

I parked my car and turned off the ignition. Resting my head on the steering wheel, i sighed. I needed to find my bracelet.
I got out and quickly made my way to my locker. The tardiness bell rang and i cursed. I power walked to chemistry class and knocked on the door, before walking in.
"Late." Mister Gatheff said, as he rubbed the board.
"I know.. i got lost again." He turned to look at me. Sighing he nodded.
I let out a sigh of relief and made my way to the back of the class. Shane, my partner, was still not here.
"Okay today i was you all to work on the projects in front of you." He said. I looked at the paper on our table. "Please take a seat next to your partner first, and remeber that this is your seat for the rest of the year."
After five minutes of me silently wishing Shane would come, he finally walked into class.
"Detention mister Evans." Said mister Gatheff, frowning at Shane.
Shane nodded, his hair falling onto his eyes.. his bruised eye?? He walked slowly and plopped down beside me.
"Shane?" I asked quietly. When he didn't respond i placed my hand on his arm. "What happened." He pulled his arm from my grasp.
"I'm fine." He said with an angry whisper.
"You're obviously not.." I say, tilting my head to take a look at his eye. The area around it was purple, a bruise. Taking a closer look, his bottom lip seemed to be swollen. "Shane.." I said softly.
"Let's get this project over with." He mumbled, grabbing the flask.
He boiled the hot water over the bunsen burner while i added some powder into a flask.
