“Well look who we have here, the three musketeers. Don’t you guys know better than to leave?” Mr. Mark asked while rolling his eyes. God I hated him so much.
All of us just shrugged our shoulders while he wrote some stuff down on his clipboard. I’m guessing our names and my license plate.
“Off to class you three. You’re late enough as it is.”
We began to walk away when Mr. Mark started talking again, “Oh and Kalliegh, I’m sure Mrs. Bobo isn’t going to be very happy with this news.”
I continued walking ignoring his last comment while flipping him off in the process. I could hear him yelling but I didn’t care. How could this day get any worse?
Seventh period came and I was a TA again, but this time for Guidance, specifically Ms. Czaja. We had become very close over these past two years. I remember when she first found out about my cutting. She was very supportive and encouraging of me to stop, which I did, but not for very long. I tried to keep it a secret as best as I could until one-day sophomore year I walked into her office to be greeted by her and Mrs. G, another guidance counselor.
~Flashback
Mrs. G stepped behind me and shut the door. Her face was ridged and held no emotions. I could tell I was walking on thin ice and I didn’t even know what I did. I gulped hard and looked back at Ms. Czaja. Her face was kind with a look of concern. The only other time I remember seeing that face was when she first found out about my cutting.
“Um, what’s going on here?” I ask curiously trying to get an answer out of Ms. Czaja’s face but it wasn’t working.
“Kalliegh lift up your sleeves please.”
“No. I can’t do that.” I said trying to hold back tears and getting angrier by the second. My mind was racing so fast I couldn’t think of anything to say or do to make this moment stop.
“Kalliegh we are only trying to help you.” Before I could do anything Mrs. G grabbed me and held my arms so I couldn’t move. Ms. Czaja on the other hand grabbed my sweatshirt and lifted it up the sleeves reveling all of my self-harm cuts and scars.
They both gasped and I could see tears forming in Ms. Czaja’s eyes. Mrs. G loosened her grip on me and they both stood there just engulfing me in the biggest hug for what seemed like hours but it couldn’t have been more then a few minutes. I couldn’t help myself so I just cried along with them while repeating, “I’m so sorry.”
~End Flashback
And that’s how I ended up in juvie, well not really. The weekend before I had gotten drunk because Nicole had broken up with me. I decided to go steal someone’s car, go for a joyride and unfortunately I got into a car crash. I left the scene of a crime so it took the police a little bit to find me but they did.
I was in school, Ms. Malone’s class and got called down to the office by Mrs. Bobo. I didn’t think anything of it until I saw two policemen standing in her office along with Mrs. G and Ms. Czaja. Anyway, long story short, I was arrested, booked and sentenced to six months in a juvenile correction center. Ms. Czaja tried to get me into a rehab center but the judge wouldn’t hear it. He did though put me in the psych ward in juvie where it was complete and utter hell. Of course old habits die-hard so I still cut and did drugs while I was locked up. I was caught a few times and taken to solitary, which sucked but whatever. You have to do what you have to do.
While I was taking passes to classrooms Mrs. Bobo snuck up behind me and yelled my name sending shivers down my spine. I turned around quickly meeting her face to face.
“Kalliegh. You seem to be keeping me on my toes lately. You know Mr. Mark talked to me.”
“Yeah, I know. So what is it? ISS tomorrow?” I asked while looking down at the ground.
“Yep. Now go get Dom and Carly and bring them to my office. You guys need to fill out some paperwork.” She said while walking off.
Alex was with me and just laughed. “Wow, Kalliegh you know coach is going to kill you.” I just shrugged and brushed her comment off. I knew coach would but I would deal with that when the time came.
Like Mrs. Bobo asked, I went and got both Dom and Carly. She was already in her office with the paperwork ready for us to sign. It was nothing I hadn’t seen before just some stupid shit.
A/N: Please comment and let me know what you think about the story. Demi will be coming up in the next few chapters. I just wanted to make this fanfic detailed and lead up to when Kalliegh and Demi meet. Please don't get impatient. Demi is coming don't worry, and it will be GOOD! I have about 10 chapters completed already I am just trying to space them out. Thanks for reading!
