The Run Away

Chapter 1: I ran

I ran away... I ran away from everything and everyone that pushed me down. I couldn't do it anymore, my father wanted me to become the heiress of his multi-billion-dollar business. I didn't want to do what my father did, I love him, but ever since I started high school and my mom passed away he changed.

I went to my aunt's house, I explained to her that I just wanted to start new, I didn't want anyone else to remind me of my mother or me becoming the heiress of my dad's business. My aunt Susan respected that anyway and that's why I'm glad I came to her.

Today is my first day at Jerrison High. It's the middle of the school year, but I will try and bend with these idiots for less than two years then I'll be in college. (Marie's outfit pictured below)

I woke up and took a quick shower and put my outfit on. I look at my phone and sigh, knowing if I don't hurry up I'm going to be late for my first day.

I grab my bag and run downstairs, I notice my aunt isn't here and is probably at work, so I grab my car keys and drive to the school I'm going to have to deal with for the next two years.

Once I get to the school, I go to the office and ask for my schedule. Once I get my schedule, I walk out of the office and look around confused. I had no idea where my first class was, I walk around trying to figure out where my class is and walk into a wall. Oh, wait that wasn't a wall, I look up and see this guy with blue eyes and blonde hair.

He looks at me with slightly concerned eyes. "Hey I'm sorry, are you okay?". He asks and I take a step back.

I nod my head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry... I'm Marie by the way." I say trying to act normal and not snobby or mean in anyway.

"Pretty name for a pretty girl." He says. Wow typical thing for any player to say, but I fight the urge to roll my eyes and fake smile. "I'm Brett, are you new here?" He asks and I nod my head. "let me see your schedule." He said and I handed it to him.

He looks at it and smiles brightly. "Looks like we have most of our classes together!" He exclaims.

I smile back, I need friends at this school, right? So, this Brett guy will be my first and probably the only friend at this dump. "Okay, let's get to class then, shall we?" I start walking, then realize I have no idea where to go. I look back at him and smile sheepishly "Um where is the class?" I ask and he laughs at me.

"Come on, I'll escort you mi'lady." I chuckle and follow him to our first class.

My first two classes were boring, but when 3rd period came around finally something happened.

We were about twenty minutes into the lesson and this guy with dirty blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes walks in. I will admit that he is good looking, but I get this weird vibe from this dude.

The teacher clears her throat "Nice of you to join us, Mr. Myers." Miss Polding says coldly.

"At least I'm here, right Martha?" He smirks at Miss Polding and her face turns bright red in anger. I try not to laugh, so I just look out the window.

That guy sits in the back with me, but he's about 4-5 seats away from me. I look over at Brett and he has a scowl on his face. I guess I'll ask him about it during lunch.

I followed Brett into the cafeteria, while we are getting our food, I look over at Brett. "You know you don't have to hang out with me if you don't want to.".

He shakes his head, chuckling. "You are probably one of the nicest girls at this school, I wouldn't give up a new best friend like you." He smiles at me and I smile back. I guess this school isn't that bad.

We sit down near the "popular" table and I look at Brett "What was that scowl on your face when that guy walked in?" I ask getting straight to the point.

"That's the notorious Ashton Myers. He is the stereotypical 'bad boy' of this school. He just gets on my nerves, that's all." He says and I nod my head.

While we are eating in silence, this blonde girl started talking to Ashton about me. "That new girl Marie is such a tramp, huh? I can't believe she already got Brett wrapped around her finger." She tells the table and they start laughing.

Another girl starts talking. "I don't know who she thinks she is. She acts so confidently, but we all know she's going to get with every boy in this stupid school." They all laugh at what she says, other than Ashton.

I take a deep breath trying to ignore them, but they keep talking about me. I look at Brett and plaster a fake smile on my face. "I will be right back, I have to go to the bathroom," I say and he nods his head while stuffing his face.

My breathing gets heavy as I walk into the bathroom and I can't control myself anymore.
