The weekend came to an end stupidly quick! Before I knew it I was waking up to the sound of my lovely alarm. Why oh why is it Monday already? After spending the whole day with Zack Saturday, Sunday just came and went. To be fair though I didn't do a lot Sunday, just finished any bits of homework I had left and then just chilled watching Teen Wolf. Ugh, I really cannot be bothered with school. I also cannot be dealing with Jessica the bitch or Justin. In fact, I cannot be bothered with any human interaction. Shutting off my alarm, I drag my tired ass out of bed and into the bathroom. I avoid my reflection at all cost because let's be honest, nobody wants to see how rough they look in the mornings. Turning on the shower waiting for the water to heat up, I strip my clothes off and jump right in. They say showers are supposed to wake you up in the mornings but all this is doing is making me want to stay underneath this lovely hot water. Deciding I've wasted enough time in the shower cleaning myself, I jump out and grab my dressing gown which is hanging on the back of the door. Strolling into my room I grab the first things that catch my eye and throw them on. Running a brush through my hair quickly and chucking some makeup on to hide the heavy black bag under my eye, due to the lovely nightmare I have every night, I spray some perfume and grab my bag.

Heading downstairs I take in how dead and homeless this place feels, not one family picture anywhere. Not one picture of Alison. Sighing I walk into the kitchen to grab something to eat, only to see that there isn't anything. Clearly, Kelly hasn't gone bloody shopping, slamming the fridge door I storm out of the house. Coming to a halt I see the garage door is opening and something knocks the breath out of me. Alison's bike sits up against the wall. Strange, I don't remember seeing that being packed up with the rest of our stuff when we moved. Slowing walking over to it, I see that it's in brilliant condition. But that's probably because Alison only ever ridden the damn thing once. Hesitating I grab the bike, seeing that the lock is wrapped around the seat, it seems suitable to ride to school. Beats walking I guess, resting the lock code is simple enough. Just no helmet. Meh, I look around for It when I've got the time. With that being said I peddle off to school.

Once I arrived at River high, I spot the people I plan on avoiding. After the research and Zack filling me in on bits about Poppy I think its a smart idea. Locking my bike up and heading inside the hell hole. Ugh, why is school even a thing? Like, bite me. Ranting away to myself I don't realize where I'm going and smack straight into someone. That someone is one of the someones I don't want to smack into. Heck, I don't want to bump into anyone.

"Whoah, pretty lost in thought there huh?'

Bryce, freaking Bryce!! Of all the people in this school, I had to run into this dip shit.

"Yeah aha, sorry about that," I say trying to get past him, but this dip shit blocks my path. Really? Can you not tell that I'm trying to get passed?

"That's okay, Nora right? I saw you at Jessica's party. You seem pretty close to Justin"

Bryce, do me a favor, heck, do everyone a favor and FUCK OFF!!! Jesus, it must be coming to that time of the month, or I'm finally growing some balls because I would never think or behave in this manner.

"You must be blind because I am no-where near close with Justin. If you would so kindly move, I need to be somewhere". I don't even give him a chance to say anything because I push past him and speed to my locker.

Slamming my locker open and grabbing what I need, I quickly slam it shut, only to see Zack standing there with a shocked look on his face.

"Someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning," he says with a chuckle.

"You're lucky I like you because right now I'm so not in the mood for jokes and pointless chat"

"Not a morning person I take it?" He says with a raised eyebrow.

Dear heart, why him? (#WATTYS2018)Where stories live. Discover now
