The boy next door

Ivy

Walking the halls admiring the peaceful sound of nothing as I skip 3rd period admiring the art work the art teacher puts out for everyone to pass by during passing time they never admire anything to busy talking about rumors or to busy having their faces glued to a screen , I laugh to myself as I think of those things I've never been the type to talk or gossip because I was always the talk of the town since I moved here .

It's not easy being the new kid or fresh meat but luckily I won't be here much longer I plan on leaving as soon as I get off the stage at graduation  I want to go to New York and start a career in whatever sparks my interest maybe art since I'm so fascinated by it "IVY MILLER " shit I thought to myself as the principal walks towards me " why are u skipping again " "I'm sorry Mr . Berry I needed fresh air " I lied I wanted to leave I wanted to run out the exit and hide behind the bleachers in the football field and cry or maybe wait till school was over but instead I got distracted by the art on the walls " my office now Mrs. Miller " 2 more months I tell myself 2 more as I walk down the hall towards his office.

" have a seat " I sat down fidgeting with the bottom of my shirt waiting for him to call my father to tell him I was skipping my father wasn't the greatest he was a drunk and a druggie he did terrible things to me after mom passed away I was 10 when he did what he did as I was sound asleep in the same bed with him because I missed mom never thought a father would do that in a billion years  .

"Sir please don't call my father I promise I'll go back to class "

" I'm sorry Ivy but I have to call him"

As he's calling him I don't hear him pick up relief rushed over me knowing  that he was probably drunk passed out on the living room floor .

" well mis miller I won't call him back but I do expect u to go back to class immediately u only have 2 more hours of school left "

" yes Mr . Berry "

As I walk out of the office I bump into someone stumbling backwards I look up and see the most gorgeous eyes but they seem awfully familiar.

Oliver? He just looks down at me with the facial expression of discuss which saddens because me and him have never spoken to each other ever since I moved in next door our house's are on the outside of town all the way up the mountains just our house's up there during winter we get snowed in terribly though so I've heard ,

" sorry I didn't mean to bump into you"

" it's whatever Ivy "

As he leaves rushing down the hall I step back and realized that he knows my name yet we've never spoken before I only know his name because rose never shuts up about his friend but now I know he's probably heard all the rumors about me .

2 hours later

Bell rings , finally sigh of relief I get on my phone to text rose to see if I can stay with her tonight

Ivy : girly can I pretty please come crash at ur house tonight I'm scared to go home Yk why .

Rose : I won't be home till late I have a date 👀 but mom will let u inside feel free to eat dinner and make yourself comfortable!

Ivy : okay sounds good lmk how it goes WAIT A DATE ? Since when who the hell is it ??

Ughh I can't believe she didn't tell me this sooner hopefully it's not sum creep

Luckily rose only lived 3 blocks away from the high school she's lucky though I have to wait for my drunk father or cracked out father to come get me that if he remembers because the buses don't go up that hill at all ,
