A new start, or so she thought

01

Monday:

It was like any normal Monday for me. Wake up, get ready for school, get my younger brother ready, feed him, and leave the house in time to get us both to school. But today we're starting at new schools, well I am. My brother is starting kindergarten. I go to North Ridge high school, and my brother goes to Sunrise Academy.

I'm Nevaeh Collins, I'm 17 years old. I live with my adorable little brother Tyler who's 5 years old, and my pathetic excuse of a father. Most days he comes home drunk off his ass and can barely make it five steps in the house without falling over passing out. I hate having Tyler in this environment but I just have to wait till I'm 18 and graduate to get him out of here.

After Tyler was born everything was going great until mom got sick. She had gotten cancer, and when Tyler was one year old she passed away. My father started drinking nonstop and sometimes took his anger out on me and beat me. I'd rather it much be me than Tyler though.

I had to start getting jobs and paying bills because the sorry excuse of a father wouldn't. I had normal jobs that would pay bills but I needed extra money for food and normal necessities, so I had joined street fighting. I got pretty good to where I was the best there was and I was making at least $2,500 per fight. Along with that I've done many of other things that I'm not proud of but you'll find out about those things later on.

Alright enough of that stuff, let's get on with my looks. In my opinion I'm plain, I have wavy blonde hair that goes to just above my butt, greenish blue eyes with a touch of yellow, I'm about 5'3 1/2  with some curve to my body, but it's not like those super models. Tyler has dirty blonde hair with dark blue eyes, I'm jealous of him because he got my moms hair and eyes. I just have my mothers body type.

Alright, back to my morning. I grab my backpack and Tyler's lunch box and head out the door with him. I walk him to his school which is right down the street from our house and tell him I'll pick him up after school and not to leave until I get there but I tell his teacher too just to be sure.

Once I drop him off I continue my walk to my school which is only 2 blocks from Tyler's.

I arrive at school and my anxiety hits me. I haven't been the new kid since elementary school. But here I am senior year, the new kid, in a new state, starting a new life.

I calm down and slowly start making my way up to the office.

"Uhm excuse me..?" I said barely above a whisper

The young woman at the desk looked up at me and said "How may I help you young lady?"

"I'm new here and I needed to get my schedule for the school year."

"And what's your name sweety?"

"I'm Nevaeh Collins."

"Ahh here you are, and here's a map of the school as well, have a good first day Nevaeh."

"Thank you.. uh Miss..."

"Torres, but you can call me Carly."

"Alright thank you Carly, I'll see you later."

Once I left the office I looked at my schedule and saw I had all advanced classes and 2 electives.

Period 1: Advanced College Algebra
Period 2: Honors English
Period 3: Advanced Gym
Period 4: Advanced U.S. History
Lunch
Period 5: Advanced Chemistry
Period 6: Honors French

I find the room number for my first period and try to navigate my way there. Just my luck I bump into someone on the way and drop all my things along with theirs.

"Hey watch it!" A deep voice yelled at me.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bump into you I was just trying to find my first period.. I'm new here" I said in a rush not daring to even look at the guy I ran into.

He scoffs and tells me to look where I'm going next time.

I go around him and continue on my way to my first period. I make it there with 2 minutes to spare and find a seat in the back not wanting to be noticed.

As the late bell rang for class all the rest of the students filled in. The teacher with the name of Mr. Richard saw me in the back of the class and called me forward to the front of the class.

"Oh great, just my luck" I thought in my head.

"You must be new, I'm Mr. Richard I'm the Advanced College Algebra teacher. Would you mind telling the class your name and where you moved from?"

"Uhh I suppose.."

I turned around to face the class while Mr. Richard announced that they have a new student.

"Hi, I'm Nevaeh Collins and I moved here from Tennessee" I said with my little southern accent.

I went back to my seat when I heard the door open and slam closed. I looked up and saw this drop dead gorgeous boy. He was tall, probably 6'3 with dark brown curly hair and bright blue eyes.

"Mr. Zeke you are late once again."

"I'm sorry I'm sorry Mr. Richard" He said with a smirk

I noticed that voice from this morning he was the same boy I ran into.. oh great.

"Go sit next to Ms. Collins in the back ."

He looked towards me and smirked.

No no no why does this have to happen to me?!

"Hey sweet cheeks"

"Don't call me that. My name is Nevaeh"

"Feisty I like it, I'm Michael Zeke"

I rolled my eyes and started paying attention to Mr. Richards. After the bell rang I gathered my stuff and went to my second period.

It was the same with every class. Introduce myself and listen to the boring teachers while I had Michael in every one of my classes except Gym. I was tired of seeing him and him bugging me.

But finally the bell rang and I ran out of the classroom towards the exit to go see my little munchkin. I started walking for awhile and I was close to Tyler's school when I get a feeling that someone is watching me...
