Chapter 1
A phone alarm blared from the side table causing Louis to let our a groan curling further into her comforter. She let it go off for a few moments before growling as she sat up in her bed reaching over to turn it off. She rubbed her eyes and yawned as she picked her phone up quickly checking the time. The phone read 5:30 am Monday March 14th. Louis sighed grabbing the corner of her comforter and tossing it off her as she got out of bed. She stood bringing her arms above her head as she stretched. She noticed the street light outside her window still lighting up the streets Theres something peaceful about the darkness before the sunrise. Louis's stomach growled snapping her out of thought as she continued to get dressed in her paws no school uniform. She tucked the white button up into her beige pleaded skirt as the stood infront of her mirror. She looked to the small words sewn at the left side if her chest its read Stewards Christian Academy. 'Ugh I will always hate this uniform' she thought adjusting her clothes before noticing her messy ginger hair. She let out an annoyed groan as she took it down brushing it and gently put it into twin braids. "Louis! Honey! Hurry up if you want to eat before school!" A voice called from down stairs. Louis turned grabbing her satchel bag and hurrying out of her room and down the stairs. Her mom met her at the bottom with a plate of strawberry toast and orange juice "Good morning " Louis chimed taking the plate and glass. She smiled noticing her moms outfit. She seemed to be dressed for a job interview in a tight skirt and button up top."Doing something today?" She asked before taking a sip of the juice. She watched as her mom walked iver to the cabinet getting out a coffee cup"I finally got an interview with that office job I told you about last week thank the lord!" she said happily as she poured her coffee. Louis smiled at her mom as she took a few bites of the toast 'Wonder how long thing one is going to last' she thought to her self swallowing her mouth full of toast and taking one last swing of her orange juice. "Thank you for breakfast" she said wiping her face after setting the plate on the table. "Is that all tour going to eat?" Her mom asked turning around mug in hand. Louis shrugged before walking past and towards the front door "Breakfast is important Loui " she said following behinds her gabbing the keys as they went through the front door "You say that every day" Louis said annoyed as she walked out to the black suv parked in the drive way."Because its true." She retorted climbing into the drivers seat.The sky began turning pale as the sun started peaking over the horizon. Mom started the car "I cant wait till uou can drive your self. Its only a few month away arnt you excited?" She asked as she backed out of the driveway. "I guess so. I dont get why people get excited about driving" she said turning to look out the window as the drove. "Its a sign your growing up! You earn alot of freedom when you get your license" she said glancing back to her in the rear view mirror "It not like I cant walk to any store in this town." She said as they passed the small strip of stores passing by the small pizza place that the old couple on her street own. Mom just gave her a look deciding to leave her alone riding in silence till they got to the school. She parked out front so Louis could hop out "Have a good day!" She called before Louis shut the door. She could hear her mother pull away behind her as she walked up to and through the glass door entering the long hall of her school. The buzz of hushed conversation filled her hall as girls spilled from class rooms into the halls. To her right was a large window into the front office where her favorite teacher Ms.Hulls sat. She seemed to have caught the teachers eye as Ms.Hulls looked up from her computer to wave. Louis waved back before she continued down the hall weaving around the friend groups that had gathered accidentally bumping one of the girls causing her to whirll around with a look of anger and disgust "Watch it Dyke!" She hissed before turning back to her freind circle and continuing to laugh along with them. Louis swallowed hard shaking it off as she continued to her class room. Finally reaching to she stepped through the sliding door causing the students loitering to look up at her before going back to their conversation still giving glances to her. Louis furrowed her brow as she walked over sitting at her desk glancing around to the girls sitting on desks. 'Why do they keep looking at me..? ' she thought her self as she hung her bag on her desk. "Louisss!" A voice cooed as a taller girl with dark red hair plopped down on Louis's desk "I just heard about it.. Are you doing ok?" Freya asked looking down to Louis "What are you on about now?" Louis responded looking at her irritated. "Well Norma beard from Everlee that Maxine caught you staring at her ass" she said bringing her voice down on the last words. Louis gave a confused look"What?" She asked "Why did you tell me you were gay? I could have helped you" Freya said her voice seemingly sad and pitiful. Louis face became hot as Freya spoke. She quickly stood up sending her chair dragging causing a loud noise to cut through the chatter causing the room to fall silent. Louis looked around as eyes fell on her. She cleared her throat sitting back down her face red in embarrassment "Im not gay." She said flatly trying to regain her composure as she stared at her hands in her lap. Freya watched her letting out a small chuckle "Tell that to the rest of the school." Freya snickered before falling quite quickly as the teacher walked in. She jumped off Louis desk walking to her own on the other side of the room. Louis eyes stayed locked on her hands as her thoughts began racing 'Is that why that girl called me that in the hall? And why people were looking at me? I just got outed at a Christian school' she thought as the teacher took his place at the lectern. "Good morning" Sister Kaitlyn said placing her things down as everyone found their seats. Louis stared at her desk her stomach churning as her thoughts raced. The bell rung for a few heart beats prompting the teacher begin the lesson. Mrs.Kaitlyn voice faded out as Louis ears began ringing as her gaze flicked around her desk before she knew it another bell cut into her thoughts. "And thats all for today! Dont forget about the homework and we have a test at the end of the week" Mrs.Kaitlny said putting her papers into a neat stack. Classmates began to rise from their seats and putting their text books away. Louis watched them for a minute surprised at how much time she had lost. She composed her self grabbing her bag from the side of her desk and went to stand but was interrupted by Freya appearing back on her desk. Louis looked up to her expecting Freya to say something but the dark haired girl just sat smirking down at her. Louis furrowed her brow snatching up her bag and quickly leaving the room. Louis took a few breaths as she walked down the hall avoiding the girls that gathered beside the walls snickering and whispering as Louis passed.、'Thats probably wasnt about you' she told her self adjusting her satchel strap as she approached the staircase. She rounded the corner letting out a gasp as she almost ran into a girl. Their faces bumped into each other causing Louis to quickly pull away face red. The girl had blonde hair and looked like she was hearing lip gloss and massacre. She stepped back with a look of disgust "Get away from me Homo" she hissed shoulder checking Louis as she continued into the hallway. Louis watched after he shocked and speechless as tear threatened ti start welling up. She swallowed hard turning to trudge up the stairs
