Jack's POV
"Wake up honey!"
I groan and I shift my body away from the sound of my mother screaming to get up.
"You're gonna be late to school!"
I continue to curse under my breath while I quickly get dressed. I stomp down the stairs and my mother is there, waiting for me.
"Hey mom," I kiss her cheek.
"Hey, sweetie. Do you want me to take you to school?" She asks.
"No, I'll walk. It's only a fifteen minute walk and I wanna get to know my surroundings, considering we're gonna be here for awhile."
I can't help but to let out some of my disapproval of moving. My mother softens her face while I feel guilty for telling her that.
"I didn't have a choice. Work wasn't paying enoug-"
"I know, I know. I'll see you later. Love you!" I interrupt her, not wanting to hear the pain behind her words.
My mother and I left our daily lives because my dad decided to go on a cruise for a year while my mother had to pay for everything. We didn't have the money to keep up our life so we moved two hours away and now we're here.
I walk to school, aware that I'm gonna be at least five minutes late. I push the doors open to the school and I walk to the office, to pick up my schedule.
"Hi, I'm a new student here."
The lady behind the desk looks kind of tired and she snaps at me, "You're late."
"I know. I'm sorry. I walked to school and got into a little thing. I won't be late anymore."
"Hmm."
She prints my papers and then I'm off, walking in the direction of my first class. I push open the door and everyone's eyes are on me. I turn to the teacher and he looks confused.
"I'm Jack. I'm a new student," I say.
"Oh, hi. Um, this is your English class. We're currently writing a paper. You can sit anywhere you'd like."
I quickly duck into a seat and it happens to be right in front of a guy who doesn't look so happy to see me.
"Wow. Can't wait to be the teacher's pet."
I turn around to see an attractive guy who seems to be fit, obviously annoyed at me.
"No, I just know how to talk to people, unlike you, you rude jerk."
I turn back around and I focus on writing my paper, which turns out to not be that hard. The end of the class comes faster than I first thought and I hold the door for everyone until the one guy comes out.
"Thanks for being a teacher's pet," He says.
I can't help but bite back, "You obviously don't know what that looks like."
He turns to me with anger, "Shut up."
I scoff at him, "Why don't you like me?"
He just shakes his head and pushes away from me. He stomps away and I shake the feeling of small sadness away and I walk towards my next class. I sit in there, bored out of my mind until the bell rings and then I head to the cafeteria.
