"You may now choose your partners."
I hate that sentence with a burning passion. No one wants to be partners with the girl in the back off the class, wearing black everything, headphones shoved in blasting 'devil' music, who never says a word to anyone. Well good because I don't want them to!
"New?" I looked up and saw a boy with lip piercings and scene hair.
My type of person. "Why don't you go sit next to Taylor." My teacher said to him. He walked over and plopped down next to me.
"I'm guessing you are Taylor." He smiled as I nodded slowly. "Hi. I'm Johnnie." I looked at him and looked back down to my work. "So what are we doing?" "Group work." I said, with no emotion. "Cool cool."
"So... Nice shirt." I looked down to my shirt and saw I was wearing a 'My Chemical Romance The Black Parade' shirt. "We share the same music taste then?" He asked and smiled. I looked down at my 'Three Sweet Cheers For Revenge' shirt.
"Guess so." I breathed out.
"So...." He said awkwardly. Just then the bell rang.
I stood up, put all my things in my backpack and walked out of the room to lunch.
I heard footsteps behind me and I whipped around to see the peraistant boy following me.
I rolled my eyes and continued walking to cafeteria. "Who are you?" I heard behind me and footsteps stop. "I'm Johnnie. I'm new here."
"Well what is hot guy like you following Taylor around?" Jodi asked. "She seems cool and she's the only person I know right now."
"Well you don't want to hang out with her. Doing that is like....social suicide. By the way I love your shirt! I have a Danger Days one at home!" I heard her laugh.
I absolutely despise Jodi. We used to be friends, along withy other friend Alexandra, Alex for short.
We were all inseparable. But then Jodi started changing drastically. So Alex and I decides it'd be beat if we ditched her. Jodi made other friends and together they became the 'popular emos'. Alex and I really didn't care, we had other friends. Then one day, Alex told me she was moving to the United Kingdom and that's when my world started collapsing.
The day Alex left, the bullying began. Hateful words were constantly thrown at me. Not to mention beatings from both kids at school and my mother. So I began to self harm. I swore to Alex that I would never, but I guess all promises were made to be broken.
"Oopps!" I heard. I was pulled out of my thoughts and saw a basketball hurdling towards me. I quickly blocked it and to saw the look on Jodi's face was PRICELESS.
I smirked at her and retreated to my usual table. I quickly began eating my food and once I was done o decided I should go to the library.

"Hey Gabby!" I smiled at the librarian. Although she is one, she doesn't look like one. Gabby is really young, she has tattoos, a few face piercings and has gauges.
"Hey Tay, what happened?" "How did you know something happened?"I question. "You're smiling like a fool!" She laughed as she fixed a shelf of books.
"Well, At lunch, Jpdi tried to hurl a basketball at me buuuttt, I doged it! The look on her face was priceless!"
"Well. After all she's done to you, you deserve this small laugh."
"Do ya need help?" I asked, pluagging my phone into the auxiliary cord.
"Yeah." She stated as Black Veil Brides came through the speakers.
For the rest of the lunch period we danced and sang all around the library stacking books.
The bell rang signaling that I should get going to sixth period.
"Welp. I gotta go but can I charge my phone here?" "Tay, you already know my answer so why do you insist on asking?" She asked. "I don't want to be rude. Thanks though. I'll see you later!" I called out to her as I grabbedy bag and retreated to my writing class.
As soon as I stepped into class, the tardy bell rang. My teacher, Miss Bruce, closed the door and turned off the lights. "Since exams are over, we will be watching a movie."
She put on the movie and I instantly grew bored so I took out my journal and started writing down lyrics.

The day is over so I walked back to the library quietly humming to myslef. I opened the door and I heard Gabby asking "Check out?"
I smiled to myself and put my bag in a table. Then I walked to Gabs' desk and grabbed my phone and unplugged it from it's charger. "Hey Taylor!" I looked up and saw that boy from earlier. "Hey..." I looked at him trying to remember his name. "Johnnie." He stated disappointedly.
"Yeah! Hi." I awkwardly said and turned to Gabby. "I'll teat you later, I gotta get to work." She nodded. "Kay! Be careful!"
