I walked through the noisy hall trying to process what this stupid letter was telling me when suddenly I felt a shoulder brush against mine. I turned back to catch the scared gaze of a freshman and gave him a glare.

'Lar! You shouldn't be so mean' A random girl cooed.

I shot her a cold glance before my eyes finally met a relevant sight and I fastened my pace as I approached the figure, 'Hey Angel'.

Avril rolled her eyes at the nickname which I was pretty much always using but gave me a grin, 'You got the letter too?'.

I nodded before gesturing for her to walk with me, 'What's it all about anyway?'.

'Camping trip with coach is being arranged' Avril summarised.

I snorted then caught a glimse of a browny-purple colour behind her fringe, 'What's that?'.

She crinkled her eyebrows just as the bell rang, 'What's what?'.

I slowly touched a finger against the forming bruise as she winced then took a step back, 'It's nothing!'.

I raised my eyebrows, 'It looks like something'.

She shook her head, 'Don't worry it's not important, come on we're gonna be late for art'.

I scanned the corridor and realised it was pretty much empty then smirked and took a step towards her. Instinctively she gulped and backed into a wall.

'Angel. Tell me'.

She stubbornly shook her head, 'No'.

'Avril. Do you thing someone who see's that bruise on your face won't ask questions?'.

'No. I hoped they wouldn't. I told you I wanted time to tell you the truth '.

I ran a hand through my hair in frustration then intently stared into her eyes, 'If the truth involves bruises I think I need to know straight away!'.

He sighed in confusion as I felt his warm breath and gulped.

What was I meant to say?

'I thought we had that whole scene which made us closer?' Larry asked softly.

I let my eyes wander to the floor for a few seconds then gave a dramatic sigh, 'If I tell you...you have to promise not to get angry or do anything stupid'.

Goofball smiled triumphantly then took my hand and began walking.

I pulled my hand back in confusion, 'What are you doing?'.

'Going somewhere private Angel'.

I stared in shock as she finally stopped talking and a huge tear dropped onto her lap.

'It's all my fault, Angel...I'm so sorry. If I knew my presence would screw things up with your parents I wouldn't have got involved!'.

Why is her dad such a strict douche?

'It's not. I just didn't realise Dad had a bad side like that. Besides if anyone saw us yesterday in the music room it could have easily looked the other way round'.
