Damage*ON HOLD*

Chapter one

I sat on the incredibly uncomfortable wooden chair inside the school office fiddling with my thumbs as I listened carefully to my dad speaking to the principal hearing the words "accepted" and my dad saying plenty of thank you's as he walked back to me I looked up at him with a smile "you've been accepted, Lola!" He cheered scooping me into his arms as he squeezed me while I looked around at the many people staring at us snickering "dad please" I say pushing him away from me "sorry honey it's just I'm so happy and surprised that they'd accept you so late in the year" he explained himself and I nodded patting his shoulders "I understand it's just embarrassing" I say escorting us both out the office as we walked down the short hallway to meet a guide to show me around she was a small petite old woman maybe 50-60 years old she was the most adorable thing I've ever seen as she smiled to me "I'll show you you're classes darling, I'm Bethany by the way" she said introducing herself as we began walking behind her "I'm Lola this is my dad Richard" I say introducing my dad as well as we go into my first class luckily it was the weekend and no one was here except the teachers preparing for Monday "this is your first class, algebra, Matthew Simmons class or just Mr. Simmons" she said as we followed alongside her "is he nice?" I ask her jokingly but also genuinely wanting to know "of course all the teachers are nice" she said cheerfully as I roll my eyes, that's a lie, we continue to follow her throughout all my classes including my extra ones which conflicted of drama, art, music, and sport which I forcefully had to take since that was the last and only class left "it's been nice meeting you Lola and Richard, I'll see you on Monday Lola" she said sweetly to me as she shook our hands and happily walked off back to do whatever her job consisted of as we walked off campus back to my car as I got in my dad got in as well watching me as I buckled in and started the car he always did that it was basically a rule for him to buckle in first then start the car "are you excited to be a senior dear?" He asked me ecstatic as he buckled in as well "not as excited as you are for me to be a senior dad" I say with a giggle backing out of my parking spot to the main road "you're nervous darling, aren't you?" He asks me yet another question placing a hand on my arm "not necessarily dad, it's just a school" I say watching the road carefully as I hear him sigh "a new school darling, with new people and a new atmosphere it's alright to be nervous and maybe a little scared" he said trying to reassure me but I just rolled my eyes turning down our street "dad it's fine really I'll be fine" I tell him and he just sighs yet again "I know how you are around new and a lot of people darling I just want to make sure you're gonna be alright" he tells me hinting at my terrible social skills making me laugh looking to him "I'm gonna be okay dad don't worry so much" I tell him as I park the car inside the garage turning it off and stepping out watching my dad start to work on it like he always had to do considering it was a junkyard car "I'll be inside if you need me" I tell him and I watch as he waves at me "get ready for tomorrow darling it's gonna be a big day" he says with a smile and I roll my eyes leaving him to tend to my crappy vehicle as I walk inside our home. I shift through some boxes inside my room that I still haven't emptied from the move as I pick through some items placing pictures and my collectibles on my shelves and desk while I hung my posters and tapestries on my walls happy with the result I stand back looking at it I hear my dad knocking on my door as I look to it seeing it open "I'm gonna be going to the store to grab a new plug for your car, you gonna be okay?" He explains to me asking the dumbest question possible considering I'm an 18 year old adult "dad I'm 18 years old I'm gonna be fine just like always" I tell him a smile a on my face so he knows I'm not being bitchy and he smiles "okay, by the way love your room! Be back soon darling" he says and leaves my room and I laugh softly hearing the front door shut and I walk out my room into the kitchen to grab myself something to eat as I hear people screaming and laughing I rush to the living room window opening the curtains to see two guys talking, joking around and laughing to themselves as they walk by the house one had blonde spiked hair and a lip ring in the middle of his lip talking as he walked backwards in front of the guy who had spiked red hair both wearing clothes obviously too big for them, they both looked relatively the same age as me maybe a bit older at least the one with red spiked hair as watched them walk past my house, I went back to making myself something to eat. As I finished my cooking I heard my dad walk in as he greeted me with a simple hello before leaving for the garage again I rolled my eyes walking outside to see my dad working on the car "dinner is ready thought you might want to come in and eat" I say leaning against my car as he smiles at me "of course you cook just like your mother" he says to me making me shake my head as I laugh hearing the same bundle of laughing and shouting as before making me look to see the same guys walking back a cigarette in the guy who had blonde spiked hair's hand he looked over at us as I realized my dad was waving at them like the embarrassing father he was "hello neighbors" he said to them the blonde one just smiled and waved back while the other was dying of laughter as they past our house again "nice to know we have nice neighbors" he says as we walk back into the house and we begin to eat dinner.
I say looking through my clothes in my closet trying to figure what I'm seven layers of hell I'm going to wear tomorrow, I know I didn't want to dress fancy or my insight of what fancy is; skirt, crop top, jean jacket maybe, and some canvases. But I also didn't wanna dress how in usually dress; jeans, band shirt, and boots, I didn't want to seem like I was trying too hard and I didn't wanna seem that I wasn't trying at all I sighed giving up completely as I on my bed which was covered in clothes now at this point "goodnight Lola!" I hear my dad yell from outside my door and I sigh "goodnight!" I say back then hear a door close and I groan crawling into bed properly in attempt to try and go to sleep but I just ended up turning on my tv and watched about 60 episodes of Tom and Jerry until I fell asleep at 2 in the morning. Tomorrow is gonna suck.
