Leave me alone

why is this happening to me?

(promise POV)

mom:  promise come here

promise: yes mom

mom: why didn't you do these

dishes like I said

promise: I'm sorry I-

mom: I don't want to hear your bull shit now get your ass over here!

promise: no mom. nooo!

( wakes up)

oh it was just a dream but it felt so real. I was so scared why must my mom hate me so much she says she loves me then why come home late drink and and give me a black eye.

my name is promise I'm 18 in my last year of high school. I live with my mom my dad died when I was three years old. it's been me and my mom sense then. she started drinking 7 years ago and she comes home late and beat me. I love my mom so l don't fight back.

I looked at my phone and it is 5:29 so I get out of my bed to get ready for school. I have to be there by 7:00 so I got a little time. I get in the shower and let the hot water hit my bruised back from when my mom pushed me against the dresser last night and finished washing up.  Got dressed I don't take all day getting dressed like other girls. I look at the clock and see that if I don't start walking to the bus I will miss my it. I get  a apple and start walking to the bus.

I got on the bus and sit all the way in the back and just look out the window until I fell asleep.

Rite: the bus driver: wake up wake up, you're at school.

Promise: thanks.

Rite: your welcome.

I walked in school and the first person I see is Katie

Katie: hey

promise:  (waves)

Katie is a girl in my grade who tries to talk to me but how do I know she's not going to betray me like everyone else.

I have seven classes a day but my favorite one is art the last hour of the day and math, first hour. Art is a choice  class. I'm the only one that go to that class and I don't care I get quite time to think.

It's the middle of 1st hour and a sexy caramel tall boy I've never seen comes in the class room.

Ms. Rose: May I help you?

caramel boy: yes I am new in this scholl they say I am supposed to be here.

Ms. Rose: Nigel Brown

Nigel: yes

Ms. Rose: yes you are. go sit next to .............promise in the back row.

my heart just dropped to my stomach because I am the only one who sit in the back that's why I sit in the back. and that's for a reason.

Nigel sit in the set right next to me on my left side.

Nigel: hi my name is Nigel but of course you already know that because the teacher just said it.

promise:... (looked the opposite way)

Nigel: ... hello

promise: ............

Nigel: are you ignoring me.

I start to get annoyed so I turn around and looked him straight in the eye to till him to shut up but I find my self speechless when I look in his dark violet purple eyes. they are so beautiful.......wait. promise what are you do snap out of it!!

promise: c-can you leave me alone?

Nigel: oh.. I thought we could be come friends.

promise: no thanks.

Nigel: why?

promise: I don't want to, now can you stop talking to me

(skip to the last hour)

I love art you get to escape reality and draw anything you want. the teacher let's me listen to to my music if I have headphones.

art teacher ms. Davis: promise

promise: .....( listening to music)

ms. Davis: promise!!

promise: yes

ms. Davis: I'm leaving the class room for a little don't leave the room okay.

promise: okay

 

after Ms. Davis left I put my headphones back in my ears. then my favorite song came on All Of Me by John Legend and I start singing it.

(Nigel POV)

my first day at school was great. I'm friend with all the boys in my class and it was this one boy named J he is the coolest person here so far and we are going out to hang this weekend . the only part I didn't like was that the girls just wouldn't leave me alone. I think this one girl named Beth tried to get the d*ck on the low tho. this one girl I tried to talk to all day just cap on ignoring me she just refused to talk to me why. l just don't understand I mean look at me who would not want to talk to this. anyways I'm on my way to art I found out that you don't have to take it and go home early but I like art so I stayed and the building empty. I think some of the teacher have went home already. I'm almost there and I start to hear someone singing and start walking faster to see who was singing she sounds amazing. then I find out its coming out of the art room. I waited a little listening to what sounds like All Of Me and when she was done I then opened the door to to see who it was. PROMISE!!!!!!! I didn't see that coming she is always quite but wow who would have thought promise had such a powerful wonderful voice. when she realized the door was open she turned around slowly and when she saw me it looked like she was about to die.

Nigel: promise.......wow ...just wow

promise: what are you doing here? this is art were no one comes to !

Nigel: you're here

promise: .......

Nigel: you have a wonderful voice.

promise: w-w-what ?

Nigel: promise ...you have an amazing voice.

All of a sudden promise puts her hands over her ears and turned to  the opposite direction.

Nigel: promise are you okay

promise:...........

Nigel:......promise

She is ignoring me again i hate it when she ignores me so I walked up to her in turn her to face me

Nigel: promise.

her face was bright red she looked...... cute. the teacher came in the door and looked straight at us.

promise: I got to go!!

and with that she was gone.

ms. Davis: what happened?

Nigel: I would love to join art if that's okay with you.

ms. Davis: OK?

Nigel: see you tomorrow

this is going to be interesting.

(promise POV)
