   Walking back to class, Ashley realized she was late without an excuse. And that she put her books on a random desk.

"Oh god.." she thought as she started running until she made it in the class and smiled. The teacher wasn't in there yet, and  her books was perfectly safe.

"Thank god.." she grabbed her books looking for an empty seat near the back of the class. There was only one but it was by some scary looking kids that had banged up knuckles, and bruises covering their body.

"Can't judge a book by its cover.." Ashley thought, as she walked back there and sat down, ignoring the little posse staring at her.

"Your name?" The mixed kid sitting beside her asked, titling his head with a smile. "Ashley."

"Ashley's a pretty name you know? My favorite pornstar names is Ashley. Hey brad, isn't your favorite Ashley too?"

Her cheeks lit up red once again from embarrassment and having no clue what to do so she laid her head down hoping they wouldn't steal anything or right "porno" on her books.

Listening to the door shutting, she could hear all the kids shifting one way so she sat up to see some big fat harry man walk into the class and sit at the desk.

"S-second period??" He stuttered with black bags under his eyes. Everyone nodded, as the teacher ran his eyes over the class he mumbled "24".

"We have one more person here today, is someone skipping gym again? Or a new victim?" He asked abruptly.

"New victim.." Ashley raised her hand slowly as all eyes directed towards her, then back to what they was doing again

"What's your name?" Mr meto asked quickly as he was checking kids off the list.

"Ashley" the mixed kid said with a slight smirk. Watching the teachers reaction as he sat up and wrote his name on the chalk board then quickly said "Nicolas I didn't ask you, but thanks"

Nicolas nodded at Ashley with a smile, then back to talking too his friends. Ashley was really debating that maybe there are some nice kids in this school and not all are monsters.

Once the bell rang after the short period she was about to walk past the teachers desk when he abruptly asked "last name?".

Ashley froze, her family name was very known around here and she quietly mumbled "Malone.."

He sat quiet for a moment, then moving his pencil a bit he smiled and said "have a wonderful day Ashley, hope you do well and I'm very happy to have you".

After a short school day, with teachers just on their phones. Ashley decided to walk home.

Putting her earbuds in and ignoring all her surroundings, listening to her melody as she walked down the sidewalk until she started getting to a dark ally and walked down it.

Walking into one of the side buildings and up a pair of stairs, she took a key out of her pocket and opened 'Apartment 6".

Walking in to the smell of beer and oder she held her breath until she walked into her small room, put down her things and took her flower scented spray and devoured the living room & kitchen with it.

Cleaning up a bit before her dad woke up and complained how she made it so messy, when she didn't.

Ashley sighed, flopping on the couch as she heard her dads bedroom door creaked open. She watched from the corner of her eye as he slumped into the kitchen.

"N-n-no food?" He hiccuped from his hangover and he slumped over beside Ashley and stared as the side of her face as she could feel it burning as the stare grew.

"What would you like dad?" She asked in a sweet and kind way so he'd be more cheery and not a ass.

"Eggs. Make it quick I leave in 35" he growled as he checked his watch. Pulling out her phone she gulped.

"Dad.. the time changed..your about an hour and 25 minutes late.. if you hurry you could just say there was a tra-" she was cut off by him turning the glass cup table over.

Thankful it didn't crack or break, she still had to deal with the stumbling creature coming towards her.

"So your telling me you d-didn't hurry your Ass up! And come home to wake me up!" He was screaming right beside her face where she could feel the spit.

"I'm sorry, I can't ride the bus because the nearest stop is 6 blocks away.. I can make it faster by walking I think.." Ashley mumbled as she kept her head down.

Feeling that bad things would happen when he came back from work her eyes started to water. But she didn't shed a tear infront of him. As soon as he walked out with a growl. She broke down in the kitchen sobbing and throwing her hand backwards across the counter. Taking out everything in her path.

Finally pulling her self together, she stubbled back to her room and slammed the door shut. Siting on her bed as she stared at an old picture of her with her dad.
