The last year

A Cast out: Chapter one

I wake up to my annoying alarm at 5:30 am. I am not a morning person, though I do try to be one. Today, I am on chose duty so after I get out of bed, I make sure my room and the house in general are tidy before I go down to make breakfast.

When everything is done, I go back to my room, take a shower then get dressed for school, and when I am ready, I sit on my neatly made bed and think. 'School', I dread it. My middle and high school days have been the worst in my life. Every moment of it has been tragic and I even have the scars to prove it. My only saving grace has been my high enough IQ and that's the only reason I have not quit yet.

To think that this is my last year is a mighty big relief. All I want at this point is to leave high school and all its drama.

"Charlotte!" I hear my mom call.

"Yes Ma?" I shout back.

"Let's go, or you will be late."

I take a deep breath and drag myself up, back to school, back to misery. The vacation was fun while it lasted.

..........................

"Have a nice day honey and try to make some friends this year." She smiles. She says it like its an easy thing to do. Little does she know that i am a plague around here?

Not wanting to argue "I'll try." I reply. Her smile is lost as she looks upon my 'less than amused to be back to school face.'

"Honey," she says with concern," don't hesitate to call me for anything." This time she has a serious expression, a worried one and I don't want her to worry. She knows a little about my school struggles because she has been called in once or twice by the principle. She does not know to what extent though.

So i put on a fake smile to calm her down. "I'll be fine." I try to reassure her. I can see she isnt buying it but still seems to accept it. As long I can avoid everyone especially Tyler Hunter, his goons and Bianca and her minions. I just pray they forget I exist.

I wave as my mom drives off. Suddenly Im overwhelmed by sadness. All I want is to jump back in and go home with her but I need an education more, its the only gateway to University and achieving my dreams.

I turn to look at sly view elite high, a prestigious school for the rich, one of the best schools in the entire state and the best school in sly view which also happens to be my ultimate hell.

I am early and not many people are here. Good, I don't want to be noticed anyway. but even then the few people around are already talking in whispers and some are even pointing at me. oh well I guess this year wont be any different, evidently I will remain friendless.

As I approach the entrance, I hear from behind me, extreme loud music coming from the car pack. I turn just in time to see a black convertible jeep, slide into its usual slot.

'Oh no', i am not ready. For a brief second i am in panic mode. 'My life is over.'

Jasper, Blake and Ryan jump out of the jeep and Tyler since being the driver steps out last.

He looks, 'oh lord', my miner panic attack seizes and is replaced by a different but very familiar feeling. "Holly hell" i matter in an undertone. I cant get my stupid, deluded eyes off him. How did he manage to get hotter in such a short amount of time? Sometimes I forget how attractive he is. I am so caught up staring that I do not notice the she devil behind him. Seeing her pull him down for a kiss pulls me back to reality and amplifies another feeling in me. I look away. I guess his back together with Bianca and they are back at their never ending PDA. I really need to get over him because this is just ridiculous and not healthy at all. Whats wrong with me? I'm supposed to hate him. He has caused me too much pain and besides, they deserve each other anyway. Before any of them notice me I quickly walk into school.
