New Kid

As I woke up to go to school I went to go get some breakfast. As I was walking down the stairs I saw a lot of glass on the floor from beer bottles. But then I looked around to see if my parents were around and there was no sign of them besides the beer bottle shattered on the floor. Who knows where they went and who knows what had happened to them that night. I started to eat my bowl of cereal and left for school. As I was walking to school, from a few streets down i could see that there was a commosion going on. I didn't know what it was about because everyone was crowding whatever was in the middle. As I stated to get closer to the front if the school where all the commosion was happening, I tried to peek in on what was going on. There was a new kid. Even though I usually never like anybody, this boy was actually the cutest boy I've ever seen in my life! After looking at him, the bell rang for 1st period and I thought to myself, "what if he's in my classes?!" I would be so happy! (For once). My first period was science, so after I sat down, all of a sudden the new kid came in. My mouth dropped and I got butterflies in my stomach because I wanted him to sit next to me so bad. Our teacher Ms. Katherine introduced him to us. His name was Liam Gonzalez. She announced where he was going to sit...it was next to me! I felt so embarrassed because I always look like a loner, I thought he was going to make a face when the teacher told him he was going to sit next to me. But when he set his things down, he started to talk to me. "Hi, I'm Liam" he said. I told him hi back but then I froze, "my name is Emily" I said nervously. Then class began, we would talk and laugh, then class ended. We went to our next class, but we didn't have each other in the same class. I was disappointed, but I was okay with it. At lunch I saw him and asked to sit with him, but then he said that Sophia asked him to sit with him at lunch the class period before lunch which was 4th. I had 3rd with him so that means that he had 4th period with Sophia, I was angry, I mean I had him first! Then as the days go by, he sat with her everyday and I got annoyed. Then as I got home, *slit* there goes another cut, "ouch!" I kept saying after every cut. But I didn't care much. As the days kept going, I became more isolated from him and then all of a sudden, he's the cool kid, the one everyone wants to date, the one that'll cheat on girl after girl. He became worse day after day and I stayed away as long as possible. Then it happened again, right when I thought things were going to get better, it became worse, it started to feel like nothing happened, that he was never in my life, I felt isolated again. I hated life now. *slit* there goes another one. Another day with another boring life, I was so done with seeing Liam with Sophia and the next second with another girl, I mean we are only in middle school, why is he like this?! I was just so confused with life, really confused. I never understood the feelings of liking someone, but everyone else did which was a difference I had with every one. Walking in the hallway alone was kinda calming, I ditched class thinking it was gonna be cool because I get to wander all over the school and it would be so peaceful not having to hear anyone talking to me and say the things that shouldn't be said, I mean there really is no reason🤷‍♀️. Anyways after wandering for a while, I got tired so again I ditched school and walked home. Obviously there was no one home and there was still glass on the floor. I was very worried but I knew they would come back soon. I went to bed even though it was only like 11 in the morning when everyone was still at school. I fell asleep calmly and didn't wake up for a while. When I woke up I was in shock, it was 11, but not at night, it was still in the morning. I was confused because I know I slept for a long time. Then I just remembered that my parents had set up security cameras like 1 year ago and I wondered if they had like a screen to watch what was happening. So looked all over the house but I couldn't find it. Then I checked the basement...i found it! "But why would they keep it in the basement" I thought to myself. Anyways back to looking at what happened on camera....i was looking at the screen and typed in 11am so it would take me to that point if day because even though when I woke up and it said 11am, it was dark outside so I knew something was wrong. So as I typed in 11am, I payed close attention to what was happening and of course, I knew it, someone came in the house and changed my clock. Guess who it was....it was Liam. I didn't why he would do that but I think he was brought into it by Sophia. I just knew somehow. So then I fell asleep again for school the next day. When I woke up I quickly ran to school to get there early and talk with Sophia, I was going to face my fears. So as I arrived to school, I looked for Sophia and I found her outside at the lunch tables. I walked up to her and asked why she made Liam change my clock and I asked her how she knew where I lived. She told me that she made Liam follow me after school and change my clock for no reason. I was pissed! I walked away angrily and she was laughing with all her friends. When I saw Liam in 3rd period, I just ignored him the whole time but he didn't seem to care. So I went home that day and, really mad because she did all this for no reason and I thought I was under like a night spell. So as I arrived home, went to kitchen, then the bathroom and *slit* there goes my third cut on my wrist. It didn't hurt anymore when I cut myself, I got used to it because of the other times before. I just had a little blood this time though. I fell asleep on the coach because I felt drowsy after the cut so I just quickly went to the coach.
