My Missing Piece - Chapter 1

I woke up with a stinging headache. It felt as if I could jump out of a moving car, and still feel better. Today was the start of a new year at school, and I was ready well... almost ready except for the headache that wouldn't go away. I struggled to get ready and walked downstairs to see my mom reading another love novel, it seems like that's all she does. "Morning love, how's you sleep?" She called out towards me as I staggered to the table dragging my legs behind me "Just got a headache", I called out and smiled not wanting her to stress about it too much. "Oh well, you should get going before it is too late", she called out and kissed me on my head. I smiled, picked up my backpack and walked out the door.

The school I go to wasn't very far and at least I usually have my friends Jenni and Sandra to walk with me. "Jess, Jess!" I heard a voice shout-out behind me. It was Jenni, she ran up beside me and started laughing and talking to me about how her night was. Sandra wasn't too far behind, she also ran up to us panting "Couldn't you guys wait?" She asked fighting for breath. "Sorry Sandra," I called out as we walked through the gates of "cranberry high" there they were the "populars", well that's what everyone calls them giving us dirty looks as usual and then, the boy I dislike more than anything I've ever disliked.

He's a rude energy drinking junkie that only cares about himself and prey on the miss fortune of others. "Guys let's just walk a bit faster please." I called out to Sandra and Jenni but when I turned to look for them, they were gone and I was alone and about to walk past jarred Benz, but I bit my tongue and walked past hoping he wouldn't open the mouse trap he calls a mouth. But like always luck was not on my side. I was so busy trying to look in the distance that I didn't notice that he had slid his leg in front of me and I fell on my face. I heard several people laughing before he held out his hand for me and because of my stupidity I grabbed it but he pulled me up to my feet. I dusted my knees and glared at him angrily, that's when he opened his mouth.
