Violets POV

It's Friday, last day of the week, last day that I have to keep up with this act.. until next week comes around. People see Leila and I as the most perfect people at school, it's nice to have people care about you for once, I just wished I didn't have to act like such a bitch.

I sit in front of my vanity, putting on layers and layers of makeup to cover up the obvious dark circles underneath my eyes and all of the other imperfections. We're like the schools barbie dolls, everything has to be perfect, not just looks but grades as well, and it's so hard to keep up with straight A's all the time now.

I swing my backpack over my shoulder and walk downstairs, I hardly eat anymore, I usually skip breakfast. I see my dad laying down on the couch, wasted, I hate him, ever since my mother past away, he hasn't been the same, he hasn't showed up to work and he doesn't even care that he has a daughter who as to work for him.

I walk past him not even bothering to say bye. I walk down the street and wait for Leila in front of her house as we usually walk together to school.

"Hey" I say bluntly as she opened the door. "Hi" she replied sadly.

We walked to school along a route where no one could see us, rich girls aren't meant to walk to school. The route we walked only had one or two cars passing by. There's always this white Range Rover driving past us, but who the hell has a Range Rover from school?

"How did you sleep last night?"

"I didn't," She replied.

I walk into English 5 minutes late, the teacher, Miss Bell didn't really care, she always just rambles on and deals with everyone except for Leila and I, she use to but soon got tired of us. Leila and I make our way to the back and take our seats. I pull out my phone from my pocket and start casually scrolling through twitter

"Ms Waters, please get off," she turns around and the whole class looks

"Oh, me?" I ask innocently "why pick on me when 10 other kids in this class are on their phones?"

"I am not dealing with you again, move."

"Aww but miss!" I whine

"Grayson, swap with Violet please,"

Grayson grabbed his books and moved to my spot without questioning Ms Bell.

"Urgh, fuck it." I say under my breath as I walk over to my new desk. I slam my books onto the table causing the boy next to me to flinch.

"So, do I get the pleasure of sitting next to the famous, Violet Waters for the rest of the year?" He smirks

"Oh shut up," I roll my eyes, sassing him "well someone's mad," he mumbles

"Don't fucking talk to me," I hop back on my phone

I can't believe I have to sit next to whatever-the-fuck his name is for the rest of the year, and I feel bad that Leila has to sit next to that Gracie kid, I know they're twins, but they're not important enough for me to have remembered their names.

"I will be giving back your grades for the English papers that you turned in yesterday" Ms Bell announces. "Keep in mind that the assignment was worth 40% of your grades,"

Fuck, fuck, fuck! I'm very nervous, I'm gonna fucking fail, I only did this the night before it was due, and if I get anything less than an A, my whole average is gonna be thrown off.
