Clarissa's P.O.V

"The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout ,down came the rain and washed the spider out,out came the sun and dried up all the rain now the itsy bitsy spi----"

I sprunged up frightened!

"What the actual fuck!" I yelled furiously.

Wincing , I realized how loud I shouted. With a groan, I dreadfully got out of bed and was horrified to see the sight infront of me, "It probably wasn't the best idea to put that mirror there", I thought as I made my way to the bathroom.

After taking the next 20 minutes to make myself look and smell like i'm not dying, I went downstairs, admant to find the culprit that set my alarm ringtone on that ridiculous nursery Rhyme, although I do have a hunch.

"Caroline! What the hell did you do to my Cardi B ringtone?!", I yelled as soon as I got downstairs.

No response.

I'll get you caroline.

Oh I'll get you good.

I saw my mom sitting at the small wooden table reading her daily newspaper with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Good Morning Mom", I said to her.
"Good Morning Clarissa" She responded. I forced a smile on my face, the same old routine every morning. I sat in the living room eating the breakfast my mother made for me and awaited for Caroline to drive me to school.

Ever since my dad died, my sisters and I moved in with my mom because we didn't exactly have a choice, that was eight years ago yet it felt like it was just yesterday.Getting lost in my thoughts, going down on memory lane to where my mom and I got so distant.

You see, my mom left us when I was three years old, my sisters Caroline and Camilla was seven years old and twelve years old respectively.

I loved my mom so much, I visited her regularly but at nights she would leave me alone in her house to go to some party with her friends, I was afraid because all the lights were off, I would start crying my eyes out, pounding on the door repeating my mantra over and over again, "Mommy!Mommy!Where are you?"
But I never recieved any responce, well atleast not from her.

My mother's neighbour would unlock the door for me and hushed me to sleep, I didn't realized that she never wanted me until I was about six years old, so I stopped, I stopped chasing after someone who wants to run away from me.

My sisters never forgave my mother for bailing on them and they had a right not to. I guessed if I was older and was able to comprehend what was really happening I would hate her too.

Camilla moved in with her boyfriend since she was nineteen years old and was old enough to make her own descision when dad died because she said that she would never live with our Pyschopathic mother. Caroline and I couldn't do that because I was still nine years old and Caroline was fourteen. Caroline and Camilla was more close than I was with any of them. I was envious but mostly lonely, after my dad got murde----

"Hellooo, earth to Clarissa" huh?oh, I zoned out, snapping back to reality I saw Caroline looking at me with an amused expression.

"Are you daydreaming about Alec?" She teased. "Nooo, that's---impossible, he's such a jerk, not to meantion he doesn't even know that i exis---"

Oh no no I don't want her to know that I care if he knows that I exist or not, she would never let this go.

Alec is my neighbour, he also goes to the same school and he's oh so Mr. Popular, He's swoon worthy hot with a sharp jawline with piercing hazel eyes, NOT THE POINT CLARISSA, SNAP OUT OF IT! HE'S A MAJOR DOUCHE BAG!

Okay, that was judgemental considering the fact that I don't know him personally and all.

"You ready Rissa?" Caroline came back downstairs with her key. Huh, I didn't even noticed that she wasn't here.

I checked myself in the mirror, I looked pretty good. I was in a white sweater paired with my favorite black skinny jeans paired with a white converse.

Okayyy I never said that I was girly!

"Yeah let's go" I replied briefly.
I stepped outside feeling the harsh cold wind blow on my face making my face flush, It was getting closer to december so the time is getting alot more colder here New York. I looked over at Alec's home and saw his motorcycle In the driveway, I guess he's going to be "fashionably late" I guess. Chuckling at that thought Caroline sped out of our driveway and drove me to school.

I thought it would be a "normal" day at school. Fake smiles and pretending to be the person I am not anymore. I thought wrong. If I knew what awaited me at that hell hole, I would've never come.
