The Marks by Katie Wilkerson (top android ebook reader .txt) 📕

I made my way through the halls dodging anyone who tried to bump me. I couldn't wait for the year to end. Two more months! Hurry up summer! You may say I want school to be over and believe me I do. But I wouldn't have anything to do. My best friend has been too busy with her new boyfriend, Micky and my friend/brother Austin is chasing after some girl in Jersey. We live in Denver. The only one left is my brother's friend, Riley, and he is annoying as hell. 

I knocked into a wall and fell over, I shook my head and looked up, sure enough, there's Riley looking down at me with a smirk on his face. I scowled and got up walking off. You maybe wondering why I am so rude to him. Well, he started it. Last week, he hit me in the face with a hat and now my lip is bruised and is cut. I don't know how, all I know is it still hurts like hell. My 17th birthday is coming up. It's on April 13th. I can't wait.

I made my way to my next class not bothering to swerve through people. I got to the door and opened it, I sat in my usual seat. I pulled out a notebook and pencil and began to draw. Drawing is one of the ways I express my feelings. Other than physically I use the shapes, objects, people, and actions of my drawings to show how I'm feeling. Just at that moment to very large hands were placed on my desk. I looked up calmly.

"Yes?" I asked, innocently.

"What's this?" Luke tapped the picture I had been drawing. 

"Something I'm drawing... why?" I looked at him.

He smirked and replied, "Cause instead of doing that..." he trailed off.

I shot from my seat, "HELLL NO!"

Luke looked shocked but quickly shook it off, "I was just going to ask if you wanted to ditch and get Fro Yo, but okay."

I looked at him, this boy, the one that makes my life hell every day, the man whore of the school? Is asking ME? Annabelle Lynn Baker to ditch and get Frozen Yogurt? I was dumbstruck!

"W-what?" I stuttered.

He sighed, "I figured it was time for me to say sorry bout my actions."

I nodded, "Why me?"

He smiled, "Cause I like messing with you, you get aggravated quickly, so how about that Frozen Yogurt?"

I smiled, "I guess."

*Author's note: I thought it was a good first chapter, even though it was short*

I sighed, the day before my birthday. I looked around the classroom. No one seemed to be paying attention. My eyes landed on Megan, my best friend since kindergarten (the one dating Micky). I yawned.

"I'm sorry is my class THAT boring Miss Baker." Miss Whovian asked.

"Why yes," I said in a fake british accent, grabbed my solid black book bag, slid my notebook in it and walked towards the door.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Getting out of this hell hole, bitch, what does it look like?" I said. She looked shocked.

"What did you just call me?" she said.

"A bitch, b-i-t-c-h, spelling bee champ right here, bitch! Bye." I said and walked through the door.

"Dentention!" she yelled towards the hallway.

I heard Megan and the rest of the class laughing as I walked off.
