Chapter 1~Carter

"Carter it's time for school! Get up!" my father shouted from across the hall.

Slowly, I lifted myself up from my comforting bed and into my bathroom.

I look horrible, I thought as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

My dark hair, disheveled around my face.

Dark bags circling my eyes.

My pale skin, cracked lips, and plain body, adding on to my unkempt appearance.

I pushed my thoughts aside and splashed some cold water on my face, preparing for another day at the hell hole that I spend 7 hours of my day in, Northbridge High school. Though, it's not like the other 17 hours are any better.

After I brush my teeth and take a brief shower I move into my bedroom to find a decent outfit to wear. My usual outfit is: jacket, converse, skinny jeans. And that's exactly what I'm wearing today.

Once I am fully clothed I grab my phone and my backpack, checking the time as I walk out onto my front porch.

7:16 AM, which means the bus should come in 4 minutes.

I walk down to my bus stop, that is only a few feet away, and wait as I hear my bus make it's way down my street. Subsequently, the bus stops in front of me, emitting an extremely annoying, high pitched, screech.

"Hello Mrs.Brently." I greet politely as the rusty bus doors slowly open.

"Hi Carter!" She chirps back at me, smiling brightly.

I sit in the front seat since I am the only one who actually rides the bus.

She shuts the door as I sit down in my usual seat and she slowly pulls off.

Grievously, Mrs.Brently is basically my only 'friend'. She is in her mid 30's and has red-orange hair and hazel colored eyes. And since no one near my age take notice of me, she is the only company I really have.

My father rarely talks to me anymore since him and my mother have divorced. And I'm sure my mom couldn't care less about me. So it's nice to have someone to talk to, though, I know she probably can't relate to anything.

After some small talk, we finally arrive at school.

"Alrighty then I guess I will see you at 2." She says giving me a small smile as I exit the bus.

As soon as I walk inside of the building I spot Jenna along with the rest of her friends so I decide to take the long way to my locker, hopefully avoiding her along with her alliance.

Successfully, I lock away my bag and grab my thing for all of my classes so that I won't have to pass Jenna more often than needed. I make my way to Algebra B2 which is my first period class with Mr.Dawson. And like usual, I'm the first person to class.

I start copying down the notes from the board, so that way I won't have to pay attention I'll just figure stuff out later.

Soon after I finish copying my notes, the bell rings and my class mates rush into their seats including the three most popular guys in school: Taylor Caniff, Aaron Carpenter, and Shawn Mendes.

"Settle down!" Mr.Dawson demanded as every took their seats, and with that I put my headphones in my ears slipping into my own, carefree, world.
