Chapter 2

*Thud Thud*

"Natalie, it's time to wake up!" I could hear my mother shouting from the other side of the door, which was hardly audible. I wasn't being able to take the covers off of me. Warmth was all I could feel. Why is she waking me up? Were the words running through my mind. "It's 7:30." *Ting* Now I knew why.

I shoot up from my bed like bullet. Without responding to my mother I rushed towards my bathroom and began brushing my teeth which was followed by washing my face. I rushed back to my room and began searching for comfy clothes in my closet as it only consisted of those. Taking out my black hoody with light greyish sweatpants I quickly slipped on my white converse. Without wasting further time I grabbed my bag which was already filled with my books I exited my room.

"Make an effort to tie your hair." My mother ordered me from the kitchen while narrowing her eyes with disapproval. I noddded at her and went towards the mirror which was placed in her room. I quickly made a bun and ran towards the kitchen, grabbing an apple from the basket. I wished my mother a good bye and gave her a peck on her cheek.

"All the best sweetheart!" I heard my mother shout as I was outisde the door. "Okay Mother!" I replied her back while running towards the bus stand. It was 8:00 am and the bus arrived on the time as always unlike me. I went inside and took a seat at the extreme back. There were other students who didn't even bother to glance at me, which was fine by, as I dont like attention, never been used before.

On the way I listened to my ultimate Ariana Grande Playlist on Spotify. I was slowly humming the tune and shaking my head up and down. Just then someone sat beside me. I didn't bother looking at the person because I was in my own world admiring the neighbourhoods passing by.

There was a tap on my shoulder which made me turn towards that person. It was a girl. I saw her mouth moving but I couldn't hear her as the song was blasting in my ears. Maybe she was introducing herself? I plugged my earphones off my ears. "Probably you didn't heard, Was asking to lower your volume, how can someone listen to a song like that? It's so annoying." She frowned and her voice was really rude, wasn't expected because I thought she would introduce herself. Huh. Another Rude Girl Is In The House!

I stared at her with my eyebrows raised while she took out her phone and began typing. I was irritated but I didn't wanted to be a target just like others whose life has been hell. The bus came to a halt and students started to go out. I waited for everybody to go out. After 5 minutes I exited the bus and made my way towards the big opened door. I entered the halls. Students speaking while leaning against their lockers, basketball players in one corner laughing and talking loudly as ever and the so called queens of the school in one corner eyeing the basketball players shamelessly were the regular scene as always.

"Hey kiddo!" Xavier, my best friend, also the football captain, jumoed from behind and hugged me from behind. I could see so many girls glaring at me but I was used to it as they could never hurt me as they've been warned by Xavier.

Xavier is a popular guy with charming looks and a hot reputation who is entitled as one of the players of Liberty High. In the opinion of other people. But to me he is a caring guy with a loving personality who is entitled as my only friend, well, best friend.

"Hey biggy." I teased him with a new nickname. He broke the hug and looked at me with a shocked expression. "How do you know that?" He look down and then at me. Ew. "What the hell Xavier? You know what shut up!" I blushed and realized what he meant. I turned and walked towards my locker which was just beside me. I opened the locker with my code and placed my extra books which weren't needed for the first three periods before lunch and then closed it. "You're not as innocent as people think babe, and I only know that, wow." He talked like as if she acheived a big victory. I gave him a nod while grinning thinking how stupid he was.

After he went towards his class I made my way to mine. As I walked inside my class students were chatting in their own seats. I took a seat at the back beside the window and stared outside. "Freakin nerd, move." I heard a deep masculine voice and I knew whose it was. "Why should I?" I asked him back while staring outside. "Because it is mine" He replied with frustration clearly evident in his voice. "Since when did a chair become someone's possesion." I replied him back, making him more annoyed. "You're messing with me, I hope you don't want your life to be hell like others just like last year for two months you suffered." And thats when I lost it. I stood up from the chair and went towards the right side of the room where a seat at the second row was empty. Ashton Walker. As always.
