Chapter 1

My alarm starts beeping, waking me up from my two hour sleep. I dismiss it and sit up on my bed wiping the sleep off my eyes. I get off of the bed, fold the blanket and set the bed before grabbing my towel to take my morning shower. I decided to turn the water to cold, that way I won't feel sleepy and have the urge to crawl back to bed. I picked my usual outfit; baggy trousers, plain black top and white sneakers. I grab my bag and walk downstairs to the living room. I keep my bag ready on the sofa and go to the kitchen to start on breakfast. I pull out the frying pan and the batter I had made last night before bed. Once I made enough for all four of us. I packed them in their boxes and placed all of them on the counter before putting mine in my bag. 

"Good morning Mom, Dad" I greeted them with a smile. All they did was walk into the kitchen, grab their lunch boxes and walk out the front door before yelling, 

"Fallon! Mom and Dad are going to work!" My mom yelled before walking out of the door. 

"Okay. Bye!" Fallon calls back coming down the stairs, phone in hand. 

After a few minutes I decided I better go too. Being here at home isn't helping. I walked out of the door remembering to grab the house keys before saying bye to Fallon who also didn't respond like my parents but scoffed, walking past me to the car she claims as hers. 

I walk the five minute walk to the bus stop. It takes a few seconds before the bus approaches the bus stand. I greet the bus driver like I usually do and go find a seat at the back by the window. I sit down, pulling my phone out plugging in my earphones before scrolling through a few playlists on Spotify. I settled on the first playlist I made which I named 'M no:1'. 
The music starts playing which lulls me to sleep. Just like I thought, I fell asleep for a few minutes getting up to someone nudging my shoulder. 

"Oh. Sorry" I sheepishly smiled before getting down the bus wishing the bus driver a good day. 

I walk into the school entrance passing by my sister whose arm is wrapped around a boy next to her and her gang of friends. They keep laughing when they notice me walking by and I pretend like I didn't even notice them. I walk into the school building to my locker. I organise my locker accordingly for the day, grabbing only my books for the first two periods and head to class. I excuse myself seeing that I'm the first person to be in class like always. I greet the teacher and take my usual seat which is at the back. I pulled out my planner and thought of planning for the week for the time being. 

Halfway through filling in the week my teacher walks up to me. 

"Uh, hello.." I said, a little nervous. 

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Smith asks with a smile. 

"Just uhh, planning for the week, ma'am" I said. 

"That's good. I'm going to the office for a few minutes.." she informs me and I nod and continue writing when she leaves. 

Few minutes later, class starts piling up with other students. The peace and the quietness in the classroom is long gone now that the class is full. I ignore the noise and try to go through the events I've noted down...

"Whatcha got there?" One of the boys peeked from behind me which scared me but I quickly recovered. 

"Nothing" I state and close my planner trying to put it in my bag before he snatches it from me. "Hey! Give it back!" I said quickly, getting up from my chair. 

"Oooh, what if I don't?" He backs away from me flipping through the pages and I ignore him and walk towards him. 

"Can you please give me that back before I tell the teacher..." I plead. "Please," I say again.
