Chapter 1
I couldn't stop.All the anger and hurt built up over the last few years was making it hard to stop.All the noise around me was muffled because of the ringing in my ears. Tears were streaming down my face.I knew I was gonna kill him if I didn't stop but I couldn't.
Suddenly two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me off of my father's limp , unbreathing body.I screamed and struggled in my brother's hold.He grabbed the back of my head and pressed my cheek against his chest.I stopped struggling and threw my arms around him , sobbing into his chest.
My mother was crying and shaking , struggling to call for an ambulance.But I didn't care.She was in on this.She knew what he was doing to me.That's why she takes my brother out.To keep him away from me , because she knew he would interfere.
My mother puts down the phone after calling the ambulance and storms over to us.She rips me from my brother's hold and throws me to the floor.She starts kicking and hitting me."You little ungrateful bitch!How could you do that?!" She screams at me while my brother struggles to hold her down.The sound of sirens could be heard from outside and the door bursts open.
I'm covered in his blood , but I don't care.At least if I go to juvie , I'll be able to get away from them.I let the officers cuff me and lead me to their car.All of our neighbors have come out to watch the scene.I look up to see their shocked faces.I've always been the sweet innocent girl , but I have had enough. This has gone on for long enough.
And that's how I ended up here.In front of the gates of Northview High.A school for the troubled.Great way to start my junior year. Note the sarcasm.This place is basically like juvie , just no uniforms.Well , I guess I gotta go in at some point.
I follow the map to the office and luckily I find it pretty quick."Oh , hello dear.You must be Austin , the new student.I'll be right back. I just have to go get your papers from the copy room and then I'll show you around the school." The sweet middle aged woman behind the desk says and I nod.A few minutes later , she walks back out of the copy room and hands me my papers.
She shows me around and leaves me so that I can get settled in.Luckily I don't have a roommate.I sit down on one of the empty beds and pull out the papers.I start reading through the information page.
Name: Austin
Surname: Stone
Age: 17
Year: Junior
DS: Red
What does DS mean?I'll just ask someone tomorrow.I start classes tomorrow so I start reading over the schedule.After I read through it , I started unpacking.This is gonna take a while.It's already three and dinner is served at seven.So that gives me four hours , which is definitely not enough time.
I guess I'll just have to skip dinner.I'm not hungry anyway , so it won't be a problem. After unpacking for about five hours , I plop onto my new bed and decide to check my phone.I have a message from my mother and one from my brother.Oh and if you're wondering , his name is Daniel and he's a year older than me.
I open my messages and my eyes started tearing up as I read through my mother's message.
Mom: I know what you're father did was wrong , but I let him do it because I love him more than you.And because of what you have done I am disowning you.You are an ungrateful little bitch and I hope you suffer the rest of your life. Your father is dead.You killed him and I wouldn't hesitate to do the same to you.This is all I had to say to you and don't ever even think about contacting me again.
And then she blocked me.I didn't let the tears fall because I don't regret a thing.I'm glad that bastard got what he deserved.He molested and abused me for years and my mother didn't do anything about it.My brother didn't help me because he didn't know about it.I only told him a week after I killed my father.
I open the message my brother sent me.
Big Bro: I'm not gonna throw you away. You're my baby sister and now that you told me why you did it , I understand.I'll always be here for you.
My heart strings tugged a little at my brother's words.I'm so glad he isn't gonna throw me away like my so called 'mother' did.I plug my phone into the charger and get ready for bed.
The next morning I get ready , Ip put on my black hoody and black ripped jeans and head towards my English literature class.I sit down at the back of the class so that I don't attract to much attention to myself.But unfortunately my bright blue hair makes that difficult.I dyed my hair the day before I came here.My faded brown hair reminded me to much of my dad.
The teacher walks in and the class instantly goes quiet."Good morning class.We have a new student with us today..." he says and looks around before his eyes finally land on me."Ah , the girl with the bright blue hair and black hoodie.Please , Miss Stone , introduce yourself." The teacher says and I visibly gulp.
I slowly make my way to the front of the class , keeping an eye on my feet , in case someone tries to trip me.Luckily I make it to the front without face planting in front of the whole class.I take a deep breath and put on a cool facade."I'm Austin Stone and I come from Seattle." I say coolly.
"Great , now are there any questions for Miss Stone?" The teacher asks the class.A boy in the middle row puts up his hand and smirks at me while his friends snicker next to him."Are those space pants?Because your ass is out of this world." The guy asks me and I smirk as an idea pops into my head."No , they're baseball pants , 'cause my ass is way out of your league." I say and the whole class bursts out laughing , even the teacher.
Then another guy's hand shoots up."Why are you here?" He asks and my cool facade falls."Um , I-I don't wanna talk about that." I say , looking down and rubbing the back of my neck.He gives me an apologetic look and drops the question.Before I forget I turn to the teacher and ask what DS means. "Excuse me sir , but what does DS mean?" I ask.
"It's kinda like a Danger Scale.Green means not very dangerous and yellow means mildly dangerous." He says."And red?" I ask and his eyes widen."Red means extremely dangerous." He says a little scared.I nod my head and thank him before returning to my seat.
So I am extremely dangerous.
