"Here you go honey." My mother's blinding smile hurt my eye for a moment as she fixed my hair.

"You are going to have a great time! Make some new friends, be nice and oh I think i know your..."

She rambled on as I zoned her out and got out of car and slammed the door behind me. I was about to walk off too but she called out,"Hey Ann! Have fun baby." Her pleading eyes made me nauseous all over again.

It's been like that all summer. The pleading. The pity. They looked at with a constant look in their eyes saying 'please don't screw up again.'

Ironically, it makes me want to go back to rehab over again. I rolled my eyes as i bent down to look through the car window restinh my forearm against it. "I won't screw up. Okay?" I lifted my hands as I backed off and turned to walk away.

"Honey no! That's not what I..." was the last thing I heard before I was in a crowd of irritatingly loud high schoolers with a seemingly endless amount of excitement.

I looked around the all too familiar building. They had repainted the walls green, a mood better than the previous vomit coloured beige. The lockers were different too.

Yellow. The lockers were yellow. Great. Green walls and yellow lockers. I did not leave rehab for this.

"Why would anyone do green and yellow.." i mumbled as I navigated my way through the people to where my locker used to be.

It came into my view and sighed in accomplishment when someone bumped into me from behind.

"Watch where you're going moron." I snapped. Now i know i said that with the intention of the person hearing it but when she turned around, i regretted opening my mouth. Not out of fear, mind you.

Out of sheer annoyance that i held towards the person.

Realization dawned onto her as her cherry pop lips grew into a wide evil grin. "Well well well. Look who's here!"

She cocked her head to her left taking in my appearance.

"Look. I don't want any trouble. Get the hell away from me and i promise i won't tear your extra fake extensions off." I always knew i had a violent streak in me but Victoria brought it out of me real fast.

Amusement sparked in her eyes as she straightened up and thanks to her ridiculously high pitch, few people around us had already stopped to watch the freak and the moron fight.

"Now now. Let's not fight Annabelle. I just wanted to ask you how you've been. Psycho bin must've been bad."

"Yeah, it was. But not hardly as bad as being in the school for ten minutes and already having to talk to you. This is actually giving me a headache."

The amusement in her eyes went away. Earlier I was either too tired or too 'under the influence' to retort back to her. But now I'm done and detoxed and ready to punch her.

"Ooooo. Looks like psycho bin gave you a backbone. Look i have better shit to do. Just don't get in my way from the next time."

"You -"

"Is everything okay here?" Mrs. Cohen interrupted my string cuss words. Before I could say anything, Victoria already did.

"Mrs. Cohen, it's our first senior day and Annabelle is already bullying me." She made the puppy face. She fucking made the puppy face.
