Kismet

-Sydney's POV-

I made my way down the hallway of my pathetic school, trying my best to brush past everyone standing in my way. I guess it had to happen eventually, I tripped over someone's bag sitting on the ground and sent my books flying everywhere. I groaned and pulled myself up from the ground.

As I started to collect my books I looked up to see kids laughing and staring at me. As I stood up I turned around to see my dumb brother and his jock friends all laughing in a circle. We made eye contact and he shot me a look of disappointment. I was definitely going to hear about it later.

"Stupid people." I mumbled as I found my way to my locker. I had managed to switch my books out before the door slammed shut next to my face, revealing my evil brother, Sam. "What do you want?" I glared at him.

"What the fuck was that back there, I told you not to embarrass me at school." He said, he was fuming, I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears.

"I didn't mean to, it's not my fault that some stupid kid left his backpack in the middle of the ground." I huffed and turned around. He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back around.

"Watch it kid, or I'll make life living hell for you." He scoffed. I sighed.

"You already do." I gritted and stormed down the hallway to my next class, Statistics, probably the only thing I was good at in school, besides physics, and of course choir.

"You better watch your backtalk kid." I heard from beside me.

I spun on my heel to talk to the kid.

"And what the fuck do you want?" I spat, it was one of my brother's stupid jock friends, Ian, I think was his name.

"I want you to stop embarrassing your brother, you're just making things worse for yourself." He stood a little taller.

"And why would I be scared?"

It took him a second to start an answer but by then I was already almost to my next class. I was actually just done with people for the day.

It felt like forever until the day was over, thankfully my last class was choir so I had a little bit of fun before going home and hiding in my room.

I swung my keys around as I made my way towards the school parking lot.

"Watch it kid." I heard before I was sent plummeting onto the ground.

"Motherfucker." I cursed and lifted myself off of the ground. I heard laughing from all around. I felt my eyes tear up but I didn't let them fall, that wasn't who I was. I looked back at the hall way at all of the laughing teens who had no souls, not that I was any different, but come on. I jerked my head away and shook my head before making it outside to the parking lot.

My car was fairly close to the school which was good because it meant I wouldn't have to walk past my brother and his jock friends that were all circle around his car probably talking about their next game or something.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I stepped into my car, it meant that the torture was done for the week, considering it was Friday. There wouldn't be much of an issue at home seeing that my dad was there, so it saved me for a few days.

I pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.

As soon as I entered my house I threw my backpack onto the mudroom bench and kicked my shoes off before heading upstairs to my room.

I immediately changed out of my jeans into running shorts and grabbed a hoodie. I threw my long brown hair into a messy bun and climbed on top of my bed.

Today was just one of those days were I wanted to surf social media and Skype a few internet friends.

I plugged my earbuds in and lost myself in the web.

After a few hours of doing nothing important I found my way downstairs to make some hot chocolate and popcorn. As I passed the living room to get the kitchen I found my brother making out with some girl on the couch. I decided not to stop him, for fear of the consequences.

I silently slipped my way past and made my food before continuing my journey back upstairs. I glanced out the window as I made my way upstairs and saw that the sun was slowly setting and it was actually pretty nice outside. I sighed blissfully as I decided to put my popcorn and hot chocolate in the microwave so I could go outside.

I pulled my hoodie off and let my hair down before grabbing my sunglasses, just to look cool, and heading outside with my penny board.

I didn't bother putting on shoes, I just made my way down the street towards the beach. It took me a few minutes to get there and by then the ocean was just a pretty color of blue and purple.

I smiled as I kicked my way down the biker's line that ran next to the sand. It wasn't too crowded and it was just a peaceful ride down the shore.

Once it got dark I decided it would be in my best interest to go back home. When I came in I ran upstairs to take a quick shower before heading back down to reheat and take my popcorn and hot chocolate.

I came back up to my room with my now hot food and a Chinese food menu sitting on top of the popcorn.

Netflix felt like the right option so I settled for watching VGHS again. I placed a Chinese order for orange chicken and fried rice.

Content with my choices I snuggled into my comforter and lost myself in the show.

Okay so, first chapter. This is really just character building I guess. I'm thinking this book will be pretty long so I don't want to rush things, hence this chapter and ones that will probably be similar. Anyways, have a nice day/night/food
