*****Chapter 2- Back to the Beginning*****

Sora's P.O.V.

"Watch it! Stupid bitch..." a preppy girl with her 'groupies' said as she ran into me while I was walking to second period.

"Fuck you, bitch..." I whispered quietly to myself as she walked away laughing.

I hate school. Odibah High sucked ass and unfortunately, I was stuck there because I'm "not allowed" to drop out. My step dad (Mike) would kill me if I ever even talked about dropping out. So therefore, I was stuck in school against my will.

"Enjoying the hell hole today beautiful?" Ellie (17), a very good friend of mine, said approaching me at my locker.

"Fuck no. You seriously think I want to be here?" I replied as I tugged at the jammed lock.

"Of course not. Who would want to be here?"

"Them," I said pointing to a group of popular kids.

"Well of course they like being here. They have no other lives but to make everyone who's not them miserable. Oh well though, fuck them."

"Oh come on, all popular kids can't be that bad can they?" Yamato asked entering the scene talking to Ellie (He has a crush on her, but then again what guy wouldn't? She's prettier than all the popular girls and they know so that's why they don't like her).

"When are you going to fucking learn that she doesn't fucking like your ass?" I said rudely trying to make him, once again, realize she wasn't interested.

"Whoa! Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," Yamato replied not even caring about what I'd just said to him.

I gave him the finger, "Come one, Ellie. Let's let this trash get back to it's whores."

"I love you too, Sor," Yamato replied, which in return pissed me off.

"Don't call me Sor. Only my fiends can call me that."

"We used to be friends, doesn't that count for something?"

"Used to be, is the key word there, Matt."

Matt finally took a hint, "Don't call me Matt. Only MY friends can call me that," he said and walked away to go join his 'groupies'.

"Whatever. School is gay, you want to skip the rest of the day?" I asked Ellie.

"I wish I could but I can't. I've got like a MAJOR Physics test today and I can't afford to miss it. I'm already almost failing that class as it is," she replied.

"Alright. I guess if you have to suffer, I will too."

"Awe, how sweet! That touches me, it really does!"

"Oh cut the shit. Let's get to class before we're late... again."

"Okay. Let's go."

It was true, just about everyone who knew me knew I hate school. School was seriously the biggest waste of time in a kid's life. Then again, I had to admit, it was a hell of a lot better than being stuck at home. Home was hell. I hated being there more than I hated being stuck at school. Oh well, life sucks ass anyways. What can I do about it? Nothing.

"Sit down everyone," the teacher, Mr. Kochiama, called desperately to try and make his class calm down, "SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN!" he yelled. That got everyone quiet, "Now, the war of 1832..."

History was the class I disliked the most. The three people I cannot stand (Matt, Mimi, and Tai) are all in this class with me. As if it wasn't bad enough to listen to Mr. Kochiama ramble, I had to sit there and listen to Mimi behind me, babbling to her friend about God knows what.

"There is a totally huge sale going on at the mall right now," Mimi whispered to her friend, Kayla.

"Oh my gosh, we so have to go after school! I am like so totally broke right now so sales will totally make my day!" Kayla replied.

"Okay!"

"Yay!"

'My God, could they be anymore preppy!?' I thought listening to their conversation. I know it's rude to eavesdrop but they were talking so loud I'm sure the whole damn class heard. 'I can't believe she and I used to be best friends. I pray to God I never acted like that when I was with her.' I thought rolling my eyes and somewhat attempting to listen to the lesson.

About twenty minutes later the class got so boring that I almost fell asleep. That was until the vice principal came into the classroom.

"Excuse me for interrupting Mr. Kochiama, Tai Kamiya, can I see you outside, please?" Vice prinicpal, Chaney, asked.

"Great, what did I do this time?" Tai wondered getting up and leaving the classroom as everyone said "Ooo".

'Stupid pot head' I thought.

"Did he get busted for drugs again or what?" Ellie turned around in her desk and asked me.

"How the hell would I know?" I replied.

"Well you guys used to be best friends. I just though you would maybe know something."

"Ellie, that was a long time ago. People change, believe me. You never know who you can trust anymore," I said loud enough receiving a look of guilt from Matt and Mimi. I knew, Mimi knew, and just about everyone else knew that we all used to be friends. They all knew that Mimi still felt guilty about what she did to me too.

"Do you know anything about this?" Chaney asked Tai once they were outside and the door was shut.

"Anything about what? You pulling me out into the hallway while I'm trying to learn? I pay my taxes and I can't even get a good education because people like you are depriving me of it," Tai replied in a smart ass tone.

Chaney pulled a small bag of marijuana out of his pocket.

"So you find a bag of pot and automatically assume that it's mine? That's really low," Tai said pissed off that he was being accused.

"I wasn't saying it was yours I was just asking if you knew anything about it," Chaney replied trying not to make himself look bad.

"Well I don't. And don't accused me next time."

"Get back to class," Chaney said finally annoyed by his attitude.

Tai walked into the room and everyone began booing. He flicked everyone off and sat back down in his seat so he could sleep the rest of class.

Later that day it began to rain. No, it didn't just rain, it poured. I didn't like it when it rained outside. When it rained it meant I couldn't stay after school for two extra hours for tennis practice. It meant I had to go home and see him until mom got home from work around five. I could've gone to Ellie's house, but it was Friday and she's a competitive cheerleader (not for school) and even when it rained, she still had practice.

Mike loved the rain. It washed blood away and that was the only reason he loved it. He was a sick and twisted person, but there was nothing I could possibly do about it. I had no where to live but with him and my mother. My father was killed in a car accident two years ago when I was 15. That was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my entire life. I felt like when he died, I should have died too. It would've been a hell of a lot better than living the way I do now.

"Is anyone home!?" I yelled walking into a dark, empty house after school. I already knew the answer to my question though.

Mike was obviously working late which meant he wouldn't be home until around seven or eight that night. Mom would be home around five so it was a good thing for me. Thank God it was Friday night.

Meanwhile a party raged in another part of town. It was a dark part of town where people like Matt and Tai liked to hang out. Matt was of course there at the party. He had the hook up to just about every party in and out of town, as long as alcohol was present. He sat at a table with three other guys playing drunken Yatzee (don't ask). He was presently on his fifth glass of beer and his senses had already left him.

"YATZEE!" Matt shouted thinking he's won. He jumped up and hit his head on a light hovering above the table. Almost instantly he was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground with a thud. The guys at the table were wasted and laughed at him not realizing the gravity of the situation at hand.

It began to get dark around 5:30 and that was when my mom came waltzing in the door. She looked tired from her long day of work and went straight to bed. She gave me $20 to order a pizza. I sat in my room quietly as she slept but then all hell broke loose when Mike came home. I could tell he had been drinking so there was no telling what he was going to do. Only my mom knew how to deal with him when he was like this.

'Shit' I thought as I turned off my light making it seem as if I weren't home. 'I'm not going to stick around for another beating from him. No, not today.' I packed some things into a bag and opened my window. My room was on the bottom floor and the jump from my window to the ground was only about five feet so it was easy to sneak out. It was still raining but I hopped out when I heard Mike yelling "Where is she?" and with one jump to the ground, I was gone.

Not too far from my home another issue was at hand. Three guys in a black car were trying to discard of Matt's body because he had passed out and they didn't want to be blamed for something that might have happened to him.

"Where do we drop him off!?" One guy (the leader) asked as he drove nervously down the soaking wet streets.

"There! Drive to that alley!" Another one shouted pointing to a dark alley in front of them.

They arrived and quickly hauled Matt's body onto the cold, wet pavement.

"Sorry man," the leader said just before he sped away.

Blue sapphire eyes opened somewhat to reveal blurs all around them. He tried to see where he was but couldn't get anything into focus. In almost an instant he was knocked out again as the rain began to come down harder. He coughed once or twice and then vomited up everything he had consumed that night. This is where I would receive the biggest shock of my life.
