Chapter 1

Am I human? Brought into the world to discover my own knowledge that we live in today? Walking to school I don't feel the brightest. Doesn't help my moms lame boyfriend has to announce everyday that "we're moving next month and all of our stuff better be packed up by then or its getting thrown out!". 

Who am I? A lonely teenage girl who gets put down by pretty much everyone around me in my life. My mom yells at me everyday if I take too long to pour a bowl of cereal. Her boyfriend.. 

.. Please what isn't he yelling about? A minute late from my curvue or if I walk away from the tv for a minute to grab some more orange juice. Then my 3 older brother dumb, dumber and dummy. Alex, Adam and Riley. They believe what i'm going to college for is pointless. Cosmotology is what I signed up for I don't let their words pass by me it may seem impossible but its not that hard to get by when I have my phone, some weed and a book to read late at night or taking a simple walk to the park before school to deal with the drama and bullshit at High School. Just super am I right? 


I walk past the school with 45 minutes to spare. Smoke time! Stoping as the cars pass by people heading to work only to complain about it when they drive home picking up dinner on the run like an everyday schedule. Whatever. Crossing the street I take my headphones off entering the park walking a long trail. I smile. Putting my backpack down I sit down playing music, lighting my joint and reading the next chapter to my book. A cheerful expression I almost want to sit here all day and do this. No School. No Home. This would be the way to go. Perfectly relaxed its interupted with my phone ringing. Annoyed I answer 


"Hey pot head! Don't want us telling mom you smoke weed and try and skip school? Then get your ass to school" Riley yells over the phone. He laughs. Quickly I stand up, putting out the joint putting that and my book and my headphones back into my backpack. Spray some perfume and chew a shit load of gum. I look around to sight my brothers spying on me. Nothing so how do they know? I didn't tell them obviously! I have 1 friend in school and she doesn't know I do this every morning...

... Lame brothers they never back off my ass. They make my life shitty. Yet my mother doesn't believe a word that comes out of my mouth. She doesn't even tell me she loves me. I do but don't get a response just the look of confusion then I hear 

"The only person you're mother loves in the world is me. Understand me little girl?! Don't make me say it again." I grab my backpack walking to the school before my brothers really do find me here. Arriving at the school I sigh with anger wanting this day to be over. Walking inside I try and avoid the cheerleading team since they don't let up on my very easily either. No one in the school does. 

"Hey! Ty over here!" a voice announces to me. Looking to my left. Ah Brianna my good and only friend I have in this school.

"Hello Brianna. Please don't yell my name. I try to avoid ya know everyone in this school until atleast lunch time" I say quietly to her

"Oh yeah. Sorry. So senior year your lucky. I have 3 years left in this hell before I graduate." she said then she laughs. Nervously.

"Yeah I remember my 1st year here. I saw potential, faith." I said closing my locker looking back at Brianna

"Then what happened?" she asked me. She gives me a look of concern yet joy 

"I remembered my 3 older brothers also go to this school too." I said then my smile vanishes. Since being in this school they have done nothing but left me in the deep darkness a high school can offer. I was on the cheerleading team, and the swimming team until rumours gone around. I had a boyfriend. Andrew. He was everything. He was...the light in my life a purpose for me to smile everyday. Then rumours went around now he looks at me like i'm a monster. What happened? What did my brothers say to him to just vanish like that? He didn't even really break up with me he just stopped talking to me, texting me, calling me. Now he's gone....
