The next morning, to obnoxious ringing from the side of my bed. I shut my alarm clock off and sat up, rubbing my eyes tiredly.

The events from two nights before were still fresh in my mind. Yesterday, I spent my first day before school moping but that day, I was pissed off and nervous.

The first day at a new school. The nerves were pileing over. I was nervous about being the new girl. I was nervous about what people's would think of me. What would people say about me? Would they like me?

Along with the nerves, there was anticipation and excitement. I was genuinely excited about going to a new school and hoping to make some new friends.

Then the realization set in that I wasn't going to be at school alone, no. I forgot about Avery, Hayes, Kaden and Blake. They would be going to my school too. They would be there too.

All thoughts of school vanished and my mind was filled with the thoughts from last night.

Just an orphan girl kissing ass. She doesn't belong here. Sucking up to Elijah and Ryder. No place for a little girl.

Their words still hurt and the anger started bubbling up again.

I shook my head, "No. Stop thinking about them. They don't deserve it." I murmured to myself.

My ribs weren't aching so that meant no painkillers needed this morning so I jumped out of bed and went straight to my closet. I got out a new pair of ripped, high-waisted, faded grey skinny jeans, the red, cropped Gucci hoodie that Ryder got me and a pair of red Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro. I grabbed underwear and socks and trudged into my bathroom.

After a quick shower, I walked out of my bathroom freshly dressed and my teeth brushed. I stopped in front of my vanity before I left room and my eyes landed on the $50 bill sat on my vanity. I picked it up and examined the note.

Did someone drop their money in my room or something? I shrugged and stuffed the money on my jeans pocket, deciding to ask Ryder and Elijah about it since they were the only ones in my room.

I brushed my hair and made two French braids that went past my shoulders. When I deemed myself perfect for second first day of school first impression, I nodded at myself in the mirror.

I grabbed my phone and my AirPods from my nightstand and shoved them both in my jeans pocket. On my way out of my room I heard shouting next to my bedroom.

"Blake, give me my fucking shoes back!" The screaming was coming from Avery's room.

"Hayes, you're a fucking idiot!" More of the screaming was coming from from Kaden's room.
