Chapter 1:
The shrill of my alarm clock piercing though my small room was enough to make me want to rip my head off. As soon as I hit the snooze button, I heard my mother banging on my door with her small fists. "GET OUT OF BED YOUNG LADY OTHERWISE YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE TOSCHOOL"; all the while banging with each word. Great, another school, another town. When is this torture going to end? This is the third school within the last six months that I have been forced to attend because my mother is always changing her fucking mind about where to live and work. She actually uses the terms 'it didn't feel right working there' 'maybe the next place will feel more like home'. She doesn't consider anyone's feeling but her own. Now I'm stuck in fucking Jersey with this witch of mother.
I quickly get out of bed and start to make my way to the little bathroom across the hall. As I brush my teeth I look up into the mirror. I cringe when I see how much of a mess I look like. My face is paler than usual that blue veins are actually visible underneath my eyes. My eyes are all red and puffy from crying myself to sleep the night before and the dark bag underneath them are starting to creep up from staying up until ridiculous hours of the night. My eyes travel down to my nose that's starting to flake from the bitter winter coldness. I sigh at my horrible face and start brushing my teeth.
I hurry out of the bathroom to get ready before the witch see me only getting ready now when I should have been ages ago. Opening my cupboard, I get out my classic black skinnies, a misfits band tee and a red hoddie. I quickly drag on my items of clothing and top it all off with a black studded belt. I go to the mirror that's hanging behind my door and start to brush out my tangled pink and black hair. I then apply black bottom and top liner as quickly and skilfully as I can with the amount of time I have left. I look at my bedside clock to see that it's already 8:50 and I had exactly 10 minutes to get to school. Shit, my mum is going kill me! I run downstairs to grab my dark green worn out converse and shoulder bag and leave before I waste any more time.
Making my way down the empty grey looking streets, I look to the sky and predict that it will be cloudy and grey all day. Great, can this day get any worse? I turn the corner and discover that I have a small pack of cigarettes in my back pocket. I make a little detour though a forest near by the school to have a quick smoke. I quickly light up and start to walk deeper into the forest. Walking closer and closer to the school and out of the forest, I finish my cig and stomp it out. I walk out of the forest and stand before Belleville High. The bell must have gone quite a while ago because there was not a soul in front of the school. I take this opportunity to take my time finding the front office. I eventually find it and make my way to the old looking woman sitting behind it.
