Ya know when you finally work out after a month of just bein' lazy and your sore? They say the first day is always hard but the second day is harder well in my case it's been about a week of me just sittin' 'round the house bein' lazy lucky for me today is the first day of school for my brother and I. So fun. Note my sarcasm.

"Oakley hurry up we're gonna be late!"

"I'm comin'!"

It also been a week since I had my first nightmare. My dad has been workin' at the school for about a two weeks now and he said that he really don't need to be at school early cause he's the football coach so all he has to do is show up at about 4 O'clock leave at 6 O'clock then hope that he trained them well enough to win a few games.

Runnin' down the steps in my new house throwin' my blond hair ta the side each step I run down. I run into the kitchen in search of my shoes unable ta find them I run ta the living room, lookin' behind the couches and stacked cardboard boxes that we have yet ta fold and put away. "Ah ha ya' little sh-"

"Oakley we gotta go or we're gonna be late!" My oh so lovely brother cuts me off.

"Shut yo' trap I'm comin'!" I yell back grabbin' my black bag off the love seat and runnin' out the door screamin' a goodby' and I love ya' at my dad.

I hop in the passenger seat after throwin' my bag in the bed of the truck.

"Why can dad be at the school later but we have to be there by 8?" I whine.

"'Cause he's the football coach we are students." He emphasises 'football coach' and 'students.'

"That ain't fair."

"Oakley do you even hear yourself righ' now? Yo' sound like a whiny babe now put on yo' shoes we are gonna be there in a minute." He reminds me to put on my shoes before I become the schools stupid.

By the time we get to school people were slowly headin' in I jump out pullin' on my hat then gettin' my sack out of the truck bed. My brother and I run in the school and ta the office.

"Hi there," I take a look at the name tag on her desk "Mrs. Diana, I'm Oakley and this is my brother Chase. We're here to get our planners."

"Hello Chase and Oakley it's very nice to meet too." She shakes our hands. "I will get you both your schedules now." She says startin' to type and click away on the computer until we here the printer start to print. She grabs the two papers from the printer and hands them both two us. "Here you go lovelys."

"Thank you Mrs. Diana." Chase and I both say then head off to class.

Where the hail is this fuckin' class.

I think to myself until I run into what I think is a wall. "God damn it why am I so clumsy." I rub my face.

"Uh...Oakley you're standing on my foot." The wall speaks.

Wait a minute walls don't speak.

I look up finding Odin. "Oh, hi Odin."

"Hi Oakley, can you get off my foot please." He points down.

"Oh, oh! Sorry sorry!" I apologise getting off his foot.

"It's no problem." He jumps in a circle cradlin' his foot. "What class do you have?" He asks as he settles on both feet.

"History room 102."

"Ah,you got Diaz first. Well lucky for you so do I come on, I'll show you." He starts walkin' so I follow behind him going to our class careful to memoriz' the pathway to class.

Gettin' to class we walk in only ti be greeted by the teacher. "Ahh, late again are we Odin."

"Yep, but it's not my fault this time. I ran into Oakley here she's new." He points to me and I give a small wave to the teacher whose attention is now on me for only a second.

"Fine I'll let it pass, now take your seat. As for you I assume your Oakley." His gaze falls on me once again.

"Yes sir."

"I'm Mr. Diaz, you can take a seat beside Odin since the girl that used to sit there dropped this class. Hopefully he can get you up to date." He motions towards the seat to the left of Odin.

"Yes sir." I walk to the seat he motions ta. Sittin' down I look at the back of my of my planner where it has the time we get out of our classes.

1st Block 8:00-8:50
2nd Block 8:55-9:50

6th Block 1:55-2:55
7th Block 2:55-3:35

Okay so we get outta here at 8:50 but why-oh okay never mind I'm just an idiot like usual.

"Ms. Archives would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"

"Sure." I stand. "Um, I'm Oakley Archives I just moved here and have a twin brother Chase." I introduce myself sittin' back down.

"Thank you, now that's over let's start the lesson shall we."

And this is the part where I zone out.

You know Chase may have said that I didn't deserve any of those things that I thought but I do 'cause I never did what he asked if I just did what he asked then maybe we wouldn't have such a hard life maybe mom wouldn't have killed herself in front me and I wouldn't have had all those things done to me when I was a child.
Why did she have to leave? Why did mommy die? Was I really that bad of a child?
Did she really not want me that much to kill herself?

"Oakley." Someone calls my name. "Class is over." I look up finding Odin in front of me.

"Oh uh, thanks." I mumble.
