Lightning filled the sky as thunder boomed loudly. The Light brown haired boy looked up at the sky one last time before running into his house and locking the door. He took off his drenched shirt and made his way upstairs and into the bathroom. He quickly turned on the shower and looked at himself in the mirror. Blood was dripping from his nose and his right eye was discolored. Just as he was about to run down stairs and get some ice the front door opened meaning his mother had just gotten home for the day.
"Shit." He mumbled below his breath as he walked out into his room looking for anything that could keep his blood from dripping on to the carpet.
"TROY! I'm home!" His mother screamed. He heard footprints making their way upstairs and he quickly ran into the bathroom and shut the door before hopping into the shower with his pants still on.
"Gabriella! Dinner!" The brunette quickly signed off of AIM and made her way downstairs. She had been talking to her friend Nathan about the science homework they had due tomorrow.
"mm… smells good." She said as she sat down in her seat at the table. Across from her was her sister Sarah, and next to Sarah was her brother Kevin. Her mom and dad sat at either end of the table.
"So mommy, today at school we learned how to play 'Mary had a little lamb' on the piano. I was the best. " The Montez's were rather rich and each of them has gone to private school for their whole lives.
"That's wonderful honey." Gabriella rolled her eyes. She loved her sister with all her heart but recently her sister has grown fond of all the brats at school. Now she was starting to act like them.
Gabriella was miraculously able to steer free from all the snobs that went to her school, and trust me there were plenty of them.
"How was football practice today?" Mr. Montez asked.
"Donny needs to work on blitzing and Frank needs to cover me better, but other than that practice was great." Kevin stated matter-of-factly.
Kevin was 3 years older than Gabriella. He was a senior and was quarterback of the school's football team. He didn't want to pursue football even though he had been offered many scholarships from various schools; however he really wanted to be a psychologist and had the brains to be one.
Gabriella was the odd one out. Kevin was smart and Sarah had a lot of potential. Kevin was involved in student council and football while Sarah was following in his footsteps. Gabriella goes to school, and then comes home. She was smart but wasn't the smartest. She was confused about her life, and didn't feel the need to jump into anything.
"May I be excused?" Gabriella asked putting her fork down and looking up to her mother.
"What's the rush?" Mr. Montez asked making Gabriella look over to him.
"I have to study for science. Big test tomorrow."
"I'm sure that can wait." Mrs. Montez piped into the conversation.
Gabriella sighed and picked up her fork once again. She wasn't in the mood to hear about her brother and sister's accomplishments.
"Troy I told you just to ignore him!" His mother said slamming the silverware onto the table.
"I can't Mom! It doesn't work like that!" he said raising his voice.
"You can't just keep living your life like this!" His mother said lowering her voice and talking more sympathetically.
"And I should follow in your footsteps?" He said sarcastically as he dropped onto the couch and put his feet on the coffee table in front of him.
"Hey! Yeah, I've made some mistakes in my life. Sure, my husband cheated on me and my parents disowned me. But I have a lot to offer and so much to live for!" She screamed getting teary.
Troy hated it when she brought up her former husband, A.K.A. his dad. He hated to even think of such an awful person being related to him.
"Oh give it a rest mom." He said, tired of the conversation.
"No! You give it a rest, Troy!" She yelled then quietly added "Ever since she…."
"STOP! I'm done!" Troy screamed as he ran out of the house. He needed to clear his head. He couldn't handle this right now. Not again.
Sorry it's boring. It'll get better soon. I promise.
