You're upstairs putting your make up on to cover the bruises on your neck and no they were not hickeys. Your mum started calling you downstairs for breakfast.
"Mum you know she never eats breakfast," Josie replied to Hayley.
Your best friend Caroline walks through the door downstairs, she never knocks. Liz Forbes and my nana Carol Lockwood have always been friends so me and Caroline were brought up together since we were the same age.
"It's alright Mrs Lockwood I'll make her eat more at lunch." Caroline reassures my mum before she runs upstairs to my room.
"Caroline, what are you doing here? I told you that Matt is taking me to school today. You can just take Josie." You push past her and rush downstairs to try and get outside before Matt arrives. Caroline follows you dumbfounded and offers a lift to Josie. Even though Josie has her own car, she accepts. She's always had a small crush of Caroline.
Matt honks his car horn and you immediately run outside to his car and you apologise to him whilst getting into the passenger seat. "I thought you were supposed to be waiting for me outside. What the fuck happened? Why were you late?" He sternly says while angrily staring at you.
"I'm sorry I was just putting make-up on."
"Well good because you fucking need it." He chuckled.
"I was just covering the bruise you gave me yesterday," you whispered to yourself, so that he didn't hear. But by his next comment, you're pretty sure he did.
"Well if you're late again I'll give you another one, got it?" You fall silent as to not antagonise him more and he drives you to school.
When you get out he tries to hold your hand but you pull away from him. "What the fuck?" He snatches your wrist back and grips it tight.
"Get off," you snatch your wrist back from his tight grip and walk to a more public place, as a sense of protection. He walks into a different direction and you feel a weight lifted off your chest. You know you should leave him but it has been the two of you from the beginning; you wouldn't even know how to begin and you would not like to find out how it ends either.
You walk into the school corridor just wanting to get through the day like you do any other day.
"BOO!" Caroline scares you by putting two hands on your shoulders from behind and laughs when you jump and you can't help but smile too. "Hey, so we are definitely going out to a bar tonight." She says with a huge grin on her face. You don't know why though. It's not worth it when neither of you is 21, or have a fake ID and her mum is the sheriff.
"Caroline we can't drink anyway and plus I have to go to Matt's house tonight." You shake your head at her and she meets my negativity with a huge smile still.
"Nope I'm gonna tell Matt that you're all mine tonight," she links your arm and starts to walk down the corridor. "And plus we can have cola it's fine, but I want to hookup and you're gonna help me." You scoff and reply with a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah the virgin best friend is the perfect person to ask for help on this, totally," you change your tone to more serious. "Caroline i have no idea what to do, sorry." You laugh a little.

You and Josie get back home from school. "Mum. We're back!" Josie calls out in the house. Your mum comes through to the living room and tells Josie that she needs to pick up the car from the repair shop. Josie replies with an attitude like she always does. "Alright but then I'm going to a friend's house for a sleepover." You pipe up and tell your mum that you are going to the bar with Caroline and you grab your house keys. Your mum just simply replies.
