She's standing silently in the middle of the school corridor and can't bear the hustle and bustle of kids around her . Voices in her head keep whispering ," They're judging you . You don't belong here . You don't fit in !" She can't take in anymore , with her palms covering her ears she collapses do the ground and screams.
I let out a loud gasp and jolt up from bed , sweat glistening my forehead.
"It's only a bad dream." I tell myself letting out a sigh. Using all my strength I get out of bed and head to refresh myself and take a shower. I leave the bathroom wrapped in a towel and walk towards the cupboard to pick my clothes which is the usual sweatshirt and jeans . I look into the mirror while combing my waist length hair and put it into a messy bun and, applying a bit of makeup.
"Breakfast is ready! Come down Leigh." My mother yells. "I'm coming!" I say .
Picking up my school bag I run down the stairs towards the kitchen. I sit down along with my parents in the dining table . The atmosphere thick due to the huge argument my parents had last night , as usual we mask it off. "Mm baked berry French toast ,my favourite !" My mom smiles, it looks forced . She's beautiful with emerald green eyes ,a slender eyebrow with velvet eyelashes ,her brown hair cascades down her shoulder and her body is sculpted beautifully and is 5'1 . She has a soothing sweet voice which flows from her lilac soft lips. My dad has crescent moon shaped eyebrows that are thin with almond shaped ocean blue eyes , he has defined cheekbones and a concrete jaw . His blond hair was trimmed, has a well built body and is tall by 5'8.
After I'm done with breakfast I hug both my parents and rush out the door . "Drive safe !" My dad calls out . I look back and nod getting into the car. I live in Amsderdam on Wijdesteeg street , it's really beautiful having houses and shops on either side of the road . I speed of in my car blasting of my favorite music and singing to my hearts content.
I reach the school premises by 7:35 am and walk along the hallway to my class with my hands tightly clutched to my books and kept my head down to avoid any attention and sat at the back row . Anxiety slowly creeping on me as I realize I have a speech today.
Here ya go ! 1st chapter done :)
