Hiding the Cracks

Liz's POV
I wake up to the piercing sound of my alarm clock. I quickly turn it off and sink deeper into my bed. I look at the time and see that I have an hour before I need to leave. I get up and grab my clothes for today. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower. As I rinse my brown hair I decide that if I'm going to change I need to start with my look. I finish up my business in the shower and continue to get ready I put back my outfit and picked a new one. After I got my new clothes on I go to my vanity and start with my hair and makeup. I decide to go simple instead of the dark makeup I usually wear. After I finish I look at the clock to see I have 20 minutes left. I look at myself in my full body mirror and smile at my new appearance. I walk out of my room and grab some cereal. My brother walks out of his room in his typical atire. He looks at me and cocks an eyebrow. "Look who actually looks like a normal person today." "Shut up!" I say trying to look serious but end up smiling. I finished my cereal and washed out my bowl. My brother grabbed an apple and a granola bar then went to grab his backpack. I looked at the clock and noticed it was time to go. "Coop we gotta go!" I yelled as I started walking out of the door. I got into my car and Cooper followed not long after.

Thank god I got my license this summer. I hate school buses their crowded and smell. I pulled out of my driveway and started towards my usual drive by café. I ordered the same thing I always do. A caramel macchiato with skim milk. I paid and drove off to school. I got to school 10 minute early. Awesome this gives me enough time to go to my locker. I park my car and lock it as I head into my school. I got to my locker and grab my books. Just as I close my locker the bell rings and I head off to first period, history. I get there before the tardy bell rings which is rare for me. As I sit in my regular seat and pull out my textbook. The bell rings and everyone else take their seats. My teacher then starts calling role. He finishes role and I realize he didn't call my name. "Um excuse me Mr. Burland you didn't call my name." I say politely. Everyon in the class looks at me and just stare at me. Mr. Burland then looks at me and raises an eyebrow. "Sorry Ms. Harrison I'm not used to you actually showing up on time." He checks my name off and I notice everyone still looking at me. "You know I can take a picture for all of you it will last longer." Everyone turned around instantly and awaited one of Mr. Burland's boring lectures.

After what felt like hours the class finally ended and I went to my favorite class, Algebra 2. I sit down in my spot and was surprised when I was the first one in the class room. Mr. Bean looks up at me and smiles. "Nice to see you here early Ms. Harrison." I give a small smile and start on my quadratic functions. I like math especially algebra. All of our lessons are online so we go at our own pace. After class is over I go to my last class before lunch, Chemistry. I hate this class. Science is just boring to me and is too easy. Plus, Mr. Langholz is so corny. I zone out the entire class and just doodle in my notebook until Mr. Langholz gives us a worksheet. Like usual im the first to finish but instead of pretending to take forever I take it up to him. He looks at me with a surprised look and grades my work. "Wow Ms. Harrison. First one done and 100%. Well done." I give a small thanks and head back to my seat. I continue my doodles until the lunch bell rung. I rushed out of the room and to my locker. I finally reach my locker and put my books inside. I start walking to the lunch room instead of going off campus like I usually do.

As I walk I look down at my feet trying to avoid the stare people are giving me. Next thing I know some asshole slaps my ass. I stop dead in my tracks and turn around to look at him. I go straight up in his face. "Look here dick head touch me or my ass every again and youre not going to have anything to touch with. Got it?" Give him a death look and he just smirks. "Don't work sweet cheeks I know you liked it. You don't have to hide it." "Sorry I don't go for immature little asshole like you who probably sit in bed daydreaming of how to get a girl which clearly doesn't do you any good." I turn to walk away and he grabs my wrist. He pulls me back to him still keeping a death grip on my wrist. "You have 3 seconds to let go of my wrist before I personally mess your shit up." He laughs and squeezes tighter. "1." nothing. "2." nothing "3." I then take his wrist and flip it around his back and push him to the ground. I put him in a position to where I almost break his arm. "I told you not to touch me and if you ever even think about touching me I'll break it. Got it?" He nods his head quickly and I push off of him. I walk away leaving his friends and him stunned. I get to the lunch room, grab my lunch, and sit at an empty table. I drown out everyone in the room with my music and eat my lunch in content. I start to see everyone get up which means the bell rang. I took out my headphones and walked to my last class, Art.

I grab my pad and look at the board to see what our topic is today. Pain. Well this should be easy. I start sketching my drawing. About an hour later I was finished. I walked up to Mrs. Stewart's desk and hand her my sketch. She gawks at my creation. "Liz this is amazing! This is going up right next to the board." I smile at her then go back to my seat and start another sketch. After another 30 min the bell rang and I was finishing up my sketch. I put it in my bag then walk to my locker. I put my books and stuff in there then head to my car. Cooper is already waiting for me. I unlock the door and get in. I then drive Cooper back home but decide to go see someone I haven't seen in a long time. The only person who makes me happy again. My grandma.
