Delilah Martinez is your typical anti-social girl. She's always in between books and her grades. Coming from a dark past changed her view of the world. Her life keeps on falling apart one by one. She has lost hope in reality but maybe she just needs...
Finally, in a place, I know I'm far away from my dark past.
Mom and I moved to California 2 weeks ago. The reason for that was my toxic and abusive dad. He ruined both my mom's and I's lives. If I didn't run out of that house that day I would've died.
Mom is a single mother of one which is me. She is very independent and I wouldn't say we are struggling at all cause Mom can afford our needs and most of our wants. She just got a new job and I would say the pay is amazing.
So far life is going great.
I think.
*** I woke up to my alarm and it's annoying siren. I turned it out and got out of bed. I slid in my slippers and walked to the bathroom where I would do my daily morning routine.
I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and did my skincare and hair care routine.
I walked out of the bathroom and made my way toy closet.
Today is my first day at Conread High School. I heard it had a lot of electives and sports choices so I can't wait to see what I would pick. Everyone started last week but I'm only coming in today cause we had to finish the move-in.
I'm not the type to overdress myself but today I thought I could at least look more presentable before I start rocking sweats to school.
I wore a black corset top with my grey cargo pants and some new balance sneakers. I put on light makeup and bout my hair in a pinned bun

It's hot in California so I don't think I would need a jersey as yet but let me take on just in case.
I took my bag pack and phone and went downstairs to join my mother.
"You look nice." Mom complimented me.
"Thanks thought I might just look presentable for the first day before I rock some sweats for the whole year."
Mom laughed and put pancakes on my plate. "Last year of high school. Let's make the best out of it 'cause I know once you move to college you won't love me anymore."
"That's not true. I promise to check up on you when I go to college. Also, I'm planning on joining an elective or maybe doing sports this year."
"Where's Delilah and what have you done with her"
I rolled my eyes. "Mom it's not funny."
Mom and I talked whilst eating breakfast.
It was time to leave, Mom has a tradition whereas every first day of school she drops me off. So here we go again.
I got inside my mom's Taycan 4 Cross Turismo car. That was her first luxury car she bought herself. She was so happy when she bought it. It's literally her second child.
We drove to school.
We arrived at the gates of the school and Mom drove in. I wasn't late or early I just arrived in time I guess. So they were still students outside and by the parking lots.
I kissed my mom goodbye and got out of the car.
"Don't forget to make friends" Mom said before driving off.
That's when the nerves kicked in. When I felt eyes on me as I walked inside the school. I would pass and here whispers about me.
Deep breathe.
I looked for the administration office. I was following the signs and finally found it.
I walked inside and was greeted by the reception lady. "You must be Delilah, here's your file. Everything is in there including your locked number and code. Welcome to Conread High hope you enjoy your time here Delilah."
I took my file and took the file and walked out looking for my locker number.
107.
Found it. I opened my locker and put some books inside and took out the ones that went with my schedule.
"Hey." A feminine voice came from behind me.
I looked back to see two very beautiful girls. One was blonde with blue eyes and she had freckles on her face. She was very beautiful indeed. The other one had brown hair with blonde highlights, she had Hazel brown eyes and she was indeed beautiful but she was a little short from me and the blonde girl.
I smiled at them. "Hi"
"I know those may look weird, but I'm Josie and this is my friend Jordan, you must be the new girl everyone has been talking about for a week now."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Delilah but you can call me Lilah."
Josie helped close my bag. "Okay Lilah, you now our friend, and now we do everything together. I came as quick as possible before you become friends with the wrong people."
"Let's see your timetable maybe we are in the same classes together." I gave Jordan my timetable and she skimmed through it.
"You lucky we have English and Social studies together and you and Josie have Chemistry and Math together," Jordan said.
I'm so lucky, I won't be in most of my lessons alone.
The bell rang and everyone was walking to their classes. I had English first lesson so Jordan and I walked to English together.
We got in and she made me seat next to her. I took out my books and pencil case as I waited for the teacher to get in.
The door opened and everyone went silent cause they thought it was the teacher but no it was three very attractive boys.
One had brunette hair and he was tall and you could see he was part of the football team. He was jacked indeed.
The one in the middle was very attractive indeed. He had dark brunette hair and green eyes. He had a sleeve tattoo that was visible under his sweater since the arm sleeve was folded. He was tall and I'm sure his the captain.
The one on the other side had dirty blond hair and green eyes. He was tall and attractive too.
They must be popular and I have a feeling the one in the middle is the rude one.
The three boys looked at me and looked at Josie after.
They approached Josie and I.
"Y'all are late, I texted you guys multiple times." Josie stood up and hugged the boys.
The guy pointed at his friend "Blame Xander, he couldn't even pick which ring he wanted to wear."
The boy's attention turned to me and they all introduced themselves.
"Call me Axel"
"I'm Felix."
"His Xander, his shy cause of how beautiful you are." Axel introduced his friend.
I laughed. "I'm Delilah but you can call me Lilah."
