Hope for life

New Boy

Angels pov
I wake up to my alarm blaring, great another day of school. I groan as I get up and turn off my alarm, heading to the bathroom. I decide to go to school on time for once, pulling on all of my bracelets to cover my scared arms. As I finish getting ready I noticed I had a message from my only friend Ali.

Ali- I'm walking with you to school be there in five minutes.

I sigh looking at the time, she should be here any minute. I grab my bag and slide on my black converses heading out the door just in time, as Ali walks up the driveway. She gives me a big smile and holds out a box. Giving her a confused look I take the box and open it taking out a water bottle. A smirk twitches at my lips, "vodka, you didn't." Ali starts laughing, "I knew you could use it today and I just happened to have a bottle, so instead of standing around open that sucker and let's drink it on the way to school." I smile and nod my head, damn she knows me to well.

As we walk up to the school I take the last sip of vodka and Ali smiles at me like an idiot. Ali suddenly looks away taking notice as a boy our age as he hops out of a car slamming the door. Taking notice Ali elbows me in the side winking, "looks like there's a new student, and by the look of him he's a cutie and looks like your type." I study the boy, he's wearing black jeans and a Of Mice & Men shirt, with his black hair in his face. I give Ali a small chuckle, "let's get to class."

As we're turning the corner heading to class, I run into someone tripping, as I fall to the ground where my stuff and the person I ran into stuff on the ground beside me. I quickly jump up grabbing my stuff when a boy bends down to grab his stuff and help me gather mine. I look up to see the boy from this morning handing me a folder nervously. As his shaky hand holds out my folder he apologizes, "sorry, I didn't see you." As I take my folder I reassure him that it's okay, "it happens to everyone, the names Angel." He gives me a smirking smile, "I'm Kaiden, everyone calls me Kye."
"It's nice to meet you Kye," just then the bell rang, "shit, I'm sorry Kye but I gotta go. See ya around." As I run to class I remember Ali is still with me. I turn around to see her smiling and giving me the, awe that was cute, look. I roll my eyes as I slip into class without the teacher noticing.

After first hour was over, me and Ali head to our separate classes. Ali screams down the hall making me jump, "SEE YOU AT LUNCH ANGEL!" I slowly shake my head, "bye Ali!" I walk thru the science doors taking my seat in the back of the room. As the room fills with students a familiar face walk in. Eyes to the ground Kye takes a seat in the back of the room a few seats away. He doesn't seem like the same person that I talked to this morning. He sits there almost in a ball eyes kept to the ground. I quickly snap out of it when the science teacher walks in, "hello class we will be watching a video today, please take notes." As the video starts I soon realized that the video was on how a cars body reacts when in a accident. I managed to make it through half the video, but walked out when clips of car accidents started to play. I quickly grab my notebook trying not to make eye contact with anyone, afraid of bursting into tears. After I reach the end of the hall, I quickly turn to the nearest locker, punching it with full force. I collapse to the ground and pull my knees to my chest, holding my tears back.

It's been almost a year since my best friend died in a car accident and to this day it's a touchy subject for me. I sit there for a good 20 minutes, the bell suddenly rings. I jump up and walks towards my next class, pulling my sanity back together. I quietly whisper to myself, "one more class then it's lunch. Thank god."
