everything i wanted

chapter one

•junior year

•11:45 pm

i lay in bed looking at everyone's snap stories while the office plays on my laptop. i try not to listen to the yelling going on downstairs but it's to much so i turn my volume all the way up to drown it out. i hear the door slam and roll my eyes. typical dad. things get too hard for him and he leaves. he'll never learn.

i'm about to go to sleep when i here a knock at my door. already knowing who it is, i prepare myself for the talk we have almost every night.

"come in mom" i say sweetly

she walks in, quickly sitting on the edge of my bed.

"hey pumpkin" she says with a shaking voice. she looks up and has a good bruise forming on her cheek.

"mom leave the asshole!" i say as she should've already done it. this is the third time he's hit her and she still loves him.

"cameo we are just going through a rough patch again, it's okay! i just wanted to see if you were still up. please have a good rest since the first day of high school is tomorrow" she says with teary eyes and kisses my forehead

i sigh as she walks out and roll to my side, doing my best to forget everything and go to sleep.

7:00 am

i wake up to the loud alarm i set for school. i lay in bed for 10 more minutes before i get up and start getting ready. holy shit, i'm a nervous wreck. after eighth grade ended i moved schools for personal reasons and at the end of my sophomore year last year i decided i want to go back to my old school. i haven't seen these kids in two years. i only have one friend. this school year is gonna be interesting.

i finish getting ready and check my phone. 7:45, school starts at 8:10. i grab my keys and walk downstairs. no one was home so i turned on my music while making me a bowl of cereal.  

after eating my cereal and jamming to the weeknd i make my way to the school.

turning the key in my car i just sit there, at 8:02, trying to calm my nerves. you'll be fine i keep telling myself... oh my gosh what if the same thing happens again. i mean it's been a while, what's the worst that could happen?

i walk into the school and go to the office to get my schedule and locker number. once i come out i'm immediately engulfed with a hug

"bitch it's been a while" i instantly know who it is and hug tighter.

"laura i saw you last weekend!" i say laughing a little.

"yeah and a whole week is to long" laura says while taking my schedule and looking at it. she takes my arm and walks me to my locker.

"wow, everyone looks the same just kind of older" i say looking at everyone. to my surprise no one has even noticed me.

"everyone has gotten a lot bitchier though" she says looking at her phone. i'm fixing to close my locker and walk with laura to history when i feel a strong gaze on me. i look around and stop dead in my tracks when my eyes meet the ones already looking at me.

it was kami walker.
