I opened my eyes and found that my glasses were missing from my usual spot where I kept them. "Ugh seriously?" I got up before my alarm which gave me a long while to look for my glasses. I quietly made my way down the stairs and peered around the living room in search of my glasses. I felt a hint of panic as I could barely see anything without my glasses on. I turned on the kitchen light and found no sign of my glasses. I pretty much searched the rest of my house and couldn't find them anywhere. I decided to take a risk and go get ready instead.

I showered and finished getting ready. I did one last search for my glasses but I ended up with nothing. I walked into the kitchen and my mom stared at me with a confused look on her face. "Isabel? Dónde están tus lentes?" (Where are your glasses?) I picked up a glass and filled it with water and chugged it down to avoid her question. I knew that if I told her I lost my glasses I would be in big trouble. Those things weren't cheap!

I quickly averted eye contact ,but I knew deep down inside I wouldn't be able to avoid her question. "I-i don't know I took them off last night before I went to bed ,and now I can't find them." I looked at the floor since I was expecting her to yell at me. "Isabel you've got to be joking right?" I looked at her "I wish I was joking ma...look i'm sorry I'll find them I promise" I gave her a promising look and I quickly finished my breakfast,but gave her a small kiss on the cheek afterwards.

I picked up my things and went out the door forgetting about my brothers. I placed my skateboard down and set my foot down and pushed myself away from my house. I stopped at a crosswalk and reached for my phone in my pocket as I got a text message. It was Marcus,and the text read "Good morning, meet me at the entrance of the school in 10" I smiled and sent a thumbs up emoji.

I hopped off of my skateboard and opened the door and I saw Marcus talking to some girl. I walked up to them and greeted them "hey Marcus" I looked at the girl and smiled "Hi" she smiled back "I'm Laura Elaine,and you must be Isabel? My brother has told me a bit about you" Marcus looked at me "I-uh I think it's time for you to leave Laura, yeah?" he looked at her wide-eyed

We stood there awkwardly until I broke the silence "so um when are you free to hangout if you want?" his face lit up a little "I don't do much so whenever really"

"How about this weekend? We could go to the fair yeah?" He smiled "yeah I like that. Sounds like a plan" He walked me to first period ,and I was surprised he leaned in for a hug so I gave him one. "See you at lunch?" I chuckled and nodded.

I walked into class and surprisingly that one girl was early to class today. I sat in my regular seat. The teacher struggled to remember everyone's names but he managed while taking attendance.

"Emory Gar-" "Here" the girl next to me said loud enough for the teacher to hear and not letting him finish. "Thank you for being on time today Emory"

She was slumped down in her chair on her phone hiding it under the table not paying attention to Mr.Barrett. I looked at her phone and it's screen was pretty broken. I looked at her hands and they were all bruised up. I was starting to get scared.

She noticed I was staring at her and she looked at me and whispered "Wanna picture? It'll last longer" I immediately looked away in embarrassment. Mr.Barrett finished attendance and told us to finish our worksheets from yesterday.

Emory stood up and asked the teacher for a new sheet of paper. She sat back down and began to work on the paper silently. I plugged in my earbuds and continued to do my work. In no time Emory was done with her worksheet and turned it in. I was shooketh. I couldn't believe she finished this assignment in like ten minutes when it took the rest of the class two class periods.

She sat down and went back on her phone. I turned to her. "Hey you finished that really quick. Can you help me out on this problem?" She glanced over at my paper but looked away I frowned and turned back to my paper. ".0087 = x" I looked at her "wait how'd you get that answ-" she turned to me "look I just gave you the answer now appreciate the fact I even talked to you." and with that she returned to her original position.

I got bothered by that. Does she think I'm a loser? Do people here think I'm a loser? I decided not to think too much of it and just move on with my day.

The day went on a little slower than usual and I hated it. I didn't bother to look for Kasandra during lunch and went straight to the library and texted Marcus. 'Meet me in the library'.

A couple minutes later Marcus walked in and waved at me. I gave a small wave back. He sat right next to me. "How's your day been?" He asked "um well there's something that's bothering me" he got a worried look on his face. "What happened? Did someone say or do something to you? I'll hurt them Isab-" I quickly grabbed his arm before he stood up. "What?! No no I- it's this girl in My first period she's being a bitch to me for no reason and I don't know what I did to her" he looked confused for a second "What's her name?" I spoke hesitantly "Emory Garcia" his eyes went wide

"You mean The Emory Garcia? As in the schools Bad girl? Oh hell nah she's scary as fuck" I looked at him curiously "tell me about her"

"Well she has gotten into many fights with both guys and girls here and always wins. She isn't someone to be messed around with let's say. A lot of people say her family was involved in gang related shit ,but no one really knows the truth behind her family. I guess they're all fucked up and it makes sen-" His voice faded out as Emory walked into the library and sat down at a nearby table. "Sh-shit shut up" I looked at Marcus worriedly "wha-" he looked over to my view and saw Emory sitting there on her phone "oh fuck how long has she been there "she just got here"

Marcus stood up and signaled for me to follow him "c'mon let's go somewhere else" We walked outside onto the track and walked around and talked for a little while.

I went to Science with Marcus since we had the same class together. We sat at the same table. "For fucks sake" Marcus stared towards the door. Emory walked in and ironically she walked over to my table. She bent down towards the girl next to me and leaned on her elbows on the table and stared at her eyes and was just inches away from her face. "Get out of my seat" the girl immediately got up and moved to the back of the room. Emory sat down next to me and Marcus looked at her weirdly.

"Hey what the fuck is wrong with you? You don't treat people like that asshole!" I panicked at his words. Emory slowly picked up her head and stared at Marcus "Shut the hell up. Don't think I didn't hear your ass in the library today. Keep talking shit and you'll regret it" Marcus was steaming with anger "What are you gonna do beat my ass?! pfft you won't do shit! You fucking Slut!" Emory stood up and grabbed Marcus by the collar of his hoodie and threw him up against the wall. I quickly stood up and tried to take her away from him. She pushed me away and got close to his ear but stared at me. "I swear to god if your girlfriend wasn't here right now I would beat the living shit out of you" she let him go with one last push against the wall and walked out.

The teacher wasn't in the classroom at the time as she had to go to the restroom and saw none of what had just happened. Marcus sat down next to me and asked if I was okay. I assured him I was fine but he apologized to me for causing a big fight in front of me.
