Doubt fills your mind

My room is the average teenage girl's room. Light blue walls, pink carpet, posters of celebrities on the wall, a bed with a white frame and blue covers and a desk filled clutter and my laptop. I'm not your average looking teenage girl. I'm pretty tall with long red hair and light green eyes. I live in a huge house. My family's rich, dad's a lawyer, mother's a doctor.

My alarm went off at six am. I dragged myself out of bed. Went to the bathroom, took a shower, did my make up, a long cat eye with red eye shadow and a dark red lip. Walked out, changed into a black t-shirt with black ripped skinny jeans and black Converse. I grabbed my black bag and opened the door. My brother, Jake was standing there, about to knock. He's tall with shirt blonde hair and dark green eyes.

"Oh shit!" He startled me.

"Good morning, Mara.I was just gonna say breakfast is ready and I'm driving today." He said.

"Jesus, Jake give someone a heart attack why don't you." I said walking out of my room.

Jake followed, "by the way, why do you always dress for a funeral?"

I just laughed it off and sat down for breakfast. Oatmeal. Great, our nanny can't do anything right. We need a new one, I guess I'll complain about that later. My dad and mom work all day. Never get to see them and when I do, it's usually them telling me to keep up the good work, they're proud of me, do your homework, you don't need to hang out with your friends you gotta get your work done. Just to list a few.

Jake and I finished breakfast and left for school. Our car rides are usually just jamming out, screaming song lyrics at the top of our lungs. Being a nuisance to everyone in the neighborhoods.

We arrived at school and went our separate ways. He's a senior and I'm merely a sophomore. We go to a private school, a rich kid school. So, I walked to my locker and on the way there I bumped into a guy who looked badly beaten. A pretty tall guy with short brown hair and dark brown eyes. He has a scar at the end of his eye.

"Sorry!" I said.

He didn't say anything and just walked away. I watched him and he glanced back at me with a smirk. Weird, never seen that kid in my life. Must be new. Anyways, I got to my locker where my best friends, Kate and Sadie were waiting for me.

Kate has long brown hair that's usually in a ponytail, dark brown eyes with big circle glasses. She pulled them off, trust me. Today she's wearing a grey t-shirt with light pink sweatpants and black runner shoes. She also has a maroon backpack. She's on the soccer team, always dresses sporty. Never any make up too.

Sadie is short, she has long and big curly black hair with dark brown eyes. She always has crazy make up on. Today it's orange and yellow eye shadow, looks like a sunset. She's wearing a brown cropped sweatshirt that says "bad girl" on it, dark blue skinny jeans, white dad shoes and always has her sparkly pink backpack.

"Hey bitches." I said smiling.

"Mara, it's been like a weekend since we last saw you." Kate said.

I giggled and rolled my eyes, "you know my parents."

"Who needs friends when you have homework!" Sadie said mocking my parents.

Honestly, don't really care that my friends don't like my parents, makes sense. They don't like my friends. It's bullshit. They say that Sadie and Kate are back influences. Which is why I usually sneak out if there's a big party or something. I made a deal with my brother. If there's a big event and I want to sneak out, he'll cover for me, but any other time, I'm on my own. Which is fine with me.

"Hey, did we get any new students?" I asked Sadie.

She's leader of the welcoming committee.

She shook her head, "no, why?"

"I bumped into a kid, he looked pretty beaten up."

"I think you're talking about Tanner Luner. He use to be on the track team, then started tanking. Everyone just ignored it, because it's not our problems. Barely seen him around since."

I nodded. I wonder why it took so long for me to see him. Must be a background character. (He blends in with the background, like an extra in a TV show or movie.) I'm interested in why he's all busted up. Wonder if he has a good family or not. I want to be a social worker, things like that have to interest me.
