CHAPTER 1

Tegan POV:

Another shitty day in life. Today's my first day at my new school. Fucking great. New school with no friends or any people I know. Great. Let's just hope this day will end soon so I can have a breakdown in my room. I sit up straight and swing my legs off of bed. I let out a sigh and stand up while checking my clock.

''7am. Okay I've got more than an hour.'' I mumble to myself.

I head downstairs and see my mom waiting for me with a big smile.

''Did you sleep well? Are you excited for your new school?'' she asks while I grab a bowl and cereal.

''Yeah'', I fake a smile and pour in my milk into the bowl.

If only she knew how much I hated this. If only she knew that this is just another school full of students that will bully me away. I finish my breakfast and go upstairs. I walk up to my closet and choose an outfit. A black band T-shirt, dark blue jeans and my vans. I go to the bathroom to take a shower and change. When I'm done I look at my clock and see it's almost 8am. I take my bag and head downstairs and meet my mom once again with car keys in her hand waiting for me. I quickly put my lunch into my bag and walk out of the door and head to my mom's car.

I stare out of the window during the whole ride. Man, I wish Jeremy was here, he'd brighten up my day in no time. We've been best friends for years, but when he passed away, I felt like a part of me passed away too. We had so much in common, we both liked the same bands, we both loved playing guitar and we were both gay. And homosexuality was one of the reasons we both got bullied, but Jeremy always managed to make me happy. I was snapped out of my thoughts when the car stopped in front of school, also known as Hell, and my mom put her hand on my shoulder. I give her a weak smile and get out of the car. I have to admit, I'm kind of nervous right now, seeing all those students separated in groups. The nerds, the skaters, the emos, the hockey players, the popular group,.. I'm about to have a panic attack but then a boy comes up to me.

''Hey there,'' he smiles,

''You okay?''

''Yeah, I'm just a bit overwhelmed.'' I smile back.

''By the way I'm Ted.''

He holds out his hand and I shake it.

''I'm Tegan.''

We walk to class and sit in the back of the room. I really hope no one notices I'm new. Not that I actually give a shit, but I just don't want to talk to other people. I look around and smirk at the fact that the class is full of girls and only has a few boys. When it's lunchbreak I see Ted talking and laughing with a girl. When he sees me, he smiles and waves at me. I walk over to them and notice the girl is checking me out. I feel slightly uncomfortable, but she's kinda hot so I ignore it.

''Tegan this is Lindsey, Lindsey this is Tegan.'' Ted says with a cheery voice. ''Hi'' I give her a gummy smile and she smiles back,

''Hey, you're new right?"

I nod and we walk towards the lunch room of school. We take places and take out our food. I smile when I see my food because I'm starving. We eat our lunches and I listen to Ted and Lindsey talking and laughing. I'm glad I already made friends to make this hellhole better.

''So Tegan, why did you actually change schools?'' Lindsey asks stuffing bread in her mouth.

''Well, my best friend and I got bullied by pretty much everyone,'' I stop to bite my apple and continue,

''And when I thought it couldn't get worse he got killed in a car crash.''

Ted and Lindsey both look at me with wide eyes, ''I'm so sorry to hear, Tegan'' Ted says and Lindsey agrees.

''It's okay,'' I shrug, ''I'm sure he's here and laughing his ass off at my awkwardness.'' I laugh and we get up from our table and head to the next class.

Luckily, thanks to Ted and Lindsey, school was over fast. It wasn't that bad to be honest. I sit on the stairs and wait for my mom to pick me up. I hear a bunch of laughing voices come close and pray that my mom will be here before they will. To my luck, the most popular group from school approaches me while laughing.

''Well fuck'' I whisper in my breath.

''Whatcha doing here, emo?''

I look at the boy confused and offended. ''Excuse me?''

''You heard me.'' he says while his friends form a threatening wall around me.

I get up and place my tiny figure in front of the giant that has insulted me.

''I'm just waiting, I don't see what's wrong with that.''

''Well wait somewhere else, this is our spot, you dyke.'' he spits while throwing me onto the stairs.

I raise my eyebrows and get up ready to slap the shit out of that asshole, when a girl appears from behind him.

''Please stop Jim, let's just go somewhere else.''

My body immediately loses its anger when I see the most beautiful girl stand next to him.

He continues giving me a nasty look and I mock him.

''Yeah Jim, go somewh-"

Before I could finish my sentence he gives me a head-butt and I fall back down on the stairs.

''I'm not done with you yet.''

He spits at me and walks away. The pretty girl, which I assume is his girlfriend, mouths a ''sorry'' at me and I smile at her as I try to stop the bleeding from my nose.

Right when they are out of sight my mom arrives, I enter the car and she starts to panic.

''Tegan what happened?''

I fasten my seatbelt and take a tissue for my nose.

''I don't wanna talk about it, let's go home.''

My mom nods and drives away.

When we arrive home, I immediately head upstairs to my room. I throw my bag next to my closet and let myself fall on my bed. I let out a big frustrated groan which I'm pretty sure my mom heard. After a while of just laying down and relaxing, I drift off to sleep.

''Tegan, you're going to be late!''

I hear a feminine voice scream at me and I moan. I sigh and get up and prepare myself for my second day which I'm sure won't be great at all.

When I arrive in school, I walk up to Ted and Lindsey talking and giggling.

''Hey guys''

''Hi Tegan!'' Ted says with his cheery voice and Lindsey smiles and waves at me.

''Wow Tegan, what happened to your face?!"

Lindsey gasps while Ted gives her an angry glare.

''Lindsey that's rude!"

I laugh and touch my nose. I didn't even notice it was swollen this morning.

''It's okay, I just had a little argument with someone.''

Teds eyebrow raises as he talks.

''I don't think a 'little argument' would have led to hitting you.''

''Well, I'm still alive right?''

They both nod and we enter the building as the bell rings.

I look at the clock and sigh, it's only 11:45am. Why is time going so slow.. I look around in class and see that the same girl from yesterday is looking at my direction. I smile at her and she smiles shyly back. The bell rings and I'm walking to the door as quickly as possible to join Ted and Lindsey, but when I arrive at the door, the girl tries to stop me.

''Wait!"

I look behind me with a confused expression.

''Me?''

She giggles and walks up to me.

''Yeah,''

I am speechless as I get a closer and better look at her. She is so beautiful. She has the most stunning brown eyes I've ever seen, and her long brown hair is so much better than my messy hair.

''So yeah, I wanted to apologize for yesterday..''

I get snapped out of my thoughts as she softly says.

''Oh, it's okay, it's not your fault.''

She holds her books tighter as she looks nervously around in the hallway.

''Well I could've stopped him before he hurt you.''

''Pfsh, it didn't hurt that much. He's not as strong as he looks.'' I try to get my inner macho out and she smiles.

''Yeah, you look pretty tough.''

She holds her books in one arm and holds out the other one.

''By the way, my name's Sara.''

I shake her hand and smile.

''Tegan.''

''Well nice to meet you, Tegan.'' she winks and walks away into the lunch room. I smile and look for Ted and Lindsey.

''I swear it was this big!'' Ted says as he explains something to Lindsey.

''Ted you're full of shit.'' Lindsey rolls her eyes.

''Whatever, hey Tegan! Come sit with us!'' Ted smiles and I join them.

''What were you guys talking about?''

I say as I unpack my lunch.

''Well, this morning I saw a spider, THIS big.''

I laugh and raise an eyebrow.

''He's exaggerating, that can't be.''

''Lindsey, you weren't there! How could you know!"

I listen to them talk and laugh while finishing my lunch when my eye catches a table not so far from ours. It's the table Sara and Jim are sitting at. Jim's talking to their friends while Sara just remains silent next to him. She looks so sad, I don't get why she's friends with those assholes.

After finishing our lunches we get up and continue with our classes.
