Broken Oaths

School's Over J. J

Song_ Halsey: Alone
"Can anyone tell me when to use dashes in sentences and why they're basically useful"Mrs Walton asked facing the crowd of bored students she's pretty temperamental and over_ethical too.
"J. J do you have any idea" JJ nodded negatively.
"Creston" Creston is the class bully;he hates me.
" Emma"
" No idea Mrs Walton"she answers impassively.
" Ms Tennyson, I suppose you know a thing or two about dashes, how about you enlighten us"
I rise to my feet and get a turn of scoffs,eye rolling and jeers. I clear my throat and begin
"Well, dashes used alone attaches one idea to another more vigorously than a comma would. Dashes highlight words or phrases by separating them from the rest of a sentence_too many dashes however can clutter a passage"
Mrs Walton's faces brightens up in a smile and she starts applauding me making the rest of the class do too hesitantly.
"You never fail to impress me, Winona"
Another round of scoffs and jeers
" Thank you Mrs Walton" I say taking my seat.

I ram my books into my locker, slam it shut and exhaled deeply,  time to go home, time to go to work.
"Well isn't miss goody two shoes, going home"
"School's Over JJ" I  muter rolling my eyes.
" You know Winnie, I hate you so much, you act like you're the best,stop tryna be God Winnie" she snaps

"I hate you too JJ" I reply walking. JJ is the cheerleader and my archenemy; fact, I'm surprised she's not picking fights with me today maybe it's because she isn't with her posse.

I ignore the jeering eyes that were on me as I made out the hallway and headed to my rickety bike.some of these days I'll save money and buy a new bike or a fairly used one I guess I'll just always have to pedal to
school_ unless a miracle happens.

I hop on my bike and pedal along the street karaokeing  Halsey's graveyard as it blasted out of my
head: I love Halsey so much! Even if she coughs in the studio I'll download it and add it to my playlist.
"Hey Winona" Dad calls out from the settee as soon as I enter and lock the door, I'm not surprised dad's home he must've gotten down again this morning after I'd left for school_his case seems to be growing worse and we can't afford to treat him.
"How was school today" he asks
"It was pretty cool dad" I reply recollecting the events of the day.
" Did you make any friends today"
I giggle  at his remark and hurry upstairs to change into more comfortable clothes_working clothes.
Few minutes later I arrive at the dinning table.
"So what's new" I inquired sitting down to last night's leftover pizza
" Well it's nothing but the new  neighbors we've got" I'd expected him to say 'means of survival' like he's always said
I swallowed hard
" We have new neighbors, where?"
"Across the street,the big fancy building across the street, some rich folks bought it and I think they've moved in" Dad says and I down a glass of water
" Who are they"I ask
"The keystones "
"That's pretty cool"I remark standing up and heading towards the door.
"Bye dad"
"Bye sweetie"
I step out of the house and glance at the big, beautiful mansion across the street facing my house.
The keystones must be rich folks, why would they choose Blue Bay Vile, isn't this place too low for their status, what would they want here? I continue wondering gazing intently at the house. Then one of the windows illuminates  light, opening slowly it brings a guy into view, this guy casts a ignoring look at me, sits on the window pane and smoked a cigarette, puffing lightly into the air....
