"Brooke! Hurry up!" My mother shouts from down stairs as I pick out my out fit for school. Damn, she's always in a rush.

"OKAY MOM! HOLD ON!" I shout to her. I roll my eyes to myself as I grab an outfit out of my closet, and put it on. I had a white and black stripped crop top, black jeans with rips on the knees, a red flannel, and black and white high top converse.

I wasn't exactly okay with the outfit, but went with it anyways. I grab my school bag, and looked myself over one more time before walking out of my room and down the stairs.

"Why do you have to take me? Can't I take myself?" I ask walking into the kitchen, grabbing a banana.

"You know I take you every year on the first day." She reminds me, drinking the last bit of her coffee before putting the mug in the sink. She grabs her car keys and I groan as she drags me to the garage.

I don't understand why she want's to go so early. I mean, I know she's just an early person, but getting to school early is not something I liked doing.

Mom has been an early person since she was late to an interview a few years back. She always, and I mean always retells me the story when I'm ever let to something whether that be to school, a family dinner, and appointment. I mean EVERYTHING.

I lay my head on the window as we drive through town to school. I didn't even want to go to school. I hated socializing with all my judgmental peers, I had maybe only four friends, and two that I could actually tell everything too.

The teachers were such assholes. and sometimes I wondered why. You would think they would cut you some slack every once an a while when you needed to use the bathroom or something. Either they are old and cranky, young and strict, or in between and sweethearts, and barely did you ever get one of those teachers.

I bet online or homeschool was a lot more simple. Maybe a little more complicated, but beats seeing everyone I despise.

I hadn't even been paying attention to where we were going until we pulled into a parking lot that was not school, but Starbucks. I now see why she wanted to leave early. Maybe this will make my day a little bit better.

I get out of the car and follow my mom inside the building, the coffee bean smell instantly hitting me. It smelled like heaven.

We walk up to the counter, and my mom got me my favorite. White Peppermint Mocha. When we received our drinks, we sat inside for a little bit, not saying much. Which left me to think more about how my day may go.

We decided to head in the direction of my school, and my stomach churned at the thought. School was my least favorite thing, and all I wanted was to lay in bed all day watching Netflix, like I do any other day.

We pull up to the school, and my face literally frowns on it's own, not by force.

"Have a nice day, Brooke. Remember to be nice, and the day will go well. Love you, B!" My mother says as I get out. I roll my eyes, obviously she didn't get the hint as she blew me a kiss before driving away.

I walk into the building, doing the same thing I have done since freshmen year, and going straight to my first period.

On my way there, I passed one of my good friends, Emercyn. She grabs my arm pulling me aside and grabs my schedule.

I watch as her eyes scan through, going wide here and there. "Fuck, yes!" She whispers handing it back with a smile, making me raise an eyebrow before laughing.

"What are you so happy about?" I ask.

"We have english together, and the new teacher, Mr. Styles. I heard he was young, and handsome." She says making googley eyes at me. I only shake my head laughing at her weirdness.

"What hour?"

"Fifth." She smiles before giving me a hug and excusing herself to class. I wave at her making my way to History, and I only pray the teacher is somewhat nice, my classmates are somewhat not annoying, and I know at least one person.
