Upside Down

Nine

Monday.

I normally don't mind Monday's. They are just another day to me really. My parents were always carting me around and dragging me every which way on any day so the days of the week never really mattered to me or them.

But today, is totally different. I hate this Monday specifically.

Today, I officially start my new life. Today I continue my senior year of high school at a brand new school smack dab in the middle of the school year. I just can't wait to graduate and get out of here.

Then my new life can really start.

I am not looking forward to school at all today. I have no friends here. I don't know anyone here. I am going in completely blind. I am all alone here.

I don't even have my mom to come home and complain about my day to. All I have is Hillary and god knows I don't want to talk to her willingly about my problems.

She is one of my problems. 

My dad parks the car outside the front of the school to drop me and Peter off. I guess I'm lucky that I have Peter to show me around. Although, I do wish it was Logan. At least I know Logan likes me. I don't think Peter is exactly my biggest fan. He has hardly said a single word to me since I came to live with them. I don't blame him.

But at least I know that Peter is at least a familiar face among the faces of all these strangers.

I follow the hand drawn map Logan made for me and find my first class pretty easily. Logan's map really helped cut down the time I would have spent panicking about where to turn. I take a deep breath before entering the room and finding a seat all the way in the back.

I grab out my notebook, hang my head, and silently hope that I can get through today without anyone making it a big deal that I am here.

I just want to finish school so that I can graduate and move on with my life. That's it. I can't imagine it will be that hard. There is only a month of school left. I can do it.

Author's Note: short chapter for you guys. Also it's super boring so I'm super sorry. The next one will pick up the pace I promise!

Question: what do you think will happen next?
