1 chapter 1

Tania wake up you got to go to school,my dad screams from downstairs.i slowly get up so I don't hit my head,since mama left I moved all my things to the attic.i felt safe and quiet there. I brush my teeth and take my bath by the time I'm done it's almost eight,I quickly wear my new skinny jeans that dad got me, a black hoodie and my leather boots.i pack my hair into a rough bun and head downstairs to the kitchen where dad was.

"morning" I say, I know you don't like School but you do know you have to go know matter what,dad says while drinking his coffee, I stare blankly at him as I pour milk into my bowl of cereal. when I am through with breakfast I pick up my car keys and hug dad goodbye. you are my strong angel,he says sadly and I rush out before he sees the tears in my eyes.

As I drive into the school compound my mood changes. I have never been happy at school. I've got good grades and all but I always get bullied by the popular kids specially the queen bee Ashely , I'm about to park when a car speeds in front of me and parks at the space I was about to park. I sigh loudly when I see it's the devil herself Ashely and her gang. she shuts the door of her car and screams at me, go park that raggedy old vehicle at the dumpster. I just ignore her and find a better parking space.

By the time I get to my locker I meet my best friend and only friend since kindergarten Amanda waiting for me.

Thank God I thought you weren't coming anymore, she exhales.

I laugh at her as we head to class.

so any new plans for this year like breaking down your walls and making new friends, Amanda teases me.

I will make friends but I just don't know who to trust you know besides I don't think you want anyone snatching me away from you,I reply back at her.

I love you,she says then she open her mouth in an Oh shaped I look back and I see the new quarterback and Amanda coming into the class, He looks so mysterious with his gorgeous blue eyes that look like the sky and his muscles.Hey stop drooling, Amanda hits me playful. i turn my head away and look out the window imagining the good things life could offer.
