First Love

Chapter 1: "Jerk"

I woke up to the sound of music blaring into my ears. I most have fallen asleep with my headphones on, again. I grab my usual clothing. I put on my white tank top with solid green military pants paired with my brown combat boots.

Lazily, I take my messenger bag and head to the family dining room to get tripped by a black fur ball.

"Damn it, Bear. Good morning to you too!"

"Mia Elizabeth Rose watch your mouth!!And sit down and eat your breakfast before it gets cold. "

"Uhhhh!!!"

Walking to the table I couldn't expect much less, pancakes in the shape of school buses.

"Mom? Could you be any less cool."

At the end of the table my 6 year old little sister, Ana, was playing with her food. She has this habit when she wants to ask a question.

"What is it, Ana?"

"Mom? Where's Dad?"

Silence filled the room. Sweat poured out of my palms. Mom stopped cooking and froze in place. Of course it's up to me to say something. To lie.

"Dad's off on a road trip for work you know that. Right mom."

" Umm... get ready both of you or you'll be late."

Sophomore year in high school should be easy for everyone, but me. All I try to do is stay out of everyones hair and everything should go fine.

Walking through the hallways I spot old friends of mine that I want to avoid. All I want is a fresh start at school by becoming invisible.

"Mia!!! Wait!!"

"Shit." I say under my breathe as I speed walk to my locker.

"What the hell? I've texted all summer and you leave me on read. I thought you died."

"Well, I'm alive Bria and in the flesh. Now, if you may I'm off to class. "

As I grab my biology book and slam the locker I could feel Bria's stare. This year wouldn't get any easier.

*Bell Rings 8:20am*

"Ok class. The name is Mr.William. I would be your new Chemistry 1 teacher. Today we will start with........."

I didn't want to hear what he had to say. Every teacher starts with the same thing. Whats your name? How was everyones summer? All I do is take my regular seat at the back of the room and plug in my headphones to hear my classical white music.

*15 minutes later*

"Mia!!" *hard slam on my desk*

"Fuck."I say under my breathe. I take my headphone out and open my eyes to see my bald 70 year old teacher on my face. "Yes?"

"We are making new seat arrangements and you would be at the front of the class!!"

"Say what now?? I feel more comfortable right where I'm at."

Instead of seeing everyone back. I see students faces stare right at me. I hate attention.

"Fine."

I grab all of my books I don't use and move up to front row of the class. As I walk I felt my face hit the cold ground. I knew this would happen.

"Welcome back Mia! Ohhhh and where's your father? I heard he left for another man."

*Class starts laughing*

I grab all my books that have fallen and speed walk to my seat. No one really knows what happened with my father. BTW that was Pit. My worst enemy. She is like the pit of hell. Ever since 7th grade Pit has bullied me. Up to today I still don't know why.

"Stop it Pit or your going to the office. Back to what I was saying. I have arrange everyone to sit next to someone you never met before. For today classwork assignment you will have to interview your partner and turn in a report. If you don't finish today you will have to do it for homework."

I look to my side to see a boy dressed in a red tank and black shorts. The room fills with chatter and questions while we are in weird silence.

"Ok..I'll just start. My name is Mia Elizabeth Rose. Whats yours?"

"............"

"Listen I don't want homework so could you start talking about yourself!"

"............"

"Ok then I'll just write what I see."

I start making a list for what he is.

1.A self-centered bastard

2.A moron

3. Jerk

" So you think I'm a self-centered bastard."

"The truth hurts doesn't it. " He stares at me with his beautiful blue eyes. Did I just say he was beautiful, no way. "Umm could we start?"

"The names Brad. I moved here from California."

"Ok that's a start. What else?"

"......."

"Listen I don't want to spend my after school time with some jerk."

"Seems like you have to."

*Bell rings 10:05am*

"Ok..everyone pull in their chairs and turn in your report if your finish. If not I expect one of you tomorrow."

"Can I talk to you Mr.William?"

"If its to change your partner Ms.Mia the answer is no. "

"Why not! In 1 hour I've gotten nothing out if him!"

"Well now you have plans after school."

"Damn it. After school with some jerk."

Running to go to my 2nd period class. Someone stops me in my track.

"What, Brad?"

"I need your number so we could finish our report."

"Fine. Here."

"See you later, Sugar!"

"Don't call me that!!" I speed walk to my 2nd period class. I realize that sophomore year isn't going to be easy.
