Bad

Beth's POV:

Today was the first day back at hell, or as most people call it: high school. I have one more year at North High and then I'm gone for good.

It is extra cold for autumn here, so I decide to put on something warm. My best friend Addie and I are very different when it comes to these kinds of things. She'll probably wear something cute that will get all the boys attention and no one will probably look at me, as usual.

Addie and I are very different when it comes to a lot of things. Guys think she's hot, guys don't even look at me. She’s had plenty of boyfriends, I’ve barely had one. She's popular, she's one of my only friends. She's not a virgin, I am.

I run downstairs after I finish getting ready and wait for Addie to pick me up. I have a car, I just hate driving.

I look in my mums bedroom to see she's not there. I go to the kitchen and find a note:

Bethy,
I had to go on trip unexpectedly this morning. I'm sorry honey. I'll be back Saturday morning.
I love you!
Mum

This happens a lot. Her boss makes her go to London a lot to sell their product. Which, honestly, I don't even know what their product is, something to do with beauty, I think. I miss my mum tons when she is away, life has been hard on her and me since my parents separated.

If you're thinking that I have it bad because my parents aren't really around, you're insane. Being alone is one of my favorite things in the world. Besides, I have Addie.

As I'm getting my backpack from the bench near the front door, I hear a car horn in my front yard. I run out and get in the car to see Addie.

"Jesus, Addie! Aren't you cold?" I say.

"Fashion comes at a price, Bethy. You obviously don't understand." She gestures to my outfit. We both laugh.

"I'd rather be comfortable wearing this, than freeze wearing that." We laugh again.

"Oh well. This is just going to make it harder to find you a boyfriend." I almost choke.

"What? Find me a boyfriend, really?" I say and roll my eyes at her as I get in the car.

"Bethy! It's senior year! The last time you had a boyfriend was in the third grade! And that doesn't even count!" She laughs.

"I don't want a boyfriend Addie, I don't need one." I said looking at her.

"Alright whatever." She says and glares at me as we pull up to school.

"Ready?" She asks.

"Ready." I reply. Ready for it to be over.
