Today was Monday, which meant i had to go to school. Maybe Harry would be there and hide me from the bullying that went on towards me. Maybe he'd stand up for me. I got on a pair of white shorts with a purple t-shirt. I put on my bracelets and brushed my hair. i went downstairs and walked into the kitchen, to find my step father sitting at the table. "Go to school. I expect you home right after school. Don't be late." he said as he got up and walked over to me. i nodded and looked down.
He pointed to the one spoon that was in the sink. "why weren't the dishes done lastnight?" he asked coming closer. "I thought that i didn't have to do them because there was just one spoon in the sink." i whispered. he slapped me across the face again and walked to the entry way to the living room. "Remember what i said. Don't be late." he said glaring at me. My face was hurting so much. Thank god I was almost 18 so i could leave that hell hole.
I got my bag and slung it across my shoulder. i left and started walking to the school. It was only 10 minutes away from where i lived. I stepped in and everyone glared at me as i walked past them. a few popular girls snickered at me, and one spat on my shoulder. i felt tears falling from my eyes and i wiped it off with a napkin. I felt the blade in my jeans pocket, i would need that today. I walked to my locker and put my backpack and books in.
I closed it and found my first homeroom, biology. I was actually good at my classes. I found my seat and no one ever sat next to me. But i was paying attention to my notes, as i saw someone sit in the seat next to me. i looked over to see a girl. She had wavy brown hair that was long, and she had blue eyes. they were really pretty. She smiled at me.
"Hi. I'm Juliet." she said holding out a hand for me to shake. "Hi, i'm Emily." i said shaking her outstretched hand. "Nice to meet you, Emily." she said smiling. "Did you just move here?" i asked Juliet as she took her notes from her bag. "Yeah. I don't think any of the girls willl like me though. I saw what they did to you... I'm sorry." she said looking at me.
"It's fine." i said looking down. At the end of the class, Juliet and i had talked about everything! She was very nice and i liked her already. Maybe i'd have another friend that actually cared about me. Lunch was the only class i was looking forward to. i could maybe eat a little more than i usually do, and I could see Harry and Juliet.
The whole day at school was better, because all the claases i had after lunch, i had with Juliet and Harry. Then i had to go back to the house... i don't want to go back! i hate it there so much. i was walking out the door until i felt someone grab my arm. i turned around to see Harry.
"Hey!" he said opening the door for me. "Hi... Whatcha doing?" i asked. we walked out and he said, "I thought i'd walk you home today... is that okay?" he asked looking at me. "It's fine." i said smiling at him. He blushed and looked down. We talked as we reached the stone path up to my back door.
"are you going to be okay?" he asked. I nodded and he hugged me. "Be careful, okay?" Harry said as he pulled away from me. "Yeah, okay. Bye, Haz." i said. whoa... Haz came out of nowhere... I gues it worked for him because he replied, "Bye Emmo." I laughed and turned towards the door. he put his hand on my shoulder and turrned me back around.
"I'll text you later, Em." he said kissing my cheek. i nodded and blushed. I went into the house, prepared for whatever might come when i wlkde inside. What culd i have done noe? i was gone all day at school... What, did i wash a kinfe wrong? Did i leave some dirt on the window? did i not clean his dresser? i wasn't even supposed to go near his door. I stepped in and saw that he was sleeping on the couch. i went up to my room and fell asleep immediately.
