Chapter 1

-Jesse Hayes- 

A yawn ran through my body. To the sound of my loud, blaring alarm I woke up. It was so cool to wake up at 6:00.

Before, It was always early mornings, fueled by caffeine. But I wasn't trying to stunt my growth at all. I don't know if the caffeine thing is true but I'd rather not risk it.

Just to get there on time I would have to get up at 5:00, but now the 10-minute drive to my new school allowed for a much better sleep schedule.

I get up, brush my teeth, and prep my skin. I don't look very pretty in the mornings, but who does? 

I had bags under my eyes, which I had to aid with a cube of ice I got from the freezer.

They were probably from the weeks upon weeks of late nights. Between recitals, rehearsals, studying, physical therapy, and my actual job, I've been pretty tired.

I ended physical therapy a few weeks ago though.

With sports off my plate now it's a little easier on my body. I hate that I got injured but, since I quit the sports I was doing I've been a lot more relaxed. It's not like I'm spending all day at my desk though, my job has a lot of physical activity.

Even though I'm taking 11th grade off from sports I'm still conditioning and prepping for my senior year. I am considering doing club volleyball though.

Coach Logan from my old school just so happens to coach here too so every Saturday and Tuesday before work I might go hit weights or work on plyometrics.

Ms. Ellis gave me the next two weeks off so, I get a break for now. I love my job but having to deal with kids that get in my way is annoying. But the thing is if i run them over either on purpose or by accident I'm liable. Some parents need to get those little crotch goblins.

I'm just going to pretend like I wasn't an annoying kid for most of my life. I was a walking condom commercial.

I start the shower, leaving my clothes for the day in there just so the few wrinkles would come out, from the steam. I stand in the water just letting it wash over my body, and I scrub with my Dr. Bronner's soap.

I wear my favorite shoes today. A pair of White and Black 550s. 

I bought some new denim cargos too, then I just wore a white graphic T-shirt with a cool car on it. I got my second piercing in for my birthday a couple of years ago. Colton has made it very clear I look a little emo with them in. I'm not emo. . . anymore.

It was a phase that lasted a long amount of time more than it should've been

I got this necklace from Lewis. It has a grenade on it, from my very long and very unbearable My Hero Academia phase. But its become a part of my wardrobe. I put on some beaded bracelets and looked in my mirror.

I do a light makeup look. Mainly just concealer, highlighter, eyeliner, mascara, and some lipgloss. As for my hair, It's all good. Since I have locks, all I need to handle is the curly ends I left.

My hair is Red, I dyed it with an ex-girlfriend of mine. I sigh thinking about her. Not because I love her or miss her, mainly because of all the shit she put me through.

I look presentable. Not my best but I look good. The goal is to make a good first impression.

At the previous school, I had everything I wanted. No one at that school I hated, except one person. But the school was so small it was hard to beef with anyone. For a grade with about 75 kids, everybody had known everybody since kindergarten.

It's also a school full of weirdos so how can you beef with someone for being weird when you are just as weird if not worse?

I won't say I'm nervous to start at a new school. It's not that I'm bad with people or anything. I just don't really know anyone who has gone there previously. Except for Catherine, but I don't like her and she doesn't like me anymore.
