The Start Of It All

Ella wakes up one morning. She looked at her alarm clock, she was five minutes late.

She went downstairs scared but her mom was drunk. She didn't even notice she came down.

She tried sneaking passed her and ran out the door. Only to see her step dad waiting there instead. He yelled.

SD: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Ella: I'm going to school...

SD: Dressed like that you whore.

Ella's POV

I had on a black shirt that when you put your arms up it showed your stomach and some ripped jeans. I looked down.

SD: You look up at me when I speak to you.

I looked up and he slapped me across my left cheek. He was left handed.

SD: Get to school. If anyone asked you why your cheek is red. You better make the best god damn excuse yet! GO!

I ran to the end of the block where o waited for the bus. I didn't have any friends that ride the bus so I sit in the back.

Today is the first day back and I quite nervous. I have one friend who knows nothing. But luckily for her she has a boyfriend who loves her, I have no one like that. She has someone to drive her to school, I wish a had that. She has skin not covered in scars and bruises, I want that.

When I sit in the back a new boy comes on. He was just like me no one knows him so they pushed him backwards. He will find his way up though. Unlike me. I just sorta stayed in my place.

He came back and looked at me.

Boy: This seat taken?

Me: never is.

He sat down next to me and started talking to me.

Boy: I'm Chase.

Me: I'm Ella.

Chase: Do you always sit here?

Me: pretty much.

Chase: alone?

Me: pretty much.

Chase: oh.

That's pretty much all we said the whole ride. When we arrived at school I met with Ivie.

Ivie: hey bae.

Me: hey boo.

We flicked each other of. It's a thing we do.
