Tenebrous // Chapter 1

Don't you ever tell me that somebody isn't important. All of us are amazing, intelligent, human beings. We don't realize it now but we each help society and people in amazing ways. Just a simple "hello" can brighten someone's day. Or possibly their life.

"Hailey! You're gonna be late!" I heard my mom shouting.

I'm late every morning, what's the point of even trying to get me to school on time.

Let's get something straight first, I hate school. I tolerate it, but I hate it. I don't get terrible marks, and I have friends. I'm not extremely popular but people know me. Sometimes for bad stuff, sometimes for good. I've done a lot of bad shit in my life which has given me a bit of a reputation but I like it. People know not to fuck with me.

I have my best friend, Andrea. She's been my best friend ever since grade 3 which is pretty great. She has a boyfriend named Steven, they've been together for 3 years. Anyways, onto me again. I'm 16, in grade 11. It's me, my mom, and little sister. My dad left. My mom has been seeing a guy for a little bit now so I'll see what happens there. I just want her to be happy. I was diagnosed with depression at age 13. I'm getting better every day. Everything's ok I'm just... So lonely. All the time. And I know it's typical to want a boyfriend I guess but I really, really want someone to be there for me. To be able to hold me while I cry, see me when I'm happy, kiss my sadness away. I don't know, I guess ill just have to wait. I get up and push my hair up in a ponytail. I get jeans off my floor and put them on, followed with a tank top and a flannel. I put a bit of makeup on and grab my phone and socks. As I head down the stairs I remember my principal mentioning the four new students we'll be having today. I guess they were famous, so we were all told not to make a big deal about it. I mean, if people really like the band their in it's obvious the girls in the school will lose their chill. Nothing you can do about fangirls. Bands these days are overrated anyways. Nirvana, ramones, guns and roses, and Metallica are the way to go. Anyways let's get on with this day. I sit at the counter as I put my socks on.

" need a ride?" My mom asked.

" yeah sure." I replied grabbing my shoes.

" Kacey hurry up!" My mom yelled up the stairs to my sister.

Oh yeah, my sisters 7. I don't know what else to say about her. She's a brat sometimes, but I love her.

I threw all my books from off the couch into my backpack and headed out into the car.
