   Chapter 1 
   "Riely! Get up!" yelled my mother. "Urrgh. I'm too tired!" I said as I pulled the covers over my face after my mother opened my blinds. "Honey, you need to wake up, it's your first day of high school. You don't want to be late do you?" As she said that I jumped up from my bed and picked up my outfit which was, a white tank top with a crop top pink sweater with faded skinny jeans, black converse, and a chain earing on one ear, also little curls in my hair. As I finished taking a shower, and getting ready, my mom scared half to death by standing in front of my door and saying, "Oh honey, those curls look so beautiful with your brown hair." "Umm, thanks..." Since I didn't want to get more into that conversation, I slipped past my mom and went to the pantry and grabbed a poptart, shoved it in my mouth, and as I grabbed my keys to my car, I yelled to my mom, "Later mom, goin' to school!" And just as I was opening the door my mom said, "Bye honey, have a good day and,.." I didn't hear the rest of what she was saying because I already closed the door behind me and was riding down the street. 
   
   
   
   Chapter 2 
    As I got to school, I went straight to where my best friend was standing. And as usual, she was under a tree, kissing her boyfriend, Mike. "Hey!" "Hey!" "HEY!!" I try to get their attention but it's hard to when they are not listing to you and that have their face smashed into someone else's. Finally I gave up trying and went to my locker. In summer school (yes I had to go to summer school) I already knew where everything was. I was closing my locker door when someone said, "Hey!" I literaly jumped and slammed my face into my locker door. "OOOOOOO, I bet that hurt." The person said. "Yeah, well no duh." I said that as I turned around to see who the voice belonged to.  Oh my gosh! It's..It's..It's Jacob!   
   
   
   
   Chapter 3 
   Ring! Ring!  As everyone got up to leave Mrs. Crawlod yelled, "Class be seated! The bell does not dismiss you, I do. Now sit down!"  Then what is the bell for?  I thought. After Mrs. Crawlod gave us our homework assignment, I shot out of the classroom, went to my locker, and again, there was another "Hey!" And I jumped again. But luckly I didn't hit my locker door. "hey," I said weakly not turning around.  Gosh I hate having a crush on him! And why does he have to talk to me?  "So, I was wondering.." Before he could say anything I lifted my head up to meet his eyes,  oh they are soo,  Sam called me over shaking me out of my daydreams.  Thank God!  "Oh, sorry got to go. Um.. bye?" I said walking backwards. "Yeah bye. Se you tommorrow." He kind of sounded a little deflated. "OMG!!!!! THAT WAS JACOB? WASN'T IT! YES IT WAS!! OMG WHAT DID HE SAY? WHAT WAS HE SAYING? I WANNA KNOW!" Sam yelled in my ear. "Um I don't know. You called me over here before he could say anything." "oh. OH WELL! GOT TO GO BACK TO MIKEY-POO!" Sam yelled. She always yelled. "Mikey-poo?! Serioulsy. Ha! That sounds retarded. Poor Mike." I laughed at that. But Sam glared at me. As always, she is a drama queen. Like when her brother, Justin, stepped on her favorite shoe, she started whining about how it has germs and dirt on it now. And let me tell you this, you couldn't see ant footprints or dirt on it, it looked the same. But I still love her (in a friend way). Then I walked to the parking lot, got in my car, and drove home. 
   
   
   
   Chapter 4 
    When I got home my mom was waiting at the front porch for me in her work clothes. And let me tell you, she did not look happy. As I walked up the porch to meet my mother, I noticed it wasn't anger it was more like sadness. Before I knew it she started bawling. "Oh! Mom what's wrong?" "It..It..It's your,..fathe..er." And that was all she could get out before I stormed into the house and found my father in bed with another women! I kicked open the door and shouted at my father, "WTF! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED MY MOTHER!!!" I started crying mad hot tears. "I... I.. I do. I.." studderd my father. "Aww shut up! I can see that you love that  women  more!" I spat "I can see her right there! That  fat  lump in the bed! She's trying to hide herself. She's so stupid! For sleeping with a man that is married and has THREE children!" "Don't say that she is stupid and fat! She is beautiful." I almost puked at that thought and the meaning of  beautiful . "Aha! I knew it! You love her more than mom! But why would you do that to her!" I yelled. "I... I thought she was seeing another man too." He said defensively. "Ya she was. FOR WORK! And she was not sleeping with him!" "Oh.'' "Ya! And if you didn't know, then don't just asume and sleep with someone else!" I pressed back. Now the women had poked her head out of the sheets. And I couldn't stop my self from saying this, "You fat, ugly, stupid, women! You slept with my father! And I bet you knew that he had a wife and kids didn't you?" She shook her head slowly and had a scared expression on her face. "yes.'' She said in a tiny voice. "GET OUT!!!!!!!!" I screamed at her. And she looked very scared now. And I was also suprised at the tone of my voice. Then she scrambled out of the bed and grabbed her clothes from the floor and rushed out of the room. Thank goodness she had her underwear on. "Now you..." I pointed a slim finger at my dad. 
   
   
   
   Chapter 5 
    I sat on my bed and cried my eyes out. There was a knock on my door and it slowly opened to reveal my mother. She closed the door behind her, and came up to my bed next to me and cried her eyes out with me.  
     
     
   
   
   
   Chapter 6 
    Ever since my dad left us, I started to change. My straight A's had dropped down to B's and C's. I became a little more moody. I was always late, mono-toned, and in my own daydreams. I also changed my apperance. I cut my hair so inow it has blue highlights in the front. I mostly always wore dark colors. And my black coverse's. But I'm not the only one who has changed, my sister quit all her sports and became a lazy person. My mom has either been in bed or working. The only person who hasn't changed was my brother. He's still the same little ninja turtle obsessed baby brother.  
   A week later Sam came up to my locker and waited for me to be done. "Whatdoyouwant." I said in a bored mono-tone voice. "I just wanted to ask you what's been going on that I nned to know about." "Thereisnothingtotell." I sighed. I wanted to tell Sam I just couldn't, it's too hard to tell. "Don't lie to me Rye. I can see sadness is your eyes. What's wrong?" Sam pleaded me to tell her. "LikeIsaidthereisnothingtotell.NowI'mgoingtoclass." I said as I closed my locker and turned around and started to class. "Oh come on! You can tell me anything. I'm your best friend. So just tell me!" She pleaded. "I SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL!" I yelled at her. That's the first time I have yelled at Sam. She looked shocked and I was too. "Oh... ok. Well goodbye Riely." Sam said as she walked off. Everyone was staring at me like I was some kind of monster. But I guess I am. No one every yelled at Sam, she was too sweet. I couldn't take it anymore. I'm tired of people giving me dirty looks and staring at me like I'm a piece of crap. So I ran out of the school trying to not cry in front of people.  
   
   
   
   Chapter 7 
   Since my mom wasn't home I went home. But I thoight I was home alone but then I saw a blonde head sitting on the couch. My heart rate picked upbecause honestly, I don't really have good defensive skills. But then slowed down when I found out it was just my sister. "Hey Riely! I didn't know that today was a half day." Whitney says al liitle slurred. My face started to heat up.  Oh no! Busted.  Whitney stood and tried to turn but she kind of stumbled off the couch. "Have you been drinking?" I said as my face started to cool off and go back to the normal color. It sure seems like it since she's swaying so much. "What pushttttttttt no!" Even though she said that she wasn't I could still tell. I sighed and went up the stairs to get the puke bucket. Every time she get's drunk, she always pukes it up. When I got it I didn't really feel like going all the way downstairs so I just threw it over the railing. I meant for it to hit the floor, but instead it hit my sister right square in the face. "OWWWWWWWW!" I had to cover my ears because she is so dang LOUD! "Sorry!" But I wasn't that sincere. It was halirious! "Now I can't watch tv, cause' I have to put a #@&%$! bag of %$&@#!& peas on my face." She mumbled. "Whatever." I laughed while walking to my bedroom. My bedroom has changed with me also. It has dark purple walls, a queen size bed with a black conforter with purple a blue zebra stripes. Besides that my room is the same. I didn't really have a lot of things in my room. But I did have a desk that I dared not to change. My bestfriend in New york made it for me. Yeah, I lived in NY. It's no biggie, it was for my dad's work. Ugh. My dad. I almost cried at the thought of my dad. I thought back to all the good times I had with my dad but my mom's voice interuppted my thoughts. "Ry! Someone's here for you! RY?" "Comin' mom." I groned. I stoped being mono-toned, but now I'm always annoyed. I wonder who's at the door though. 
     
     
     
   
   
   
   Chapter 8 
   When I got to the door it was opened and I saw a man, that man was middle-aged. But I couldn't see his face. But when he turned around I realized it was my dad... Just then before I could say anything my mom came rolling up in her car to the driveway.  "Oh no"     
     
   "WHO'S AT THE DOOR??" Whitney screamed. "Uh, you should see for yourself." I half whispered.
