Chapter 1

"ok then. see you after the semester. love you, Mason," i hung up on the phone. Mason is my big brother, he's in his Junior year of college. He and i moved out of our parents house once he turned 18, since my parents were never home anyways and didnt care what happened. but now it was just me because he was in his 3rd year of college-which meant i've been alone for 3 years. i was barely making it through with the rent though, and i was barely 17 and in my senior year. i had to work two jobs a day. i also was a volunteer at an animal shelter named 'D.H.C.' which stood for dogs, horses, and cats, but i dont like cats. im allergic. i always stay away from that section of the shelter and let the employees deal with them. i love horses and dogs though. especially this one horse and one male german shepherd puppy in the shelter.
I work at a cafe from 4 am to 7:50, and then rush to school. after school, i get out at 3, and head to the shelter, arriving at 3:50 and stay until 6:30. after that, i get to my last job of the day, my favorite job-since i volunteer at the shelter- which is Tilly's. i love the fashion, too bad i cant afford it-even with my employee discount. i work there from 7-12 pm midnight, which is exhausting. i then get home and do my homework, which takes me almost two hours, and go to bed after. so i get about 2 hours of sleep each night. i always have bags under my eyes, and i get a little sleepy throughout the school hours, but i always perk up once i see Gage-the german shepherd puppy- and Misty-the brown and white horse- at the shelter. I sigh, today was Sunday, my last day of work-free time. im always off from Friday to Sunday, which is awesome. with a sigh, i go to bed early to try and at least get my 3rd and final 8 hours of pure sleep bliss.

I wake up at 3:30 in the morning, like every Monday- Thursday. I take my usual shower, excluding my hair considering i washed it the night before. I leave it down in my usual braid. I go to my closet and sigh at the lack of clothes options, picking out some black tights and white converse. i pick out a black undershirt with a few holes on it and cover it up with a red v-neck. i grab a white denim jacket and put on my forever bracelet. it was a gold bracelet my parents had given me at the age of 3, which had my name engraved on it. the only time i ever take it off is to shower. i got into my rusty car and headed to work with a sigh.

After work, i hurried to school, getting there just a little after the bell rang. i hurried down the halls, passing by one of my exes who i felt nothing towards. his name? not important. im not really the kind of girl who has crushes anymore. Anytime i get a boyfriend, my twin sister, Amelia, interferes, and they always end up leaving me for her. Always. So after that i learned to stop hoping that one day, a guy would chose me over her. she was the prettier twin of us both. she had a better body, was popular, and wasnt as shy as me. She lives with my parents though, she'll sometimes drop by to visit Mason. She doesnt like me much, because i got one of her boyfriends. but i dont see what she's angry about since she got him back. After that, she avoided me. our once sisterly sweet bond broken. it no longer exists. Anyways, after that, i no longer had crushes or boyfriends, fearing they one day might meet Amelia and chose her over me- the story repeating itself.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts and entered the classroom, my teacher not caring that i was late. I almost fell asleep in the class, due to my lack of sleep. i was set on sleeping at least 8 hours last night, but i couldnt fall asleep, leaving me to finally fall asleep at around 1 am. the boring teacher wasnt helping my situation either. its amazing how i still manage to keep my A and B average grades in each class.
