Being someone I'm not

Chptr 1: The Beginning

Okay well let's start from the beginning. I'm Indiana Mays well known as the "hot" girl or whatever. I don't see it at all and personally I hate it with a passion. I'm 16 years old and will be 17 in August.

Being popular really kinda sucks. People expect you to be perfect and to be completely honest I'm far from it.

My mom has got to be the worst. She hasn't grown up from high school and has been living her life like she was still in it. So obviously she wants me to be just like her. I just don't feel like I belong in the body I have.

"Indianaaaaa!! Get your booty out of bed! Time for school" my wonderful mother screamed from the kitchen. (Note the sarcasm). "But mommmm do I have to gooo?" I questioned in the most whiny voice possible. "Yes dear now get ready otherwise you'll be late." She said walking up the stairs.

I literally had to pry my covers off and force myself to get up. I looked in the mirror and said to myself 'You are gonna have a great day' even though I knew I'd be living a day of torture. I soon hopped in the shower for a quick rinse put on my subtle but deadly makeup look as I call it. I walked to my large closet and searched for an outfit. I finally picked a peach top with white skinny jeans and a pair of grey toms. My tan skin really finished the look. I looked at my blonde curls that fell just below my shoulder and blue eyes and sighed 'I'm so basic'.

I ran downstairs and kissed my mom goodbye on the cheek and went to my new blue Jaguar and started it. God I love that car.

I shortly arrive to school after about a 10 minute drive. I was greeted by my poesy an my best friend Liv.
"Hey girrrllllfriend! your looking on point as usual" Liv said in her annoying voice. "Thanks Liv" I said half heartily.
We started to walk to our first class English. Ughh! how I hated that class so much but I was the teachers pet so I didn't really mind. I found my seat in the back of the class room next to my boyfriend Chriss. Oops forgot to mention him. So long story short we are basically together because he's popular and I'm popular. Don't get me wrong he's hot with brown hair and to die for brown eyes standing at about 6 feet. He pecked me on the cheek and said winking "Hey hottie". I mentally threw up and forced a smile "hi" was all I said. Mr. Smith was our teacher and he had started babbling on and on about something stupid. That's when my phone rang. "Hello Ms. Mays?" She said but sounded more like a question. "Umm yes this is her" I replied back. "I have some news that is very upsetting so if I were you, I'd excuse myself from class" the lady said with concern. I excused myself from English and walked down the hallway.
"
"What is it that you need to tell me?" I asked scared of the news she will give me.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but your mother was in a crash and was killed" she said with ease and trying to keep her cool. I hung up and ran out of the school screaming and bawling. I screamed "this isn't fair!!".

Why is it that one moment your life can be wonderful, but then turn around? I can't believe it. I'm in shock. I have no mom. No nothing.

I walked home not even caring about my car and was practically crying the whole way home. Right now I just need time to think and calm myself down.

I woke up on my couch with the feeling of tears all over my face. I started thinking to myself what will happen now? I have no one that I really can turn to.. Wait.. I mean my dad but no way he'd care about me.
