Marie's POV------Monday 7:45 A.M
I awoke with the lovely scent of my brother whispering in my ear, "Mommy knows best!" I screamed and shot out bed like a rocket. Conner was laughing his stupid head off. "Not funny, dude!" I screamed, throwing my pillow at him. "Now you've given me another reason to hate you." I scoffed, getting out of bed. "Marie, come on." He said. "Zip it if you wanna get slapped." I said, going to the bathroom. I entered and started brushing my hair. "You're missing your hair tie." He said, handing me my blue hair tie. "You ready for Year 11?" He asked. I gave him a swift glare. "Ready as ever. This summer was the worst!" I groaned, heading into my room to change. I saw the Mommy Long Legs toy on the shelf of my dresser. I sighed and went downstairs where Mom was making eggs. Couldn't she make something a little bit more appetizing? I silently groaned and sat down. She roughly handed me mine, and gave Conner extra. I didn't care though. The faster I finished these stupid eggs, the faster I could leave for the bus. My mother suddenly sat up and slapped me back the so-called test she made me and made me take as practice for my other tests. "You got an A-. Disappointing brat." She murmured as Conner watched. "Look, you made me take it at 11:30 P.M. And that was a week before summer. And now after 3 and a half months your handing it back?!" I asked silently. I so wanted to scream at this woman, but I couldn't if I wanted to get slapped again. She swiftly rolled her eyes and then began munching on her eggs hard. She kinda sounded like the Cookie Monster, but ten times worst. I glared at her and quickly finished the rest of my eggs. "Where do you think you're going?" She asked, suddenly slamming down her fists down on the table. "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to take a ride with Makayla." I answered, slamming my fists on the table back. "Give me your phone! I don't even know how you got one!" She muttered the last part, but I still heard it. "I GOT IT FROM DAD." I sternly said. Our parents are divorced, and Dad actually loves me. Conner was watching and tugged on Mom's sleeve. "What is it baby?" She asked. I almost gagged. This woman. "Maybe don't take away Marie's phone." He said. She glared at him and said back, "This girl needs to be taught a lesson." She slapped my arms making me drop the phone. "Ready to apologize?" She asked, clutching the phone so hard I though it might crack. I slapped her on the face and snatched my phone out of her hand and dashed out the front door. "YOU DISGRACE! YOU #0€!" She screamed as I ran out the door. I could hear Conner running out the door as well so I ran faster. I knew I would be punished for slapping her but it was so worth it. Living with this woman had to be worse than #€||. "Ma-Marie, wait!" Conner screamed trying to catch up to me. I just ran faster, not losing the slightest bit of breath. Once I was sure Conner was far away enough I grabbed my airpod's and popped them in my ears, scrolling down on my phone to find a song to play. I guess I accidentally clicked on something because Enemy by Imagine Dragons started playing. It went, 'Oh, Oh, the misery, everybody wants to be my enemy!' Why did all these lyrics have to be so true. "Marie!" I heard a very annoyingly familiar voice yelling at me to stop while panting to death. I rolled my eyes at him. "What, Conner?" I asked. He slowly got back on his feet. Then I saw the red Porsche driving fast. And I saw a puddle on the sidewalk. Makayla was in the Porsche. She was think what I was. I pushed Conner a little bit and Makayla went right over the puddle splashing him. "Hey Makayla." I sighed, getting into the front seat. "Brother again?" She asked, knowingly. "You know it!" I groaned. "Poor you." She said. "Have you heard about," "NO! I have NOT heard about Catherine." I scoffed. "I'm sorry. But she's SO CUTE!" Makayla gushed. Makayla and Catherine have been friends since Year 6. And Makayla has been crushing on her since Year 7. And She also hates Clyde for liking Catherine since Year 6. He's been chasing her tail. "You can gush about Catherine later. We have more serious matters to attend." I said. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Makayla answered. I knew the minute Catherine got to school with her new hair, Makayla would be gushing over her like she did in Year 9.

Stella's POV------8:00 A.M
Another day at the orphanage and another day leaving. I really hate this stupid place. The only good person in this place is Jack. And the woman in charge of this place is sus. Like, REALLY sus. There's just something about her I do NOT like. I was leaving when I felt a sharp tap on my shoulder. I turned around and was greeted with Jack. I felt a light blush dust on my cheeks. "Hey Stella." He said. "Oh, hi Jack." I giggled. "Ready to leave?" He asked. "Mm'Hm!" I answered. We didn't have a car due to well, the orphanage. So we usually walked to Starbucks before school then we went to school. I was definitely NOT looking forward to Marie. Maybe Ella and Melissa would be nice. "The usual?" Jack asked. "Obviously." I answered, giggling a little bit. We stopped on the road when seeing Melissa and Catherine together. Catherine got a huge glow-up during the summer. "I think Makayla has a shock in for her." I whispered in Jack's ear. He began laughing. "You're right. How much money did 'MoThEr GoOsE' give you?" I asked. "She gave me a whopping £50." He answered. "Great!" "We can go to Starbucks!" I mused. "Yep." He said. This boy. So sweet. NO STELLA NO. He doesn't like you. I argued with myself. We arrived on the sidewalk next to Starbucks and entered. The aroma of cookies and brownies and Mocha's filled the air. "Jack! Can I get that?" I asked, pointing to the Iced Pistachio Latte. "Sure." He answered, putting his arms around my shoulders. "Could we get the Iced Pistachio Latte and the Egg, cheese n' bacon biscuit sandwich?" He asked. "Yes. That'll be £10." The cashier said. "Damn this place is expensive." I murmured to Jack, who laughed. She handed us our drinks and we went to take a seat when Ella and Lexi came in, gushing at the place. Ella was the most popular girl in the grade, and a total sweetheart next to Melissa. Those two girls are saints sent down from god. Lexi could be a bit of a troublemaker, especially since coming from the Legend League, but she was way nicer and a lot less devil-some then Marie, Liam, and Bobby. I quickly started slurping on my latte and Jack started mildly chewing on his sandwich. Ella noticed me and came rushing to us. "Hi!" She greeted us next to Lexi, who looked a little bit annoyed with Jack. Ella began talking and I wasn't gonna lie, her voice even SOUNDS like an angel. I noticed the dirty looks Lexi was giving us. "Well, it's been nice chatting but we really have to go to school." I said, taking Jack's arm and rushing us out of there. 
---------------8:23 A.M
It ain't very easy getting to school when you have to walk, and after doing it for a few years, you'd think we wouldn't be as worn out as we usually get when finally making it to the school. Well, then you'd be wrong. As soon as we arrived I collapsed on the grassy area under the Maple tree in the school yard. I looked around and was met with Melissa and Liam talking, with Marie hiding behind a wall and giggling at whatever Liam was saying. He's super bad when it comes to flirting. And it's been pretty obvious he likes Melissa. Catherine and Makayla were talking, with Makayla gushing over Catherine as usual and being pretty obvious about her feelings towards her. Oliver was getting pushed around again as usual and William was standing up for him. Marie's brother seemed to be trying to talk to her whereas she wasn't answering. Of course she wasn't answering her own brother. She's too self absorbed not to. I had to hold myself from throwing up. That latte did NOT agree with me.

Bobby's POV------8:50 A.M
Students would be pouring in any moment now for school, and I guess they're all just stupid enough not to come early and enjoy school then. Sometimes I really don't get children. This kid Oliver was trying to be annoying again and was flirting (or at least that's what is looked like he was doing) with William, when I came along and gave that idiot a much deserved slap. His eyes started watering and William held him close while yelling at me. I rolled me eyes when I felt a sharp tap on my shoulder. I turned around to be greeting by who I thought was Liam, but was actually Melissa. She's a pretty nice person to everyone, but when it comes to bullying, she changes her tune. It's sometimes so annoying. "Yes?" I asked. Come on! What ELSE was I supposed to say? "Could you say sorry to Oliver for slapping him?" She asked coldly. I looked behind her shoulder but only found a laughing Liam and a crying laughing Marie. Some friends they are. Melissa gave me another huge glare before slapping me in the face and leaving to go with Stella. I felt her hard slap across my face and I heard Oliver chuckling. I ran over to him ready to punch but Melissa gave me another death glare before turning back to Ella. Oliver was lucky today. He wouldn't be for so much longer.

I finished this chapter! I would really appreciate it if you gave my story love! Bye Loners!
