Chapter 2: Awkward encounters

I was drifting. Drifting into the blackness of sleep, or the not so happy morning that was sure to be awaiting for me behind the closet doors. I slightly whimpered when my foot kicked something over and it fell on my tender ribs. That had to be one of the worst beatings yet. Next year I would be free, I was counting the days. I was about to say screw school and just sleep off the pain, but a low thumping sound woke me up fully. It was too annoying to go back to sleep. It was coming from out my window, it must have been the new neighbors.

I checked the time on my cell phone. 6AM. Great. I tried the sliding part on the closet door, no such luck, it was tightly shut. I sighed worriedly and tried to think about what I was going to do to get out. I glanced at my phone, and dialed the house number, I hope He wouldn't get too mad, but we did have a happy family charade to keep up with…. I just hope he will understand. One ring… two rings… three rings… I heard him shuffle about in the next room.

He answered with a groggy, "Hello?"

"Dad?" I asked hesitantly, not knowing what to do or say, not knowing if he would approve of me calling him dad without people around. I mean what else am I going to call him by, his actual name? That's awkward even for me, and we don't even have a father daughter relationship.

"What the fuck Aimee!" He sneered into the phone, and I involuntarily crouched back into the closet, like his iron grip could snatch me right through the phone.

"Can you let me out? Don't we have an appearance to keep up?" I tried to sway him. I just couldn't take it anymore in this closet, it was starting to get a little claustrophobic.

"Yeah, so?" He questioned.

"People will start to notice if I miss school…" I trailed off.

He grumbled something incoherently. Then the line went dead. I vaguely heard rummaging around the house, I knew I won, he was coming to let me out. My bedroom door creaked open, and I was still scared of what was going to happen, with Him nothing really makes sense. I quickly shoved my phone in my bra, and got ready to face his wrath. The closet door started to jiggle a little bit, and I saw light. He smiled creepily down at me. I shrank back, and he only smiled wider. He grabbed me by my hair and threw me to my bedroom floor.

"Okay, you little skank, your out. Now get ready, you have an errand to run before school!" He bent down to my level and placed a sloppy kiss on my cheek before he slapped it with all his force, which sent my head flying and hit a chair. He chuckled darkly and left the room. I winced and let out a few tears. It wasn't as bad as I thought. It could have always been worse. I just kept reminding myself that.

I got up slowly shedding a few more tears and walked over to my body length mirror. My face was red swollen, and hurt to the touch, and you could tell I had been crying. I prodded at my ribs before I took a look, they felt brittle, like they would snap at any moment. I lifted up my shirt and literally gasped out loud, purple bruises were everywhere, in the form of hand prints, and you could tell I had been kicked. I sniffled as I shrugged out of my clothes, ashamed of my body.

I picked out a long sleeved purple shirt to wear; long sleeved to hide my recent cuts. Then a pair of black skinny jeans with a purple studded belt, it had a few missing studs in it. My converse were my life, the canvas was black, and they had neon rainbows and peace signs on them. They were the opposite of me, which is why I liked them so much for some reason. I put on a thin line of eyeliner with my brown eye shadow, I know you would have thought I would wear black, but brown makes my blue eyes stand out more. I'm such a girl. I smiled sadly to myself.

I looked at my cell. My eyes grew huge, I was going to be late! And He wanted me to do something before then too. I put my bag on and walked to the living room. He was waiting patiently for me. I don't know what for, usually he's gone, or yelling at me. This was definitely strange.

"You know the new neighbors right?" He asked me. I nodded so he continued. "I think it's time for me to get some new friends," Why was this relevant to me? "And I want you to go over to their house, and welcome them to the neighborhood." He crossed his arms and smirked. He knew how much I fucking hated to talk to people.

I nodded. "Now go."

I walked outside, and it was breezy. I loved the feeling when spring is almost here, not too hot, not too cold. Perfect in my opinion. Our house was the last house on the left, on a dead end, and we lived at the bottom of a fucking hill, so when it rains, we get most of the water. Our house was next to a gigantic forest too! Yup. I was stalling. Insert smiley.

The new neighbors house was set on top of a hill too. I walked across the street, and directly up their front lawn. The door was open, but I decided to knock anyways. A very cheery woman answered the door. "Hello there, I'm Simone what can I do for you?" She was very pretty. Tall, chubby, flowing curly black hair. Beautiful.

"Nice to meet you Simone, I'm Aimee, I live just across the street, my dad wanted me to come over and welcome you to the neighborhood." I held out my hand but she didn't shake it. Her eyes sparkled and she pulled me into a hug. I almost winced, but held it back. We pulled apart, and she looked genuinely happy. Eh happy people, but I didn't have it in my heart to not like Simone, there was just something about her that drew me in.

"Well that was very sweet of him honey! Do come in," She beckoned me into her lovely home. "Sorry its not clean, were still unpacking and stuff."

"No need to worry," I smiled. "How are you liking this town?" I decided that I was already late to school, what's a few more minutes going to do?

She returned my smile. "It's pretty quiet, very nice too, I'm hoping we'll finally settle down somewhere. How long have you been here?" I hinted a German accent, she was quite cute.

"I've lived here my whole life," I answered back. "I don't really like it here though, too many people care about their looks, and their need to be like everybody and to fit in. I challenge the status quo." I smiled, looking down at my dark appearance.

She laughed. "My son said that too! He hates this place and he hasn't even spent a week here yet." Son? Wow, she looked really young.

"You have a son? You look really young." I flattered her by the look on her face.

"Why yes I do. I have twin boys, and a husband." Just then a car pulled up in the driveway. She hesitated for a moment. "That'll be him." She faintly smiled. "Well you should be going, you have school to attend to, tell your dad that you all are invited to dinner. I don't know when yet, so drop by soon and figure out, eh?" She smiled and walked me to the door.

"Sure thing." I smiled. "And you come visit if you like too?"

"Of course. Now get out of here kiddo." She laughed.

Her husband was talking on his phone, and didn't glance at me once as I walked past him. I looked at the time. Shit! I was going to be super late. I took off at a run. I was already 10 minutes late, but I still hated it.

I tried to calm my breathing as I walked in my 1st period. Of course everyone turned their heads to the freak. And I'm late, so I got double the stares. I took my seat at the side of the classroom, next to my acquaintances. Rin and Emily. Rin turned and gave me a WTF look, I just shrugged, I didn't have to give her an explanation, it was my business after all.

"Nice of you to join us Frau Aimee, what the excuse this time?" She asked. Snickers filling the classroom, fuck you teacher! Who knew teachers would pick on students in front of people like that. So disrespectful.

I shrugged and looked down. She sighed and kept teaching. Not like I paid attention. I fucking hated German class, because of that dumb bitch. She thought she knew what she was talking about, but she really didn't. She then gave us papers to do. We could work with a partner.

"Psst!" Rin pssssttted me. I looked at her. "Work with me!" She gave an adorable face.

"Sure." I mumbled. I moved over next to her. As soon as I sat down, she started talking about a new kid.

"Yeah, he's totally sexy, I'd tap that." She confided in me. "If I wasn't dating the love of my life." She pointed to a kid. "That's him…" She trailed off letting me take him in.

He was sort of pretty. Long black hair with highlights, wore down a little past his shoulders, band tee, skinny jeans, eyebrow piercing. I guess he could feel my stare on him, so he looked up, making eye contact with me. I should have been embarrassed, but I wasn't. I just couldn't look away, his chocolate brown coal lined orbs held something there. Something that intrigued me. His eyes shied away first. I looked away and held my breath. Why did I even do that in the first place?

I looked over to Rin. "Fuck yes, you guys are going to date." She stated matter-of-factly.

I gave her a shut the fuck up look. "Nope!" I popped the "p."

She laughed. "You never know right?" She changed the subject. "Him and his twin moved here the other day…" Could that have been Simone's son? He surely had her beautiful eyes. I smiled at the memory, Simone was a great person, I found myself wanting to talk to her. But pushed the feeling away, I could never grow close to someone. It would only hurt in the end.

I zoned in and out on Rin's rant about why she needs to get a job. Hell don't we all? I mean I like talking to her and all, but she always cuts me off if I'm in the middle of telling her something, and she always thinks she's right in math, and she's really not. Okay maybe she is, but still. Today was going to be different. I already knew…

"Uh helloooo!" Rin waved her hand in front of my face. I stared blankly at her. "Were you listening to anything I just said?"

I sighed. "Nope, sorry, just got a lot on my mind is all…" I didn't feel like putting up with shit today.

"It's alright, I know how you feel," She really didn't. "But anyways, New Kid is totally looking over here at you!" She smiled.

I didn't want to look, I didn't want it to be awkward, so I just glued my eyes to Rin's face, I wouldn't look, I wouldn't look…. Okay I… crap, I looked. He swiftly looked away, blushing a deep red.

"He's so into you!"

"Rin cool it! No he's not."

"You wish though!" Hm did I? I'm trying not to like him. I didn't want to be hurt.

The teacher called the class to attention. "Okay, enough worksheets, I'm choosing partners now." Everyone groaned. She sat up a device on her computer that picked names together.

Rin- Emily

Fuck there goes my acquaintances.

Marco- James

Ella- Grady

Aimee- Bill

Who the fuck is Bill? "Aimee, to the new student." The teacher informed me.

Bill looked up as I quietly walked towards him.

BAM! Cliffy : )
