i walk into the studio where i see Emily, Stephanie and Riley, me and Emily are exact opposites, she's little miss perfect where as i'm the bad kid in school but they don't know that since i don't go to there in school until today, i'm unfortunately transferring to their school, the only people that know about my behavior is my sisters Amanda and richelle, to be fair i should be able to be the way i am since how bad my home life is. Emily looks at me before meeting my eyes, just as i go to say something Amanda walks in "don't even think about it Michelle!"Amanda says "fine"i say softly "you forgot your jacket"Amanda says putting it on the bench "cheers" i say as she leaves "so your coming to our school are you?" Emily asks "yup" i say as i begin to dance "there is a few things to know about our school"Emily says standing up "oh yeah whats that?"i ask "there a few girls that run that school so be careful!"Riley says. "i'm assuming that your sister is one of them then?"i ask "no in school i'm not like this"Emily says matter of factually. i roll my eyes "i'm sure i'll be fine"i say looking at Riley "okay well be careful anyways"Riley says "thanks Riley"i say softly "your welcome"Riley says grabbing her bag "you coming or your going to be late?"Stephanie asks "yeah i'll be there"i say rolling my eyes at her "what was that for huh?"Emily asks about to get in my face "Emily don't!"richelle says walking in. "what is she really going to do?"Emily asks crossing her arms "just leave her alone Emily!"richelle says grabbing hers and i's bags "come on you can't have a bad start at THIS school"Amanda says and i look at her "what does she mean by that?"Stephanie asks "nothing"i say walking out. i get into my car and we quickly go home so i can get changed into a black crop, with leggings and a black denim jacket. i look at myself in the mirror and i look at my stomach.i hate it. i hate myself. so much. My dad walks in "what are you doing you should be at school"he says before slapping me and i sharply inhale "look dad-"i say but he cuts me off "just go to school you bitch"he says and i grab my bag, Amanda,Richelle leave their rooms at the same time as me and we walk next to each other "he hit you again?"Amanda asks "yeah but it's fine mans"i say as we get into my car. we get into school to see Emily talking with this girl, i look at her she's the girl i hit yesterday for talking shit about me, she spots me and she looks terrified of me as she should be! i begin to walk past and i hear "why are you scared,who is it?"Emily says "nothing don't worry about it"she says "okay?"Emily says "hey Emily"i say putting a smile on and the girl backs up a little bit. " i have to go em"the girl says "toddles"i say pretending to be nice and she runs off "what do you want?"Emily asks "i just thought i would let you know that i have all my classes with you unfortunately"i say and she rolls her eyes. "trust me if i had to choose to be in your classes or Beth's i would choose hers"i say crossing my arms "why she's so irritating"Emily says "yeah but your worse"i say walking off and over to my locker. i open it and i grab my book from it and i start walking to class with Noah and Richelle "you know when you went for Emily earlier?"richelle asks "yeah what about it rich?"i ask "don't slip up like that again especially in here"Richelle says "can't and wont promise anything"i say as we walk into class "ah Michelle there you are you will be sitting next to Emily"Mr Evans says "are f-"before i could finish swearing richelle slaps my hand lightly "fine"i mumble and i sit down and she rolls her once again. "trust me i don't want to sit here either!"i say and she looks at me before opening her book. i open my book and i start writing, i hear a pen begin to scratch against the paper of a book, i turn my head to see Emily trying to get her pen to work "can you like not its actually making me cringe?"i ask "its my only pen"Emily says beginning to get annoyed "here"i say grabbing a pen out of my bag, i pass it to her "thanks"Emily mumbles "welcome"i say before going back to writing, i look at Amanda who's leg is shaking like crazy which means she's about to have a panic attack, i jump up from my seat "Michelle sit down!"Mr Evans says but i ignore him and i kneel down "hey look at me"i say softly and she doesn't look at me so i lift her head up a little bit "she okay?"Mr Evans asks "can i take her outside sir?"i ask and he nods i grab her hand and we walk outside of the classroom. richelle goes to check on Amanda but Mr Evans didn't want to stress Amanda out anymore, "hey hey it's okay what's wrong?"i ask and she just begins to cry as i sit down in front of her i pull her onto my lap and puts her head in to my chest and Emily walks out of the classroom "i thought she might want a drink once she's calmed down"Emily says and i look up at her, "thanks"i say as she slides her hands into her jeans back pockets "look i know we aren't friends but do you need me to call someone like your mum or dad?"Emily asks "NO"i say defensively "o-okay relax god!"Emily says before walking back into class "hey it's going to be okay what's worrying you?"i ask "d-dad"Amanda mumbles "did he hurt YOU?"i ask and she shakes her head and it clicks in my head "is this about this morning?"i ask and she nods "i'm okay mans i promise and i would much rather it be me then you or richelle"i say beginning to wipe her tears, "I'm sorry"Amanda says "what are you sorry for?"i ask looking at her as I wipe her tears "I'm meant to be your OLDER sister I'm meant to protect YOU"Amanda says "hey no don't think like that you do protect me all the time and your aloud to be like this you have anxiety and we have a lot of stuff going on at home so it's normal to react like this!"i say and she stands up before wiping her tears. i feel so bad i hate seeing her like this! a girl walks out of our class, looks at me and Amanda, the girl giggles at Amanda before walking off, i feel myself tense up at the thought of someone making fun of her! i shake it off so i can help Amanda "do you want to go back in or do you want to stay out here for a bit longer?"i ask "ill be fine Mich"Amanda says and we walk into the classroom and Richelle shoots up from her chair and hugs Amanda "i'm okay rich"Amanda whispers and we all sit down again "um class you can go now"Mr Evans says and everyone looks confused. we all stand up and leave, "come on let's go to the cafeteria"piper says but as we walk in there we see a huge crowd,we all look at each other before pushing through the crowd only to see people watching a video.why does that girl look familiar?Omg that's me but what am I doing? NO! Please don't let that be what I think it is! Amanda's pulls me away and she stands in front on me so I can't see it as it gets put up on the big screen i start to cry at the flashbacks from me overdosing "hold up she did this?"i hear one girl ask as she chuckles but Emily walks over to her "stop"Emily says bluntly,i stand up and wipe my tears and i see the girl from earlier "you little- " i cut myself off and i sprint over to her and i knock her over and i begin to punch her HARD. Amanda and Richelle try to pull me off but it doesn't work and i continue to beat her up until five teachers run in and pull me off. I push the teacher off of me as Amanda hugs me before she kisses my head "we are calling your parents"the headteacher says.

Okay well I'm dead GREAT,everyone from the next step looks at the girl as she has help standing up and back at me like I'm crazy but Riley runs over and hugs me.i smile as I rub her back,Riley pulls away from the hug and I see the video again and Richelle goes to unplug it when something keeps flashing so I sprint over and i block Richelle from seeing it as fast as I can "mans"i say and she slams the laptop shut. "your parents are here"the headteacher says and i bow my head knowing i'm going to get the beating of my life when i get home! i start walking out of the Cafetira, i see my parents waiting for me "MICHELLE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!"my dad bellows in my face "i-i don't know"i mutter "lets go we are going home"my dad says grabbing my arm practically dragging me to his car.





2 hours later

i walk into the studio, almost limping from getting beaten up. i walk into the bathroom and i quickly cover up my black eye, i walk out and i walk into studio-A. Stephanie was the first to notice me and my cut lip, she covers her mouth and Emily looks over her shoulder and her jaw drops, Richelle runs over "where?"Richelle asks "don't worry about it rich"i say and they all look at us concerned "don't worry about what?"Emily asks "nothing!"i say before i start dancing "no because now i'm worried!"Emily says "you?worried?nah you just want me off of this team"i say still dancing "Michelle!"Emily says grabbing my hand "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU?WHAT THAT I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER OR That I'M SUICIDAL OR THAT MY PARENTS ARE ABUSIVE?"i shout and i realize what i just said "i'm getting dad"Riley says "since when have they been abusive?"Emily asks "since Richelle was born" Amanda says walking in, me and Richelle both run up to her and hug "it's okay"Amanda mutters but i feel myself break, i begin to cry. Amanda wraps her arms around me as she kisses my head and i sink to the floor, Amanda pulls me into her lap

my mum and dad walk in and i jump up and Noah quickly grabs Richelle, pulling her closer to him i nod at him to thank him "what do we do?"Emily asks "none you do anything no matter what understand!"i ask and they all nod softly "hey mum hey dad"i say "why have we just had the police over our house?"my dad asks "i don't know"i say lying "don't lie"my dad says slapping me and Emily jumps forwards grabbing both my parents attention, i grab Emily by her wrists and i feel hold on to me like her life depends on me "you leave her alone"i say wrapping my arms around her. "you can hit me but not her"i say smoothing Emily's hair in order to calm her down and this other guy walk in and arrests both my dad and my mum but Emily doesn't let go of me.i look down at her and i ask for everyone to leave and they do "Emily you can let go now"i repeat "but what if I don't want too"Emily says making heart beat faster 😩 "what's wrong?"i ask "I'm scared like if they manage to get near what are they going to do next time?"Emily asks "they can't do much worse"i say and she looks up at me "show me!"Emily says and i lift up my top and Emily's jaw drops and she stares at the bruises but I lift up her chin "it's fine Emily"i say softly and she smiles weakly before wiping the tears that were forming in her eyes "what's wrong?"i ask "I'm sorry for being so mean to you for like two years now"Emily says and i smile "it's fine now go home"i say softly and she stands there for a second staring at me in the eyes before leaving. I've know her for a year before transferring into her school and I've never heard her apologize once!
