I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock going off and I get up to get ready for school. I take a shower and I start getting dressed. I wear a white long sleeve shirt with roses and skinny jeans and a black jacket, seeing as how it's the middle of October. I go downstairs and eat cereal alone. My parents are on a business trip, they go once a month for a week. They left yesterday. After breakfast I wash my dishes and head outside to the bus.
I walk into school and go to my locker. As I'm about to leave my locker I'm slammed against it as someone runs down the hallway. Someone else follows behind soon after.
Ace Winters.
Ace is the schools bad boy jock. He's your typical football sleep around, and my crush since freshman year, then again, what girl doesn't have a crush on Ace freaking Winters? He doesn't get close to anyone and has no friends. I can't say much though. The last time I had an actual friend, was in 8th grade, I'm in 11th now.
I look up just in time to see Ace throwing a punch at a blonde haired boy's face.
"Alright! That's quite enough!" Mrs. Knight says, breaking up the fight.
"Okay everyone, go to class, shoo, shoo." I head off the class too. First period is when I have Science.
"Okay class, settle down!" The class grows silent as Ms. Gail comes in.
"Today we'll be learning about-" I drown out her voice with my thoughts.
Ace was fighting again. He does that a lot. He doesn't have many friends. But then again, neither do I. I'm the quiet girl who always stays away from everyone. I don't like being around people and I don't participate in class. I'm usually not noticed by anyone.
"Ms. Love!" I'm pulled out of my thoughts.
"Please pay attention will you?" I shake my head yes and she goes back to talking and I take notes.
----------
At lunch I sit a my usual table and eat my lunch while reading my book. I have been reading "The Best of Me" by Nickolas Sparks. I'm still reading as I go to throw my tray away. I don't notice someone in front of me and I drop my tray and book on the floor. Oh no! I hope my book is okay!
"Watch where you're going idiot!" I hear someone growl. When I look up I freeze. It's Ace. Oh. My. God. I just bumped into Ace. Ughhhhh. I can't believe I just did that.
"S-sorry, I d-didn't mean t-to." I stutter out and instantly cringe at it.
"Yeah whatever." He walks away to go and sit with his friend, Nate Knight, Mrs. Knight's son. I have Mrs. Knight for my Culinary Class next period. It was that or band and I refused to do band.
I walk into Culinary Arts and see someone I didn't expect to see, Ace.
I go to an empty stool that's set up in front of a counter. I don't like being this close to people, but there's nothing I can do about it.
"Okay class, this week we'll be learning about how to be safe inside of a kitchen." There are a bunch of unsatisfied groans that follow.
"I'm sorry, I have to make sure you know what to do whenever you do actually start cooking. It's only this week, so bear with me please?"
With that we started to learn.
----------
I start to walk out of class, trying to hurry so I can leave. For the second time today, I bump into Ace, causing him and me to drop our stuff.
He looks down at me menacingly.
"I told you to watch where you're going!" He yells down at me and I shrink away.
"I'm s-so s-so-"
"Stop apologizing and just watch out. Next time it's gonna be my fist against your face!" Well that's rude. I frown at him and after collecting my things I turn around and leave. He's such a jerk, why do I even like him? Oh, right. It's cause he freaking fine. Ughhhhh, why does he have to be so cute? I sigh and go to my next class.
----------
School went smooth after that. I didn't have anymore encounters with Ace, which I was grateful for and I didn't have to participate in class. I know I should be upset I don't have any friends, but truth is, I'm not. I just don't like people. My 8th grade friend moved away at the start of 9th grade and I didn't want to loose anyone else. I couldn't let anyone find out about my parents either. They hit me. They hurt me. They make sure it isn't visible though. They make sure I wear clothes that cover it up, or they hit me again and tell me to change. Not that anyone would notice anyways. No one ever notices me. After a while I fall asleep, with one person on my mind, Ace.
🐬Sorry it's short. That's probably how all my chapters are going to be. They will be from 800-1,000 words, 800 being the least amount of words I write to 1,000 being the most amount of words I write. This chapter is mainly just to introduce Eva, as the next chapter will more than likely just be mainly to introduce Ace. It will get better though. Please be aware that there will be explanation of abuse and feel free not to read anymore it this makes you uncomfortable. Be sure to check out future books please. Thanks for reading!🐬
