Everyday for two years my life has been hell. I live in a neighborhood where my life is everyone's business. We share everything until nothing is left in this shitty ass neighborhood.

Welcome to St. James! Thanks for joining are lovely town.

"Pff, lovely town? More like shitty town," I say as my hands graze the top of my sun glasses and the wind softly blows my hair back. Pulling up to the school parking lot I see my usual crew.

"Mikey!" I call and suddenly all I see is a patch of red running towards me.

"ALI!" He screams into my ear as he hugs me tightly.

"Where's Jaz?"

"She's inside protecting Nic from Cleo again" he sighs while running his fingers through his hair.

"That bitch hurt my Nic again?" she sighed while putting her hands on her hips. She takes short strides while fastening her pace. Her eyes roam the tall building and she pushes open the doors. There before her stands Cleo  and his mop of curly blonde hair. The hallway quickly opens up like the red sea like I was Moses or something. I could feel the eyes of my enemies watching me as I walked forward.

"Ay, Cleo!" I scream as I see a patch of blonde hair turn around. There, was the face of my enemy, Cleo Watson. I walk up to him staring him right in his pathetic eyes.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"I ain't doing shit," he unwraps his hands from Nic's shirt.

"Ya know, Violence is never the answer but, I find it hard not to kick your ass," I say while cracking my knuckles for the 3rd time today. The pitter patter of heels clinking against the ground hurts my ears. All eyes turn towards Mrs. Lynskey.

"Young lady! You will watch your language," Mrs.Lynskey yells from across the hall. Her long legs scurry across the hall until she reaches her desired destination. Mrs.Lynskey was a tall, petite angry lady form hell. She became our principal a few years back and loves to ruin my life all the goddamn time.

"Hello Linda, nice to see you again!" I say while standing with my back straight and painting a smile on my face.

"Its Mrs.Lynskey for you," she points her long painted finger at my face and squints her eyes.

"Ah, ok, I gotchu Linda" I squint my eyes right back at her. She turns around and scurries away like a little pest would. Everyone seems to flush away like water not wanting to get in trouble that day. Cleo still stands before me and quickly pushed Nic towards me.

Nic hurries to my side not saying a thing. I don't know what I was expecting anyways. Nic was a mute, and he didn't say shit to me anyways. I pay him down making sure he wasn't fully hurt. I look up to see his eyes shining with desire.

"Yah, Yah you're welcome kid."

Quickly walking to my locker and gathering my materials for the day. I notice a few new words in black permanent marker are on my locker. Words like outcast, Bitch, Ugly whore, and slut. Sighing, I pick my favorite book up 'The fault in our stars' and I shut my locker.

Running to class as quickly as I can I get there literally 30 seconds before the bell. I get in without being noticed but not before catching one of the jocks eyes. Logan fucking Lerman glares at the back of my head as I walk.

"Hey look whose showing up for class late once again," I roll my eyes and scurry to my seat in the back; Sitting down right next to Ian one of the soccer player squad. The teacher rushes into classroom with red lipstick stained on his collar and his clothes literally everywhere.

"Sorry I was late class, I had a....emergency," he pauses to take a quick breath between his lies. For some reason I feel sorry for him. He fell in love with the wrong girl at the wrong time, and now the whole neighborhood will know his business before his wife does. I open my book and I suddenly get lost into the world of Hazel and Augustus. I get deeper and deeper until I look up to see a set of blue eyes staring right at me.

"Do we have a problem?" I say while grinding my teeth a little too hard. Looking down at my book once again, the set of blue eyes watches me closely.

"Excuse me sir, Can you leave me the fuck alone please?!"he squints his eyes and scoots closer to me.

(SPOILER ALERT FOR TFIOS)

"Augustus dies," he whispers into my ear.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" I scream.

I cover my mouth and close my eyes waiting for my punishment.

"Excuse me?! Mrs. Harper, do we have a problem?"

"Actually, We do Mr. Johnson! Mr. Lerman was being a dick and ruining the last piece of joy in my life," My eyes wander down to my favorite book and I shut it not wanting to look at it any more. The bell rings causing me to pack my stuff as fast as possible.

"Hey wait up!" blue eyes calls after me while chasing me down the hall. Grabbing me by the arm he pushes me against the nearest wall and holds my arms above my head.

"Don't think you can get away after talking to me like that," he whispers in my ear as his right hand roams my body. His eyes seem to catch mine and literally everything freezes around me. The feeling of his soft hands move up and down on my petite body. The mintyness of his breath hits my nose as he breathes in and out to calm himself.

I seem to get a few words out before I burst with fear "Please stop," I cringe as I remember the way my mothers hands fit perfectly around my neck. I begin to hear screams, where are they coming from? I can't feel them coming from my own throat, the sound of my scream seems almost foreign to me. My eyes look up to see everyone staring at me like I'm some freak.

"Ali!" the sound of my friends voices calling after me as I run makes me run even faster.

Get away

Go

Don't come back

Freak

The voices in my head seem to scream at me while my legs move faster taking me far away from this hell.
