.........Hello...........Can you hear me................Please help me.................Please......Help......
*BEEP BEEP*

"Another nightmare.."
I feel my body drenched in sweat. Great. I sigh loudly. I get out of bed and walk to my closet. I pick out a simple red hoodie and blue jeans. I quickly get dressed and make my way downstairs into the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face, although I still have a bunch of acne.
"Breakfast is ready!!!" I hear my mom call out. I ignore her.
I'm still pretty tired. Then again I'm always tired.
I walk out of the bathroom.
"I called you why didn't you answer me?" My mom asks.
"Oh I couldn't hear you." I lie.
"Are you hungry?"
"No I'm good." I lie again.
"I have to go now or I'm gonna be late."
"Ok. Bye sweetie. I love you."
"Bye Mom." I say while walking out the door.
As soon as I'm far from the house I take out a cigarette and light it. I inhale the smoke. It's burns so bad. I keep doing it though.
Today is my first day of high school. I'm hoping it will be better than middle school. I throw the finished cigarette on the floor and stomp it out.
I walk into the gates.
ON SPEAKER: ALL STUDENTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE MPR TO GET YOUR SCHEDULES.
I walk over to the MRP (Also known as the cafeteria). I see a lady passing out papers. I walk over to her.
"Oh! Hello darling! Are ya here to get your schedule?" She says.
"Um yeah."
"What's your name sweetheart?"
"Uh Roxi. Roxi Campbell."
"Roxi Campbell, Roxi Campbell, Oh! Are you a freshman?"
"Uh yeah"
"Well welcome to Lake Middle High! We welcome everyone here! So if you ever feel like your alone, your not!" She says as she hands me my schedule.
"Umm thanks? I guess."
"No problem honey!"
I take my schedule and sit at an empty table. I hear people laughing and talking. I wish I could smile like them.
"Who's that girl over there?" I hear someone say.
"I don't know?" I hear someone else say.
I know right away there talking about me. Even though the don't say my name.
"She look lonely. We should talk to her."
"Ugh fine."
Great. Now there coming over to make fun of me.
"Um hello?" The first girl says.
"...."
"Hey you looked lonely and-"
No. Not now. Please not now. I feel hot tears swell up in my eyes. Slowly they start to make way down my face and onto the paper. I put my hands up to my face and start sobbing. Now everyone is gonna think I'm a crybaby. It's not like I wanted to cry. I just can't control myself. I forgot to take those damn pills this morning. I hate those pills.
"Are you ok?" The second girl asks.
I quickly wipe my tears and say," I-I'm f-fine." My hands start shaking.
Here comes my best friend, Anxiety. I forgot to take those pills too. Damn pills.
I run to the bathroom before this could get any worse. I hide in one of the stalls crying unaware of the other girls that followed me.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Um hello we're sorry."
It's those girls again. Great.
"W-who's t-there?"
"Umm, well my name is Susan. And my friend here is Vicky." "We're sorry for making you cry."
"Oh um it's ok."
"You left your backpack and we wanted to bring it to you."
I open the stall door slowly and peek out. Susan is tall, about 5'7. She is wearing a sea-green top with a black tank top, bleach ripped shorts, a light blue flower crown, and black high-tops. Vicky looks the exact opposite. She is about 5'4. She is wearing a black MCR hoodie, some dark blue ripped jeans, and checkerd shoes.

"U-uh h-i-..."
I take my backpack from Susan.
"T-thanks..."
"Are you ok? Your voice is a little shaky." Susan says.
"Yeah it is." Vicky says right after.
Fuck. They noticed. I try to hold back my tears but the just keep coming.
"We're sorry! Please don't cry!"
Susan hugs me.
She feels...
Warm.
I hug back crying into her shoulder. Vicky just stands there. Awkwardly.
Yes I know this chapter is short now leave me alone.
