The annoying noise of my alarm begins to sound, although that doesn't wake me up. Instead I jolt awake in my sea of blankets once I hear the door swing open. I look around quickly gazing around my tiny room which is literally the smallest room in the house. My eyes look everywhere until they quickly reach the door. My hands begin to shake, but they are hidden underneath the blankets luckily. At the doorway stands confidently my Aunt grinning at how shooken up I look. She begins to raise her voice towards me.
"Get up now, you still have to go to your new school today. Which you are lucky to get to go to. The only reason you are able to attend this famous school is because of who your parents were and who you are now." Aunt says while glaring at me. I swear I could feel her brown eyes heating up the room but regardless I nod my head and she leaves.
I look at my alarm clock reading 5:45am. I let out a heavy sigh and get on with my morning routine. My first stop? The bathroom.
I rush over to the bathroom across the hall from mine and shut the door behind me. Locking it before my Aunt could barge in again. I brush my teeth, shower and then I wash my face and quickly after letting my face mask sit for a little while. I then return to my room, not daring to look down the hall.
I go to my dresser and pull out my uniform. "*I just haveto look good today. First impressions are everything." I think to myself while quickly stepping into my favourite plaid skirt. Then throwing on my unifomed top with the school's logo on it over top of my white collared shirt. Sitting down only to pull up my knee high black socks. Lastly finish my look with my earbuds that slip right behind my hair just beside my bangs as I race downstairs phone in one hand and my blue backpack in the other.
I slip on my shoes and decide to skip breakfast that morning and to pick up a smoothie on the way to school. I put on a fake smile and make my way outside.
The bright light of the sun blinds my eyes making me remember what it is like to have people trying to take pictures of you wherever you go. The only reason they weren't here right now was because it is private property.
"I'll take the alleyways to school today.*" I think to myself quickly opening the back gate and running to the alleyway across the street. Careful not to have been seen, I double check making sure no one is following me while over hearing the press all at the front of my house.
I continue walking while checking behind me every second. As soon as I reach a turn I check behind me once more while I keep on walking. Although suddenly my head bumps into something hard and I look up to see a tall lean man. Who appears to be a smoker with the smell that clings to him.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you manners little girl?" He says while his arms plant against the wall so I can't escape.
I look around eager to find someone to help me but there is no one in sight. I try to duck under his arms while telling him "I...I'm so sorry about that. Anyway I'll be on my way now."
Although he blocks me right away. "You aren't going anywhere." He leans in so close you can smell the alcohol escaping from his breath.
I continue to look around only seeing one or two people pass by glancing over towards me but leaving for their lives. I take a deep breath and begin to panic slightly.
"Hey aren't you that famous actress and singer, Bella White?"
I begin to feel a little bit better hoping to make a deal with him now. "Ah.. Yes are you a fan I can give you my autograph if you wou-."
"Nah I'd rather take you out for a drink." He grabs my wrist. Although I try to escape I'm too weak and he begins to pull me along in the opposite direction I was headed yet staying in the alleyways.
"Help!" I cry only to realize no one will come for me. All I did was anger him he throws my back against the hard wall. As the pain hits me. He raises his hand either to hit or slap me. I didn't know which and I didn't want to find out. I brace myself for it closing my eyes tightly.
