Just another average Monday morning.. 6:00 am alarm to get ready for school.
6:13
I finally roll out of bed and brush my teeth. I decide to wear a grey hoodie with black leggings and grey ughs. I put my long brown hair in a fishtail braid. I feel like this outfit dulls my bright blue eyes. Oh well.
I skip breakfast as usual and just decide to get into my white gtr and drive to school. My cars great, but money doesn't buy happiness.
Early as fuck as always.
So I decide to go to the sitting area outside by the trees, it's a gloomy day and it's probably gonna rain so nobody's outside.
8:45
Five minutes till the bell, better get going.
English is first, my favourite class. I sit in the back and just write my book essay that was signed yesterday, I finished the book in one night of course. Stayed up until 3am so I'm so tired.
Now it's music class.. not just any music class. The singing kind, my parents insisted i take it because they say I'm amazing.
...we have a singing assignment... I wish I could get out of it. But I guess it'll be fine.
Brittany's singing..
"F to the E to the R to the GIE"
"Fergie"
"I blow up in the gym.. just working on my fitness"
Ouch my ears! Wrong lyrics.. and terrible singing..
Teacher: "alright that was uhm great, next up is Esme"
"I'm only human"
"And I bleed when I fall down"
"There's words in my head"
"Knives in my heart"
"You build me up, then I fall apart"
"Cause I'm only humannnn"
I thought I did okay.. but not a single person clapped except for the teacher.. the entire class clapped for Brittany..
Now it's lunch.. I'm just gonna go sit out by my tree..
WHAM
Ouch.. what did I just run into..
I should've looked where I was going
I look up and realize I ran into Brandon.. Brittany's boyfriend
Brandon: "gross. It just touched me"
Esme: "s-s-s-sorry"
Brandon: "I didn't hear you bitch!"
Esme: "..I'm sorry"
Brandon grabs me by my braid and whips me to the ground.
Brandon: "watch where you're going next trash!"
There were so many people around.. laughing.. not a single person trying to help.
I decide the best idea is to run off into my secret place in the forest near the school.
I climb to my favourite tree..
and I take out my best friend..
my blade.. my third favourite one.. it wasn't as sharp as my favourite but it did a good job.
I pull up my left sleeve and realize there isn't much room so I go to my right and pull it up and there's four inches of old scars not touched for at least a month, so I drag my blade across my wrist.. once.. twice.. three times.. I stop once I hit 22. There's a lot of blood.. thankfully I keep an extra sweater in my bag. I grab my small towel from my bag and hold it against my arm to stop the bleeding. Then I put on my black sweater and put the blood covered sweater and towel away.
I'm back at school and I missed science so I go to math instead.
After school I work at the local cafe, I don't need the money but I like making my own money. I've been working there for three years now.
I get dressed in my uniform, it had short sleeves so I worse a black turtleneck underneath my green work shirt.
It's a normal shift, I've seen all my regulars.. had a break.. drank some lemonade.
But than this really hot guy walks through the doors. He looks like he's around my age, maybe 17. But damn is he hot.. okay cool it Esme.. just take his order and act normal.
Esme: "hello.. I'm Esme I'll be your cashier today what would you like?"
Ashton: "well I'd like a coffee, two milk two sweetener, your number and a chocolate chip muffin"
Esme: "alright your total will be, wait what?"
Ashton: "oh my bad my names Ashton"
Esme: "well Ashton your total is 4.75.."
Ashton: "is that including your number?"
Esme: "I don't give my number out to strangers"
He hands me a hundred dollar bill
Ash: "keep the change love"
That's when I notice his British accent..
Esme: "I don't need the change but I'll give it to my coworkers, thanks though"
Ash: "nice person much?"
I roll my eyes and when I'm giving him his coffee and muffin I write down my number on the receipt
Esme: "keep the receipt"
He looks down at the receipt and smiles.
Two hours later my shifts over and I'm walking out to my car when my phone dings
It's an unknown number
"You look amazing in your uniform"
Oh so it's Ashton..
I quickly change his name to Ash and type a reply to fuck with him
E: "Uhm who are you?"
A: "Esme it's me! Ashton"
E: "I don't know any Ashton's and my names not Esme"
A: "oh I'm sorry for the confusion.. I just met this really cute girl and I guess she gave me a fake number.."
I bursted out laughing
E: "you're really easy to mess with"
A: "I'll get you back for that"
