10 [Leila]

"Oi, Leila. Want some breakfast?"
"No mother, I don't want anything from you."  I spat back at her... She shook her head at me with disgust. I scowled back.

I trudged up the stairs to my room to avoid my mother until I went to school. It had been a month since I last saw her, since she came home. I despised her. She left for work one day and didn't say goodbye, then didn't come back for a month. A fucking month! She just abandoned me! Same with my dad! He just got up and left one day and hasn't come back since. Who knows where the fuck he went. I don't even think my mother knows! I don't give a shit about him anyway, and he doesn't give a shit about me.

I locked the door of my room behind me and I sat on my bed. It was 7:00, 2 hours before we start school. I had time.

I grabbed out my diary and a pen from my dresser and opened to the next clear page.

Dear who the fuck cares... My mother is ruining my life. She ruined my life when she left, but I learnt to move on. But now she waltzed back into this house like nothing was wrong and I fucking hate her for it. She couldn't just leave me the hell alone and stay away? It's what she's good at anyway. NO she had to come back when I didn't need her anymore. She thinks she can make me breakfast in the morning and I'll forgive her? Well she's damn wrong! Whatever, I can't let her take over my brain. Not after what she did to me. Bye.

Me and Violet walked through the school gates like usual and I'm glad that I couldn't see Grayson anywhere, even though I knew I had to face him at some stage.

"How'd it go yesterday?" I asked Violet. She blushed, Why the hell did she do that? "It was gr...fine." She stuttered. "V you know that he will hurt you! They all will! It's not a joke! You can't just play around and end up fine, he will break you." I said harshly, earning a sad look from her.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry V! I just get so protective of you!" I gushed. She patted my shoulder lightly, "I know Leila, thank you. It's not like that with him. He just gave me the book and told me to read it. Nothing more." She explained. I hugged her.
"I love you, you know that right Leila, no boy will ever replace you." She giggled, getting a soft punch from me. "Yeah I love you too Violet."

We walked into English and found our seat up the back. A sub entered the classroom afterwards. Wow, he looked no older then 20! Yes, now I don't have to sit with Grayson. Violet wiggled her eyebrows at me causing us both to giggle. The twins sat a couple of seats to the right of me and Violet. I breathed a sigh of relief. No nervous energy today... thank god.

This is what the sub teacher looked like...

"Good morning class. I am Mr. Park, and i will be taking this class for the rest of the yea. Your teacher Miss Bell is on maternity leave so she wont be back until next year."

I scoffed, "Shes pregnant? I thought she was just obese!" I said loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone burst out laughing, and i saw Grayson snicker which made me smile. Mr. Park raised his eyebrow at me with a smirk, "So did i Leila Burke." he said simply, making the class laugh again.
