my alarm went off at 7:00 in the morning. 
                          
That back to school butterflies where in my stomach. I groned and rolled over to get out of bed. I went to my closet to pick out an outfit. I put on high rise jeans and a hoodie. I remember it always being so cold like this last year.
                          
'Woah. Im a sophomore now, who would have thought, just a couple years ago me and benny-' I cut myself off and what I was thinking. Benny.
                          
he's not here anymore to walk with me to school. my mood instantly dropped, but when hasn't it these past weeks. I took a deep breath and tried to get myself finished up for school.

I ran downstairs already with my book bag and everything. "good morning love" Catalina said with a smile hugging my dad. "oh, hi, good morning you two" I light smiled. "aren't you gonna eat?" she asked. "oh um, sure", I had to force myself to eat because they both don't know I have been struggling with my mental health and eating.
                          
Catalina made me a bagel. "you know im gonna be late if I stay, ill eat it on the way" I said grabbing the bagel off the counter. "sounds good, have a wonderful first day baby girl"my dad said kissing my forehead, after Catalina gave me a hug.
                          
I walked out the house and threw the bagel into the trash because I know I wasn't gonna eat. I started walking towards school and I pulled out my phone texting the group chat.
                          
me: we meeting in the same spot?
                          
Yeah: yeah yeah
                          
squints: see you there
                          
me: sounds good, Charlie its in front of the locker rooms btw
                          
Charlie: ill be there :)
                          
Benny: have a great first day of school guys!



                          
"oh my fucking god!" I shouted. I didn't realize I texted the group that benny was in. sad thoughts only filled my head. Benny should be walking with me right now. No one texted the group chat but smalls.
                          
smalls: you to benny :)
                          
I don't blame smalls, smalls is nice to everyone, I can't take that way from him. as I was getting farther from my house i teared up, my throat felt like it was closing, I looked up and fanned my eyes because I don't want anyone to see my crying and show up to school with puffy red eyes.

I way up before everyone else because I was so nervous for this new school. I received texts from the old group chat, I smiled to see Serena texting but I know she hates me and my entire being. I just had to fuck shit up. I bet the boys didn't realize either since once I texted no one answered but smalls.
                          
I was in between anger and sadness, honestly I don't know how to feel anymore. My phone was getting and incoming call from isa.
                          
Isa: get your ass outside! im waiting for you
                          
benny: Jesus ok
                          
I hung up the phone and grabbed my bag. "Bye mama!" I shouted. "bye mijo! have a wonderful day!" she yelled back.
                          
I opened my front door and there she was. sitting on my front step. she stood up and smiled. she was wearing leggings and and a white tie top. she stuck her arms out asking for a hug.
                          
of course I hugged her. "I feel like throwing up" I admitted. "You'll be fine, ill walk with you to all your classes." she said interlocking her fingers with mine. I didn't say anything. "Sounds good" I grinned.
