My Romeo

Each and every story has a beginning, whether it starts off with 'Once upon a time' or some bitch narrating this damn shit. Either way it has a beginning. The tricking thing about starting a story is to find a hook for whoever's listening, or in your case it would be reading. A hook is tricky, it needs to be sharp and shiny in order to work. So how about I give it a try?
Let's begin!

I sit in a dark, damp alleyway, listening to raindrops hit the ground. The small breeze puts shivers up my spine, causing me to shake uncontrollably. I sit here and wait until I know it's alright to go home and retrieve my bags. I cannot live in that house anymore, each time I enter those doors, a part of me breaks inside a little. I hate my parents! If I go home now, they'll beat the shit out of me! I'm scared of them and I'm tired of being in fear. If I stay, then I'm dead, it's time runaway. My best friend said I could stay with her for the time being. Her parents know about the scars my parents leave on me, and so they care for me and look after me as if I were their own, as if me and Nicole are sisters. That family makes me feel safe, but with them it doesn't feel like home. It doesn't feel like home with my own family either, but it is what it is. I watch my house from across the street, between a diner and a deli. I watch as my parents leave the house and pull out of the driveway in their grey Volkswagen. I quickly run out of the shadows and into the house, running upstairs to retrieve my bags.I grab an extra pair of converse out of my closet and grab my Ipod from off the table. I stand in my doorway, admiring my new-founded courage to leave this hell hole.I run out the front door with all my stuff and back into the alleyway. I take out my phone and call Nicole to come pick me up.
The phone rings twice before she picks up.

"Hello?" her soft, light voice says through the phone.

"Hey Nicole, can you pick me up, like now?" I ask, pretty much beg.

"Yeah, I'm on my way." she says, hanging up the phone.

It's gonna take her a half an hour to get hear since she lives on the other side of town. Great. Now all I have to do is sit here and wait, but it's way too cold to sit out here and wait in the rain. I'm going into the diner. I open the glass door and the host seats me in a booth, next to a window. I look around in here and don't really notice anything that really pops out to me. An auburn haired waitress comes to my table.

"Hi my name is Lisa, what can I get you?" she asks me. I take a small glance at the menu and already decide on what I want.

"Can I get a cheeseburger with fries on the side and a strawberry milkshake?" I ask, I'm really hungry.

"Right away, would you like a drink while you wait for everything to be made?"

"Water please." I say and she walks back to the kitchen.

I take off my Led Zeppelin zipped up hoodie, and force it into my bag. Just as I take a sip out of my water, four guys walk into the diner. The host sits them at the table next to mine, making me nervous. I'm socially awkward, which is why I only have one friend, and I'm sitting alone in a booth. Kill me now. My anxiety is a bitch at times, so here we go. I glance over at the guys as they sit down. Two of them have dyed black hair and black clothing, the other two had lighter hair and British accents. I listen to their conversation.

"So you're starting your new job tomorrow Andy?" the British one with the beard asks.

"Yeah, Juliet's not too happy about it though." says Andy.

"Why not?" asks the other guy with dyed black hair.

"She thinks that me becoming a music teacher is a waist of my time, and that I should have a better job that pays more money. She doesn't get that I'm not only doing it because it pays the bills. I want to be able to teach kids about music and how much better it can make your life." says Andy. I heard we were getting a new music teacher, I just never thought he'd be so young and handsome.

"I get it. Juliet just needs to calm her tits." says the other British one. They all chuckle and then I see Andy look my way. Andy sits across from me in the booth.

"Hey my name's Andy, you?" he asks.

"My name's... uh Scarlet." I say shyly. Why is he talking to me?

"Are you a student at West Hill High School?" I nod my head yes and he smiles at my nervousness. "I'm the new music teacher. Do you mind if me and my friends join you? You look kinda lonely." he says. His voice is deep, it makes my heart pump faster, and I blush a little.

"Sure." I say under my breath. Why does he want to join me?

"Come over guys and meet a new friend of mine, Scarlet."

So this is my beginning.
