Chapter 1
Weddings. Full of happiness and love.Only for one day, and the following. The one day u spend the most money on.That's how it always starts. A crush, a relationship, the first kiss, a break up, a make up, a proposal, a marriage. I think love is a waste of time. Some people have told me that I'm depressed by saying but if they have a problem with who I am and what I believe in then their choice not mine.
Seeing as you don't know my name it's Cassie Mayden. This story begins on a typical Monday morning in Bristol.
I rolled out of bed thinking "what's the point in school when I never learn anything" I'm sure loads of other people think this but for me it was different. Other students at school kept as far away from me as possible, they could put me on mars and still wouldn't be happy. Even the teachers sometimes keep away from me. All the same I still have to go to school. I stumbled over my grey carpet, tripping up and falling over things I had left lying there on the floor. I was messy and my room was messy, so?
I slid down the stairs and found out that I would have to go to school hungry as we had no cereal or toast. Typical. I went to the laundry room and found a pair of jeans with a massive hole in them and a white top with a faded blue flower in the corner, I grabbed any pair of shoes and slid them on, they were way too small for me but I didn't care. On the way out I noticed a note saying 'sorry babe that there's no breakfast I had completely forgot to go shopping :( I might be home late tonight around 7 ish dad will be back tomorrow and please can u think about cleaning your room love mum'
'Think about cleaning your room' I said opening the front door ' yea i'll 'think' about it but I won't do it'
I grinned, even though there was no one to grin at. I closed the door an sat on the garden wall waiting for the school bus.
15 minutes later it came slowly round the corner. I climbed on and with all the strange and threatening looks I got from everyone I went to the top deck ad sat at the back. Do u see what I mean about them not liking me and trying to keep as far away from me as possible?
When the bus arrived, I got off last as I didn't want to have loads of people staring at me again.
The day passed slowly and painfully, there turned out to be a new student, Joey Young. I hadn't seen him yet, I just over heard it from one of the so called popular girls telling the news to her friends. I didn't really want to see him, I didn't really care. At lunch I go over to the benches that are at the bottom of the school garden. I always sit there because no one else does. I also like it here because I get the chance to spy on people and see what goes on. My eyes are drawn to a group of boys, at the top of the hill. One of them I don't recognize so I guessed it was Joey Young.
Joey was in the centre of attention as a group of girls walked over to him and started smiling and giggling at his jokes. He had dark brown hair which fell over his eyes. I won't lie, he was kind of cute! He turned his head in my direction to flick his hair out eyes and for the first time in my life I saw something I wanted more than anything in the world I wanted Joey. Our eyes touched each others even though we were meters apart. I looked down at my feet and when I looked up again I saw he was coming down the hill towards me!
