WYNONNA

Today was the first day back at school after her last trip to juvie. She hated it already but had promised Waverly that she was going to finish the year, she was going to graduate and try and stay in as little trouble as she possibly could, which Wynonna had always found difficult. She was going to try though. Really try. For Waverly.

Waverly had rushed her out of bed two hours before school even started to make sure that she was up and ready for the new school year. She then made them leave the house half an hour before school to take the 5 minute drive. So now they were sitting in the parking lot out front of Purgatory High, 20 minutes before first class just so Waverly could keep an eye on her. It was kind of cute of her but also thoroughly annoying.

"So what classes have you got today?" Waverly asked her, Wynonna knew that Waverly had her time table for the year memorised but offered up the answer anyway to show she was on top of it.

"English, Politics then a free and finish on double psychology" Waverly pulled one of the biggest smiles at her showing Wynonna how proud of her she was.

Waverly was one of the sweetest, kind hearted people that Wynonna had ever met but along with Wynonna's awful reputation and the problems they had had with their farther and older sister Willa, Waverly had had a lot of trouble growing up. She still, however managed to smile through the day, be head cheer leader, top of all her classes and now the most popular girl in her year.

"And what time are you meeting your tutor to help you catch up with the stuff that you missed last year?" Wynonna noticed the sadness in her voice as she muttered the last words, Waverly not wanting to talk much about her time in juvie.

"Straight after my last class, meeting in the library. The school has assigned me a girl in my year, don't remember what they said her name was, definitely not one that I recognised, bet she has been a nerd since we started school."

Waverly scowled at her then "Don't be mean to the girl" Wynonna rolled her eyes at Waverly,

"Me mean? You've offended me baby girl"

"Wynonna please, she is helping you out, don't ruin it. If you want to graduate at the end of the year then you need this girls help."

"I know baby girl, I do. I'm going to try my hardest to not be mean, I promise".

Waverly looked at her sceptically, but took Wynonna's word for it, for now.

"Come on we better head to class nonna! Have a good day and I will see you at lunch. I love you"

"I love you too baby girl".

With that the two girls parted ways to go to their first class.

Wynonna went straight to class, keeping her head down and ignoring the whispers and stares she was getting as she walked down the corridor. She knew school was going to be like this, in a small town like Purgatory, people talk, they love the gossip. Everyone knows everyone's business, it has always been like that and stories, however true they are, get spread around this place like wildfire. Wynonna had got used to ignoring it so she walked to her class, keeping herself to herself, how she was going to be all year.

Her first two classes dragged, she sat at the back, took notes and kept as quiet as she possibly could. Occasionally Miss Jones would call on her in English to answer a question because she hadn't thought that Wynonna had be paying attention, but Wynonna answered the question, quickly with ease and then put her head back down, she had always hated Miss Jones.

Wynonna spent her free period at the back of the field behind a tree where no one ever went. She sat reading a book that she had stolen from Waverly's bookcase. She loved reading, stories took her away from the shitty life that she had, from the nightmare family (except from Waverly), from the awful kids at her school, from the screams in her head that she just wanted to let out. She had never told anyone that she liked reading though, not even Waverly. Stories were hers, she didn't want to share them with anyone, not even her baby sister. She spent the hour at the back of the field by herself reading her book in her own little world.

When the bell went, she jumped slightly. It was time to head to lunch and if Waverly didn't see her at lunch, her phone would explode with calls and texts from her sister to see where she was. So she gathered up her stuff and headed straight to the cafeteria to get some food. She hoped they had donuts.

Wynonna had forgotten how awful school lunches were, almost as crappy as the shit they got a juvie. She wat at the back table by herself swirling her food around on the plate and not actually eating it. That's when Waverly sat down next to her giving her an awkward sideways hug.

"Hey Nonna, how's your day been so far"

"It's been fine baby girl"

"That's all I am going to get"

"It was amazeballs" Wynonna said back in a sarcastic high pitch voice.

"You don't need to be like that Wynonna"

"I know I'm sorry, just forgot how much this placed sucked and "

With that Waverly's friends, Chrissy, Steph, Rosita and Jeremy asking her to join them on their normal table of the cafeteria. Waverly looked at Wynonna and then back at her friends

"I think I'm going to sit here today guys"

Rosita and Jeremy, nodded and smiled walking away to their table. Chrissy gave the sisters a weird look and headed off after the other two.

"If you sit with her it's going to ruin your reputation here Waves" snarled Steph.

"Steph shut up and go away" Waverly bit back.

"No baby girl, she's right, you should go with your friends. People don't like me, that's fine but they love you so don't ruin it."

Waverly gave her sister a said look and knew that there was no way that her sister was going to let her stay so she stood up with a sad smile and headed to her table, she quickly turned back

"I will wait for you after cheer practice and give you a lift home after your tutoring, love you Nonna"

"Love you too baby girl".

And just like that Wynonna was alone again, she couldn't wait for her next lesson to start, the quicker it started, the quicker it would be over. She ate her food, or as much of it as she could stomach, before heading back to her tree for the rest of lunch.

She struggled through her double psychology but finally the bell rung and it was the end of school, even if she did have to go meet this tutor chick, at least the rest of the students wouldn't still be here.

She went straight to the library to find her tutor and get this over and done with so she could head home, eat and sleep.
