Hey guys! I loved the reviews I was really happy, so here's the next chapter!
I rolled over on my back as the sun blinded my right eye. I sat up and examined my room, same as I left it; messy and a bad place to put a dresser. I looked over at my phone and checked the time. 7:45. I was supposed to be at school at 8:30, I had time but not enough to sleep another hour or so. I fell back on my bed and sigh taking one more time to close my eyes. I hoped out of bed and when to my dresser. I pulled out a plain green v-neck shirt, some converse, and my ripped up blue jeans. I threw on a hoodie and straightened my hair so my ombre was more visible.
As I brushed my teeth i wondered what this day is gonna be like. Of course I thought it was gonna be like any other day; do work, get bullied, get in trouble, and having to go to the nurse for a change of clothes since Tilly Thompson has to pour my food all over me. But today, I felt it was going to be different, for whatever reason only God knows.
I put make up over my not-so-swollen-eye and blended it. I looked normal, like I didn't get abused by my father. Ahh the wonders of makeup; I hail the people who made makeup. They did me a life of kind of good. I exited my bathroom and I looked at my door; the events of last night played through my mind and I prayed Lester wasn't down there waiting for me. I inhaled and I grabbed the sides of my brown dresser and pushed it to the side. I opened the door just a crack to look outside. Everything seemed quiet and still, but I wasn't going to let my guard down so soon. I go downstairs as quiet as a mouse; from living with Lester for 11 years you will earn that skill. I was downstairs down and the house was truly empty, just little me. I'm surprised he left without planting a grenade outside my door. I dot even know why he keeps me, he killed my mom, why not me? What reason is he keeping me for? I know for a fact that question will always be left unanswered. I make my way into the kitchen i rinsed out the dried blood in the kitchen sink and cleaned his glasses full of alcohol. I get a bottle of water and an apple. I take one bit of the apple as I grab my stuff and walk to school.
I enter the doors just as the tardy bell rang; I saw kids stumbling through doors before the teachers noticed, but everyone knows they did. I walk to my algebra class, knowing that Mrs. Piper isn't going to be happy with me late...again. What I don't understand is why teachers don't appreciate me I'm the smartest kid in each class, so who cares if I come late? I'm the only one that does the work! But it doesn't matter, Mom always told me just do what you gotta do, and I'm planning to sticking with that. As I open the door, Mrs. Piper is already yelling at the stupid teenagers to shut up, they don't of course, but my presence in the room only made the matter worse.
"Hey nerd! Did you get another beat up?" Willie asked, obviously pointing out to my not-so-swollen-eye. "Shut up," I mumbled. They laughed. "Yeah probably by us!" The cheerleaders commented. and more of those jerks laughed. I sat down and turned to them, "You either did or didn't jump me,which you did not. If you're gonna insult me do it right." I said with venom. Rachael put her hands up in defense, "Excuse me, ne-" Tilly, didn't finish her sentence she was looking at the door. Confused, i looked over and saw a blonde jock. His caramel brown eyes searched the room, and his locked on mine. His lips curved into a smile and a sparkle flashed in his eyes. He was really hot, but i knew what he was inside: A heartless bastard. All the attention was on the blonde jock, i saw one cheerleader drooling. I rolled my eyes at my class and turned back to my work. The room was dead silence until Mrs. Piper spoke up, "Hello, you must be our new student!" She exclaimed. He smiled at her and nodded, "Yeah, my name is Austin Moon." His eyes glanced toward me. 'Great to meet you, have a seat." And I bet each and everyone of you guys can guess where the last seat was. Behind me.
A glint was in his eyes as he walked over to sit behind me. My eyes narrowed and they followed him till he past me. I felt him sit behind me, and I; mentally groaned. Why does this have to happen to me? After all the crap I've been through, do I really deserve this? "Well today just open your books and do question 1-10," Mrs. Piper said. I pulled out my book and paper and continued to do what I was told. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I wanted to ignore it, but something told me I shouldn't. I turned to meet him, his eyes searching my face and lingering on my not-so-swollen-eye. "Whats your name?" He asked. "Why do you want to know my name? What about the "hot" cheerleaders?" I asked. He laughed, "Just tell me." "Ally Dawson." I said. He smiled happily, "Nice to meet you." He said. I knew better, this was just an act. "Yeah hi." I said bitterly. I turned back around. Another tap hit my shoulder. I turned back around, with a cold expression on my face. "What?" I snapped at him. He laughed and leaned back in his chair, "Why so upset? Mad you know you cant get some?" He asked. Told ya, all just an act. "In your dreams." And with that I left as the bell rang.
The nest classes I had, had Blondie in them, but i ignored his stares and laughs. Right now was lunch, and all I needed was food. I walked in, grabbed my food, and sat with Trish and Dez, my only friends. They were talking about the new kid which is, you guessed right, Austin Moon. "Hey guys," I said exhausted. "Hey," They said in unison. "You look beat." Trish pointed out. Trish meant as in tired , what she didn't know how appropriate the sentence was. "When am I not?" I smiled. She mirrored me. "SO have you met Austin yet?" Dez asked excited. "Nope. No matter how cute he is, I ain't making him my friend and apart of our group." Trish said. "Sadly, yes." I said to Dez. He looked confused, "Why sadly?" He asked. I sighed, "Hes just like the rest Dez.' I explained. Dez knew what I meant, as in he like the rest of those mean jocks. I couldn't help but notice disappointment in his eyes. I shrugged it off. I got up and was about to throw away my food when who should appear than Tilly Thompson, and right on schedule too. "Stay away," She warned. "From you? No argument there sister." I said. "No you moron, from Austin! He's mine." Of course! Its always the cheerleader picking on the dork to stay away from her man. She really is a stereotype. "Don't worry, not my type," I said. He smirked, "Good and just so you know who you're up against I'm just gonna to do this." She said, grabbed my milk and pointed it toward me, but not a drop came out. "I drank it dumb ass." I threw away my lunch and left.
I heard footsteps, and so i turned around to find Austin Moon coming toward me. "What this time?" I asked. "You know for a nerd who gets bullied you sure put up a fight." He said. "I learned from the best," I said describing Lester. Well there's this party at Willies tomorrow. You gonna come?" He asked. "You asking me out?" I asked. "No way. You couldn't get some of this." He gestured toward himself.I rolled my eyes. "Bye," I said. As I kept walking, I heard Austin calling me, "Walk it girl!" He yelled. I turned around while still walking. "What like this?" I smiled. "Man you're cheating! You're power walking!" I laughed and turned back around.
I turn the knob of my house and I smiled while walking in, but that disappeared when I was grabbed by my hair. I totally forgot about Lester, and that saying something because I never forget about him. I got punched in the face and I was too dazed to know what was going on. I just felt rope being tied around me. Once my vision cleared, I realized I was tied to the fire place. Lester grabbed the metal stick to move the wood around and hit my legs. I felt the cold metal hit my bone, and i already felt the bruise appearing. I was right when I said there wouldn't be a conversation, it was just him beating me. just when i thought it was all over he grabbed the brand iron that was sitting in the fire. The tip was red, and I felt the heat coming off of rose my shirt up to reveal my stomach, I knew what was coming next and i closed my eyes tightly. Next thing i knew I felt it on my stomach. Imagine you going to Hawaii and getting burned by lava from the volcano. That was very similar of how I felt. After a while, he let me go and I slowly went up the stairs, sore everything and my burn was so hot i was afraid I could burn myself just by touching it.
I took a shower and went to bed. Right when i closed my eyes i was already asleep. I was too drunk on pain to dream of anything.
Ba-BOOM! I really like this chapter, and i added Austin as promised. I just can't wait to write about the party. WHo knows what will happen? (Me) Anyway, i hope you guys liked it! Till next time. ~Laura~
