School.
The one place I don't want to be.
Why does school exist?
At least I got Kenzie.
I don't want to loose her.
I already lost Katie, but she bully's me now..
I also lost Hayden but he is popular and is dating Katie.
All because of that stupid rumour Katie spread about me.
"She slept with her dad and tried blaming it on me" were her exact words.
Everyone took her side even if they knew it wasn't true.
You wanna know why?
Because she's prettier.
That's it.
But Kenzie stuck by me.
She always will.
**beep beep beep**
That's my alarm clock.
Which means "school" ugh.
"Honey!" My mom yells at me from downstairs
"WHAT!" I yell flustered, running down the stairs nearly tripping.
"I have to leave early your father and I have a business meeting but Paige will give Hayley and you a ride to school" my mom explains
"Ok" I sigh, rolling my eyes.
My mom doesn't notice she was to busy applying makeup on her face.
My dad didn't notice either he was busy sipping his stupid black coffee while reading the paper.
Don't get me wrong I love my parents but they don't have time for Hayley and I, but it is what it is right?
They finally leave yelling "love you!" Through the door but I could barely hear it. Paige always understood me.
She always will.
I run up stairs and chose my outfit for today. It doesn't matter what I wear or do though because I'll just get bullied either way by Katie.. it's sad that I can say I'm used to it but it's not sad for me.
It's my life.
That I have to deal with.
I finally chose my outfit but now it was"7:38 am" we leave at 8 am.
This is my outfit:

I apply some makeup and run down the steps

I apply some makeup and run down the steps.
I grab my pancakes and plop on the couch.
"Good morning to you too" Paige laughs
I grin.
I heard footsteps running towards the kitchen. It was Hayley.
"Good morning!!" She waves, with a bright big smile on her face.
"Mornin'" Paige smiles.
I just wave.
There was a comfortable silence.
I break it.
"Um Paige?" I blurt
"Mhmm?" She looks up with a mouth full of pancakes
"I'm gonna take the bus to school, is that ok?" I ask
She nods.
"Thanks" I walk out the door.
Now it was 7:50 am.
The bus comes at 7:55 am.
I scroll through Instagram until I see the bus. I hop on. There were no empty seats so I had to sit beside...oh shit. Johnny Orlando. He is part of "the popular kids" I roll my eyes and sit down.
"Hey" he greets
"Hi..." I say kinda flustered
"Annie, right?" He flashes.
"Yeah...how'd you know that?" I ask
"I don't know" he smiles
I slightly smile.
There was an awkward silence.
"Why are you talking to me? I mean not to be rude I'm just saying..your popular and I'm shy.." I loose track of what I'm saying.
He cut me off
" Annie, I'm not like them" Johnny softly says
"Thanks Johnny" I politely smile
" no problem Anns" he smiles again
"Anns?" I laugh.
"Yup that's your new nickname!" He laughs
I laugh.
The bus pulls up to the school.
Johnny and I walk into school together, laughing. Hayden notices and looks confused.
He finally yells "Johnny, Over here!!" Hayden gestures Johnny to go over to him. "Nahhh ima stick with Annie!" Johnny smiles. Hayden just looked down. He had his arm around Katie and Katie gave me the death stare.
I looked away.
Finally I see Kenzie
"Kenzzzzzz!" I yell.
"Annieeee" she yells back.
We hug.
"Hey aren't you Johnny? You're part of the mean kids oh sorry "the popular kids" Kenz says, rolling her eyes.
"I'm not like that" Johnny says straight faced.
"Um ok then?" Kenz looked confused.
