It's me.

I'm walking through school, tears streaking my round face. Some year six kids scowl at me as I walk past, but I keep my head held high. Someone comes towards me, rage written all over her face as if she were an open book. My eyes widen in fear and she grabs me by the shirt, dragging me outside and I stumble.

She pushes me against a brick wall and leans in, scowling. She screams in my face, but I can't hear what she says, or what I reply with. Her lips move furiously as she forms words I cannot hear, and a vein in her temple protrudes, standing out on her pale skin. Her face is framed with thick, black hair and her eyes are a dusty brown. She looks around my age, eight or nine.

I cower against the wall as she rants, my eyes wide with fear and my lip trembles as I try to form words but it makes her more agitated. She lashes out, back handing me in the face. My eyes widen in shock and tears swell in my eyes and I shout something at her that makes her furious.

She grabs me by the hair, tugging it, then yanking it so I fall to the ground, dirt flying into my eyes. She kicks me in the stomach, making me yelp, but she doesn't stop. She pulls my hair, ripping a chunk out and my mouth opens as I scream, the veins in my neck noticeable.

I can hear nothing.

People gather around, chanting and throwing their fists up into the air, bit I have no idea what they are saying. The girl pulls me up, and I stumble, already weak. The girl lands an uppercut to my jaw and I stumble, falling to the ground, my mouth pooling with blood. She lashes out with her foot, kicking me in the nose so blood spurts out.

She bends down, spiting some more cruel things at me, tugging my hair so I face her.

A teacher comes over, pulling her away from me but she struggles, pointing at me and shouting accusations.

But I don't know what they are.

My eyes slowly close as I become unconscious...

I wake up with my face all sticky, and to the smell of eggs and bacon. I sit up, staring at the sky-blue ceiling.

Was that a dream? A memory from my past?

It's been happening a lot lately, and I have no idea why.

Deal with it later Fate.

My face is streaked with tears, and guess what, my tears are blood.

I look around the bedroom and I see my vanity, my mirror and the door to my balcony. Rubbing my eyes, I stand and head out the door, quickly glancing in the mirrior to see if im respectible.

I look like I have been in a car accident.

I quickly wash the blood off my face in my en suite and I look back to the mirror.

Meh, close enough.

I shut the door behind me, and my bare feet slightly sting from the coolness of the mable floor. I quickly make my way down the hall and down the stairs. I can hear conversation, and I can hear Scarlett having a go at someone.

"--here?"

"Technically its my place too. I didn't know you guys were going to be here."

I freeze before I make it around the corner.

"Well...can you leave?!?!"

"..Why?"

"Because..."--she stops, then lowers her voice to a whisper--"...because she could fall for you."
