I spent the rest of the day avoiding the harsh glares of the "popular group" and just doing my best to not draw attention to myself. Blend in. Become invisible, which, fortunately for me I was very skilled at.

Harry, unsurprisingly completely avoided me for the rest of the day, trying to avoid eye contact.

This was how they all started out, but quickly they realise, not to bother. I wasnt worth the trouble.

I got home from school a couple of hours later and headed straight for my bedroom. I threw myself on the bed and just lay there.

A couple of minutes later, Susan knocked on my door. "Lucy" she began excitedly "you have a visitor!"

My heart leapt. Was it Harry? I jumped off the bed and walked over to the door.

I opened it to find a girl about my age. My heart dropped. She was familiar, I'd seen her recently, but where?

"my name is Charlotte." she smiled. "I'm in your class"

Of course! She was very pretty. She had blue eyes and long, curly blond hair.

She was definitely a contrast to me, with my big hazel eyes and masses of shiny light brown hair. I don't mean to sound boastful but, I'm fairly pretty. Boys always take an interest in me, before they realise, I'm that foster child.

I invited her in and Susan went down to get cookies. We sat on my bed, and there was a long. Awkward. Silence....

"your probably wondering why I'm here," she began "I'm here to be someone you can come to at school, to be a friend. The school assigned me as your official study budy." she smiled at me.

But..... I thought Harry said he was? Obviously not......

She seemed like a nice girl and we began chatting. We spoke about everything, hobbies, our favourite things, all about ourselves really. I had never clicked with someone this fast before!

After about 2 hours of chatting, she left to go home.

And I was left alone with my thoughts. Why would he do that? I didn't really get it but, really when have I ever understood boys?

I went to bed early, I needed to be alert the next day. In my experience, the second day is nearly as bad as the first.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Days and weeks passed and things got worse and worse. I was shoved into lockers, called a 'freak' and things much worse, I wouldn't even dream of thinking. I was told to 'just kill myself and stop being a burden on people' so many times, every day....... Well...... I began to believe it.

What worth was I to anyone anyway? That one friend I had at the start? Just some popular girl who was instructed to get the dirt. Harry? Well he's been ignoring me ever since the first day.

Susan? She didn't love me. She didn't care about me at all. She was PAID to look after me after all.

So in the end, there was no one. I was back to being the invisible girl. The no one.

My daily routine consisted of getting up, school, homework, dinner, bed.

I could feel myself sinking into the cold darkness called depression and no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I couldnt. It was inevitable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was after school on some Tuesday evening and I was on my way home.

I had my earphones in my ears, the sound of ellie goulding's voice flooding into my ears. I had the music up loud, almost full volume, and I couldn't hear anything around me.

I walking walking along, when I bumped into somebody. "sorry!" I apologised and looked up to see who it was.

It was a big group of boys from my class. And they didn't look too happy either.

"we've been waiting for you Lucy." one of them snarled. I looked around the group, to find it was all the popular boys, and one Very uncomfortable looking Harry styles.

The began walking towards

me, and I began to panic. I looked around to find nobody was around. Not a soul. "just my luck" I thought to myself as the grew ever closer.

I kept walking backwards in an effor to maximise the distance between us when my back hit a wall. My heart sunk. I had no where to go!

I took a deep breathe as they closed in on me. One of them stepped forward.

"think it's time to teach her a lesson? We don't like freaks in this school do we?" a sound of agreement spread around the group.

Before I knew what was happening, a fist smashed into my nose. I yelped with pain, god it was excruciating! I felt something cold splash my hands.

I looked down in confusion to see my hands covered in my blood.I raised my hand to nurse my bleeding nose. Blood gushed out and I began to feel light headed. I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes.

Another fist pounded into my stomach and I let out a loan groan. You'd think I'd be use to it by now....... I slid down the wall, one hand clutching my bleeding nose, the other resting on my stomach. An ambush of kicks were me from all angles. When they had enough, the ran off, leaving me lying there in the cold; bloody and bruised and stripped of my faith in other people.
