I sat awake on my bed looking off into no where wondering why i should even go to this school..
I'm just going to be another outcast as usual, when i gained confidence i finally motivated myself to stand and grab some clothes i picked a white shirt and some shorts and combat boots.
When i walked downstairs i passed a mirror revealing my bruises near and around my eyes and some scratch marks i sighed and kept moving knowing what i would say if anyone asks..
"No I'm fine i just fell down."

Not say anything to my parents i just walked out the door and my way to school.
when i saw the building i looked to the ground and kept my face down not looking at anyone and just made my way to the office when i arrived i was greeted by a lady with black hair and sweet warm brown eyes she smiled to me and i gave a small smile back. "Mrs,Madelyn is it?" i nodded lightly and she handed me a schedule i gazed over it and shook my head in agreement she nodded.
"your first hour is right down the hall to the left.. Mr,Harris Biology."

I walked out of the small room and walked down the empty hallway looking for a locker with the number '2234'. When i found it i opened it and shoved some books into it and closed it sighing and headed to first hour. finally i reached the door and knocked lightly on it i heard the teacher get up and walk to the door opening it for me.

he smiled and i looked to the ground. "Grace Madelyn?" i gave a quick nod and kept my gaze on the floor not wanting to make eye contact "Alright you cant sit in the back with Clark."
i looked back to the girl she had fair skin blonde hair and blue eyes and tiny freckles on her cheeks and under her eyes.

When i reached the seat i sat down quietly as the girl named Clark turned towards me smiling,she had a very happy attitude. "Hi I'm Clark Watson'' she gave a warm smiles and stared at me intensely i turned towards her and whispered "Grace.. Grace Madelyn"

As soon as the teacher started rambling on a girl with strawberry blonde hair walked in and smiled towards the teacher as he stated "Mrs,Martin" she smiled and looked to me and looked down again "That girl is in my seat Mr,Harris." he realized the mistake and spoke up to me..
"Grace could you move up one seat next to um.. Mr,Lahey"

I nodded and grabbed my books and backpack and scurried to the next seat up not making any contact what so ever i noticed he was very quite also but one thing that really stood out overall was the big bruise covering his left eye.. i didn't think much of it maybe he was in a fight or maybe a sport but i quickly turned back to my notebook and scribbled down notes.

After endless classes the bell rang for lunch i walked down the hall getting pushed and shoved into lockers and walls i kept walking and heard someone say something catching my attention
"That's her! look at the bruises on her face!" when i heard that i ran to the bathroom tears streaming down my cheeks making all the makeup i had tried using to cover the discolored markings was completely gone..

I held onto the sink and gazed at my reflection i closed my eyes wishing i could just disappear..
when the tears finally ceased from my eyes i straighten up and walked out back into the hallway making my way to the cafeteria.

When i walked into the over sized room i looked around knowing i would sit alone, i waited in the line to grab a salad because i wasn't very hungry.. when i got it i went to the back of the lunch room and sat in the corner feeling like i was in solitary confinement..

Just as i was about to leave the lunch room someone bumped into me spilling there food all over my white top i looked down and looked up seeing that boy i sit next to in biology something lahey but i don't remember his first name i quickly avoided conversation and ran out of the area he was in and locked myself in a stall trying to scrape the food off my shirt but everything smeared and made it twice as worse..

I felt something wetten the sides of my cheeks clearly showing i was crying. I wiped my eyes quickly and walked out of the bathroom still upset that my shirt was a mess when i stepped out i heard giggles and whispering i tried ignoring it and just kept walking to get away from everyone and everything i walked around and found a place a quite sanctuary..

When i sat down i closed my eyes and let the tears leak from my eyes i didn't realize the footsteps walking towards me because i was deep into my thoughts and cries. I felt someones presents next to me and looked up next to me seeing that boy again..

He gave a warm smile towards me but i still felt tears dribbling from my eyes, i closed my eyes trying to make them stop but nothing worked.. He embraced his arms around me tightly but i just kept sobbing into his chest.

He put his chin on top of my head and rubbed his hands through my hair carefully, i started calming down and he spoke to me.. "Hey.. I'm sorry about at lunch but I'm isaac.." he gave a frown and i gazed into his sparkling blue ocean like eyes and smiled "Grace" he gave a beaming smile and we ended up ditching the rest of last hour together just talking to each other and it was amazing.

When the end of the day bell rang i strolled home not caring about anything or anyone. When i entered the door of my residence i didn't say a word to anyone and just walked straight upstairs and plopped onto my bed laying down looking at the ceiling but someone busted through my door shouting with anger.

"Grace Amber Madelyn! you didn't even say hello to me or your father!?" i looked at her and shrugged "I'm sorry mom.. i completely forgot..'' she trekked over to my bedside and gave me a glare "you know grace you are a good for nothing, worthless,waist of space'' with those words my heart sank into my stomach and she slapped across my face hard and punched my eye leaving a marking from both harmful strikes, she waltz out and i screamed into my pillow and cried..

"I'm done, I'm done trying'' with those words i grabbed a sharp blade hidden in my doodling notebook and made small incisions in my forearm with every cut i made a small whimper and whispered "Its my fault,its my fault''

My head started spinning and my eyes started getting heavy i fought to keep them opened but sooner or later they sealed closed...
