"So you're saying that the guy who is interested in you, is the one you are avoiding?"

My mother asks me with judgment clear in her voice. Well I don't blame her, I make zero sense. I'm just ignoring him so he doesn't end up being ridiculed for being around me. Teenagers will bully you for anything, especially for hanging with the one who'll turn you into their slave or kill you apparently.

"Mom, what do you expect? Belle is the queen of nonsense!"

My annoying little brother Harvey tells our mom with a smirk. Little brothers, why do they even exist I sometimes wonder.

"Then bow down to me you little shit."

I tell him and his cheeky smirk falls into a bored expression.

Harvey walks away and my mom goes back into the kitchen to finish making dinner.

I walk upstairs to my room and see my little sister Elise taking a nap on my bed like always.

I don't know why but she likes napping in my room for some strange reason.

I lay down next to her and watch YouTube videos on my phone with my AirPods on.

A couple hours later my mom comes in and tells me to wake up Elise and go downstairs for dinner.

"El, wake up."

I shake her very gently and she turns over to look at me.

"Hey sunshine, time for dinner."

She smiles and gets off the bed and makes her way to the door. She gets on her tippy-toes to grasp the door knob and turns it.

She skips out the room and I follow behind her.

I sit down in my usual spot, next to dad on his right and Harvey is sat in my dad's left. My mom sits across from my dad with El in her chair and booster seat right next to my mom on her left. All of us are seated and then there is the empty spot on the left side of my mother which belongs to my older sister Everly.

My older sister Everly doesn't live here anymore. She has her own apartment with her best friend Ezra. I honestly think they would be the cutest couple ever! But Everly is as oblivious as they come, it's so obvious Ezra has the hots for her.

"Okay I made us some arroz con papas majadas y pollo horneado!"
(Rice, mashed potatoes, roasted chicken)

No matter what mom cooks it's always so delicious! Of course my naturally bitchy face shows otherwise but mom knows I love her food.

She's the one that taught me all I needed to know when it came to cooking and baking.

After I finish eating and thanking my mom for the meal. I go upstairs to finish some of my drawings.

(a/n nobody else thanks their parents or whoever cooks for them for the meal or is it a Latino fluke?)

I'm like my own self bully Everly tells me. I always criticize myself in anything I do, like playing sports with my father, drawing, I even quit gymnastics because I thought I wasn't good enough.

But those few days I spent with River, I felt like I was at least worthy of being someone's friend.

Everything would be so much better if I wasn't me. If I wasn't Belle Daniela Demara. Sometimes I think back to the day I lost my only friend. I then start to think that the car crash was planned. It would make perfect sense since my family has been wanted by bad people since my great, great- oh my gosh, basically this one dude in my family back in the Dominican Republic.

He was involved in some bad shit that's all.

And because of that his son become an FBI agent which soon became some type of unofficial family thing to have one of the members become a cop. Which my dad became.

I lay back down on my bed and decided it was time for me to sleep. So I did my night routine and tied my hair up in a comfy hair towel after I washed it and lay down in my bed and looked up at my ceiling.

I start to count the lights I have up there and then as soon as I run out of lights to count I'm too bored to count again so I try to close my eyes but that doesn't do anything either.

I finally get up and take my insomnia pills. I haven't had sleeping issues since I met River but after I stopped talking to him they came back. Don't think I'll start to be all chummy with him just because a few issues that stopped because of him are back again. I'll deal with this alone like I've always have.

After half an hour I finally feel tired and finally go to sleep.

*Beep Beep Beep*

I smack my arm to my bedside table and grab my phone to turn off my alarm for school.

I drag my body into my bathroom and after using the toilet and brushing my teeth I unwrap my towel from my hair and let my blonde tresses be free. I brush my hair that had somehow been let down into loose waves. I just decided to go for a very simple half up and half down hairstyle.

I went i into my closet and took out a nice black long sleeve and black jeans with white air forces.

I grab my black book bag and left my house and went into my black Jeep and rode all the way to school since my dad left a note onto my door saying he took Harvey and Elise to school today.

I arrived at school a couple minutes early and took that as more than enough time to enter and grab my shit without bumping into River since he gets here 15 minutes from now usually.

After I parked my car I jogged inside the school and ran right for my locker. I opened that shit really hard and fast and grabbed my books that I needed for the first three periods and put away what I didn't need.

I turned around and came face to face with the super cute angel himself!

"River! What the fuck you can't just stand behind a girl like that!"

"Sorry but I came in and saw you there."

I roll my eyes and walked right past him as if he was a ghost and headed straight for Science class.

I sat in my seat and saw River follow me in and take a seat beside me.

"Ya know there's more seats."

"But I wanna sit next to you."

I sighed and rolled my eyes when really on the inside I think my heart just melted a whole bunch of times in one second.

I really am trying to ignore him but he's making it so hard. Especially when he looks at me with those blue eyes.

Oh lord please help me before River Ko kills me with his damn staring!
