but if we're talking about government names, i'm melody.
melody peters.
i'm 17.
i've experienced a lot of things in my life so far.
mom died last year.
dad left when i was 13.
basically been living on my own since i was 15.
and this is my first time back at school since my mom died.
can't wait for the stares.
all the "i'm sorry"s.
as if that changes anything.
a whole bunch of random people telling me they're sorry.
as if that brings her back.
and can't forget about the karen's and their "my condolences"
like who made that up?
*DING*
my thoughts were interrupted by an incoming text.

i walked into the diner to find liv and sam already sitting down.
"look who finally arrived." liv said.
"your majesty." sam said while pretending to bow.
"shut up." i said while nudging sam as i sat down next to him.
"we already ordered for you." sam said.
i nodded my head as a way of saying "okay".
"we have school tomorrow." liv said while groaning.
"don't remind me." i said dreadfully.
"and tomorrow is your first day back since.." sam said.
"my mom croaked?" i said looking at him.
"well, i was gonna say it nicer than that." he said looking at his drink.
i chuckled.
the waiter brought us our food and we were just scrolling through tinder on sam's phone starting conversations.
we helped sam clean it up since his shift had started.
i turned around to grab our plates on the counter when i met eyes with him.
the 6 feet and 2 inched brown haired boy that ran our school.
liv and i were the only people he hadn't done anything with.
for me, i just never understood the hype.
for liv .. obvious reasons.
"i want to order something." he said.
his voice was deep. it was intimidating.
"we both know i don't work here, you dick." i said back at him.
he chuckled and looked away.
"so then what are you doing behind the counter?" he said looking down at the start of the sentence and finishing it with his eyes looking back at mine.
"helping your brother." i said.
"why?" he said grabbing a menu and looking at it.
"because that's what friends do jackson." i said lifting his arms so i could wipe the counter.
he looked up and stared at me for a few seconds before speaking again.
"where's sam?" he said still staring at me.
i pointed to the table where sam was taking an order.
he nodded his head at me as a thank you and goodbye as he walked over to sam.
sam wasn't the kind of person to say that his brother was off limits.
i've just never been interested in him.
because he's an asshole.
sam walked over with his table's and jackson's order.
i took jackson's order.
jackson sat down at the counter again to wait for his order.
i read it and looked up at him.
sam gave him his order.
"all you wanted was coffee?" i said looking at him.
he sipped it and raised his eyebrows at me.
i rolled my eyes and walked away.
