The Road To Happiness

Chapter One

Beep Beep Beep

I reached for my alarm clock as fast as I could to turn it off. I didn't want to wake up my mom and her husband.

My first day of senior high. It was all my dad used to plan with me for. He used to help me study and made sure I went to sleep early , so I could be ready for a fun , educational day at school.

School used to be fun. Back when I had my best friend still. Her name is Ashley. Ashley and I did everything together. Shop together, go to school together and talk about boys together.

It's not my fault we are not friends anymore. It's her fault she decided to become a slut and sleep with my boy friend. It was right after my dad's funeral too. Am I wrong for just wanting my boy friend to comfort me? I just wanted to go to my boyfriends house and cry on his shoulder and have him help me stop thinking that my dads funeral ,is that really my fault?But no, I went home and saw him having sex with my best friend.

That all happened around past June. All of my friends turned on me and went to Ashley's side. They said I was fat and ugly. And they all didn't hesitate to throw my dads death in my face. And you know what, I let them. I let them call me names, I let them make fun of my weight, I let them do all these terrible things because I deserved it. I am the reason why my father isn't here with me today.

I hate myself more and more everyday. As I got up , I began planning on what I wanted to wear. I went up to my closet and picked out a navy blue high-low dress with lace on the bottom and on the top. And my black combat boots. I hopped in the shower and quickly washed myself. When I came out, I put my robe on and started with my make-up.

I wanted to have a natural look, so I just put on a little bit of concealer under my eyes because it has been a little red from me crying myself to cry myself to sleep last night. After that I curled my hair into lose curls to make it look wavy. After that I put my cloths on and looked at my outfit and I loved it. The thirty pounds I lost really made my curves come out and made me have a boost of confidence. My blue eyes popped out and my blonde hair was done to perfection.

My mom was still sleeping, so I started to walk. It was only a few blocks. When I got there I felt a lot of eyes on me. This isn't the first time. Everyone hates me at school. After the whole Ashley thing, everyone turned on me. Ashley quickly became the popular girl and had my ex-boyfriend right by her side. Just the sight of them made me run away with my eyes filled with tears. I went to the bathroom and quickly went inside the first open stall I saw. I say the lid of the toilet up and puked up my dinner from last night.

I felt terrible. I felt unwanted. Couldn't I just have been shown some affection? Couldn't I have at least one friend? I know just what I needed. But I made a promise to myself to not do it anymore.

I came outside the bathroom and washed my face in the sink. And put a price of minty gum inside my mouth. I fixed my makeup and went on with my day. I would not let that slut ruin my day.

As I walked to first period, I saw the bad boys in the corner. They were picking on these freshmans. They were also smoking. I bet your wondering why they didn't get into trouble for it. The lead of their group, Harry Styles was the son of Principal Ikner. They got to get away with a lot of stuff. As I was turning my head to walk away, I made eye contact with Harry. He had a look of intensity inside his eyes and I felt as though he could look past my eyes and into my soul.

A blush started to creep to my cheeks. Harry just smirked and looked away and started a conversation with his friends. I quickly walked to my class when I heard the bell. First period I mad Mr. Mark for Calculus. Doing math early in the morning should be illegal. I walked into class and sat in the back. I was relieved that I could sit by myself instead of the people that would just bully me. Oh and did I mention that Ashley and Jake are in this class. Just as I put my head down, I heard the door open. In came in The Harry Styles. Shit.

He heard me, and came an. Sat right next to me. He put his bag down and started staring at me. I was wondering what he wanted , so I looked back at him.

"I'm sorry, do you need something?"

"Yes, I have a question, why are you so beautiful?"

A blush was starting again. I looked into his eyes and it was the brightest shade of green I have ever seen before in my life. I felt like I was hypnotized.

All of a sudden I heard laughter. It was coming from Harry?

" I can't believe you fell for that."

My heart started hurting. Here I was thinking for the first time, someone saw past the rumors, past what every one thought of me. Whatever. I just looked forward and ignored him. Ughh. This is gonna be a long day.
