I decided to take a break from 'Diary of a Runaway' due to unmentionable circumstances. I got WRITER'S BLOCK! GRRR!

Don't worry, I'm not giving up on it.

I wanna see if this story actually gets attention.

Prologue

Me and Courtney have been best friend's since we were 6.

Since our parents were best friend's they wanted us to know each other well also. So one day, Courtney's parents brought her over to my house so we could play.

Well, it started off rough at first, her wanting to play with Barbies and me wanted to play with my brother's RC cars. After awhile we decided to play with them both at the same time. A friendship was born.

As we got older we started to like more things. We both had a small crush a Justin Harvey, we both never did well in gym class and we both hated Heather: The Most-manipulative girl in our class.

But, we still have our differences. She can't draw; I can't sing. She likes Justin Bieber; I prefer Green Day. She's a health junkie; I eat chips and sweets. And the greatest difference of all- She's a prep and I'm a goth.

I bet your thinking, 'A prep and a goth? How is that possible!' I'm not the judging type, and neither is she- most of the time.

We always stick up for each other. Because of the way I dress and her 4'10 height, we get teased a lot.

Now that I've told you about Courtney, let me tell you about the other person in my weird story. My brother Duncan.

He's about a year older than me. My parents got divorced when I was 3. He went with dad, and my little brother Shane and I stayed with mom.

He has multiple facial piercings and a bright green mowhawk.

He should be visiting this month.

My story starts on a bright sunny Friday morning…..

Friday Morning

Friday's have always been my favorite day of the week. Besides Saturday.

I got out of the bed to the delicious smell of my mom's breakfast.

After a few stretches, I got up and smoothed out my black nightgown and brushed my hair before putting on my clothes: A black AC/DC t-shirt, skinny jeans, and black converses.

"Good morning Gwen," My mom says when I get to the table.

"Morning mom." I replied.

"Is that what your wearing?" My mom said in disgust.

"Yeah."

"It has holes in it."

"Ma, it's supposed to have holes in it, that how they were made." I replied.

"The things kids wear now a days." I heard my mom mutter. I rolled my eyes.

"Good morning, Grimmer." My annoying little brother Shane said. I rolled my eyes and blew a raspberry at him.

"I have a surprise for you two after you get home from school." Mom said pouring Shane and I a glass of orange juice.

"What is it?" Shane asked.

"It's a surprise dumbo!" I said.

"Gwen!" My mom scolded. The sound of a car horn was heard outside.

"That's the bus," Mom said. "See you after school kids."

"We're not kids anymore!" Shane pointed out. Mom rolled her eyes. "Alright. See you after school teens."

I laughed. Grabbing my book bag out of the corner, I headed out the door. I could see Courtney and my other friend, Bridgette, through the window. I climbed in the bus.

"Hey Gwen!" Bridgette and Courtney said cheerfully. I smiled back. It was nice to have them around in the hell I call school.

"Hey guys," I replied sitting down. "What were you talking about?"

"Look at Heather's outfit!" Courtney said in disgust.

Heather was currently wearing a showy cropped halter top and a small mini skirt. I rolled my eyes.

"She's just doing that to get a good grade on the History exam," Bridgette added. "I heard she was planning to, persuade the teacher."

Heather saw me looking and glared. I glared right back.

A few stops later, the bus pulled up to the school grounds. It was 20 min until the bell rings. When we got inside, Bridgette went directly to her homeroom to copy some notes that she missed from the day before.

"You know that empty house right next to yours?" Courtney said. I nodded.

"That's the house I'm moving into!"

To get to Courtney's old house, you would always have to go through a very bumpy road with the longest red light ever. I sighed in relief.

"Good, I won't have to deal with traffic anymore." I said. Courtney chuckled and we went to home room.

Homeroom was pretty simple. Just the teacher lecturing us about world hunger. I practically leaped for joy when the bell rung. Kids started filing out of the classroom, but Mrs. Winston called me back in the room.

"Gwen, could you put these books in the empty desk next to yours?" She asked me. I nodded and grabbed the books.

"Is there a new student coming?" I asked. Mrs. Winston had to be the only teacher I liked in this school.

"Yes, and I understand that you know the student." She said.

"No, no I don't." I replied closing the desk. What is she talking about?

"Oh, it must be a surprise." She muttered.

"See you later Mrs. Winston!" I said with a sigh.

I sat next to Bridgette and Courtney in the cafeteria after getting stared down by Chef Hatchett. Today the we were having gruel, moldy bread, and dirt water. I'm surprised the the Health Department hasn't shut us down yet.

The rest of the day was normal, with the exception of having to clear desks.

After saying goodbye to Courtney, I walked into my house where my mom and brother were waiting on the couch.

"Took you long enough Grimmer." Shane said not taking his eyes off of the Tv screen were he was playing video game.

"Oh hush butted." I snapped back. Mom glared at us.

"Are you ready for the surprise?" Mom asked. I nodded.

"You know I was gone for awhile last month on a business trip. Well, I actually went to New York to visit your father…"

After the divorce, Mom swore not to step foot in the same state as Dad, much less in the same room.

"After a long discussion, me and your father have decided to get remarried!"

"No way!" I said in disbelief. Shane had drop the game controller in shock.

"Yes way!" My mom said.

I was overjoyed. To have both of my parents back only happened in dreams, but now it was reality.

"When are they coming?" I asked.

A car horn was heard outside. No way.

Here's the first chapter. I hope you like it!
