I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It was Monday morning, and the start of another day of school. I jumped out of my bed and threw the sheets back. I made my bed and eventually looked at the time on my clock: 5.30 A.M. It was my usual time to get up. I have a horrible life. My parents divorced, and I live with my dad. My brother lives with our mom.

I also have a stepmom. Her name is Sarah. At first, my dad hired her to look after the house and do the cooking. But as I knew would happen, things didn't stay that way. They married, and now Sarah is seven months pregnant. They did everything for their little "angels". The reason why I say "angels" is because I'm not one of them. Sarah is carrying twins – two little girls, the perfect kids in my dad's life. Sarah and my dad don't give a shit about me. After they married, everything changed.

I had to look after the house, do the cleaning, the cooking, and even do their laundry. If I don't do that stuff, I get punished. "One week no food," is the nicest punishment I've received. There are others as well, like, "get ready in your room, I'm coming," or, "I can already hear the belt shouting your name." They all mean the same: getting hit by a belt. Also, I get punched, kicked, and slapped.

My whole body hurts after one or two hours with my dad, but I have to do the housework too if I don't want any more punishments. As proof, I carry a lot of bruises and scars. At school, nobody is allowed to see them. I don't know how I managed to survive those eight months without anybody noticing, but I did. It's good nobody at school knows because otherwise my dad would lose his job… the job he loves even more than me – his son.

I'm the captain of the basketball team my dad is coaching, so I also have to practice extra at home. As if I don't have enough to do, I sure have time between beatings, housework, and schoolwork.

As the basketball captain, I'm the school's hero. Every girl is after me and wants a date. But I never let those girls get further than a kiss – nothing more! If one of them starts claiming that she wants to see and touch my chest and then starts making her way to the hem of my shirt – I drop her.

I got out of the shower and dressed. Then, I quickly made my way downstairs and prepared breakfast for my dad and Sarah. At home, I never eat something for breakfast myself. I always grab some on my way to school. When I finished making the breakfast, my dad came downstairs and sat down. I quickly put his plate in front of him and put Sarah's down as well. Then I went upstairs again and packed my school bag. I got my homework together and put it in my bag. Considering how my life is at home, my homework is rather good.

After that, I ran downstairs again just in time to see my dad and Sarah finishing their breakfast. I grabbed the plates and put them in the sink. I already heard my dad take his car keys and kiss Sarah goodbye. Then he left, driving to school everyday, while I had to walk. I didn't mind this break from him, though. School was the only place in this world where I felt safe. I had to see my dad only during gym class and basketball and there he couldn't do anything.

While dreaming of jelly and delicious apples, the alarm on my phone went off. I didn't have my alarm clock right now because it was all packed in some cardboard boxes. My mom and I just moved here. I crawled out of my bed and left it in a mess. It didn't make any difference, because the whole room was a mess. I climbed over the different boxes and made my way to the bathroom.

I was used to this. Because of my mom's job we always moved. But today was a special day; I don't know why, but every day at a new school is special to me.

I jumped in the shower and let the hot water fall down my ebony curls and my back, down to my feet. I got out and dried my hair. Afterwards, I chose some skinny jeans and a black tank top to wear. Most of my clothes were still in the boxes, but nevertheless, I found these clothes.

I got my bag and went downstairs to meet my mom. She stood in the kitchen making my breakfast. I could smell the bacon and the eggs.

"Mum that smells really good." I ate and was totally hyper because of this new school.

It was the first day of high school in a new state. Thoughts kept running through my head, like, "I hope the people there will like me and that I will find new friends. Okay… until now I always found new friends. I don't know why but it seems like everybody likes me although I'm really not that nice. And every boy wants to go out with me but I'm not a girl that goes out with every boy."

Until today I only had one boyfriend and he was really great… but he cheated on me. Since then I'm a little bit careful about boys, as friends they are really okay, but as a boyfriend? I don't know.

It's a little bit annoying that my mom and I always move around, but it has a good side as well, and it's that I see so much of the world. I miss all my old friends so much though, but I'll make other friends and maybe I'll get a boyfriend. But not at the moment – I really don't need one.

I hope that this school has a good math class because I love math. It's so cool. That's the reason I've been labeled a geek at every school I've been to. I hope it'll change because I'm sick of it.

I got ready for my first day here. In my ears, I heard my favorite song "Bring Me to Life" playing. My favorite song changed nearly every week, so I updated my iPod often. I love music, apart from math, because music is my life. It's one of the most important things to me. I sing since I can't speak, and most teachers say that I have a wonderful voice.I sang to the song and packed an apple and sandwich for lunch. I got my bag and finished getting ready. My mom drove to work and had time to drop me at school. I got in the car, still feeling hyper.

The whole way we just sat there. I listened to my iPod and my mom concentrated on driving.

At last, we arrived at East High School. I got out of the car, gave my mom a goodbye kiss and closed the door. I swung my bag over my shoulder and made my way towards the school building.

"I hope the people here'll be nice," I thought.So...the first chapter...Please review!
