CHAPTER 1

*Hailee*

The weird girl who is a part of the most popular group in school. The girl who has to suffer everyday to make ends meet. The girl with a dead mom, and a dad, who was not over the loss of her mother. The girl who sells her body a week before her periods to get her sanitary products during her period. The girl who works at McD everyday after school.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"UGH" Hailee got up though she didn't want to. She had lot to do Chores and homework.

She got up and went towards her sink. She was pretty. Brown eyes and black hair. She was half Spanish and half American. She brushed and had a quick shower and sat on her desk to study. It was 3:30 in the morning and she had about 4 hours till her dad got up and starts yelling for breakfast.

It was 7 and she had no other option than to leave the English sonnets she was reading. She didn't want to stop reading them but she had no other choice. She had to make breakfast for her dad and herself.

She got to the kitchen and searched for some pancake mix but there was no pancake mix. She then searched for some bread in the shelf. But there was no bread as well. She checked for eggs and there were no eggs as well. UGH she had to go for shopping today!!!!

Hailee hated shopping days as they were time consuming. She would usually skip a class and go because she didn't want to waste more time after school.

She then got cereal and mixed water with it as there was no milk as well.

"HAILEE!!!!!!!!!!" her dad screamed

"Yes dad coming!" she responded

"BREAKFAST" he screamed

She went and sat next to her dad and gave him the cereals.

"Water?" he said looking at the bowl

"Yes. We don't have food at home. I will go grocery shopping today" she said

"Hmm" he said eating the cereal.

"Ok I better get going. Don't wanna be late" she said

"Goodbye hon" her dad said

"Bye papa" she said and left the room

Hailee didn't own a car but she owned a cycle. She didn't go anywhere without it even if it was her neighbor. The cycle was her mom's and it made Hailee feel closer to her mom. She reached school and spotted her friends- Mandy, Sami, Jaden, Noah and Elodi.

"Ha there is my girl!" Mandy said coming over towards her and kissing her on her lips.

"Hi" Hailee said

"Hey you guys remember what we gotta do tonight right?" Sami reminded

"Wait it is today?" Hailee asked

"Duh gurl" Sami replied

"You have to come! DO NOT BAIL ON US LIKE LAST TIME" said Jaden

"Yeah. Off course she is coming" Mandy said putting a hand around her neck.

Hailee really didn't want to go. But then she thought 'A night off from all my worries would help'

"Yeah off course I am coming guys" she said

"Good" Jaden said

"But after 7, my shifts end at 7 today." She said

"We were thinking 9 soo its good" Elodi said
