Life of a dark rose/ lil Skies

Bexley Pov

I opened the front door to the new house my mom just bought.
"It's not impressive but I really think a fresh start will be good for us Ley." My mom said, calling me by my nickname, as we walked into the house. It wasn't a huge impressive house but it was cozy. I looked around, the walls were quite bland and my steps on the hard wood floor echoed through the empty rooms.
"Mom don't worry I like the house. It's very cozy, I bet we could make it feel like home." I said with a smile as I walked further into the house.
"I already enrolled you into school, I think your gonna do good making friends." She said cautiously, knowing I despise school.
"I'll try my best to make friends mom." I said just so she wouldn't think I'm gonna end up lonely.
That has always been my mother's biggest nightmare, that her only daughter would end up alone and upset,
I slowly walked up the stairs looking around at the place I now have to call home. I opened a door at the top of the stairs. It squeaked softly and it showed a room with a beautiful view in a huge window. I smiled and went to the window looked out at the woods which were across the street from my house. The sun was just going behind them and it was honestly the most beautiful thing I ever seen.
"That's quite a view." I heard my mother say from the doorway and I turned with a jump.
"You were very quiet, I didn't mean to jump" I sighed.
"I'm sorry for startling you, have you chosen a room? I want you to have first pick." I mom said with an exciting smile.
"Yeah. I really like this room, it's got a beautiful view through this window, and the closet is huge." I said with excitement in my voice.
"I will bring your boxes up." My mom said as she turned to go back downstairs.
"Mom! I got it I don't want you to strain yourself and the baby." I said as I walked downstairs grabbing my boxes.

After all night I finally got my stuff upstairs and set up. I sat on the windowsill and I looked at the night sky. I smiled and I hoped for the best tomorrow at school.

I woke up to the sound of my phone beeping and I groaned, rolling off my mattress which was on the floor. I tossed my blanket onto the mattress and I grabbed my phone. I tossed my hair up as I did my makeup. After I finished my makeup I tossed on a random outfit from the top of my suitcase and I took my hair back down.

I sighed looking at advice from people on my Instagram. I went downstairs and my mom handed me food and my medicine for my Aortic valve insufficiency. It's just a weird thing where my Aortic valve doesn't close properly and blood could flow into my heart instead of out of it, it's nothing serious my doctor gave me the okay to move out of England.
I ate quickly and went on my way to school.
Once I made it to school I went into the office and up to the older lady behind the desk.
"Um hello. My name is Bexley Maillard, I just moved here?" I said and the lady tossed papers onto the counter as a boy came into the office with an attitude.
"You!" He shouted as he pointed to the lady, "I told you I wasn't going to detention so you give me 3 more?!"
I slowly grabbed the papers and tried to get out of the office.
"Ma'am please stay I need to talk to you, and Mr Foose, I will make it 6 total if you don't lower your voice."
"C-can I please leave?" I mumbled, getting anxious from my past with yelling.
"No ma'am I need you to stay. Now Mr Foose wait."
The boy threw a bunch of papers off the counter and he sat down very angrily.
I looked at him and he stood up close to me and tears welled up in my eyes, "who do you think your looking at?"
"I-I am s-sorry." I mumbled and stuttered out.
"Okay mrs Maillard, this is your schedule, and the rooms are grouped by numbers so upstairs you will find the 200 rooms, down the hall there you will find the 100 rooms, you know what, mr Foose show this young lady around and I will take 2 detentions off your file."
"Fine, lets go." He grumbled and he grabbed my schedule.
"So w-what's Your n-name?" I mumbled not really wanting to talk to him, but I also didn't want to walk in silence.
"None of your business, your not even cool enough to be close to me, your first class is... strange we have almost an identical schedule..."
I held back a squeak of fear because this man has scared the shit out of me, and now I'm stuck with him all day...
I slowly followed behind the tall guy who seems to be angry with life itself. As we continued to walk he slowly came to a stop and he turned to look at me.
I finally got a good look at his face, he was different from the people I use to seeing. He had tattoos in his face and neck, they suited him actually. His hair was curly and in his face but through his hair I could see his dark brown eyes starring at me. I didn't realize how long I was starring...
"What are you looking at?" He said with some sort of anger against me.
"I-I... I'm sorry... I was just looking at you because I've never seen anyone who looked like you back at home..." I said, but I probably should have stopped at sorry.
"What do you mean, looks like me?" He said with confusion and anger, along with a glair that seemed to hurt me physically.
"Back home in England you don't see many people who look like you..." I said, just wanting to get out of his glair, it felt like it was ripping through my skin and tearing me apart.
There was a brief moment of silence and we just starred at each other, until the bell rang making me realize we were late. He didn't say a word as he turned around and walked into a room. I walked in with him and the teacher gave him a look.
"Kimetrius, what did I say about you being late to class?"
"I was showing the new girl around." He said with an attitude as he shoved my schedule into my hands before sitting down with a group of guys.
"Hello, welcome, I'm Mrs Royce."
"I'm Bexley..."
"You can have a seat right over there." She said pointing to the empty desk like 2 feet from that guy, Kimetrius is what I think she called him. I went to the desk and I placed the now crumbled schedule onto the desk and I sat down. I pulled out my phone and I seen my mom messaged me.
Momma<3: hey hun, how's school been?
Bexley: gosh mom it barely even started
I put my phone away as the teacher started talking but I couldn't hear anything over the guys talking next to me.
Class was very long and I pretty much missed everything the teacher said. I looked at my schedule and seen I had Chemistry next in room 14.
The bell rang and I stood up grabbing my stuff.
The guy came up to me and he grabbed my schedule out of my hand. I flinched away from him slightly and I looked at him as he looked at my schedule through his curls.
"Chem in room 14, the teachers a real dickhead." He mumbled before grabbing my wrist pulling me along with him.
I stumbled and almost fell, and the feeling of him tightly grabbing my wrists made it feel like my scabs were gonna rip open and bleed on my hoodie sleeves.
I took in a sharp inhale of breath through my teeth and he stopped and looked at me confused.
He held up my wrist and he squeezed it harder causing a tear to fall from my eye as I looked at my wrist.
"You inflict pain to numb the pain. I feel your pain..." he quietly said, almost too quiet to hear.
