Chapter 1: *Part 2*
Ever been on the shallow end of the pool? Gotten the shortest length on the stick? Picked last for a team sport in gym? Yeah right don't lie you know you have. God know's I have. I hate school. I literaly Hate it. If I had a match I would burn the Fucker down. Biology is stupid. Sex ed is boring. Gym is pointless, Algebra II well that's kinda fun. Buisness concept...ugh please give me a break. when the hell am I going to open up a buisness! When I get out of this hell hole I'm going to california to persue my dream as an actor or be a journalist. I think thats the only class where I can do nothing but write. I love journalism ever since I was a little girl. Dad use to take me to his office in New york and let me play on the computer. When I got older he let me have his laptop and I started to write my own stories. I even won the young authors competition when I was in 5th grade. That was pretty cool until I turned 11. When I turned 11 my dad's plan broke down in mid air. His body was never found and I never saw him again. Mom never spoke to after that. She wakes up every morning and goes to work. I see her on sundays and that's about it. She claims she's going on a buisness trip next week and i'll have the house to myself but, knowing her she'll probably lose her job in less then 30 seconds.
Mom cant keep a job to save her life. she always fucks up some how and I always have to pick her back up and make sure gets another job by the end of the week. we cant last without her working because my little paycheck covers my car note and expenses for school. so if i have any money left over i buy food for us to eat, clothes for me to wear, or put it in the bank to help me out for college. Great its time for school. I heard that buzzing deep inside my dream. My eyes struggle to open as the blinding sunlight hits my face. I throw things at my dresser until the buzzing finally stops. Mom is banging on my door. "Sky! Get Up!" "I am!" The banging stops and her door slams. I grab my glasses off the nightstand and groan louldly. "Shit i'm so late." Its 7:39 and the bus will be here in 10 minutes. There is no way i'm skipping a shower and brushing my teeth so i'm just gonna drive myself to school today. I grab my clothes off the edge of the bed and head into the bathroom.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror. What do I see. I see a tall light skinned girl. She has long Brown hair and Bright green eyes. Her face is nicely structured and she's a pretty girl. I take my shower and brush my teeth. My hair is soaking wet and the water stopped working. "Shit!" I go downstairs and grab a bottle of water. I pour water on my toothbrush and grab some toothpaste and start brushing. "Improvising much?" I rinse my mouth out and drink the bottle of water. "Well I had no choice the water bill hasnt been paid mom." She gave me the "You better shutup" look. "You're late for school." "I know, I know." I grab my pony tail holder and put it in a sloppy ponytail. I slide my shoes on and head out the door.
My phone is buzzing wildly in my pocket. I take it out and answer while slamming the car door shut. "What!" "Well goodmorning to you too." "Oh i'm sorry. I'm like so late right now." "Yeah I was gonna ask you about that. Where are you?" "On my way now. Keep my seat warm and stall for me." "Sky..." "Please babe! Please I dont ask for anything just this one thing." "You got 10 minutes." "Yes! thanks i'll be in soon." I shut my phone and start focusing on the road. Just a block more and i'm home free. Damnit! You left you're french homework on the counter!!
"Aww shit man!" I pull into the school parking lot and shut the engine off. I grab my backpack and focus the mirror on me. My hair dried quick so I pull the ponytail holder out and let the dark auburn curls surround my face. I grab my stuff and run inside. My phone buzzes again. "Hello?" "Sky hurry up he's not buying chase and marco's story." "Chase and marco was the best you could do?" "Short notice. well i'm here now so..." "Um Sky." "What?" I made it inside the classroom and closed my phone. I sat across from him While Marco and Chase were still making an excuse for me. "Well hi there." "Hi." I smiled and put my books on my desk. I leaned over as his soft lips found mine. The kiss was sweet and warm. Yet a little overwhelming. "Well so nice of you to join us Ms. Jones but you and youre buddd here just got yourselfs a spot in detention!" I pulled away from his embrace fast to see the teacher hovering over us. "For what!" "Kissing in class and you being late Mrs.Jones." "I cant go I have baseball practice." "And I have track!" "Looks like you both are out of luck aren't you." "Come on please I've never gotten a detention before." "Mrs. Jones you've been late to my class 3 times in a row i'm sorry you get the detention." "Thats bullshit!"
Mayson was looking at me. He was telling me to stop and let it go but I wasnt serving that detention. "B.S huh? Well guess what Mrs. Jones Principals office...Now!!!" "Ugh!" I got up and pushed my books off the desk. I walked out of his class and slammed the door behind me. My face was redder than ever and the tears were hot down my face. I sat by the principals door as I waited to recieve disiplinary action.
"Wow is that Sky I see?" I turned my head to see a new boy. His name was Nick I think. The new bad boy here at Kinghorn Prep. "That's my name and dont wear it out." "Wow I'd never think i'll see you're good ass here." "I'm not that good." "Right. High honor roll since the 3rd grade. And a GPA of 4.325 Yeah right." "What's you're name Bad boy?" "Nick but everyone here calls me Patch. And seriously call me." He winked at me and slid his number in my hands. His eyes were Dark and mysterious. Something about him just made me become alive and do some things I nevr thought i'd do.
