SAMANTHA'S P.O.V

I sprint along the platform and leap onto the train just as the doors close I bend down panting as I begin to think that this morning routine will be the death of me. I catch my breath and look around the train for a seat I see a nice window seat I go and sit down and then put my earbuds in and turn my music up I look out the window as the train begins to move. I am on the train for two stops and then I get a tap on my shoulder I turn to see Mell smiling at me she sits next to me and points to her eras asking me to take my earplugs out.

"Morning" Mells said.

"I thought you had a car so why don't you drive to school?" I asked.

"I only drive if I oversleep so I know I'm gonna be late," Mell said.

"Guess that makes sense," I said.

"What you listening to?" Mell asked.

"Calvin Harris well one song by him in particular," I said.

"Oh ya, which one?" Mell asked.

"Drinking From The Bottle," I said.

"Hum not a bad song," Mell said.

We sit and talk on the train for another 45 minutes before it is our stop we get up and leave the train we leave the station where we see Jenny and Logan walking along the main road towards us.

"Hey guys," Mell said as she pulled me along to catch up with them.

"Yo" Logan said as he turned and slowed down so we could match speed.

"Wow cool hoodie Samantha very fashionable," Jenny said as she looked at me.

"Oh crap, I hadn't even noticed ya very nice," Mell said.

"By the way Mell message from Jackson," Logan said handing Mell a folded piece of paper.

"Well well, he may possess a brain in that glass dome of his after all" Mell said as she read the paper.

"You got the go-ahead?" Logan said.

"I got the go-ahead cover for me in English?" Mell said to Jenny in a slite begging way hands together and one eye closed.

"FIne but you owe me one for this" Jenny said.

"Thanks, I'll have to catch up with you guys later," Mell said as she ran on ahead.

"Hey, so Samantha can I call you Sam for short?" Jenny asked putting her arm around my shoulders.

"I don't see why not," I said as she smiled.

"Well then, in that case, Sam how would you like to go to a party this weekend?" Jenny said with a glint in her eyes.

"Who's party is it?" I asked.

"Well Jackson is the one that decided to have the party but he can't plan to save his life so in a way it is Mell's party," Logan said.

"I'll have to check with my legal gardenias but I should be able to go," I said.

"Legal gardenias?" Logan said confused.

"Ya I'm in foster care," I said.

"Oh shit I'm sorry," Logan said.

"No, it's cool my real parents aren't dead they are just deemed not fit to be parents I'm not sure why I never found out," I said.

"So you have never met your parents?" Logan said.

"Not exactly I see them every now and then I'm allowed supervised visits so I get to talk to them but I don't really know them I mean from what I was told they seem to have got their act together but I'm not convinced," I said.

"Well that sounds nice," Logan said as we made it to the school and Hanna was there waiting for me no doubt.

"So she passed I see," Hanna said with a growl.

"I see you can get pissed over just about anything," Jenny said.

"Got something to say," Hanna said.

"Just that people like you who see the world is such a black and white view have no place mouthing off to others as all they see is their view they have a dogmatic idea that all others should behave by their personal moral code, in short, the pure dictators unfit for positions in power," Jenny said which seemed to stun Hanna.

We all took the chance to walk past her my first class is a double period of P.E. I never really liked sport but I guess I'll have to make an effort new school new me.

"Alright girls today we are going to be doing some volleyball and as always the school volleyball team is looking for some new players," said the teacher.

We are split into teams of three for the drills up first was receiving I was decent at that receiving 15 out of the 20 balls that were sent my way as I watched the others I saw that three girls, in particular, were looking at me a lot. The second was serving we were shown how to serve at first and then we were told to practise at first I couldn't get my hand to connect with the ball but after 5 failed attempts I hit the ball it sawed through the air and laned just within the court outline.

"Very nice Samantha," said the teacher and I smiled in thanks.

The next was blocking all we had to do as far as I could see was stop the ball from getting through our arms for this the teacher showed us the right way to hold our hands and arms the other team was going to do some spikes to try and get through us. I was put in the middle of the three of us the ball went up the spiker jumped as did we they hit the ball and it slammed into my forearm and rebounded into the ground on the side of the one hitting it. We did this about three times each time rotating the block and each time it hit my arms but I did not let it get through I kept my arms firmly in place and then we were up to attack. I was the last to do so I throw the ball to the teacher she set the ball up and I jumped with perfect form and then as I got to my top height my arm was above the blocker's arms I hit the ball and goes over the fingers of the blockers and hits the floor with a thud. After I landed the whole class cheered and clapped I smiled and went back to my seat as they cheered me on later in the changing rooms after before I was able to button up my shirt I got a tap on my shoulder it was one of the three girls from earlier.

"Hey, we are the school's top three volleyball players for the girls and well we want you to join the team," One of them said.

"Really you want me?" I said.

"You have unbelievable talent so think about it," Another said as they left.
