Alpha Jessie's surprise mate

I mean really WTF, I say to myself as I'm slinging things all around my room. The doorbell is repeatedly ringing and I hear my best friend Amanda banging on the door and yelling "hurry up Lacy we are gonna be late again, im not in the mood for an ass chewing today" I hear her yell. I quickly toss on my shoes and coincedently find my favorite hoodie hanging on my door, the one that I just destroyed my room looking for. I grab my bag and run down the stairs. I enter the kitchen to grab a quick something to eat on the way to school and i smell smoke or something smoldering in the living room. Great.... she's passing out with lit cigarettes again. I place the ashtray in the sink and run some water in it and take another glance around at the empty liquor bottles and pictures that are spread out across the floor. I give my mom a quick kiss on her forehead and headed out the front door to meet my best friend. "How is she doing today?" Amanda asked. "Falling asleep with lit cigarettes again, she also had her and my dad's pictures out looking at them again last night" I say. My name is Lacey Torres, and this was pretty much my life. I came home from school and usually went straight to work after making my mom something to eat, when I didn't work I was doing my best to care for my alcoholic mother, and getting our house cleaned back up because she would get angry when she was alone and destroy stuff. A lot of times I would have to make her take a shower but usually i would have to help cause she physically couldnt stand up because of how drunk she always was. She's been pretty bad off for years, but every day seems to get worse. Things weren't always like this though, my early childhood was great and she was a normal mom. I'm not sure what happened to her but depression had its grip on her and I didn't ever see her getting out of it. I tried to drown myself in school and work so I didn't have time to think too much, but working late shifts had caused me to be late for school one too many times, to the point its risking me not graduating. The diner that I worked at was just a small town Cafe. My boss was a pervert so I did my best to ignore him and just do my job so I could make some money and leave. I had regular customers that tipped me pretty well, but I wasn't making enough to take care of me and my mom and pay bills too, I was really behind on everything and struggling to catch up so I was taking any extra shifts I could get. I worked 3rd shift last night, I got home at 6am this morning and made the mistake of laying down for a "nap" and I was just too exhausted and didn't hear my alarm. I don't really have friends, only amanda. I'm the quiet girl who doesn't say much and just skates by, I really don't believe I'll be remembered by anyone because I try my best to stay under the radar. My friend Amanda works with me at the Cafe too, she also has a side job at a bar that she works at some nights. Me and Amanda met on some very strange circumstances but we took each other in and now I consider her more of a sister than a friend. She didn't have any family either so we spent almost all of our time together. This was our last year of high-school and I'm so thankful for that. Amanda was kind of an asshole, not to me of course, but most people at school didn't spare her much of their time because she wasn't mean but she wasn't friendly either, and if she didn't like you, you knew about it..... turns out she didn't like most people and was more of a loner also, but she would always have me. Me and her were the perfect picture of opposites, she stood up for herself, she didn't allow people to treat her badly and she always spoke her mind. I didn't do that, I allowed people to be disrespectful and say really mean things to me and I just blew it off and ignored it, and that's partially why I'm so glad I was almost done with school, the people at the diner were much nicer than the people at school and as soon as I could be done with coming to this place, the better. Amanda was short and had long hair and full lips, just like me but that's about all we had in common as far as apperance goes, she had straight blonde hair and she was very fair skinned and the brightest blue eyes while I was tan and had dark curly hair and bright green eyes. We only have a few months of school left but we have already maxed out our tardy and absence allowances for the whole year and we are currently late again. We rushed from my porch to hop in Amanda's old 4 door honda it's pretty beat up and doesn't smell the greatest but it gets us where we need to go, she cranks the music up as we are heading to the s**t hole we recieve our education at and all I can do is enjoy this little bit of happiness we have every morning before i have to think about the snoody remarks I will get from all the popular girls that are in my first period class, luckily I won't be in there long. Speak of the place, here we are...... Jamestown high school. The building was older looking, it desperately needed to be pressure washed and the landscaping was well overdue, the bushes and flowers had all died from lack of maintenence, there was weeds growing up through the cracks in the sidewalk, and the occasional trash here and there laying around outside. This place was a dump, and the staff wasn't really very good either. Rumors say that our principle likes to have affairs with some of the senior girls, and all of our teachers are literally only here to cash a check, none of them actually show they care about any of the students or our education!
