"This is so gross," I said as my dad pulled his car under the Easton Academy archway.
I couldn't believe my dad is making me go to a boarding school. Didn't nerds and school-focused geeks go to boarding schools? Is that what he wanted me to become? I mean, why else would he take me away from my friends, family, and most importantly my boyfriend of two years? I sighed as I thought of Zack. I was also envious of him though. He was probably surfing at The Hot Spot. The Hot Spot was one of our favorite beaches in Cali. I used to sun bathe while watching him surf. After that he would usually drive us to L. A. for shopping.
My dad replied, "You brought this upon yourself."
"How the hell did I do that?"
"Well you're cussing like crazy now, you were caught shoplifting-"
"Umm, hello, I wouldn't have had to shoplift those earrings if you bought them for me."
"Who buys five thousand dollar earrings?" he sighed in frustration as he parked his car. He turned around and saw me looking through the window in disgust. I saw boys playing soccer, families hugging and kissing, and friends being reunited. "Look at me, Reed." I looked at him and raised my eyebrows. "I know this may feel like a punishment, but it's not," I scoffed. "This should be good for you. This…change should be good for you. Think of it this way, you won't have friends pressuring you all the time, you won't have to be around drugs and alcohol, you won't have to be around-"
I interrupted, "Zack. I won't be around Zack. You have never cared about drugs or alcohol before, or if you have then you never brought it up. Me being away from Zack is all you really wanted, isn't it?"
He didn't say a word after that. All he did was open his door and walked around and opened mine.
"It's time to go," he said.
I slowly stepped out of the car and "accidently" stepped on his foot with my three inch stilettos.
"Oopsies daisies. Sorry about that, Daddy."
"M-hmm." I could tell he was in pain.
I straightened out my gray mini skirt and hot pink tank top. Once my dad helped me with my suitcases and told my goodbye I focused in on my surroundings. If there's one good thing about this place it's that the campus is gorgeous.
Oh, well. At least this is a beautiful disaster.
