Part 1. A new start

TW: abusive parents!!!
Glowsticks have to be broken to glow.

'Riley, wake up!' my mom yelled from downstairs. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. Today was my first day on a new High school. I was pretty nervous to go there all alone. It was in the middle of the semester, so everyone already knew each other. I was just going to be the new girl all alone.

I stood up from my bed and walked over to my dresser. I took out blue jeans and a simple white shirt. I put it on and walked downstairs with my schoolbag.

'Finally, you're up. Make some breakfast,' my mom said annoyed. I did as she said and started making breakfast.

My mom and I didn't have a good bond with each other. She was addicted to alcohol, and was abusive sometimes. I had to take care over my little sister, Emma, by myself while she just sat on the couch, watching Tv. We didn't have a dad involved in the situation. They divorced when Emma was nine and I was twelve.

'Jesus, child can't you hurry up a bit? You're goddamn sixteen, you should be able to make breakfast a little quicker,' my mom said annoyed.

I looked down and let out a sigh. 'It's almost done,' I said while I put the baked eggs on a plate. I walked up to my mom and put it in front of her on the coffee table. When I walked away, she kicked me and I fell over.

'Hand me those eggs. You put them way too far away,' she said. I stood up and handed them to her. I had bruised my elbow on the floor.

It was time to get Emma to school. She already ate breakfast and was playing upstairs with her toys.

'Emma, we have to get you to school!' I yelled from downstairs. I heard footsteps running upstairs, and a few seconds later she was downstairs.

We walked to my car, and got inside of it. We drove off to Emma's school.

When I had dropped Emma off, it was time to go to school myself. I was already pretty late, so I drove as fast as I could. When I parked at school, the schoolbel had already rung.

I quickly stepped out of my car and walked into the school. My first class was Biology.

I walked to the classroom I was supposed to be in and opened the door. Everyone looked at me.

'Are you Riley Martin?' a friendly looking man asked me. I nodded yes and walked inside the classroom.

'Class, Riley will be joining us for the rest of the semester,' the man said, 'I'm mister Willsburg. Your seat is next to that guy there.' He pointed at a badass looking guy. He had his feet on the chair that I was supposed to sit. When I walked over to him, he took them off and let out a sigh.

I sat down and took my books out of my bag. I noticed the guy trying to avoid eye contact. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh.

'Okay class, you are going to pair up with the person who sits next to you now,' mister Willsburg said.

'Great,' I heard the guy next to me annoyingly mummering under his breath.

I let out a sigh. 'Have you got a problem with me or something? I don't even know your name yet,' I said.

There was a silence for a few seconds. The guy turned his face to me and said: 'I'm Scott.'
