Skipping Stones-Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The First Step

My life was out of whack at this point in time. I'm not the smartest person people know but I have my pros. I was known throughout my school as the useless child. I got this name when I was 8. My parents abandoned me and left me for dead, to my surprise no one felt sorry for me, calling me the demon offspring or shit like that.

If you haven't already noticed this I'm not what you call your average teenager, there are... things about me that some people run from. So this is my story about trying to get through the struggle and finding myself behind years of being lied to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Valerie Ann Weston. I was born as a premature, people were telling my parents that I would be lucky to live to see the next sunrise. This brought devastation to my parents, they began to slowly give up on life all together.

Doctors were amazed to see that what they thought was a child who will never live a real life, became something amazing. They called me a child blessed by god himself. But I never agreed with that concept. I didn't feel the love that most kids felt, at a young age.

When I turned 5 my parents thought it was a good idea to give me a butterfly knife and to teach me all the ins an outs of using it safely and to be able to defend myself properly. Some would say that those parents are just going crazy but all I can say is that one lesson they taught me help save my life.

Now enough of the past let's speed this up and get to the real important part of the story you are all waiting to read.

"Beep,Beep,Beep,Beep,Beep." My alarm clock sang as sun began to peak through my curtains. It was the first day of a long life, HIGH SCHOOL where every kid dreads of going to but they don't have any other choice but to agree.

I began my morning routine like every other, chucking my alarm clock at the wall until it shut up. Trying to get out of bed but failing and causing myself to hit the floor with a loud,THUD!. It may not seem all that fast but seriously it suck having to wake up every single god damn day at 6 o'clock just to have a shower.

After lying on the floor thinking if I should just roll under my bed and fall back asleep, but then I thought to myself, not a good idea. I look towards the horror where the floor should be but is covered in clothes from the previous week I start to think how the hell am I going to be able to stick with this routine, I need my beauty sleep or else I become the biggest bitch known to man, or woman.

The shower took forever, it's a horrible idea to walk into the shower instead of waiting a couple second for the water to actually heat up. "Bloody hell, arrrggh." I screamed as the ice cold water blasted against my body, causing shivers to run down my spine.

After the run in with the ice cold water, it was looking like smooth sailing ahead, I was dressed, I didn't look like a hobo, I actually put effort into looking half decent, for once in my life. But like every thing good, it must come to an annoying-sibling-screaming-at-you-well-you-try-to-brush-your-teeth situation.

"Val!!.... Mom said to get out of the bathroom I have to go to the bathroom!" My brother Ethan whined as I fought the urge to hit him with the plunger, but I knew better than that well maybe. He began pounding on the door causing my temper to grow until I had, had enough, I ripped open the door and..... Oh crap, mom was standing right behind him, and she looked pissed off. I thought to myself oh hell no now my day really sucks.

"Why do you taken so freaking long just to brush your damn teeth Valerie!" My mom practically yelled at me with her arms crossed and the death stare slowly killing me. It is insane how parents can scare their kids shitless just from the evil parent stare.

"Um... I don't want my breath to smell like sh.. I mean like poo." God I almost broke the rule, no swearing in the house, yeah I know what the hell, like I need a life here, it's starting to get on my nerves like a freaking leech.

I walked out of the bathroom an quickly walked to my room. I opened my door and almost screamed at the sight, what the hell happened to my bag, it was here a...... Ethan. I ran to his room and their on his bed way my bag, ugh I'm gonna kill that kid some day.

"Bye everyone see ya later!" I yelled as I ran to catch my bus, I knew this was going to be a long boring day, but what I didn't know is that this school is not a normal school at all.
