Wonder

Maybe?

Chapter 5

Waking up in the morning I could feel the slight ache of my cheek. I gingerly touch the skin and feel the warmth of the surfaced blood.

Getting out of bed I realize that I have woken up an hour before everyone gets up I quickly get into a pair of skinny jeans and a plain t-shirt and rush into the bathroom and put on some concealer to cover up the ugly bruise on my cheek.

Putting the makeup in my bag I put on a pair of boots and grab a granola bar and pick up my keys and open up the door just when I hear someone coming down the stairs.

I slam it behind me and hop into my car and turn on the engine. The hum of my car as it comes to life.

I roll down the drive just as I see the front door open and out pops my dads head with a confused look on his face.

I speed off and go to the nearest coffee shop and order a extra strong coffee with a donut on the side.

I found money in the pocket in my backpack.

I sit down at one of the crappy looking booths and lean my head against the window watching the cars speed by.

Life was dull and boring if only I was not born with this family or maybe not born at all.

I take small sips of my coffee and slowly finish my donut.

The snow still falls from the sky, casting a white blanket over the small town of wonder.

I look over at the clock and decide I should probably start to drive to school. I did not want to be late.

Leaving the small coffee shop I open up the door to my old beetle and sit down on the slightly ripped leather seat. I plunge the key into the hole and turn on the engine with a loud roar it comes to life.

Making the short journey to Wonder high school I look around at all the ice covered homes lining the streets and there snow covered lawns.

Christmas is right around the corner, a time where my family has loads of fun without me.

I pull up I to school parking lot a little earlier then usual but not by much. Stepping out of the beetle I hear the usual whispers fill my ears and fill my thoughts.

Slowly dragging my heavy feet up to the front I can hear them, every word said.

What happened to her face?

She probably deserved it!

Ew can she leave.

Maybe if we ignore her she will just go away.

I look around at all the my school mates most of them I have know for all my life. They have always treated me different. I was just always different.

There faces scrunched up in disgust and some filled of sadness. No one would come and help the defective kid.

I let out a bitter laugh.

"Fun right. Don't have anything better to do." I laugh then I chuckle. "Pick on the me. Right!"

I look around at there stunned faces. Screw them all.

I open the front door to the small little high school in Wonder. Picking up my textbooks

I slip into my first period class that's almost empty and sit, the wall facing my bruised cheek.

Dropping my books on the table I lean my head on the cool surface of the cream painted wall.

Maybe it was the way my brown hair just was not the right shade or maybe my eyes just were not the right color blue.
