I was shaken awake by my father. "Get your ass up." He grumbled. I instantly wish I could dig a hole and die in it. I was extremely tired from jet lag, I lived in Australia with my mum who passed away 2 weeks ago... My father has taken full custody over me. I didn't want to live with him, this would be hell. I get out of the car to walk around to the boot of it and grab a box from the boot. I turned around to look at our new apartment complex. The sign read "Addison Apartments (Nockfell)." It looked sketchy. Then again nothing's more scary than seeing your own mother bleeding to death.

My father lead me to our room "403." He opened the door so we could both bring our boxes through. I went back down to the car to grab my last box running back to my room. As I was running towards my door I ran into someone. Like literally ran into them knocking them to the floor. I rubbed my head in pain. All of my belongings in the box had fallen out. I looked at the person I collided with and profusely apologised.

"I am so so so sorry!" I look up at the figure of a teenager. They looked like a masculine girl? She has almost like sky blue hair that fell down to her shoulders. Her hair was separated into two pigtails. She was wearing burgundy jeans that had holes in the knees, a black crew neck and blue converses that matched her hair. The one thing that really stood out was a white mask she was wearing. The left corner had a piece of pink.

"Hey, don't worry! It was an accident!" She has a very deep voice, it sounded more masculine. You realised you completely misgendered them, they're a boy. "I should have been paying attention to where I was running." You apologised once more and started picking up and placing your belongings into the box. The masked boy grabbed some of your stuff and helped put them into the box.

"Thankyou!" You stood up holding your hand out to him. He took it and stood up. "I'm Y/N! I just moved here from Australia!"
"Sal, Sal Fisher! Your accent makes sense now. I was wondering where that accent could be from."

You smiled at him. His mask lifted up which informed you he was smiling back. "I have to head inside to my room and unpack but here." You handed your phone to him. "Put your number in, so we can talk and get to know each other." He obliged and handed your phone back to you. You say goodbye and head inside to the apartment you now call hell.

"WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?" My father yells as soon as I get inside. "I bumped into someone when I was bringing my last box upstairs, we both fell over and he helped me put my stuff back into the box." I replied in an annoyed tone. "DON'T TALK BACK YOU BITCH!" I feel a stinging sensation against my cheek, I placed my hand on it feeling it burn.

I run into my room with my box slamming the door and locking it. I put the box down and slide down the wall sobbing into my hands. I just want my mum... I fell a vibration come from my phone. I received a message from a number I don't recognise.

Texts:

Number: "Hey!"

Me: "Um hi, who is this?"

Number: "Oh it's Sal! The guy you bumped into."

Me: "Oh right! Hey!"

Sal: "Hey! Are you okay? I heard yelling and a weird nose come from next door?"

Me: "Yeah... I'm fine."

Sal: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yep."

Sal: "No you aren't, are you busy right now? Want to come to my room?"

Me: "Um. Yeah sure I'll be right over."

I walk out my door to see my dad passed out on the floor drunk. I rolled my eyes sticking the finger up at him knowing he can't see before walking out the door. I knock at Sal's door waiting for an answer. "Hey! It's open!" I walk in to see a fat tabby cat resting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey!" The blue haired boy walks towards me. "Hey.." I say shyly, why am I being so shy suddenly? Sal grabs my chin and examines my cheek. "What happened? You didn't have that when I met you like an hour ago?" I immediately look down. "Who did it?" He says with concern and anger.
