Bailey's POV:

"HELL YEAH, YOU GO GIRLY MOVE THEM LEGS!!" I ignored the grown man that took time out of his day to roll down his pick-up truck window just say some weird phrase that's supposed to catch my attention and what? I don't know what they expect from me, I'm just trying to run while listening to Maggie Lindemann and Mac Miller that's it. I flip off the guy as he drives in the opposite direction from me, literally the reason why I like girls. I mean it's the only reason but girls will top boys men every time unless they were written by a woman which seems to be rare except in books. They're everywhere in books, maybe a female version of a book boy protagonist that would be nice to have. I'm too single for that so never mind.

My house came closer into view with my parents in the driveway, they should've left already 30 minutes ago since they both start at 6 am. I stopped my running tracker on my phone, 20 minutes 4-mile run, not too bad. "Oh, finally you're here." My mom comments leaning off her white range rover but still being glued to her phone, "How was your run?" My dad asked adjusting his tie, "Oh it was good some guy yelled at me out of his window but that isn't new." I shrug my shoulders then starting to stretch. I noticed my mom scanning my running outfit which is just like any other female runner, a sports bra, spanks, a shirt but granted my shirt was tucked into the waist of the spanks because I took it off halfway through, and my running shoes. She's judging.

"Anyways we wanted to catch you before you went on another run or whatever, we'll be home late maybe around eleven because of a business venture out of the city so there's food in the fridge, the cameras are on don't even try to leave the house or think about inviting anyone over, we'll know. Don't disappoint me again Bailey, I'm still over this cheating on a testing scandal, now give me a kiss before I leave." She really said all of that while looking at her phone, impressive honestly to sound so assertive yet looking so disinterested. I walked up to her lightly kissing her cheek and I turned to my dad.

"Well I don't have a speech but just be good and don't open the door to strangers and if those creepy men try to catcall you again let them come out of whatever vehicle they're in and attack their groin area." He hugs me very tightly, "I don't know how to fight." I say and he pulls away shrugging, I guess that where I get my shrugging from. "It's fine you'll figure it out, or better yet stop running, and then it'll never happen to you." He grins widely, yeah I'm never going to stop running, maybe if I run far enough I'll never find my way back here. "I'm not going to stop running." I lightly kiss his cheek signaling to go, why would he even suggest that? It's not my fault these strangers can't seem to keep it in their pants. How is that my fault?

"Daniel Harold Skeels! Honey if you do not get your ass in this car I will leave you behind." We both heard mom's threat, "Yes Elaine." I watch him sulk into the rover, an entire day to myself. Great now I have a lot of time to myself. "I'm serious Bailey, I don't want this to happen again, you're disgracing the family, now every time I show face at your school all they'll see is my daughter who cheated on a test because she's desperate for a grade that she can't earn on her own." Ouch, that's another scar in my brain, "Yes mom." I respond standing to the side out of the way before she gets the chance to run me over.

When they're no longer in sight I made my way into the way too quiet of a house. Yeah, no, I'm not having it this quiet, I pulled my phone back out from my waist band and I played the song that was paused when I was talking, I guess, with my parents. "Play your games like they my ticket to an Ivy League school. Won't get you that hall of fame dick from a minor league dude. I just eat pussy other people need food." I sang while copying Mac Miller's dance from the music video on my way to the kitchen, I don't think my parents know I'm bi not that it matters I don't think they care who I like as long as I don't get pregnant, I think. I've hinted at it before.

Megan Fox could get it, Blake Lively could get it, I want to marry Zendaya

If I was in that movie I could've treated her better

If I was him I wouldn't cheat on her

I'm focusing on school I don't have time for boys

It should've been clear from the beginning, very clear. I made myself breakfast and I went up to my room sitting at my desk pulling out my computer. I saw the emails from my teacher's two of them confused about why I'm suspend, at least they have some brain cells. I would be going to my 3rd period right now the same time that the 3 people ran through the hall, when I made eye contact with that girl, did she get in trouble? Did the guy next to me get in trouble? Or that guy who was still in the principal's office. I picked up my phone and sent a text to Carmen.

Your BITCH Carmen

Me
Hey did you see those 3 guys today?
Did you change your contact name again?

Your BITCH Carmen
who? and yes I did I was feeling 'daddy' so I changed it :)

Me
Your lucky that my parents don't go through my phone

And you know who I'm talking about, the 3 that ran by us

Your BITCH Carmen
oh yeah I saw them today just the girl though
why?

Me
Just the girl?

Your BITCH Carmen
yes, now answer the question you hoe

Me
There isn't an answer I just wanted to know

Your BITCH Carmen
mhm sure I gotta go teacher's walking around

Me
Okay byeee

Your BITCH Carmen
I'll text you at lunch

I put my phone down, how is she not suspended? Getting chased by the security guards should get you suspended. How come she's not suspended and I am? That makes no sense, I didn't even cheat on that stupid test. I want to ask her why she's not suspended? Is that why she smirked? Because she knows she could get away with what whatever she did. Who even is she? I've seen her through the halls but that's it she's never been in any of my classes and I don't think I've seen her enter a classroom only leaving them.

How is the sky dark already? How long have I have been reading? I finished my work before lunch and now I'm reading since I couldn't run because my mom saw me leave the garage and she told me 'no', it's fine since I got time to daydream myself in these story situation, even it included having to call a boy named 'Lucas' 'Lulu' it's kinda funny though. All of the sudden I heard the front door slam and I hid my phone under my pillow jumping off my bed to my desk pretending to do work. My heart is about to jump right through my rib cage. "BAILEY!" My mom's voice echoed in the 2 story house, my door burst open and I smelled alcohol wiff through the air. Not again.

She only drinks when something didn't go right in her job, being a lawyer is a lot of stress and it's proven by the woman who birthed me. "Yes." I said something and she her eyes focused on me, I saw her anger wrinkles show again, "I will not have a daughter that disappointments me, I will have a daughter that proves the world wrong. The world is shit and it's going to eat you and kill you if you don't be careful, you're a smart girl. But you will fail if you let shit step over you." She kept eye contact with me the entire time she spoke, she slammed my door shut after I nodded, I held my breath scared to make a sound.
