Alfie's POV

As i walked in to school i was  determined to find out more about Kayden. i jogged over to the football pitch and over to Leighton.

"whats up mate" he asked 

"nothin' " i replied but before he could walk away i said "can you help me with somethin' " 

"like what " he asked suspiciously

" tell me about Kayden Smith" i said bluntly he looked confused but still told me . Apparently she's lived in the area since she was a kid and has never tried to make friends , always kept her distance.

It wasn't much but i was posotive i would find out more so i went over to the girls side of the yard.

"hey" i said aproching the most fake girl i could find.

"hey Alfie" she gigled back

"can you tell me somethin'" i asked smiling

"sure" she gigled again

" who's Kayden Smith"  i asked smirking because of the reaction i got , her smile fell and her heavily made up eyes turned cold.

"she's a nobody" she replied harshly before walking away.

great i thought before walking to form.

Kayden's POV

i woke up with a pounding head ache and a numb pain in my arm and ribs, there was plaster on the floor where i had hit the wall and shards of broken glass dotted about. when i tryed to stand up i went dizzy and had to grab the wall for support but i still manged to shower and change in to my school uniform.

Quickly i ran across the yard and into form . panting i leaned against the chalk board, my ribs stinging and my head spinning. 

"nice of you to join us Kayden"  mr Macallun spat,

"sorry sir" i muttered keeping my head down and walking to my new desk

" what no excuse" he mocked , i was getting sick of him thinking he knew me but i controlled my anger and sat down at the back of the class.

-------------------------

The luch bell went but mr macallun sent a teacher to collect me for a lunch time detention.

"nice to see you again miss Smith" he sneered, i didn't  reply " oh wow no answere" he said sarcasticly .

I listened to his 30 minute long lecture on time wasting and then he left and said i could have the rest of lunch, so i walked out on to the yard.

The yard was as grey and cold as usual but today it was also blured as my head ach had gotten worse, the boys football match sounded as though it was miles away not a few feet and when the school bell rang i could hardly focous long enough to realise what it was.

Walking to class caused my ribs to throb and when i finally got to class everyone was already there .

Alfie's POV

Kayden walked in to history 10 minutes late and when she did appear the small amount of face we could see looked paler then usual , her odd coloured eyes looked pained and when she moved her arm to hand the teacher her planner she winced slightly.

" you ok " i wispered when she sat down

" ye " she muttered not looking me in the eyes.

Throught out the class i noticed how she kept on clenching her fist on one hand , like she was trying not to scream out in pain.

----------------------------

I waited for Kayden outside the school gates , and when i saw her walk out i had to jog to catch up with her.

"Kayden" i said coming up behind her

" what do you want Alfie" she asked not looking at me

"i want to ask you somthing " i said smiling

"ask away " she replied sarcasticly, i didn't know were to start so i started with one of the first things i noticed about her.

" why is one of your eyes blue and one green" i asked shyly

"don't know" she answered before walking away quickly.

---------------------------------

When i got in my dad was sitting on the couch , his detective badge on the coffee table and his coat thrown over the back of the arm chair.

" whats wrong" i asked 

"nothing i just solved a case early" he answered " how was your day"

" fine " i replied " dad do you know anything about a Smith family" he looked confused

" what Smith family" he asked a look of concern on his face

" one with a girl called Kayden in" i answered

"nope" he said leaning back against the couch and closeing his eyes.

disapointed i went back on his coldcase datebase and read the article on Ricki Smith , it said she was 3 when she went missing after her family home had caught fire killing her brother and mother, there was also a picture of a thin child with dark hair and pale skin . i looked closely at the child and all of a sudden my heart started beating faster the child eyes where different colours.
