"Lyric! Get down here now!" My mother shouted. I walked fast down the stairs.
"Yes?" I asked quietly. I learned that if you talk loudly she'll hit you.
"I want you to go down to the store and get me some drinks." She said while sitting down on the couch. I nodded and got some of the money out of her purse. I walked to the store that was two blocks away. I'm the only 16 year old allowed to buy smokes or drinks. The manager knows my mother so she lets me get almost anything I want from the store for my mother. She doesn't like me. Sometimes she'll come over to my house and beat me with my mother laughing and saying she should have a kid of her own. Yeah right. As soon as I walked into the store Carla(the manager) smiled at me. She did not look nice.
"What do you want?" She said.
"My mother wants some of her few specials." I said handing her the money. She nodded and went to get the drinks. While I was waiting in line I saw somebody that looked familar. He was wearing sunglasses and a straw hat. Carla came back around the corner with the drinks.
"Now, what do you say?" She said.
"Thank you." I said quelty.
"Speak louder, girl!" She yelled. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the boy look up from a maginzine he was reading.
"Thank you." I said a little louder but not much. Carla raised her hand and it hit my face with so much force it knocked me down.
"Now. When I get to your house tonight you better be louder." She turned away and headed into the back room. My cheek was hurting so bad. I didn't nnotice the boy had come over until he was standing right in front of me. He held out his hand and I flinched back. He looked worried. He took off his sunglasses.
"It's okay. I won't hurt you." He said queitly. I didn't know if I could trust him but I let him help me up. As soon as I stood up I took a step back. I looked down.
"Thank you." I said queitly.
"Who was that woman?" He asked a little angry. Oh no. He can't find out about my mom. She'll kill me.
"No one. Bye." I said quickly. I turned around and walked outside. When I got out the door I felt somebody's hand on my arm. I looked and it was the same boy.
"My name Ryan Thompson." He said. I heard that name from somewhere. I tore my arm away from his grip and ran to my house making sure I didn't break any of the bottles. My mother was waiting by the door when I got home. She smirked.
"Did you see Carla?" I nodded. She laughed and snatched the bag out of my hands. "Go away. Don't let me see your face unless your called for." I walked fast to my room. My mother will beat me if I walk slowly or if I run. I spent the rest of the night in my room.I went to bed early because I had school in the morning. Yes I have school. The law is making my mother let me go to school. I have to ride the bus though. That sucks. I only have two friends. Ashley and Matthew. Their both my best friends.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I woke up to. I quickly turned the alarm clock off before it woke my mother. I put on tight blue jeans with a black t-shirt. I put on some blue and white vans. I brushed my long, thick, straight hair into a ponytail. I grabbed my crappy bookbag and hurried outside before I missed the bus. The bus came 10 seconds after I got outside. I climbed onboard. I sat with Ashley in the third seat.
"Hey." She said smiling at me. It went away when she looked at me. "Om my god. Lyric, which one did it?" She and Matthew knew about my secret.
"Carla." I said. She shook her head and took out her makeup bag. She put foundation on to cover the handprint bruise on my face. She smiled when she was done. I was going to tell her what happened but we were at school.Matthew was waiting for us. He gave me a big hug than hugged Ashley. We all walked to Math Class together. We sat in the very back. Ashley sat on my right side and Matthew on my left. About 5 minutes after the lesson has began the door opens. I was drawing in my notebook.
"Can I help you?" Mr. Cortez asks.
"Yeah. I'm new here." When I heard the voice my head snapped up. It was the same boy from the store. He met my eyes. All the girs were smiling at him besides me and Ashley.
"Okay. You can sit in front of Lyric. Lyric please raise your hand." He said not looking away from the board. I raised my hand. He smiled and came and sat in front of me. All the girls were glaring at me. I rolled my eyes. Seriously? Mr. Cortez continued to write on the board. Ryan turned around in his seat and smiled. I ignored him. For the whole lesson I ignored him. he gave us ten minutes to clean up and talk. Ryan once again turned to me while I turned to Ashley.
"I think he likes you." She whispered in my ear. I look at her horrified. I shook my head at her. Matthew was laughing at me. I glared at him and he stopped.
"Matty. Can you help me?" I asked him using my baby innocent voice while doing the puppy dog face.
"Sure." He said. I knew he couldn't resist my cute face! I smiled. I turned to Ryan. I smiled evilly.
"What are you looking at?" Matthew said to Ryan. I laughed at his expression.
"Mathew, don't be mean." Ashley said.
"I'm sorry, Ashley. I put him up to it." I said to her. She laughed.
"Lyric is your name?" Ryan suddenly asked. I nodded.
"By the way thanks a lot for yesterday. I didn't mean to be harsh." I said. He smiled.
"It's okay. I didn't mind. I'm just in town." He said. The bell rang and I stood up. I walked away and walked into someone. I looked up and saw him standing there.
