My eyes were shot open after hearing the most horrible sound in the world at the other end of my room "ugh why did I put my alarm over there?" I groaned out and put my pillow over my head to sound out the ringing, but it was no use. I screamed into the pillow that I had over my face and got up angrily. I threw my purple covers off me and dragged my feet across the floor to turn off the stupid alarm. "I hate school" I growled out and grabbed my towel that was hanging on my computer chair. 

I opened my bathroom door which revealed a tiny bathroom, a small sink, toilet, and shower, it was so small that we couldn't even put in a rug on the floor, I placed the towel on the toilet and stripped. I turned the handle to turn my shower on and looked at my body as I waited for the water to get warm. I lifted my arm up to reveal dark lines in my inner arm, I sighed and touched them softly, to feel small bumps on them. I used to harm myself. After my parents accident, I couldn't find any other way to cope with my depression until I found this method. I stopped because I figured out how I was still stuck in the past. When I looked up I saw that my mirrors were already fogged up, I pushed the shower curtain out the way and jumped into the shower. 

After my shower, I put on a black long sleeve shirt, jeans, with some Nike shoes. I don't really care about fashion, never have or will. I got out my bathroom and went towards my bookbag that was in the corner of my room. After I picked up my heavy bookbag I headed downstairs.

I walked straight into the kitchen only thinking about food. On top of the kitchen table I saw a loaf of bread,  I grabbed it and went opened the fridge. I looked inside and saw some ingredients that were expired, all except the ingredients to make a sandwich. I grabbed the half empty  mayonnaise container, cheese, and ham. When I pulled my head out and turned around I saw my brother in some shorts staring at me hungover. My brother was around 6'3, he had dark curly hair as well on top of his head, he had light green eyes just like my mother, had some scruff on his face, and was built. Any girl could fall for him but he was never into them. "Where are you going?" He asked angrily. "To school, it's the first day" I said and pulled out two slices of bread from the bag it was in and put them into the toaster. I heard him grumble something under his breath and I turned around "What did you say?" I said and he looked at me "Nothing, make me a sandwich to" He said as he walked over to me, he pushed me out the way and went into the fridge and pulled out a bottle of rum.

 While he struggled to open the bottle and I started to make him a sandwich. As making it I started to wonder why was my brother like this now. When he came back, he was affected by mom's and dad's death but he would still try his best to stay happy. Before the accident he was in Harvard studying law, he was passing all his classes with flying colors. But when he came home beat up and drunk, he just did a 180. When he came back to raise me, he told me that once he sees I can handle myself he'll go back to school. But I highly doubt that now.

 I looked back at him and saw he finally opened the bottle, I saw a little grin in his face. However, it faded quickly and he walked towards me,  and grabbed the sandwich from my hands. He took a huge bite from it and washed it down with the rum "have a good day at school" He said and went into his room, slammed the door close, and locked it. 

"Axel" I whispered, this was the first time he said something nice to me since he started to drink. I was about to knock on his door but I felt my phone vibrate, I pulled it out from my pocket and saw it was already 7. I gasped and grabbed my bag and grabbed my sandwich and rushed out the door. 

Little did I know that when I was walking out to my bus stop, Axel was staring at me through the window hoping I'll get through the day. 

I usually walked to school before and this year was no different, my school is around 2 miles away from my house. I didn't know how to drive because 1, Axel didnt want to teach me, and 2 was because I had no job because Axel didnt want me to get one, so I couldn't afford it. But it wasnt such a bad walk. In fact I liked it. I lose so much weight because of this long walk and usually it went by fast because of me listening to music or lost in my thoughts, just like right now.

As I looked at my school, I sighed sadly. I hate this school so much, it's so boring and I don't like anyone there. All except Megan and Dakota, but I usually dont see them till later on, but it is a new school year so hopefully is was much earlier.

Before I knew it I was in front of my dumb busted locker that I've had for 4 years now. I sighed again and started to put in my locker combination.

After I opened my locker and put my useless books into it I headed to my first class, which was.....Physics? I checked my schedule to make sure I was right, which I was.

When I got to my class I saw that no one in there, not even the teacher. I shrugged it off and looked around where I could sit. I noticed that all the tables were for pairs. So that meant that I had to force myself to make a new acquaintance, unless Megan or Dakota was in this class with me.

I headed to the furthest table away from the front, and plopped myself down, I sat there taking in my surroundings and got bored quickly. I whipped out my phone and opened up instagram. Since I didnt follow anybody besides my two best friends. My timeline was blank, I hit the explore page button and started to scroll through the new dumb shit people were doing with their lives.

As I was scrolling I heard the classroom start to get full. I could care less, as long as no one sits next to me I'll be fine.

About 10 minutes later I heard the late bell ring, I liked one more meme and I put my phone away. I looked at the empty seat next to me and smirked a little bit. No one sat next to me, after that I looked at the class and saw that all the other tables were full, so that meant.....I COULD BE ALONE IN PEACE.

I smiled happily to myself, if anyone looked back and saw me at this monent they would think I'm probably on something. Who wouldn't after seeing a girl in the back of the class smiling her ass off. But that little piece of heaven soon went away when I heard a voice project across the room. I quickly paid attention and noticed it was the teacher.

From what I could see he looked like he was in his early 40's, he had a white button up long sleeve shirt and blue dress pants. He also was tall and built, he had a nicely trimmed beard and piercing grey eyes, his hair long but tied neatly in a bun behind him. I heard the girls in my class started to mumble "oh my god he's fucking hot" but the only thing I thought of was, why the hell is he dressed so nicely in a high school? I would have come in a hoodie and sweats, but hey that's his life not mine.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard my name being called for attendance. I rose my hand and said "here" miserably. This was going to be a long class.

15 minutes in of Mr.....what ever his name was, I think it was Henry? the door flew open, I didnt see it but I heard the cheap wooden door hit the wall. I was mostly focused on the doodle that I drew in my notebook. All I heard was "what's your name?" From Mr. Henry, after that question a mumble. From the back of the room I couldn't really tell what their name was, the only thing that I could manage to make sure of was that it was a male's voice.

As I continued to doodle in my notebook I heard the same girls mumble something, again I didn't care. So I didn't listen to what they were saying. However, something did catch my attention. When I heard Mr. Henry say my name to the guy who walked in late.

When I looked up I saw him, my worst nightmare. Staring straight into my eyes. No. I thought to myself, I saw his lips curl up into a smirk as he put his hands into his pocket. He rose his hand to the empty seat next to me "Alright I'll sit there" was what I heard come out his mouth.
