12.

Try number two. I'm ready for school. I ate breakfast without anything happening. And now I'm in the car with my 2 cousins and the triplets. I just realized I haven't really talked with Maliki. Maybe he just isn't the talkative type. Once we were at the school Mateo and Ren helped me get my schedule, locker,and locker combination. We found my locker, it's right next to one of my familys friends. Asher.

"Hey guys. Who's this chick?"

"This chick is Victoria. Someone I suggest you don't mess with unless you have a death wish."

"She's my sister Ash. She isn't exactly happy with...well like-"

"Everything."

I finish for Soren.

"Ohhh! Yeah, Scout was telling me about you yesterday. Nice to meet you. I'll probably be around the house very often so you'll see me around."

"Ew. I never want to see you again."

I state very boldly.

"You know what, Ren have fun showing your sister around. I was going to you join you and Mat, but I changed my mind."

Asher walked away, I finished getting things put in my locker and keeping the things I need in my backpack.

"Let's go I have A.P English 3."

"English 3?"

"A.P?"

"Yes. Now let's go please."

"Yeah, you aren't going to be in classes with us. We're dumb and we don't do A.P classes. Kai does so you might see him. All A.P classes are down that hallway."

Ren showed me the way and told me to text him if I need anything. The first 3 class was fine, then 4th period came which was my study hall. I went to the library to a quite area to do my homework. I sat at a table by myself and started to do my work with my headphones on. Someone pulled the chair out next to me and sat down. I looked up and saw Maliki. I took my headphones off and looked at him.

"Do you need something?"

"Can I not sit with my sister?"

He had a smirk on his face.

"You haven't made any effort to talk to me this entire time I've been with your family. And it's been over a week now Maliki. What makes right now different?"

I heard snickering behind me. I turned to see a group of boys.

"Really? Really Maliki? And here I thought I'd actually enjoy a day at this hell hole you some how call home."

I stood up and left the group of boys. I looked back and saw they all sat at the table with Maliki. They all were laughing and talking about me in Italian. Fuck this place. Lunch is in 10 minutes, I could dip for a little bit. It wouldn't hurt anyone...Wrong. It hurt me only cause 3 more cuts ended up on my thighs. When I got back to the school I saw Ren and Mateo in the front office with Javan who looks very pissed.

"What do you mean you can't look back at the security cameras? Our sister, is missing. A student of yours, is missing. Do you not even care?"
