~"She fakes a smile and says she's ok. But in reality, she barely made it through the day."~
I wake up to my alarm clock, beeping loudly and rebounding in my ears, shaking my brain.
I groaned, nearly crying out in pain as I rolled over and switched it off. I roll back onto my back and stared up at my ceiling.
I felt tears roll down my cheeks, winching as the salty tears touched the cuts on my face.
With a sharp inhale I sit up and force myself to face another day. My arms were swollen from the cuts and bruises, along with my legs.
My chest and stomach killed me from the blows my mother had given me last night. Dark marks had formed on my neck from where she had tried to strangle me when I was trying to escape her..
She's a living hell..
I worked down a swallow as I bite down on my lower lip, feeling more pain rush to my body as I walk to the bathroom to shower.
I closed my eyes, letting the hot water burn my skin. Erasing the memories of last night. Well at least it helped erased it..
I step up, dry my ugly and torn up body, brushed and blow dried my hair. I grabbed a pair of black sweat pants and a red hoodie. I put on a new bra and a lose white undershirt. I pulled on a pair of underwear and then my pants, groaning as I felt the fabric touch the engraved words on my legs.
I sighed, taking in a deep breath before putting on my hoodie. I did a side braid and tucked it in my hood, letting my long side bangs cover my face.
I tugged on my black combat boots and looked at the mirror again. I added a touch of concealer to cover up the scars on my face, humming as my wounds sting as I applied the cover up.
I grabbed my bag, phone, books, binders and phone charger and cautiously go down stairs.
"Where the hell do you think your going?!" I gasped as I felt the monster grab me and shove me to the floor.
"My breakfast isn't ready now is it! Do your damn job!" She snapped as I forced myself to get up from the floor and weakly go into the kitchen and make her usual breakfast.
I felt her yank my hair, making me cry out in pain. "Hurry up! I have work to do!" She snapped as she smacked my across the head and stalked to the table.
I felt tears weld in my eyes, as I forced myself to keep them in. Hold it all in.
Once I plated her food I handed it over as she snorted in disgust. "Wow, what an improvement. Maybe you do have some purpose here."
I bite down on my lower lip as I hanged my head, staying silent as always.
"What the hell are you still doing here? Get lost." She sneered, ignoring how my stomach rumbled.
Without hesitation I ran out of the house fast, breaking into a sob just as I make it out of the door.
My phone buzzed and my eyes widened. Shit I'm late!
I tried to run but my body screamed in agony with every step I took. I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath before I started to walk towards the school.
I cut through the park, putting my ear buds in and played "Let you down" by NF. I kept it on reply, feeling the lyrics corse through my brain.
Without looking up as usual I bump into a boy.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't-I was in a hurry and.." The boy trailed off, as I just nodded, gathering up my things.
I worked down a swallow as i stood up, and he stood up as well. "Um I'm-"
"I have to go." I stated in a mono tone, hating my voice, hating that I spoke.
Without another word I run, only catching a glimpse of his outfit and blonde hair.
I shook my head repeatedly getting the boy out of my head and continued to walk to the school, with a warming sensation growing on my cheeks.
Long walk later:
I get to the front of the school to only to hear two people bickering at each other. Even through my loud music I can hear the two shout at each other.
I walk past them and up the steps. As I get through the front doors I see many students still out of their class rooms.
I must've gotten the time wrong..
As I walk in, with my head down I hear many whisper, a few even snickered. "Where the hell did she get those clothes?" I hear one girl hiss.
"This must be a new girl." Said another as more whispers filled my ears.
"She can't even dress herself."
"Is that even a girl?"
"She looks weird.."
"What's with her hoodie? Is she that ugly?"
I worked down a swallow, walking past the other students and to the locker room.
But just before I could get their I bump into someone.
"Ew! Watch where your going!" I hear the person snap as I scrambled to get back up.
"That's the new girl." I hear the red head exclaim as the blonde rolled her eyes.
"What are you blind? Look where your going loser." She spat as she walked by me, shoving me hard, causing me to fall again and my sketch book along with a few binders fall.
She laughed as she walked away with her friend. I closed my eyes, feeling tears fall down my face.
As I gathered my things I hear faint gasped and no one not even caring, trampled over my things to get to the front of the school to see what was going on.
I didn't bother looking back, I just gathered what ever was left from my binders and walked to the locker rooms to drop off my things.
Adrien's POV-
"Adrien please reconsider! You know what your father wants!" I paused, looking to where I hear Natalie's voice.
"But this is what I want!" I snapped as I looked over to where I heard a elderly man fall.
I made my way over and helped the man up.
"Thank you young man." I smiled as I hear his foot steps fade and I made my way back to the steps to the front of the school.
"Adrien we're going home!"
"No! I just want to go to school like everyone else. Be normal.." I spat as I brushed past them.
"Adrien please do not this, your father will be furious." Natalie's pressed on as I clenched my hands into fists.
"I don't care. This is what I want. I'm tired of home schooling, I'm tired of being treated like a little kid, just I'm blind doesn't mean I can't make my own decisions." I stated as I looked over to hear Natalie stepping slowly towards me.
"Adrien you father cares about you.."
I let out a dry laugh. "Like I she my heard that before..just tell him that you came to late or something. Just..please." I begged as she sighed, I worked down a swallow and turned around running into the school.
As I step into the school, I closed my eyes, taking in the deep breath as I felt butterflies form in my stomach.
I paused for a moment, catching on to a voice I know all too well.
"Hey Chloe."
I hear a gasp and loud foot steps coming towards me.
"ADRIKINS!"
Enid's POV~
The bell rings and sighed, slamming my head against the locker, not caring how it made my headache even worse.
I grabbed my binder and grabbed my time table. I take in a deep breath and head into my class.
Of course the blonde tripped me again in the hall way and lots of kids laughed with her. Heat swept through my cheeks as I got up again and continued my way to class.
By the time I got there, mostly everyone was there, including that witch Chloe and her rat friend.
I lowered my gaze as the teacher noticed me. "Oh you must be Enid, class!" All the students went quiet and the teacher smiled, resting a hand on my shoulder, causing my whole body to tense.
"As you all noticed we have a new student with us. Why don't you share something about yourself." The teacher suggested as I stayed silent before looking at the teacher and shaking my head.
She seemed to have been sad about my choice but nodded. "Well why don't you speak mute?" A girl asked with a sneer, my eyes raised as I saw her through the small parts of my hair that didn't shield my face.
Her skin was the colour of creamy coffee. She had brown hair with orange steaks and a plaid shirt and blue jeans.
Her amber eyes seemed to be glowing with amusement as her fixed her glasses back to the bride of her nose.
I worked down a swallow and shifted my gaze down to my feet again.
"That wasn't very nice Ayla." The teacher stated sternly as I hear a few mutters. "Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think she's a weirdo." Another girl grumbled out as the teacher sighed.
"Alix, that also was very rude."
Both girls huffed as the teacher sighed, "hear, sit at the back desk over there. Another student will be joining you shortly."
I don't bother to nod, I just go up the steps. Chloe tries to trip me again but I kept my balance, ignoring the throbbing in my legs I make it to my seat and play another song.
"Adriikins!" I hear Chloe cheer with delight nearly causing me to jump out of my seat.
As I looked up for the first time to see what was going on, my eyes widened.
It was the same boy from the park!
"Oh Adrien so glad you can join us." He smiled at the teacher and nodded.
Just as if he already knew I was staring which I was he turned his head, looking directly at me. At that moment, my heart nearly stopped beating.
He's blind...
