After school finished I headed back to the boarding house and began to clean my new room. It was clear no one had used this room for a very, very long time. After lots of dusting, decorating, washing and a little crying I was finally satisfied with the way it looked.
I plopped down onto my bed, exhausted. I pulled out my phone and saw the time. Oh no. It was 6:58 and dinner finishes at 7. I had 2 minutes to get all the way to the dining room which was on the other end of the boarding house.
I shot off my bed and run up the stairs and down the hallway at lightning speed. I ran passed the girls rooms then the boys until I was finally at the dinning room. I felt like the flash, whoosh.
By the time i'd reached the dinning room I was panting and gasping for air. I looked around and the room was practically empty. There were only a few kids still inside and they were all getting ready to leave. I rushed into the room, just praying the school would still allow me to eat.
"Sorry kitchens closed" the chef said.
"I know but it's my first day boarding and I was cleaning my room. I wasn't looking at the time and before I knew it it was almost 7! I know it's against rules but it's my first day and i'm really hungry" I rambled on.
"Not my problem" the chef shrugged walking off. Well that was rude.
I sighed bowing my head in defeat. It was my first day living here and I already hated it. I guess I was going without dinner tonight. As I left the dinning room I heard the Erotes talking in the hall but they stoped when they saw me.
"What the hell is she doing here" one of the boys said. I think his names Atlas. I'd seen him in my media class. He used to go out with Harlee, shocker.
"Oh god I swear she's stalking me" Ash said.
"Hey stalker girl!" Ash called out to me.
"Why are you so obsessed with me? It's pathetic!" the whole group started to laugh.
"If you're trying to get into his pants it's not going to work. No one wants an ugly slut like you" Atlas said
"No one but Mr Clark" Fay, another member of the Erotes group, scoffed.
"What?" Seth said looking at Fay who was standing next to him with her arm around his back.
"Yeah, Harlee said she saw her with Mr Clark after English class. Apparently the whore's been fucking him for good grades. That's why they moved her up into our English class" Fay replied to Seth
Yet again the whole group burst out laughing at my expense. I think this was my cue to leave. I didn't want to stand there while they said nasty things about me. They can do that when i'm not around.
"This is priceless" I heard one of them say between laughs.
"I knew she was desperate but MR CLARK" another member laughed.
"Awh, where are you going slut?" Fay called out, noticing that I had begun walking away.
"Probably to fuck Mr Clark" I heard Seth say but I ignored it. I just kept on walking back to the girls side of the boarding house and then down the stair's to my room.
I could already tell living under the same roof as most of the Erotes was going to be a problem. Why did mum have to leave me. I tried to call her but it went straight to voice mail. I lay back in my bed and continued to try to call her. In the end I had called so many times that I was just doing it to hear her voice on the voicemail. I missed her so much.

The next morning I managed to get too breakfast on time. I set three alarms and made sure I was at the dinning room the second those doors opened. I was determined not to miss it.
School had been uneventful until my last class. English.
All lesson the seniors kept giving me dirty looks. I don't think they were very happy about me joining their class. After spotting Seth and Ash sitting at the back of the room I wasn't so happy about being there either. Being smart really is a curse.
I was grateful when I finally heard the bell ring. I gathered my things but as I stood up to leave a hand on my shoulder pushed me back down. Whoever it was was very strong. Like seriously this guy could probably lift up a feaking car. I turned around and saw that it was Ash who had his hand on me. Seth was standing behind him.
"We need to have a little talk" he said pulling up a chair.
"O-ok" I stuttered. I knew whatever was about to happen wasn't good.
"I need to know where you found that photo" he stated slamming the photo he took from me on the desk in front of me.
"I already told you" I mumbled while playing with my fingers.
"Don't mumble" I heard Seth say. He was still standing behind Ash and he had his arms crossed.
"No. You lied to me. I need to know where you really got it from. If you don't tell me things are going to get...ugly" Ash told me smirking
"But i'm not lying" I respond. Why does he care so much? Can't he just ask his dad about it if he's so interested in the photo.
"Bro I think she's telling the truth" Seth said to Ash. Ash looked back at Seth and nodded at him.
"Ok then" Ash turned his head back to me "If what you're saying is true then who's the baby in the photo?" I shot my head up to look at him. I knew the answer to this wasn't going to make Ash happy and I really didn't want to make him mad.
"Look at the back of the photo" I said to Ash. He looked at me funny but did as I said anyways. He looked unimpressed
"Who's Thea?"he asked after reading 'Jay, Thea and I' written on the back of the photo. Is it just me or is it getting hot in here. I'm sweating and can feel my heart pumping practically out of my chest. He's about to figure it out. I'm dead
"She is" Seth said.
"Oh shit" Ash laughed "I always just called her a pathetic slut or loser, but I guess 'Thea' works too. Not as fun tho" he chuckled. I furrowed my eyebrows. He seemed to be taking this better than I thought.
"Wait" Ash paused "Why's my dad taking a photo with you and your mum?" he asked, anger rising within him.
I shuffled in my seat. " Because i'm his kid?" I said. My answer seemed more like a question and I was becoming very sacred. He was looking at me like I just murdered a bunch of puppies. Which, to be clear, I would never do.
"If my dad is your dad" Ash was speaking very slowly trying to process what was happening "then that means.." oh my goodness oh my goodness he was about to figure it out. I should run right? This isn't safe.
Seth groaned getting annoyed at how long it was taking Ash.
"She's your fucking sister" he yelled.

what a bombshell, but not really. If you look at the photos of Thea and Ash in the introduction you'll notice they do look kinda similar.
