6:30 my alarm clock rang. I jolted awake. I rubbed my eyes as I sat up. Why do I even wake up so early if I don't have to leave for another hour? "Laura!!!!" My mom yelled. Ah that's why.

"I'm up!" I yelled back. I get up and go towards my closet. I just moved to this new town or city and I'm going to a knew school. I wouldn't have to if my parents didn't travel all the time. My dad was recently transferred here in Cali as for my mom, she has a branch in New York. All the way across the country. As for me, I practically live alone.

I finally decided on a nice tee with the words 'I am me' written across the chest with dark skinny jeans and black and white converse. I added a short vest. I placed the clothes over my body. I like it. I placed the clothes on my bed and then headed for my bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth.

I finished curling my hair and I thought I looked really cute. I not much of a makeup girl but I do wear eyeliner and light lipstick. Lip gloss most of the time. Today is gonna a good day. I feel it. I looked at the time. 7:20. I got time to spare. I made my bed and cleaned my room then went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning sweetie." My mon said as she placed a kiss on my head. "Good morning." I say as she placed a plate of eggs, toast,and sausage in front of me. "Are you excited for today?" She asked. "What's there to be excited about? I left my old school and my friends because you and dad are always traveling and moving places." I say. "Honey. You know were only doing our job. If moving is part of it, then so be it." She said. "But what about my happiness? I'm practically starting over almost every other year." I say. "I know how you feel. But we have to do what's best for our family. We need to take care of you." She said rubbing my cheek. "I understand but can you talk to me next time there's a new job offer?" I ask. She nods and smiles. "Of course." She said. "You promise?" I ask. "Yes. I promise." She said. I nod and then start eating. She starts cracking jokes. I chuckle. I'm sure she's doing it just so she won't feel bad about me being sad.

After breakfast, I hug my mom and take my car keys. "Thanks for breakfast." I smile. "It's my job." She laugs. I chuckle. "Alright. See you tonight." I say. She nods. She will be working until later tonight but she's still around unlike dad. I start the car and make my way towards school.

I stepped out of my car and everyone was giving me looks. "Who is she?" Some girls mumbled. I ignored and locked my car. I then put my keys in my purse and made my way into the school. As if waiting for me, a lady motions me over.
"You must be Laura." She smiled. "That's me." I say. She tells me to follow her into a room. I do so. "Here is you locker number, combination, and schedule. Your counseler is Mrs.Petty. If you need any help please ask her." She said all in one breath. I smile kindly and take it. "Thank you." I say. "Your locker is on the 3rd floor so I will let you take the elevator but sh...the kids will think I'm playing favorites." She smiled. She walked me over and then opened the elevator. She pressed the number 3 then smiled as she left me in it. I smile at her as the doors close.

I walked to my locker and there were 3 guys there. I slowly approached. One guy was against my locker. They didn't seem to notice I was there I guess. I put my schedule in my bag and then softly cleared my throat. "Excuse me." I say. They all look at me funny. "Your on my locker." I say softly averting their gazes. "Whom may you be?" A brunette asked me. "Laura." I say. "You must be new." A black haired said. "I am." I say. I was shaking. "Well let's welcome you to the school." The brunette said and grabbed me. I was pinned against the locker. "Are you nervous?" He smirked. Someone help me. "Aww are you going to cry?" The blonde teased. My tears started to well up as the one guy snatched my bag.

"Please...don't!" I say. They all look at me. I freeze as the dude's face came close to mine. "Stop." I say. "Aww look at you. Your like a little cold puppy." He chuckled. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. They laughed as they seen me struggle. Suddenly, it grew quiet. "Jackson." A dirty blonde boy said. The guy pinning me released me. The other guys gave me my bag. "Leave." He said. They all quickly left. He looked at me through dark shades. I couldn't speak. I wanted to call out but nothing came to mind. He nodded his head and then walked away. Who was that guy?
