Emma...

I hope that when I die I go to heaven. Because I feel like hell would be a school. Most kids like school and I feel like I should too. I mean, it's better than staying at home with my mother. I could skip school and no one would notice me, I'm a nobody. The only reason I go to school is because of Kian..

We met the beginning of high school, we are now seniors. Kian just turned 18 in September and my birthday is in one week, Monday, October 18th.

Kian was the only one who ever noticed me. We began hanging out and even dated our sophomore year, but then decided to just be friends.

I walk out of the bus and walk towards the school. I see Kian get out of his car and jogs over to me.

"Em, you know that I can take you and Ging to school." Kian says smiling at me.

"Thanks Ki. I forgot, maybe tomorrow." I say back to him.

"What did your mom make you get today?" Kian asks me chuckling.

"How do you know?" I ask confused like he's been stalking me.

"You always dress like shit when your mom sends you to go do something." Kian says.

"Thanks, you fucker." I say smiling at him, "Actually I went to get milk and there was this asshole who thought I was fucking homeless. I swear to fucking God that if he didn't shut the fuck up I would have fucking beat him. I don't even know the fucker's name." I finish getting angry.

"Well, I know you would've been the shit out of this guy, but Emma you need to calm the fuck down." He says laughing at me. "And next time you go to the store find that piece of shit and fucking kill him!" Kian says laughing at me again.

"Or maybe this fucker will call the cops." Someone says behind Kian and I.

We both turn around and once I see his face I turn to look at Kian who is looking at me like I have 5 heads.

"I'm Jc." The guy from the cash register said putting out a hand. Neither of us shake his hand and he puts it away.

Kian pulls me aside real quick. "Emma, who is he?" I just shrug. "Emma just fucking tell me you turd." I shrug again. "EMMA LEE JONES, tell me." He says. He says my full name which means he's getting frustrated.

"The motherfucker from the fucking grocery store." I say crossing my arms.

Jc walks up to us and smiles.

"I remember you, you're the homeless girl. I just want believe that you can actually afford to go to school." He says smirking.

"Listen you motherfucker, you will not fucking say that stuff to me, you piece of shit. I don't usually do this but you're so fucking annoying. Why the fuck are you even here?" I say clenching my fists.

"Well, still feisty. But if you really care, I'm a new student, Miss Sassy. Also if it helps, you should stop saying cuss words. Anyways, how's that crazy as fuck alcoholic mother of yours? Maybe that's why you're dressed like that. You're either high or fucking drunk." He says. I look down at my shoes. That got me upset. I start to tear up, but I suck it up and start to run toward him. I'm just about to throw a punch when Kian pulls me away from him.

"Emma, calm down. I got this, now excuse me.." He says leaving me standing there while he walks up to Jc and throws a punch at Jc's jaw.

"You fucker." Jc mutters.

"KIAN ROBERT LAWLEY! STOP IT NOW!" I yell at him. Now I'm upset.

Kian walks over to me and just shakes his head.

"Sorry Em, he was making fun of your mom and I didn't want to see you hurt." He says holding his fist.

"Go to class." I say to him.

I walk over to Jc and see him holding his jaw.

"I'm sorry, it's just you were saying stuff this morning about her and I just didn't know you'd get hurt." He says not looking up at me.

I grab him chin and look at where Kian punched him. I sigh and just shake my head. I grab Jc's hand and walk in to the nurse's office. Before he enters the office, he turns and starts talking to me.

"I'm sorry again, I just tend to get out of control sometimes. I'm sorry, let me make it up to you. Movie night. You, me, and even Kian." He says chuckling and smiling.

I nod. "It's whatever. And sure. I'd like that." I smile, and he opens the door of the office and walks in half way. He then turns around again, but this time to kiss my cheek. He looks down and walks inside.

I shyly smile and walk to class.

After school I walk over to Kian's car and wait for him. I finally see him walking towards me. I smile at his head that's facing downward.

"Hey Ki. How was your day?" I say smiling.

"You're not mad?" He asks.

"I got over it. Jc is gonna make it up to us. Movie night." I say smiling.

"Cool, but I don't think I'll be attending." He says finally picking up his head to reveal his black eye.

"What the fuck happened?!?" I say suddenly getting sad and serious.

"Oh, this? Someone punched me." He says.

"K, well who?"

"You don't wanna know Em." Kian says.

"Just fucking tell me."

"Um, no." He says..

"It was me." Jc says walking towards me and putting his arm around my shoulders. I shake them off.

"What the fuck Jc? Just please get the fuck away from me. Kian just take me home, NOW." I say freaking out. Kian nods and I get into the car. We start driving.

"Ok, so what the fuck happened?" I ask.
