Chapter 2
I was sitting on my bed looking at my clock that was saying in forty minutes I was going to my new school. There was a soft knock on my door. My new door. To my new room and new paint colored walls,new dresser, with new clothes. Everything I had I sold because it hurt to much. Drew walked in , Drew is my stepbrother he is 17 and is six foot, two inches. "Hey," I said smiling sadly. He came and sat on the side of the bed,where I was sitting.
"I am sorry," he started to say but I cut him off.
"Don't talk about it, I don't need to here about that anymore," I said putting my hand up to him.
"Ok I understand," he said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Wait how would you understand,"I asked,"if I may ask."
"I will tell you later but guess what time it is?," he asked smiling a somewhat enthusiastic smile.
"Oh god, please no, I don't want to go to a new school," I said tired wiping goo from my eyes.
"I know you don't want to go to a new school but you will have fun just stay close to the boys and me and it will be all cool," He said holding out his hand for me to take and get up from my seat. I took his hand and grabbed my backpack (also brand new). We slowly walked to school, it was just a couple of blocks away, but got there some how in five minutes. Just before we got there I put my sweatshirt I had hidden in my backpack on. That didn't mind Drew, until I putt the hood up and tied it really tight. He suddenly stopped walking.
"What are you doing?," he asked looking at me like he was getting mad.
"What?," I asked as I stopped walking too.
"Why do you have your hood over your gorgeous black hair and brilliant green eyes?" he asked getting angrier. I thought to myself how could he ask me that he had no business in it.
"What would she say? Huh? You know. I don't. I never met her so I don't, but you, you would know what your mother would say, I had a mother once too, she would tell me its not about what they think of you, its what you think they think of you, that is your choice ," Drew asked me his face had anger and frustration written all over it. A single tear running down my face.
"If you think they'll hate you that's your choice,O.K.?," he said pulling me into a hug.
"I am ready," I said breaking the hug and taking the hood off but leaving the sweater on.
" I am glad you think so," he said taking my hand and pulling me along towards the front of the school. When we actually got close enough to see the name of the school I started to laugh, but quickly covered my mouth with my hand so that kids wouldn't hear me.
"Swag Swinger high school? Really? That's original," I said giggling.
"Yeah I know, but deal with it ,because for the next two years, since your a junior, this is where your going to school," He said smiling.
"Yeah this is going to be good,"I said before I walked, with Drew, up the steps and through the doors to my new Swag high school.
