The alarm wakes me at 7:00. It's that dreaded day of the week again Monday. I seriously hate Monday's. I roll out of bed not very gracefully and head over to the bathroom. I have a long hot shower hoping that today will be a good day. I get out and wrap a towel around myself and go over to my wardrobe and pick something out to wear. I don't have anyone I need to impress so I just put on some skinny jeans, a plain grey t-shirt, black converse and then, of course, I grab a beanie. I then blow dry my hair, brush my teeth and put on the beanie. I grab my bag from my bed and blow a kiss to the picture of me, my mother and my dad that sits on my bedside table. I start making my way downstairs for breakfast.
"Good Morning Abigail, did you sleep well?" Emma, Todd's wife asks me.
"Morning, yes fine thanks," I say with a small smile.
"That's good, there are some pancakes on the table for you" she points to the table where Todd is currently on his phone, oblivious to the world around him.
"Thanks, Emma."
"No problem." She says with a smile and then leaves to go wake up Camryn for her to go to school.
I eat my breakfast quite fast hoping Todd wouldn't bring up yesterday. I was just about to leave when,
"I just want to say sorry again for yesterday."
"Its fine, I got to go now see you later." I walk to the front door, picking up my phone that's laying on the table next to the door and start walking to my bus stop. I play some music from my phone a little too loud but it's what I like to do to block out the world. Let's hope today will be a good day.

I arrive at school with no difficulties. Nobody talked to me which is a good thing in my world. I head off to my first lesson which is maths. What a lovely way to start the day. Note sarcasm. On my way there somebody stands right in front of me blocking my way forward.
"Oh look who we have little miss nobody." Stacy's high pitched voice says. Her friends all laugh at her 'joke'.
"Can I pass?" I say quietly
"Who said you could talk to me, you little weirdo!" She starts to raise her voice. I try to move around her but she won't let me.
"And where do you think you're going I'm not done with you." she snarls,
"Just let me pass Stacy," I say not making eye contact.
"Fine." That was a surprise maybe she's bored of me and is going to move on to somebody else to bully. But when I start to pass her she puts her foot out. I fall flat on my face I'm just glad everyone is in class so no one saw that. She then kicks me in the side. Hard. And walks away with her friends all of them laughing. I'm glad I entertain you I want to say to them but I don't. I don't have the guts to say that. I sigh, moving to a sitting position I feel a jolt of pain in my side and I wince. I rub the tears that have escaped from my eyes. Why does this have to happen to me? Don't I feel enough pain in my life? I sigh, I guess God just doesn't like me. When I'm about to get up a hand is placed in front of my face.
"Are you okay? I saw what just happened should I take you to the nurse? Not that I know where that is because I'm new here." I look up to see a boy looking down at me with worried eyes. I take his hand and let him help me up.
"No! Really I'm fine, I'm used to it." I say then run off. I hear him calling after me but I just run until I get to my maths class. I open the door and all eyes are on me which I really hate since I hate being the centre of attention.
"Miss Archer how nice of you to join us." She says, not very happy that I'm 10 minutes late.
"Sorry Miss," I mumble and basically run to my desk at the back of the class. Ignoring the whispers. She's about to go on with class when there's a knock on the door. The boy from earlier walks in and apologizes for being late because he couldn't find the class.
"Everyone I would like you to meet the new student Jesse Clarke to the class. You may take a seat next to Miss Archer in the back" she points at me. Why me? All the girls in my class look back and glare at me I just keep my head down and slowly slide down my seat. He walks over to me and sits down. I can tell he's staring at me but I ignore it. After 40 minutes the bell finally rings and I pack my bag away slowly letting everyone out before me. I jump when Jesse taps me on the shoulder.
"I didn't catch your name earlier."
"Oh sorry." He looks at me and smirks.
"You don't talk much do you? Any way how about you tell me your name. I would tell you mine but you already know it."
"It's Abigail," I answer quietly.
"Pretty name for a pretty girl." He says and looks me in the eye and I laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" he asks.
"You don't need to lie to me," I say under my breath. Whilst he's not looking I walk to the front about to leave the class. When I'm outside the door he shouts across the room.
"I wasn't! You just don't want to believe the truth!" That makes me smile. I turn around to look at him he winks at me. I smile back and leave the classroom. Maybe today will be a good day after all.

The day went on slow from there but I was happy to go home when the bell rings signaling the end of the day. I decided I want to walk home today. I got my phone out of bag, put the earphones in and blasted Fall Out Boy. It was the start of April and I really don't like April for obvious reasons. My dad died in this month. But walking home with music loud in my ears and the cold spring wind in my face, I was actually enjoying myself. I pulled my beanie lower on my head so it would cover my ears. I was just about to go into my house when I saw that the house next door to mine had been sold. Since when was that house up for sale? I got to my house and called,
"I'm home!" I heard laughing coming from the kitchen so I went to see what was going on. Jesse Clarke was now having a conversation with my brother, he saw me and smiled.
"Hello there Abigail" he smirked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. What the hell was the new boy doing in my kitchen talking to my brother?
"Didn't I tell you earlier? No, I don't think I did, oops." he laughs to himself,
"Answer my question will you."
"That's not a way to talk to your new neighbor now is it?" I stood there with mouth open. What did he just say? I was wrong today is definitely not a good day.
