If there is anything I've learned in life, it only takes one person, one moment to change your life forever. To change your perspective. To make you reevaluate everything you thought you knew. And if I had to think back to when that moment was, it would probably be the day that I meant you.
"Bai... Bailey... it's time to wake up" I groaned at the sound of my sister's voice trying to wake me up. "Bailey if you don't get your butt out of bed, you're going to end up waking to school on your first day back" I jolted up at her words. Which made her get off the spot she was sitting on.
"Wait, what day is it?" I questioned urgently.
"It's Monday August 3rd 20xx, also the first day back to school, remember" she said annoyed at my forgetfulness. I groaned at her statement
"Do i have to go, i could be home schooled you know" I said jokingly, not.
"How about you get your butt out of bed and get ready for school" she said leaving my room. Before she walked out of my room she turned around and said "you have 20 minutes to get ready, before we leave without you" and with that she walked out.
20 MINUTES! She is the devil. I quickly rushed out of the room with my towel and went to the bathroom located right outside my room. I took about a 5 minute shower, dried my hair, brushed my teeth and ran back to my room. I went to my extremely small closet. I grabbed my school uniform, which was a plaid red skirt with a white button up shirt. I then grabbed a black jumper and put it over my uniform and took a pair black ankle socks and went to the front of our apartment and put on my shoes.
"I'm ready" I exclaim out of breath from rushing to get ready.
"Would you look at that Brooke, '' my sister's boyfriend Ryan says to her chuckling and she giggles. "Well shall we get going?" he says and my sister and I nod and grab our coat and head out.
I live in Portland, Oregon with my sister and her boyfriend.The reason for that is my parents they are rude, annoying, controlling, *ssholes (excuse my language) but it's true, so i decided to move in with my sister and her boyfriend when i was 15. They had a 2 room apartment far away from my parents house and close to the school I attended.
I am grateful to them especially since they provide for me. My sister is in college and has a job as dance professor that pays well, and Ryan is a journalist. They both had a lot on their plate when i moved in so I also decide to get a job, at a local cafe near our apartment, my sister was against the idea at first, because she wanted me to focus on school, but if i don't work and get money then we would most likely be broke and living on the streets, so i insisted on getting a job and as much as she is against it she let me, but only if i work on weekends.
"Almost there," Ryan said, pulling up to my school. I attended woodmoor academy, it's an expensive and prestigious school. Most of the kids that attend this school come from wealthy families and they pay tuition but I passed the entrance exam with flying colours and got a scholarship. I am pretty smart for my age, I am only in 11th grade and I take all advanced classes..
Ryan stopped the car in front of the school and before I got out they both turned around and said "Have fun" in unison. I smiled at them and got out and they drove off.
I walked into the building and went to my locker. While walking I looked around at all the people catching up with their friends about their summer break. You see I don't have any friends, unless you consider that kid that sits in the library with me. I am literally invisible at this school, nobody sees me. But that doesn't bother me, it's quite peaceful, I don't have to worry about drama so I guess it's a plus.
I reached my locker and put my coat inside it and some books that I wouldn't need until the second half of the day. I then closed my locker and looked at the clock on the wall near my locker and saw that I had 10 minutes before class started so I decided to head to class since I had nothing better to do.
I entered my first class which was history and took a seat in the back corner near the windows. I usually sit in the back in all my classes, I don't know why but for some reason it helps me focus. Since I was early I took out a book that I checked out from the library a few days ago and began reading it.
People started slowly entering the class and as soon as the bell rang I put my book away. The teacher stood from her desk and walked to the front of the classroom, she looked awfully young to be a teacher especially for such an advanced class. She had dark black hair and fair skin. She was very skinny too, almost too skinny to the point where you could snap her as easily as a twig. She began to speak.
"Hello class my name is Ms.Wilson and I will be your teacher for the year." she said as loudly as she could over the voices of the students that were still talking, which was the majority of the class. " if you could... would you all be quiet please" she said a tad bit louder but nobody quieted down.
Suddenly the door was opened.
There is the first chapter I hope you enjoy!!
