Chapter 1
This Apple Pie Life.
The young girl sat in class, staring blankly ahead as her math teacher blabbered on about exponents and other pointless mathematic expressions. Most things were pointless to this young lady, especially school. Why couldn't she be out, exploring the world, meeting amazing people? The thought of her dreary and repetitive existance made her depressed. I wish something interesting would happen to me she thought sadly. "Alright, so now moving onto logarithms," she heard her teacher say. The teenager sat up abruptly and tried to focus on the lesson. As she assumed the note taking position she tried to listen and understand what her teacher was saying. After a few moments of concentration she concluded it was too late; she was lost. Her teacher might as well have been speaking a foreign language. She gave up with a sigh and tossed her pencil on her desk. She crossed her arms and leaned back. She was at the mercy of her thoughts now.
As she sat there, the young lady remembered the arguement about religion that she had earlier with her father. She was very unsure about her faith and god. The teenager was a realist, and she found it hard to believe and accept the things that her family did. She envied pure belief and her doubts weighed heavily on her heart. She then found that she was unconsciencely braiding and unbraiding her long wavy blonde hair. She heard the jingle of a bracelet on her wrist and looked to examine it. It was a beautiful silver bracelet that her Great Grandmother gave her just before she died, about 2 weeks ago. It had beautiful little charms and she hadn't taken it off since her Great Grandmother passed away.
With that thought, the bell rang, making the young lady jump to gather her things. Thank God she thought to herself as she packed up her binder and headed to her locker. After finding her way through a maze of young people, she finally made it to her locker. She bent down with a sigh, and started fiddling with the lock to get it open. Of course I get the jammed, bottom locker, it's not like I'm 6ft, she thought sarcasticly.
As soon as the young lady opened her locker, she got a surprise hug/tackle from behind. Startled, she turned around to find her friend Melanie smirking. "YOU JERK, you made me shut my locker again!" she said as she bent down and went to work on opening her locker for a second time. "Well excuse me Sofia," said Melanie sarcastically, "So are you still down for the party tonight?" Sofia then heard the satisfying click of the lock opening and shoved all her books into the locker. She stood up and put her hands on Melanie's shoulders, "Dude, of course I'm down. It's a Friday! Anyways, I really need to do something fun."
"Okay," said Melanie, "It just seems like you're really down lately. I was just making sure." Sofia smiled at her friend. She'd known Melanie since her first day at this highschool 3 years ago. Sofia was new, and Melanie was one of the only people that would talk to her. She was lucky to have such an awesome person in her life. Melanie was a few inches shorter than Sofia, with pale skin, curly brown hair and brown eyes. Sofia on the other hand was very tall, at 6 feet, with long blonde hair that she had been growing out for a while now. She was finally satisfied with the length as it went to her waist. She also had light skin with bright blue eyes.
"Yeah, I've been feeling a little bored lately, but I think this party will help. I just think I need a little fun," said Sofia.
"Well then my lady, I do believe this party with liven up your life a bit," Melanie said in a mock English accent, making Sofia laugh, "So shall we go to lunch?
"Oh, I was just gonna go home. I'm really tired of being at school," said Sofia.
"What? You're gonna skip 4th period again? Are you sure nothings wrong?"
"No, seriously, I'm fine. I just really want to go home. Also, I hate Mr. Ellis. No way I'm gonna sit through that class today. I'll just see you later. Alright?"
"Alright..." said Melanie. Sofia then turned to walk away. "I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 11," she yelled. Sofia gave her a thumbs up and kept walking. She then left school and followed the path home. Along the way, she saw a couple making out. This made her think of her love life, or lack there of. She hadn't even had her first kiss yet, and she was a junior in highschool. The sad thing is that she was actually 18 years old, but had to repeat the 3rd grade because of all the moving her family did throughout her childhood. It's not that she was stupid, it was just that when you move around so much, it's hard to keep up or have any inspiration to do good in school.
After a 20 minute walk, Sofia finally made it home to her house. She took out her key and unlocked the door. Once she looked around, she saw nobody was home. "Yes!" she said as she ran up the stairs, passing her older brothers room. She stopped and looked in, slightly saddened. She and her brother Andrew were very close, but then he went off to college, leaving her all alone with her parents. With that somber thought she went into her room and shut the door. She threw her stuff on the bed and then saw her cat laying on her pillow. Sofia then went on the computer for the next couple of hours.
After a few hours on the computer she heard her parents open the front door of her house. Sofia checked the clock on her computer. It was 7:30. She went to meet her parents. "Hey Guys," She said, "What are we doing for dinner?" Her Dad ignored her and walked up the stairs to his room. Sofia tried to ignore the terrible feeling and tears that were building up. She decided that he was still probably mad about the fight they had earlier.
"Oh well you're gonna have to make you're own. Me and you're father are going out with Steve and Andrea tonight." Her mom answered. Sofia looked down at her hands. Wonderful she thought. "We're gonna go get ready. Will you be okay making you're own dinner?" she asked. Well I kinda have to be, don't I she thought sarcasticly to herself. "Yeah. I'll be fine," she then turned and went back up to her room. Alright, so now I don't feel bad at all about sneaking out tonight, she thought as she picked up her guitar and started strumming absent-mindedly.
After her parents left and she finished up a few more things on the computer, she decided it was time to get ready. Feeling a bit more confident and rebellious then usual, she threw on a mini-sequenced skirt with a lowcut pink top and high heels. Sofia put on some makeup and her favorite perfume and checked to make sure her bracelet was on. Sofia normally didn't dress like this, but, what the hell, she thought, might as well have some fun. By the time she was done, she checked her clock. It was 11 on the dot. Sofia ran down the stairs and out the door to find Melanie waiting in her car. "So you're parents don't know you're going, right?" Melanie asked as Sofia got in. "Nope, and they don't care anyways," Sofia said as she buckled her seatbelt. "Alrighty then, Let's go!"
