My hair is braided and my uniform is laid in front of me.

All I have to do is put it on.

I was very exited, but i've been feeling so weird since friday. I can't seem to calm down. It's preventing me from being able to enjoy this moment.

I bring my hand upwards and without giving it a second thought my hands collide with my cheek.

Get yourself together Angelica.

I don't want my brothers to get suspicious. That's very bad if they do. Very bad. Macy said not to tell them.

I can't let Jake hurt me. Macy said he has been friends with the twins since forever, they won't believe me even if I told them.

After I put my uniform on my nails dig into the palm of my hand. Your okay Angelica, you'll be fine without them.

When I walk down the stairs I feel like my legs will bend and i'll trip down the stairs.

From now on, I can't be close to them anymore.

Macy said they don't like whores, and i'm one after what Jake did.

I know he just touched my hair and face, but it made me feel terrible. Macy said that feeling means that if I wasn't a whore before, I sure am now.

When I enter Macy is hugging Mateos waist. I try to smile, but I feel like i'm going to throw up.

Elias who was making coffee walks towards me and places both his warm hands on my cheeks, he leans down to kiss the top of my head but I turn my head to the side before he does it.

It makes me sad, but I have to do this, before I give in and try to take them away from Macy and in the process let Jake hurt me.

I'm very tired, I wish I could go back to bed and sleep forever.

Eli's eyebrows draw together. It flashes for mere seconds, but I saw it. Hurt.

I'm sorry

The room is quite, until Macy starts speaking, bringing all the attention to her. I feel Romeo's and Eli's gaze on me but I ignore them.

"Eat" Romeo places a bowl of yogurt and fruits in front of me.

I move it all around the plate, I just can't bring myself to eat it. I feel like i'll get it all out if I do.

"We're leaving Cecilia" Eli tries to pick me up but I dodge him and get down the tall stool on my own.

My ankle twisted to the side when my feet touch the ground but I pretend it didn't happen. Macy is watching me intently from the side of her eye. She's scary, I wish I could hug Eli. He always makes me feel better.

Matteo leaves for class, Enzo, Armani, and Macy leave together in a car. I'll be going to the same school as them but I'll go with Eli today since It was required for him to sign some documents.

Romeo decided to come too. Before entering the car Elias makes Romeo put out his cigarette.

My two oldest brothers smoke a lot. I've seen them smoke plenty of times to know they are hard core smokers.

Mother would smoke too. It would actually relax her and put her in a better mood.

The drive to the school isn't very long. The first thing I notice is that is huge, there's also a lot of windows and fences all around it similar to my siblings home.

When we get down Elias tries to hold my hand. I yank it away from him. My breathing speeds up. I bite my lips and dig my nails in the palm of my hands to calm down.

Your okay.

Elias stops and looks at me. "What's wrong?"

I bring my hands upwards to wrap around my arms. It makes me feel safer.

I shake my head. I notice Romeo has gotten another cigarette out and was just staring at Eli and I.

Elias continues to blankly stare at me, waiting for an answer. I'm not feeling very energetic but them staring at me like that makes me frustrated. Why can't they just let it go?

They're unwavering stare and my horrible stomach ache overwhelms me.

"Nothing!" I scream at him, surprising even myself. I think Elias is taken aback from my sudden outburst because he grabs my hand tightly, not enough to hurt, but it's different. Not the usual gentle hold.

My stomach turns. I don't try to yank my hand away anymore. I just wanna cry.

Is annoying when you cry.

I look around frantically, Macy is not here.

I bite the inside of my cheek to prevent myself from crying.

"C-can I go to the bathroom before we go the o-office?"

Elias doesn't say anything but leads us to the bathroom regardless. I notice there's no one in the hallways, they're all probably in class right now.

Both of my brothers wait for me outside the door. When I'm inside I go in a stall. These bathrooms look like the ones at the mall, except there's no one in here. Just me.

I want to scratch my skin and rip the uniform off me, to feel anything else other then this feeling. I slap my cheek one more time and my hands pull my hair. You need to stop Angelica.

I walk to the sink and look at myself in the mirror. Jakes face flashes trough my mind.

I take a deep breath in hopes it will help me look less crazy.

When I'm out Elias and Romeo just stare at me. My hands are clasped together to my chest as I walk in between both my brothers. If I don't calm down a tiny bit now I won't be able to go through the day.

Looking at every corner of my surroundings to make sure no one is watching I quietly wrap my hands around Eli's big hand. He doesn't do the same I did to him, he just let's me be.

I hold Eli's hand throughout the whole office thing. I did learn that i'll be put into 7th grade. Since this school is private, I don't know what that meant, i'll only have one teacher for all main subjects like math and english.

After my brother is finished signing everything the principal tells them that they can drop me off at my class.

Eli said i'll be coming back home with the twins. I didn't even care anymore, I just wanted to get everything over with.

When the three of us finally make it outside the closed door of my classroom I feel sick.

Why can't I be excited? I've always wanted to come to school.

"We'll be leaving now Angelica"

I look up at both my brothers frantically, "Eli!" I whisper desperately, holding onto his suit.

"School is important Angelica" Romeo reminds me that there's no way out.

This is going to be a long day.

...

I threw the bloody paper towel away and placed the bandaid on my hand.

A girl from my class, Merida, scratched me. She said it was an accident, but it burns.

Now though, I have to find the twins and Macy, since school ended a minute ago.

There are so many people outside it's almost impossible to identify who is who. Specially with the uniforms.

"Angelica!" My head snaps to the direction where the voice is coming from. Macys yellow hair is pin straight today. She waves her hand in a signal for me to come where she is. As I walk my blood goes cold when I see behind her.

Jake talking to Enzo and Armani.

Macy comes closer and holds my upper arm tightly, she brings her mouth close to my ear, "Remember what we talked" I nod and look up to see Jake gone. Enzo and Armani are waiting for us.

There is so many tall people in this school.

My hand is grabbed by someone. I turn around to see it's Enzo.

Macy is watching...

I rip my hand away from his. "You'll get lost" I shake my head and turn away from him. I'm not going to get lost.

Armani goes to grab my arm but I slap his hand away so hard even I felt it.

Stupid Angelica, you don't hit people.

I'm sure this makes Armani mad because he grabs my wrist so tightly I soon start feeling my blood circulation stop. I try to pry my arm away but his hold is strong, I feel like i'm re-living this situation again.

It hurts. Macy glares at me and I take that as a warning. "Let go!" I raise my voice and hit his arm but it only angers Armani more.

Armani pushes me inside the car. My shoulder

slams against the other door but i'm just thankful he let go. My hand is shaking and there's a red mark on my wrist.

I just need to sleep, I repeat to myself.

Hopefully you guys don't hate Angelica 😭

Also this is how I imagine her uniform...

But they are tights instead of socks because you know bruises.

I imagine her hairlike thisss. I want a cat so bad ! Also this is Angels hair color :)

I hope is not considered blonde because I don't imagine her as one. She kinda has very light brown hair but not a blonde shade. Like actual light brown.
