I wake up sweating because I had a bad dream. It was about when my parents died and when my sister left to go across the country. I have the dream every night. And it actually happened.
I live in a foster home. My foster parents don't care about me at all. They treat me like dirt. I live in a little house in California. I moved here 5 years ago because my parents died and I went into foster care. My foster parents have another child that they didn't adopt. Her name is Lexi and she's 3 years younger than me. My foster parents spoil her but they don't have a care in the world about me.
My names Alex, and I'm 17. I don't have a lot of friends, because I like being in my own little world. I like to read, and listen to music with my headphones in, cuddled in my bed, with the lights off. I like to think about dreams that I wish could come true and all the good and bad things in life.
I get out of bed. And get dressed, I put on a grey T-shirt that had my favorite band on it, black leggings and my white converse. It's the first day of school and everyone tries to look there best but I don't care but that, I wear what I usually wear. It's comfy and laid back. I straiten my hair, and brush my teeth, and wash my face.
My bag lays on my bed and I pick it up and walk down stairs. I put my lunch in my bag and grab a granola bar for breakfast. I head out the door with out saying goodbye and walk to the bus stop. There's 3 other people at my bus stop.
"I like your shirt" a girl says to me, "thanks" I said, "that's my favorite band" she says., "me too" I said. "I'm Allison by the way" she says, "Alex" I said. I think I made a new friend. She seemed nice and she has good taste in music.
The bus finally gets here and I go in and find an empty seat to sit on. When the bus finally gets to school I take out my schedule. I've gone to this school for 2 years so I know where everything is. I head to my first class which is science.
I walk in the class room and get a seat in the back. I got here a little early so I took out my notebook and doodled in it while I waited. People start coming in but I still just draw. "Is this seat taken" I hear a voice say, I look up and see a tall boy with brunette hair. "no you can sit here if you want" I said. he sits down in the seat next to me and takes out textbooks.
"Your a good drawer" he says. "thanks but you don't have to lie" I said, "what, I'm not lying, I actually think your really good" he says, "thank you" I said. He smiles at me but I just look away. I put my notebook away and take out my textbooks. The teacher walks in and begins the class. The boy who sits next to me brakes his pencil "hey can I barrow a pencil" he says, I hand him a pencil and he says "thanks and I'm Chris by the way", "I'm Alex" I say.
We don't really talk for the rest of the class. It goes by quickly and when class is done I walk to my locker. I grab everything I need for history because that's my next class. Once I've got everything, I head to class. I again go to the back of the classroom. Allison walks in and she then sees me and comes sits down right next to me.
"Hi" Allison says, "hi" I say, "how's the day been so far" she asks, "good I guess I met a boy named Chris and that's pretty much it" I say, "wait you met Chris, he's awesome, everyone likes him, well I don't like, like him but he's a good guy" Allison says, "so he's like mr. popular of the school" I ask, "ya pretty much" she says.
The rest of the day goes by fast and when I go to my locker I see Chris standing by it. "is there a reason your standing in front of my locker" I said, "ya I was wondering if I could walk you home" Chris says, "my house is like 20 minutes away and I take the bus" I say, "well do you want to" he says and smiles, "fine" I say.
I grab all my stuff and we start walking to my house. "why do you want to walk me home" I ask, "well you seem interesting, you don't talk to anybody and you don't really care what other people think" Chris says, "I didn't see how I'm that interesting and wouldn't you rather be with a cheerleader and with all your jock friends" I said. he looks at me "you really think I'm that kind of popular guy" he says, "pretty much" I said, "well I'm not like those kind of popular guys I'm different" he says.
"What are you like then" I said, "well I'm nice and i do play sports but I don't want to hang out with all those people and I don't want to hang out with cheerleaders they just are dumb and annoying" Chris says. "Well just why are you with me, because I really want to know the real reason" I said, "why are you so anti social, you don't have any friends and I wanted to change that" he says, "I have friends, and my best friend lives in Wisconsin so I don't get to see him, but I have friends" I said. "him, so you have a guy best friend" he says.
"Why is that surprising, I like having a guy best friend because girls talk about gossip and makeup and all that girly stuff, and I hate all that, and having a guy best friend doesn't talk about all that stuff" I said, "that's true" Chris says. We walk in awkward silence for the rest of the time. We finally get to my house and the silence breaks "well this is my house" I said, "bye" Chris says, "bye" I said.
He walks away and I go inside. I walk to my room. I throw my bag on the floor and lie down on my bed. I hear something hit my window. I check and see what it was. I look out the window and I see Chris standing in my front yard. I go down stairs and go out side. "What do you want" I said, "I forgot to give your pencil back" Chris says, "keep it" I said and he smiles. "can I have your number like just in case I need to give back anything else" Chris says and I laugh,"sure give me your phone" I said. He hands me his phone and I put in my number then hand it back to him.
"Thanks" Chris says with a smile. "Are we done now" I said, "I guess so" he says. I turn around and walk back into side. "Goodnight" he says before I got inside. I turn around and say "goodnight". I then go back in side and go back into my room.
