Senior year, no friends, no boyfriend, and no drive to be here anymore. I guess my life lost meaning when my dad passed away. Since then it's been my mom, me, and 3 older brothers living in a little run down house. My mom (Lyndy Knight) works 3 jobs to keep the bills from over coming us. The only down side is we never see her.
So I guess its either see her all the time and be hungry/homeless or her work some fucked up hours and never see her. It's clear what she chose.
My eldest brother (22) Evan a 2nd year college kid or whatever, works but his money goes to schooling. Malcom (21) a year younger the Evan doesn't go to college but helps pay bills. I know he hates it though he's always wanted to travel and leave this small, gloomy, piece of shit town.
I can't blame him I guess its what I strive for too. Thats why i've made sure to stay on top in all of my classes its my first class ticket out of here. Then there's Luca he's just one year older then me 19 and he dropped out of school 2 years ago. He's been in and out of juvie and jail since.
And me? Well, my name is Ivy Knight the only girl my parents managed to have, and they botched up my life with a name like Ivy. Thanks mom and dad for setting me up to be a laughing stock forever. 18 years of age with a part time job of my own at a Game Stop so that I don't have to ask for anything from mom or Malcom. I mean the pay is shit I only make 500$ every two weeks but i'm good at conserving most of it.
My dads name was Everest after Mount Everest because thats where grandma and grandpa met and fell in love. He was a journalist for the towns paper, front cover piece. I have every piece I could find from him in a scrapbook. Fires to murders I saved them all they make me miss him just a little less. He died in a pile up car crash due to internal bleeding.
That was two years ago. The first year of his death mom didn't work or come out of their room for anyone or anything. Bills started piling up and we were on the verge of eviction, then one day she left the house said she found a job and has buried herself in it since.
And now? Im sitting in class listening to headphones waiting for all the other students to pile in. I'm always early, its so that I can get the back of the room seat. The faaar back seat. I had read somewhere that the most successful students sit in the front I guess they were wrong. No one I go to school with is close to having a 4.0 gpa like mine.
The bell rings and a few other kids shuffle in, then second bell and third and now class is full with all the immature 17-18 year old assholes that are considered my class mates. As everyone settles in our math teacher jesters to take my headphones out causing everyone to stare.
Great just what I needed, but something weird happens instead of their eyes landing on me they land behind me. What could they possibly be looking at? Turning my body I see why everyone is staring.
A new kid a hot new kid. We don't get very many of those. We live in a very, very, very small town off of Yachats, Oregon called Silver Falls. Don't bother checking for it I doubt its on the map thats how small it is. Everyone here knows everyone and when someone moves here they tend to move away just as quick.
"Nice of you to join us. Please introduce yourself to the class since you're late" The new kid shifts on his feet and and shrugs. Let me just add he's a freaking giant. Well mostly everyone is since Im only 5'2. "Um alright, my names Maddox Silver and I just moved back here from California."
Who in their right mind would come back to this gloomy town i'll take Cali over Silver Falls any day.
"Thank you Maddox find a seat. Lest get started open your Geometry books to chapter 9." God damn I know for a fact the only seat available is the one right next to mine. Or there is the one at the very front of the room right next to the teachers desk. Thats the reason it's still open.
Maddox sits nexts to me and even sitting he towers over me making me feel so tiny like a little bitty mouse. I hate that feeling the feeling of being small. We don't talk or look at each other or well he doesn't look at me but I stole a few glances by side eyeing him.
First period ends but not without being released with a weeks worth of homework due tomorrow. I'll just do it at lunch like usual. Second period bell rings through the halls and everyone scrambles to class. I don't have a class second period instead I work in the office. I help take the stuff the teachers print off to them so they don't have to leave their rooms unattended.
I only have the freedom of no second period class because Im the only 4.0 student in the entire school. As I walk to the office I feel a presence behind me. Turning around I don't see anything or anyone and continue on my way. Second, and third fly by and now lunch time.
