Chapter 2: Night and a normal day at school.

As Bethany walked down the stone steps to the basement with the laundry basket in her hand, she
nearly tripped over Melissa's gameboy (adv, sp). She sighed as she put it in her basket to put on the
shelf and went to do the laundry.

Bethany looked at the ceiling of her room in the darkness of the night. She watched the dark room
which had been her home for 4 years. They never celebrated her birthday and that was the day her
parents had died in a fire. In he closet were the few clothes she owned but she did have one nice shirt
and one nice pair of pants. She sometimes wondered why her Step-Mother had even gotten them for
her... But there was lot's of time to wonder as she was almost always alone. The rest of her clothes
came from second hand stores. On the dresser there was nothing but a lamp, a clock and a doll that her
parents had given her for her 10th birthday right before the fire that came a day later. After a little while.
She did not know how much time exactly but she restlessly fell asleep jut like every other day for the
past 4 years...

Monday Morning

(A/N: That last part shoulda been part of the first chapter I think, and now I can't really 'member why I
didn't add it but I think it had something to do with time or something! But anyway Yeah!)

Monday, Bathany woke up at 6:15am to the sound of her alarm clock. She yawned . She woke up this
early because it was the only time she could use the washroom. She didn't need it very long but she also
had to fold, iron etc. and put away the laundry from the last night as well as the dishes. Once her
Step-Sister tried waking up early so that Bethany could not get the washroom but after awhile she
decided it wasn't worth to wake up that early and went back to the habit of waking at 7:15 an hour
later. She had a quick shower and went to get the laundry. By the time she was done, it was 7:30 and
she had only 15 minutes to pack her lunch and get ready which she was also used to. She had to walk
but John and Melissa got a drive to school.She didn't mind though since she like walking along the
paths she missed while grounded.

At school she went to see Stefanie, one of her only friends. Stefanie had been her friend since day one
and she didn't care about what Melissa said about Bethany because she didn't believe it. They sat on
the steps talking about they're weekend... Bethany's was pretty uneventful but she was a good listener
and listened to Stefanie talk about her new cell phone and going to the movies with Jake, one of the
hottest and nicest people in the school. Soon the bell rang and they had to run to homeroom, they
weren't in the same gr.9 class this year but they always sat together at lunch and they had their lockers
pretty close to each other. They said bye as they walked into their separate class rooms.

Bethany's teacher Ms. Corbeln, looked up and smiled at Bethany as she took her spot at the back of
the class. She sat next to Jadon, who was one of Jake's best friends. He was also pretty nice. He
smiled at Bethany and said hi. She said hi back and sat down in her seat.

"So how was your week?" Jadon asked.

"Hmm, uninteresting...boring..." Bethany replied looking in her agenda and hiding her face.
"How about yours?"

"Pretty much the same really..." Jadon replied. Then the bell rang and the last few students walked into
class before getting the door shut on them. And the morning announcements started right after leaving
no time for Bethany and Jadon to finish their conversation which was ok since first period was science
and the science teacher, Mrs. Quaid wasn't very good with names so they were still in alphabetical
order even though it was May, Bethany Wheeler and Jadon Waller were right next to each other on the
list.

At lunch time , Bethany went to find Stefanie and found her sitting at the table right next to the door.
When she saw Bethany she waved and told Bethany to hurry up and get her tray etc. For lunch
Bethany had a salad with nothing in it but lettuce and dressing(ceasar) and a banana for dessert.
Stefanie on the other hand had fries with pizza and chocolate milk. How Stefanie ever got food so fast
was a mystery to Bethany and how she could even find a spot to sit among all these people.

"Bethany, Bethany did you hear about the end of year dance? It's only for gr.8, gr.9 and 10"(Their school has 5 grades, 7, 8, 9, 10 , 11 ) Stefanie pretty much shouted at Bethany as she sat down.

"Oh, how exiting.!" Bethany sighed back not bothering to hide her sarcasm. She never really liked
dances where she stood on the side watching others dance and she never had anything nice to wear
either. It wasn't that she was ugly, she was actually very pretty but no one really wanted Melissa to get
mad at them...As sweet as she acted she could send your social satus down the drain. One poor guy
discovered this last year after making a joke about Melissa and putting it on the school website.

(AN: Sry fer the huge cliché kinda thing... I hate them but I couldn't word it...Sry!)

"Please will you come! PLEASE! I really want you to come!" Stefanie asked or pleeded. She always
did whenever there was a dance coming around.

"OK I guess I'll come but you better stay with me for awhile!" Bethany replied smiling at her friend. "
but what will I wear?"asked Bethany almost rolling her eyes.

"Don't worry we'll find something very nice for you or you can borrow one of mine!"

"OK, ok, that is if I can even go!" Bethany tried sounding exasperated but she couldn't keep from
smiling anyway. She loved how her friend was always happy and positive so unlike herself..
