Chapter 2

Chapter 2! Sorry it's short and kind of lame. The next chapter will be better :)

 I wake up in my desk chair and realize I fell asleep with Be Your Own Pet playing on my speakers.

  I groan, stretch my back, yawn and then tun off my computer. But before I do, I check the time on the screen.

  It's 6:00. School starts at 7:00. 

  I curse then stand up, taking off my jeans and Nirvana t-shirt while sprinting over to my dresser.

  I throw my clothes on the ground and open up my sock/underwear drawer. The only clean pair of underwear I have is the thong Kim bought for me as a joke. The only clean pair of socks I have are blue and have little smiling hot dogs on them. The only clean bra I have is neon yellow and lacey.

  This day has to get better, I think to myself. Last night was hell, so this day has to be great.

  I throw my new bra, underwear and socks on my bed and then go looking through my t-shirt drawer. I have two clean shirts; one is black and has the words, "YOUTH AGAINST FACISM" written on it, and the other one is white and see through.

  I go with black one.

  Then I go down to my pants drawer. I always have more pants than I have shirts, underwear, bras and socks so I pick my blue skinny jeans and start to get dressed.

  As soon as I am wearing my outfit for the day, I bolt downstairs. My Dad is in the living room drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

  My Mom left me when I was eight. She decided being a Mom wasn't "fun". She is in Texas with two replacements kids and a husband. Every Christmas she sends me a cactus. 

  I personally hate her even though I haven't seen her in ten years. But if your Mom never calls you, or sends you a letter and just gives you a f*****g cactus every Christmas, you kind of have a good reason to hate her.

  "Hey, kiddo", Dad says to me. "Want breakfest?"

  "No time, Dad", I say, while walking to the kitchen and grabbing an apple quickly. "I'm late for school."

  "You want a ride?" he asks me. "Or is Kim gonna pick you up?"

  I remember what Kim said to me last night as I bite into my apple, and feel awful. "No", I say. "I'm just gonna walk."

  "You have to hurry then", Dad tells me as I walk into the front hallway and pick my red backpack off of the ground.

  "I know", I reply, as I swing my bag on my back and make my way out the door, and down the street to hell. 

 

  "Hey, Venus!" I hear a person yell behind me. I turn around and see Jacques Jeter behind me, an annoying junior who has an obsession with me.

  "Hey, Jacques!" I call back, even though a little voice in my head is saying, 'Venus, he will do something bad. Run away'. 

  "Wait up!" he calls, and then he stops running over to me. I just stand there with a stupid expression my face. 

  He finally catches up to me and I start walking alongside him. "How are you, Jacques?" I ask him.

  He grins at me, showing yellow teeth and I wonder why I practically invited him to talk to me. 

  "I'm fine", Jacques tells me. "How are you, Venus?" I notice how he says Venus like I am a piece of candy a kid would want at 7-11.

  "Fine", I say slowly. 

  "So...is it true?" he asks me.

  What, did everyone find out about Kim and Brent already?

  "Depends on what you mean by 'it'", I reply.

  Jacques laughs. "Someone told me you slept with the entire football team. At once", he tells me.

  I freeze.

  "Did you?" he asks me.

  "No", I say calmy, for some reason. "Who told you that?"

  "Everyone is talking about it", he tells me.

  "Are people believing it?" I ask.

  Jacques grins. "People will believe anything."

It sounds that Jacques is going to be a great friend and an important assest to the story. I still feel awful for Venus. She doesn't deserve most of this.

On the contrary to your statement, this is actually quite good.

Words is spreading fast in this short chapter. A short chapter but gave some history and events to make the story stronger. A very good chapter.
