She was there.

Standing in front of me, not saying a word.

"Jenny" I called. She didn't answer. She just kept staring into my soul with those green eyes that I adore and miss so much. She lifted her arm and pointed at something behind me.

That's when the car came swerving down the road. I quickly ducked out of the way, but Jenny just stood there.

"JENNY" I screamed and repeated over and over again but she made no sign to move.

Right when the car was about to reach her, I woke up screaming.

My blankets were scattered on the floor, my hair was sticking to my face due to my forehead being drenched with sweat, and I was breathing heavily. It's just another nightmare, I tell myself out of comfort. It's not though my subconscious reminds me.

Despite it only being 6:30 am, I decided to get everything ready for my first day at school. The thought itself made my stomach queasy and my anxiety peak through the roof. Westville Ridge. The school for all the preppy, rich kids in town. I am anything but that, however, my mother happens to believe that if I go to an exceptional school it will somehow make me feel better. Deep down inside I know this is for her. Anything she ever does is for her own good. She wanted to move here because of her new boyfriend and she wanted to make a good impression.

I turn on the shower to warm it up and begin undressing. Looking at myself in the mirror I see the horrendous bags under my dull eyes. and hair what looked to resemble a lion. I stepped in the shower trying to get rid of the fear the nightmare left behind. When I get out, I think about wearing a dress for the first day. Nah. Reaching for my favourite pair of light blue ripped jeans, and a grey hoodie. This will have to do. After quickly brushing my teeth, I make my way downstairs with a dreading feeling stinking in my stomach.

I attempted to quickly but quietly make my way towards the door but a rough voice behind me stopped me from going further.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?"

I turned around and was face to face with Jerald, my mom's new boyfriend.

"Not that it is any of your business, but I'm going to school" I attempt to leave again but Jerald yanks my wrist turning me around to face him again.

"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT" I heard the smack before I felt it. I would cry from the pain but I am used to it by now. I only felt Numbness. Numb from life, numb from the past, numb from the nightmares, just numb.

"I'm sorry" I mumble and turn to leave again, this time I wasn't stopped by Jerald

I get in my car, and start to drive towards the school.

Hopefully It's better than my old school and I can start over fresh. Unfortunately Karma's a little bitch.

Arghhh! I am late on my first day of school all because of a stupid fucking traffic jam.

Just the look of the school from outside reminded me of one of those over the top schools in a classic teen film. Fuck! That reminded me, I forgot to record the rerun of One Tree Hill. I quickly barged through the doors, my mood even worse than before due to my love being taken away from me. Some might say I'm dramatic but this show is everything to me.

I walk into the main office, offering the secretary a small smile out of respect. I tell her my name and she hands me my schedule, glancing at it, I found that I hate every single subject except lunch. Okay, AP Biology in room 313. Easy.
