Jordan:

I take a seat, cracking my stiff bones as I move. I shuffle in my seat, getting out my books and going straight to work, ignoring anyone and everyone around me. When It is time to get up and go, I stretch  for a whole minute, my sleeve sliding up my arm. When I realise, I slide it down quickly, hoping no one saw, but Natalia has a look on her face suggesting otherwise. She says nothing, and I cannot be sure.

All through Maths, I cannot focus, my thoughts clouded with worries, memories and past pain. When the bell finally chimes, I make my way to the empty class I sit in some lunch breaks. No one knows I go here yet, so I can get a bit of peace here. My head is really starting to hurt now, the world almost spinning. I walk towards the nearest seat, get half way there and collapse.

The world goes blank.
