Chapter 2

Nicks P.O.V.

I got up at 6:20 am for the first day of school this year. I was going to be a junior. I was dreading going to school. I never really was a popular kid and didn't have very many friends.

I walked out to my mailbox and waited for the bus. Yes, I have my license but my parents nor could I afford a car so I still take the bus. The bus ride for me was only about 20 minutes because I was close to the school.

Once the bus got to school and let us off I went straight to my first class. My schedule was World History, English, Algebra 2, Spanish, then lunch, after lunch I had Sociology, Digital Editing, then Science. It wasn't that interesting. I didn't have my 2 friends in any classes. Which sucked, and I'm not that good at making friends, so that was out of the question.

Everything went smoothly and now it is science. I was one of the first kids to class, which wasn't unusual. Everyone started filling in the seats and nobody sat next to me. Again this wasn't unusual.

The bell was about to ring when one of the most popular girls came into class. There were only two empty seats left, one being next to me. She came over to the table I was sitting at and asked if she could sit next to me. I just nodded my head not looking at her. I was so surprised that she wanted to sit next to me. I was also afraid that I was going to majorly embarrass myself.

Later on in class we found out that out seat partners were now our lab partners for the rest of the year. I though Demi, the girl sitting next to me, was just going to ask the teacher if she could have a different partner, but she didnt. She asked me for my number so we could talk about projects and things like that. I gave her my number and she gave me hers. She kept trying to get a conversation going and I could tell she was frustrated with me not answering but I really didn't want to embarrass myself.

The bell finally rang to go home. I grabbed my stuff and ran out of the classroom. I didn't want Demi to keep asking me stuff. It was getting really awkward. I put the books that I got into my locker and went out to the busses. I got on my bus, number 23, and sat down. I got a seat to myself which I was thankful for. I'm so glad that today is over, but it's just a start to the rest of the year.

I got home about 40 minutes later. When I got home nobody was there. I live here with my mom and my older brother. I have another older brother but he was off at college and didn't come visit often. I could understand why.

I just grabbed a snack and went to my room and layed on my bed. I heard my phone go off in my pocket. I grabbed it out and looked at the screen. It was a text from Demi. I had already but her contact in my phone earlier on the bus. We had a little conversation and then she said she had to go. I said bye to her and turned off my phone. I didn't have any homework so I kinda just layed there and thought about all the things that happened.

It was about 10:30 pm and I was just about asleep when I heard the front door open and then close. I heard two voices, one being my moms and then another coming from a guy that I don't know. This happened regularly. I got up and locked my door and then got under my covers and tried to sleep. It was hard from the loud voices downstairs, but I finally managed.
