Flashbacks...
Chapter 1
I Wake up to the sound of rain batting against my window, making the little drop sounds they usually do during fall making the streets even gloomier then they usually are. I turn over facing my alarm clock to find it's only 5 in the morning, I groan wishing I could learn how to sleep longer. Knowing I won't be able to fall back asleep I pull myself out of bed pushing the blanket back, I head downstairs jumping onto the couch wondering if any good cartoons actually could be on. I grab the remote turning the TV on and yay SpongeBob is on, my mind trails off to the first time I watched SpongeBob.
Flashback to when they were 9...
"Move over!" I scream at Justin "you take up enough room already" I tease him "hey watch it Mack", I stick my tongue out "what you wanna watch" he asked me turning his attention back to the TV "how about a show about a sponge" I say sarcastically "ok" "there's a show about a sponge?" he nods "this should be interesting" I say leaning back on his couch.
End of flashback...
Man we were so little then I think after getting off the couch to get some cereal, I grab the bowl and cereal pouring it in then filling it with milk, walking back over I grab a spoon and sit back down curling up.
After a an hour I put my dishes in the sink then walking up the stairs, I go into my room locking the door to make sure my pesky brother won't be able to get in. My IPhone goes off as I turn around and I walk to it picking it up, I check the message.
Renee: Hey almost ready?
Me: Dude it's 7 I have time
Renee: OK whatever you say see u at school
Me: See u then freak
Renee: Watch it
Me: Bye now
And that's how our usual conversation goes.
I grab an old pair of ripped skinny jeans and an old pink Floyd t-shirt, I throw on a sweater then my skate shoes. I look in the mirror and role my eyes I'm a poor excuse for a girl I think looking at myself, my phone goes off again.
Justin: Hey
Me: OH finally a text saying hey ;)
Justin: Almost ready remember I've got tryouts
Me: Right meet me at my front in 10
Justin: Always, see u then Mack
I grab my skateboard running out the door "Mackayla!" I hear my mom scream turning around "what are you wearing?" "Clothes mom" she shakes her head at me and walks back up the stairs, I open the door stepping out seeing Justin waiting at the end of the sidewalk. I jump on my skateboard riding down to him "hey" "took you long enough" I push him playfully "whatever pretty boy" I say riding off I hear his skateboard close behind me.
We reach the school around 8 I see Renee waiting on her phone of course I think, "Sup" I say reaching her jumping off my skateboard and holding it to my side, "come on were gonna be late" I just roll my eyes and walk into the school with Renee since Justin has tryouts. "So what you doing this year" I say reaching our lockers "not sure yet" she says putting her books in her bags "you?" She asks me "as usual nothing" "why don't you try out for chorus this year?" my eyes look down "no".
Flashback to when she was 11
Me and my dad were singing into spoons as we cooked dinner for mom and Jamie well they were out, "If you liked it then you should a put a ring on it!" we kept singing single ladies as we stirred the pasta. We finished singing and started laughing "Mackayla what an angel of a daughter I have" I just laugh "only because of you!" "can you go grab the sauce from the cupboard" I nod going towards the cupboard. I smell smoke and turn towards my dad "Dad!" he turns around "what?" I point my finger to the stove which was now catching fire, I scream as the fire grows bigger he runs towards me "come on!" he yells grabbing my hand pulling me to the window, because the fire was now on the floor he lifts me up and I crawl out still holding his hand I try pulling him up but he falls back into the fire...
End of flashback
I remember the promise I made later that night, I would never sing again.
"Come on please" "I said no Renee!" she wasn't here when I was 11 she still doesn't know, "I've got to get to class" I say swinging my bag over my shoulder she frowns and heads the other direction going to her class.
2nd period
A crackle comes over the speakers during English, the teacher motions quiet so we can hear the announcement "Hello kids! It's a new year and that means new students!" he says perky like always "So to give a welcoming were having a meeting in the gym after lunch so we can all get to know 1 another see you all there then". I roll my eyes then continue my class.
Lunch
Me, Justin and Renee sit under our tree eating lunch "I wonder who the new freaks will be this year" Justin says taking a bite of his sandwich, Renee looks at him "so that's what you guys called me a few years again?" She says a little hurt, "yup" I mutter spinning my wheel on my skateboard "well then" she says eating a brownie "good to know" she says with her mouth full of it. The bell goes off meaning for everyone to now meet at the field to meet the new kids "this should be fun" I say putting a piece of gum in my mouth "agreed" Justin mutters walking with me and Renee to the field, we take a seat near the front so we can get a good view of the new freaks I sit between Justin and Renee because for some reason they don't exactly have a liking to each other. Principal Reynolds walks up to the stage which they put on the field for the meeting today clearly, there's around 6 new kids with him 2 girls and 4 guys. "Hello kids after I finish talking you'll have the rest of today to mingle out here with refreshments and snacks just so we can all settle in to each other's company for the rest of the year" he says looking at us, he introduces everybody "this is Violet" he says pointing to the first girl with light brown hair she waves at us. He introduces the rest to us then after we all get up and just talk I guess, I see Violet off to the edge standing there looking lost "look at her" I say nodding my head to her they just shrug and then after the rest of school hours we finally are set free.
Me and Justin grab our boards and bags then walk out with them, Renee's off somewhere with her other friends and me and Justin head to the park like usual. "So what homework you get this time" he says sitting down on the bench, I sit next to him "none luckily you?" I ask he holds up a zero, "ok that gives us time to skate" I say pointing to the skate park "you're on" we drop our bags down and head to the skate park...
