"I'm so fucking tired of your worthless ass!" My mother screamed coming up to me where I was cleaning in the kitchen and held my arm tightly in a fierce grip. I tried hard not to flinch and make her even angrier. But it was of no use since she was angry all the time anyways.  "W-what happened?" I don't stutter, but I can't help it around her, her presence alone made fear establish in my bones and be scared. Was this normal? To be this scared of your mother? She let go of my arm and picked up the glass I just washed and smashed it onto the wall behind me, Woah, easy there lady.  "I had to spend my fucking money on your fucking school fees that I could've spent on my beer" She seethed in anger. She was furious, her eyes were bloodshot, her greasy black hair fell over her pale face and her lips quivered. That always happened when she didn't get her drugs on time. She was a fudging addict! I sh

My peaceful and deep slumber was disturbed when I felt a continuous poke on my arms and face. I furrowed my eyebrows and heard a loud shriek. Eh, it was nice till it lasted. Yawning, I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms a little behind my back. This was the best sleep I've ever had. I opened up my eyes and jumped when I found a face too close for my liking. My eyes widen and I crawled backward picking up a pillow and putting it in front of me as a shield. The energetic boy that resembled a puppy stared at me with wide blue eyes and an open mouth and I saw Elijah staring off into space laying on his bed crossing his arms behind his head. "Is-is- t-that...i-is that a Giiiiirrrrlll?" The puppy boy stumbled upon his words screeching and he said the word 'girl' like it was some sort of disease. I blinked up at him and he broke out in a wide teeth-splitting grin. "I can't believe we'

I gasped in horror as the water dripped down Elijah's hair and his clothes onto the floor. He gritted his jaw and clenched his fist, I could feel the anger radiating from his.Was he now about to go all hulk mode on us?Just as I was about to jump out the window, he did something really unexpected. He picked up the paint tube and squirted it all on Nate who squealed and ran around but Elijah ran after him squirting it all over Nate. I laughed loudly but my laughter died down when Nate picked up another paint tube and started to squirt on me. I shrieked and picked up the tube and bent down hiding underneath the table. Poking my head out, I peeked at both of them who picked up the tables and used them as shields and occasionally throwing paints and water at each other. There was silence for a few seconds. "I'm gonna fucking kill you" Elijah grumbled hiding behind the table while Nate

"What happened?" I blurted out curiously not thinking about how annoying that probably made me seem."I got mugged on my way here by some guys but I beat them all" I gave him a wide smile and patted his thick bicep."Woah, that's so cool" I gushed in excitement and I waved my hands around. I have always wanted to get involved in a fight.Elijah raised his brow, his lips twitching upwards in a smile but he hissed in pain at his knuckles and cheek. My eyes widen when I thought about the mini first aid kit in my bag. I ran back to where I carelessly threw my empty bag and took out a mini kit from a hidden compartment.This has become a habit, I guess, to carry a kit with you everywhere in case your wound opens up, you never know.Elijah raised his brow-yet again- when I brought up the kit to him."Do you want to do it yourself or I can do it for you?" I suggested him with a small smile and he nodded his head offering his hand to me.Havi

The days passed by in a blur and soon it was Monday as I get ready for the first day of my senior year. I haven't felt this happy and laughed so much in years. It felt nice and lovely. I never wanted this feeling to go away, I wanted it to remain in my heart forever.Elijah was, yet again, not here when I woke up. His side of the bed was empty when I woke up so I assume he went to where he went the night I woke up. My mood faltered slightly but I didn't let it ruin the mood entirely so I put on a strong big girl facade ignoring how I was crippling inside.I pouted as I tightened the belt around my waist all the way to keep it from falling but it still did nonetheless. The school didn't provide girls' uniforms because it was a boy's school duh. So I had to wear the boy's one but I was thankful for it. I'd hate to be the odd one out at least this way, it'd help me mix up with them.But the problem was, that even their smallest size was big for me it was way too bi
