A/N: Thanks for the review!
Flora POV:
I was walking in the hallway, trying to find the cafeteria. I just decided to follow the rest of the students, to see if that's were they were going. I finally reached the cafeteria, and got in line. I looked at the food that they were serving, and picked a salad with an ice tea.
"That will be $8.96." The lunch lady said. Wow I didn't know this school was so expensive. I pulled out my wallet to find that I only had a five dollar bill in there, I cursed myself for forgetting the rest of my money.
"Hurry up!" I heard someone shout from the end of the line.
"Im sorry but I don't have enough." I said quietly, for as long as I could remember my voice has always been soft and quiet.
"No money, no food." The lunch lady said and went to put my food back.
"Wait, Ill pay for her food, and get me a Gatorade." Brandon said coming up from the line. She gave him his drink and my food back.
"You really didn't have to do that." I said walking to an empty table.
"Its no problem, sorry I cut the convo short but I have to go to practice." Brandon waved, and then I noticed he was in his football uniform.
"Excuse me whore, but your at our table." Mitzi said as her and her friends lined up behind her.
"Im s-sorry." I said and got up, only for her to push me on the ground.
"Haha, What a loser." Mitzi laughed and sat down. I picked up my unopened salad and went to reach for my iced tea and tray when somebody else handed them to me.
"Uh, t-thank you." I stammered, standing up and gathering my stuff. I looked up and saw a very pretty girl, with long navy blue hair.
"No problem, Don't let Mitzi push you around like that." She smiled and I nodded.
"Im Musa by the way." She said.
"Im Flora." I said.
"Hey, you should come sit with me and my friends." Musa said.
"Uh, that wont be necessary. I don't want to intrude." I said looking down.
"Bullshit, come on." She said linking arms with me and leading me over to a table with 3 pretty girls at it.
"Flora, this is Tecna, Bloom and-"
"Hey, Flo. Nice seeing you again." Stella smiled and I smiled back.
"I met Flora this morning, she was looking for the main office." Stella said to Musa and Musa nodded.
"Hi Flora, its nice to meet you." Tecna said.
"Yeah, its really nice to meet you. Btw I totally love your shirt." Bloom complimented and I blushed.
"Uh, thanks." I said and tried to smile.
I sat down and looked at the big window that showed the Football field.
"Oh by the way that's Riven, my boyfriend." Musa said pointing to a very good looking guy, with spikey magenta hair.
"That is Timmy, Tecna's boyfriend." Musa said and pointed to a guy with very light brown hair that almost looked orange, and had glasses.
"That is Sky, Bloom's boyfriend." she pointed to a guy with blonde hair.
"And im guessing you already know Brandon." She said and I nodded.
"And last but not least-"
"Helia?" I questioned and she nodded.
"How did you know?" She asked.
"Well he is in my history class." I said and she smiled.
"Oh, that's cool." She smiled and then I noticed that all the guys were on the football team.
"So they all play football?" I questioned opening up my salad.
"Yeah, Helia is quarter back, Brandon and Sky are running backs, and Timmy is on defense." Bloom said and I nodded. All of the guys were cute but Helia was the one who I really paid attention to. But then shrugged it off, he would never date a girl like me.
Then all the guys came in from practice and got there lunch, the five that the girls pointed out came and sat down at our table.
"Uh um, B-Brandon?" I stuttered and he looked at me.
"Uh t-thanks for um, buying me my uh lunch. I didn't get to thank you earlier." I said looking down at my food.
"Its no big deal." He smiled and I nodded.
" I thought lunch was free." Musa said.
"Only if you get what they make. If you get something else like a salad, or a sandwich then they make you pay." Tecna said.
"So how come you didn't get what they made?" Musa asked.
"Well I-im a vegetarian." I blushed.
"Really?" Helia asked and I nodded.
"I never got your name, by the way." He smiled, I looked up at him and our eyes locked.
"My names Flora." I said, surprised that I didn't stutter.
"That's a beautiful name, it suits you." He smiled and I looked away, afraid that my face would turn ever redder.
"T-thank you." I said and the bell rang.
"Hey Flora, I put in all the girls numbers into your phone." Stella smiled handing me my phone back. I gave her a confused look but smiled anyhow.
"Oh okay, thanks. See ya." I waved and walked away, only to walk back to them.
"Do you know were Calculus is?" I asked.
"I can take you there, that's were im heading." Sky smiled and I nodded.
"Thanks." I said and walked beside him.
"No problem." Sky said and we sat down and began the lesson.
A couple hours later school ended and I walked back to the main office. I walked inside, threw the door that leads to the staff room in the back of the main office.
"Hello, Mrs. Griselda." I said as I set my bag down.
"Hello Flora, I need you to go deliver these packets. The teachers names are on the sticky notes on each packet."
"Okay." I said and walked out of the main office, and upstairs to a senior teacher.
"Hello um, Mr. Riffs?" I asked knocking on the door.
"Come in." He said and I walked in and gave him his papers.
"Im here to deliver the packet you have been expecting." I said and he smiled.
"Well thank, what is you name?" He asked.
"Flora Taylors, im new here." I smiled and began to walk out of the room.
"Hold on Mrs. Taylors, are you helping Mrs. Griselda?" He questioned and I nodded.
"Mhm."
"And are you on punishment?"
"No sir." I said and he smiled.
"Well that is excellent! Staying after school to help out a teacher, that is very kind of you." Mr. Riffs said.
"Ill be sure to make that count as one of your senior credits next year." He smiled.
"Thank you sir." I smiled and walked out the room. That was good. I delivered 3 more packets all around the school when I came to the last one, Mr. Banks the football coach. I walked outside on the football field to see the guys practicing.
"Hey." I heard as someone jogged up to me.
"Uh, Hi." I said and smiled a bit.
"What are you still doing here?" He asked.
"Im helping out Mrs. Griselda." I shrugged.
"Are you going to the coaches office too?" he asked and I nodded. He opened up the door for me and I smiled at him, telling him thanks. I handed the coach his packet and left. As I was leaving I heard the coach yelling at Helia, I stopped walking and sat on the top row of the bleachers, waiting for him to come out.
A couple minuets later he came out, and looked at me. I smiled and motioned for him to come and sit, he smiled and jogged up the steps.
"What was that all about?" I asked turning towards him.
"The coach said if I fail my next history exam in 2 weeks, im going to be kicked off the team." He said annoyed.
"I could help you study." I said quietly, waiting for the lame rejection excuse. But instead, I got a bright smile.
"Really?" he asked shocked.
"Yeah." I smiled and he smiled at me.
"Umm, my dad is going away on a business trip tonight so come over Friday around 5." I said and he smiled.
"Don't you need my number?" He asked and I laughed.
"Stella put in the guys numbers too." I said and he laughed, and I waved and walked away.
I walked back into school and into the main office.
"Any more things Mrs. Griselda?" I asked.
"Nope, thank you for your help today, dear." She smiled.
"No problem, See ya tomorrow. " I waved and walked out of the school. I began walking home, praying my dad wasn't home. I got home only to see his car still parked in the driveway.
I silently cursed the gods, and walked inside.
"How was your first day of school?" My dad asked walking down the stairs and standing in front of me.
"It w-was g-good." I stuttered, scared. That's when he slapped me, hard.
"Stop stuttering you little slut!" He yelled as I hit the ground, I tried to hold back the screams of pain because I knew if I didn't he would feel satisfied.
"Im s-... sorry dad." I said trying to get up.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me sir!?" He screamed and kicked me in my stomach.
"Ahh!" I screamed because I couldn't take it. He pulled me by my hair into the garage, and threw me into the wall that had a bunch of nails sticking out of it.
"Ahhh!" I screamed again as the nails sliced threw my skin were he had kicked me at.
"Next time you dis obey me, ill do way worse then you have ever experienced." He spat and left the house. At least he will be gone for a few weeks, maybe even months.
"Ahh." I groaned as I winced in pain, and tried get up. I limped to my room and turned on the shower. I discarded my clothes and pulled my hair out of its ponytail and stepped into the shower.
I winced as the hot water hit my already, large blue bruise, and about 7 little cuts on it. After a while I stepped out of the shower, and got dressed. I laid down in my bed and looked at the only picture I had left of my mom. Im so glad I look nothing like my father because one day when I leave, the only memory I will have of him will be nothing, nothing at all.
