Drowning

First class

                                                                                      chapter 1

I'm sitting in a park with my mother, there's beautiful weather today even the birds are chirping , I smile at her with big eyes and she smiles back. "C'mon Lucy we will be late to the ice cream shop" she giggles and we start walking there. Suddenly wind starts blowing , it gets dark and she keeps walking faster and faster but I can't keep but with her. I call for her many times but I lose her. I fall to the grown and cry.

Lucy Pov
I'm having another nightmare about my mum, ugh got to wake up.
I wake up with a sharp pain in my side. I already know who caused it, I opening my eyes to see my father. Looks like I'm not getting out of here without a bruise or 4.

"Wake up and go to school you ugly bitch" my dad says. At least he's not drunk yet. I go to get up and he shoves me back onto the floor and starting kicking me in the side and stomach. I feel tears threatening to spill but I hold it back, if I cry he will hurt me more. He stands back looking at me with disgust then He leaves.

I'm Lucy, my mother's dead. My fathers abusive and I struggle in school with kids. My bedroom Is a broken window, a wood floor with some blankets for me to sleep on and a broken cupboard.

I get ready for school and grab my makeup bag to cover my bruises and scars. I look in the mirror one more time quickly then I carefully walk downstairs hoping I don't get seen by my dad. I've almost made it to the door when he calls my name. I turn around and he slams me against the wall hard and punches me. He walks away, I feel nauseous now and I'm going to need more makeup to cover that black eye that will appear any second now.

Every morning I leave for school early so I can go to the park bathroom where nobody goes because it's supposedly haunted and do my makeup and cover up. I walk into the school gates and all eyes are on me, people are whispering, I keep my head down and walk to my first class

*RiNG*
The bell goes and class starts, all of the kids pile inside and take there seats, as usual no kids sit near me. "Morning class, hope your ready to learn, today we have a new boy, make sure to introduce yourself in your own time" our teacher miss gasper announces.

 The class goes quiet and most look up at the new boy who is at the front of the classroom. All the girls are Fangirling over him. I'll just keep my head down in my book, best stay out of trouble and Kim has probably already called dibs on him, you should of seen the last girl that got in her way.

 I hear whispers and suddenly the chair next to me is pulled back and sat in. "Hello" this is going to be a long day, he sat next to me. I just keep reading my book and pretend I don't know he's there. It's not like I don't want friends but If I let anyone close to me they could find out my secret and Kim would either convince them to be her friend instead and hate me or beat me up for talking to them.
