Amber's POV
Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiing.
My phone rings on my clean bedside table. The rest of my house is a mess because my mother kind of let herself go. She's mad all the time. And there's no stopping her.
I pick up my phone to see who is calling me.
Grace 😒
"Oh my god Grace! Leave me alone!" I yell after answering the call.
"What did I do!?" She says.
"Everything!!!" I hang up the call and set my phone back on the table.
I look over at my clock and it reads 4:17 A.M.
She called me at 4:17 A.M!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Uuuggghh.

Me- Don't call me at four in the morning!!!
Grace 😒- Why not! You're always up by now!
Me- Idc!!! Just don't!!!
I set the phone back down and heave a sigh.
I absolutely hate Grace. She is my one and only enemy.
I'm pretty much the tiny nerd at my high school. I'm only in 10th grade but I'm extremely abused by my mother. Ever since my father cheated on her, she has become a drunk, addicted to crack, and is always, and I mean, always, mad at me for no reason.
School is the only place I can escape to but I only have a few friends. Losing Grace means I now only have two friends. One of them doesn't even go to my school, but he works at Starbucks with me. His name is Andrew. I call him Andy. Everyone does.
My other friend is Matthew. He has been my best friend since we were six. I go to him for everything like my crushes, my problems, no matter what he will always listen. He comes to me for a lot and I give him my all.
My father was amazing. He was always there for me when I needed him. My parents were the nicest people I knew. Then my father did something unforgivable. Now all I have is a messy mansion. I don't know how mother pays it off.
She doesn't.
I do.
It's a shame that I have to do that. She doesn't make any money and I make $10 to $15 an hour. My mother steals my money. And yet I still have enough to buy makeup but only because it costs less then $9. There's no point in wearing it anyway, because my face is always covered by my hood. So I just stopped buying it. My hoodie is oversized, long enough to reach my mid-thigh. So my shorts don't show, just the remaining ripped ends.
I always wear shorts. Even though it shows my scars and bruises, I don't care. I have long, smooth legs, so like I always say, 'If you've got it, you must flaunt it.'
I just don't flaunt anything else. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's just the way I am.
I can't call the cops on my mother because I love her...in a way.
Never mind.
I am hating her. She hurts me so bad. Ever since father cheated on her. Since my twin sister, Ashlynn, died of Pneumonia. Mother and father cared about Ashlynn and did anything they could to help her. They cared about her and I but that went away for me after her death. They were never happy since. Not even with me. I think it's because I look exactly like her. But I have changed since then. Why can't she let it go after all this time?
I'm dreading today. I don't want to face anyone but I have to if I want good grades. My locker is always occupied by the most popular guy in school.
Christopher.
He's the player. The jock. He's always making out with a random girl in front of someone's locker. I just happen to be the owner of said locker every time. His four minions also have kitties of their own.
One of the guys' names is Mason. He's not so innocent like me. He's more like Chris. His kitty used to be my best friend. Nichole betrayed me. It's not that I don't like Mason, it's just that I don't want anything to do with either of them.
The other one is Cameron. He is in the middle of Chris and I. Cam's both of our friends. He's not so much my friend though, just a little. We get along from time to time, until Chris interrupts us because apparently, Cam's not allowed to be friends with anyone else.
Nathaniel is almost an exact replica of Chris. Sharp jawline. Dark eyes. Dark brown hair. Even the clothes are almost exactly alike. Considering the fact that they wear all black, all the time. Nate also acts exactly like Chris. I hate both.
And there's Daniel. The annoying brat. He is the lowest 'rank' of the group. He also acts like Chris with his kitties. Let's just say that his catnip is alluring to them. Eww.
All in all, almost all, are extremely annoying.
Today is going to be just great...
(Being completely sarcastic^)

Do you think Amber will survive today? Do you think she will make it past her mother without a fresh cut or bruise?
I hope she will!
