" Thea please stop crying it's almost over.

Skylar's POV

That voice that I got used to by the years from my nightmares started to faint as the sound of my alarm started to echo the room.

The familiar sound of my phone took me by surprise making me fall off my bed.I was already in pain from all the running I did yesterday and another bruise was exactly what I needed.

As I finished taking a shower I started preparing for another suckish day at highschool as always.

I'm a senior in Paradise highschool that is far from paradise so note the irony ,anyways after straightening my hair and putting on some of my favourite mascara and lipgloss ,I head downstairs for breakfast.

I live with my dad actually I'm adopted by him at least that's what he told me.

It's like I started living at the age of six where my father found me wandering on the streets by myself, I don't remember anything from before that .Never have I ever bothered to look into my story or why I can't remember anything , the most important thing for me now is that I'm happy... Right?

I head straight to my locker preparing for first period - Math. It's not that I hate it but Mr.Crawford is such a pain.

He gives out a lot of homework and expects us to know about his surprise tests and study for them...isn't that just lovely?

The bell rang meaning hell is just about to begin but something was certainly off today.All the students are very chattery and gossiping around.Did something happen?

As I passed by a group of the soccer's team ,I overheard one of them saying that there's going to be a new exchange student attending our school and that people say he's far from good news. Arrests ,vandalism ,bullying ...wow this guy must really be something.

I made my way to class and sat at the desk at the very end of the class where I sat alone and could zone out at anytime I wanted, without anyone noticing.

I'm not the popular kind as you may have noticed but I sometimes choose not to make any friends because I prefer staying alone.

I intend to not be part of any unwanted drama it is not that hard to be the School's hot news as I call it .

All types of kids have experienced being the new topic at school.. you know rumors travel quite quickly in the school's grounds.

I might feel slightly sorry for them but I would more likely feel relieved as to not me being the one talked about behind my back.

As I keep rambling to myself ,the sound of our class door brings me back to planet earth.

That's when the new guy came boasting in the room.

How could I have known that the guy standing in front of my eyes would be the one saving me from my fears?

Hey guys.... Well you're probably not reading this at the moment so I'll just get to the point.
