In my shoes.
I walk down the streets, i'm looking completely awful with my tears down my chins, and my hair is in a messy ponytail. I look down on myself my jeans are ripped, and my t-shirt is black there's written 'love sucks'. I kept looking down on the pavement, trying to avoid people's strange glance at me. I keep my eyes on the sidewalk, I suddenly bump into a boy with black hair and piercing blue eyes, and I look up at him, he smiles. I apologize and tries to go around him, he takes hold of my arm and I look at him, then he says "I need company, would you like to join me" I said "yes" he took my hand. I followed him without knowing where he's going, I quickly regret saying yes to his offer, cause I don't know this stranger, who he is or what he wants. But I kept following him down to this alley, I can suddenly feel my heart starts beating faster, maybe this was a mistake I thought and bite my lip nervously. He finally looks up at me and notice my fluffy eyes and the mascara that's running down my face, "Rough day?" he says and uses his hand to remove my tears. "More like rough life" I reply icy and he nods "I know what you mean", I fake a smile and none of us speaks after that. "So what's your name?" he asks me and I replied "Cassandra, what's yours? or do you want me to continue to call you stranger?" he laughs and sarcastically says "I'm Eli, but stranger is actually my middle name" I laugh at his sarcasm. My phone start ringing out of nowhere, I didn't feel like answering but sees that it was my mom, "I should probably go home" I say and try to fix my face, since all my crying ruined it. "Okay, nice talking to you Cassandra, I'd see you soon?" he said and I ran off to take the bus, I doubt it, this may be a small town but there's no way I'll ever meet him again I think to myself.
I went on the bus and waited to the last stop, right where I live. I ran across the street and notices that my parent's car is in the driveway shit!, I try to sneak myself into the backyard, but I hear barks coming my way Fucking dogs!, they attack me and lick my entire face. My parents comes running out of the house and instant sees me "Where have you been young lady?" my moms yells and my dad tries to calm her down, but it's no use the woman is crazy. "I was at Lindsey's house and .." I try to explain but my mom continuously interrupts me "Stop lying Cassandra Everylin Russo, I talked to Lindsey's mother and you weren't there" shit shit shit I'm so busted fml? I thought. "I'm sorry Cassandra, but you're grounded for now" my dad says and follows my mother back to the house, I went straight to my room after that, grounded means no social life, aren't I a loser already why are they making my life worse. I was exhausted, so I fell quickly asleep.
My alarm goes out it's 07:10 already, which means school woah great. I hear my mom knocking on the door "Get up, it's Monday" like I didn't already know that, I walked to my closet to find something to wear, I picked out a pair of black skinny jeans and a cool band t-shirt along with a grey hoodie, that's should be okay I guess. I run downstairs to get a apple, I'm not in the mood for cereal today. I tie my converse and grab my bag pack"Goodbye mom & day" I yell before running out the door, I plugged my iPod earphones and start listening to some music, I go on the school bus and sits in the back for myself. "LOST IN STEREO, OHH OH" I sing way to loud and notices that everyone is starring at me how embarrassing, if only I would have sung that inside of my head.
