You know those days when everything seems dull like you wake up in a bad mood but can't seem to put your finger on why that is, yea well today is that day for me and I don't even know why because today is the first day of my fifth year and I should be happy about it right?.

But apparently, the universe seems to hate me I guess because on top of the mood I also find out that the bane of my existence  Fallon Harper has transferred schools and is now in my school now you might be wondering how I know, well guess who's in the same class as her

Me if you hadn't already guessed and where this rivalry started you ask. It all happened in preschool when she stole my markers because she "forgot" hers but she was lying how do I know that you ask well because I had seen her ones with my own two eyes but yknow I understand why she wanted mine hers were plain while mine were the glitter ones but like she could have freaking asked ugh anyways like I said today is just not a good day for me

I hummed to the lyrics of "Iris" as I rounded the corridor and reached my classroom and saw many vacant seats as well as students talking, I felt relief flow over me knowing that "she" the teacher wasn't here yet because I didn't think that I was ready to face her

But my relief died the second I sat on my seat and heard a brief clap and a greeting from none other than Miss Ambers as she walked in with a coffee cup in one hand and a stack of books in the other

Her steps faltered for a second when she spotted me at the first desk but she just shook her head and kept walking like I was nothing more than a student to her

But oh no I was so much more than that

She started teaching her subject which was geography, I yawned already bored with this.

"Is there something you would like to share with the class Madeleine?"

"no not really but I would be delighted if you would so kindly call me Madi not that."

She didn't seem surprised I mean why would she be she knows very well I hate my name.

Just like she knows me

I willed myself to focus on the lecture and not get stuck in my head again

{}>{}>{}>{}>{}>{}>{}>{}>{}>{}

I could still hear their whispers and accusations of how she was killed 2 years later as I walked the hallway, feeling lightheaded and dizzy I nearly tripped over my own feet as I dragged myself to the bathroom stalls

I barely reached the toilet before it all started pouring out of me. my gaze traveled to the toilet

Puke

Its just puke

Not blood

I felt a hand rubbing my back and i didn't need to turn to know that it was Emily

After I finished she handed me a box of tissues without a word, after I calmed my breathing she gave me a bottle of water as she slid down the stall and kept rubbing my back as I drank and drank

After I was done she took my hand and we both silently walked out

"do you want to talk about it" she asked quietly but I just shook my head as we reached the girls' changing room to change for PE

Emily knew everything about me

Even the reason for the puking after all I had broken in front of her

And she knew that I would tell her what I saw which made me puke and I would...but I needed to come to terms with it myself

I heard a squeal and glanced around to find Nina with her head buried in her phone and Leah standing beside her they were some new friends I had made, I made my way over to them "What's all that squealing about" I asked with a low chuckle causing Nina to startle and Leah to look over at me with a thoughtful expression "Nina's 2-year-old cousin took his first step apparently" she said causing Nina to squeal again just as Emily walked over to us" well congrats babe" Emily patted her head like she was a toddler just then the coach walked in to tell us to go out to the running fields as the girls started walking out I quickly changed into my Pe fit which was light pink running shorts and a matching long sleeve top since it was chilly today.

I sat on one of the benches out of breath from all that running and drank from my water bottle as my gaze wandered over the football where the boys were practicing across from us or it wandered over one particular Asian one who was running with the ball trapped between his legs towards the goal, another boy with dirty blonde hair came to steal whom I recognized as dean came to steal it from him but he dodged just in time and ended up scoring the goal as everyone except me oh and Leah erupted in cheers making me frown, as she came to sit beside me "who is he"

"Noah aka their golden boy" I muttered Like what's so good about him I mean sure the Asian features may be a bit attractive or whatever but that doesn't mean he is nice from the inside too he could be a wolf in sheep clothing for freak's sake, just then I saw a familiar figure running over to me across the field, Leah frowned

"Do you need a ride for after school sis ?" my brother said as he reached over to us "If not then I won't be going home directly i- "He stopped short having noticed Leah who was glaring daggers at him he glared right back as she lifted her chin in the air like this was some sort of contest between them.

What was going on

Suddenly she froze as if realizing something " Wait 'sis' you guys are siblings"

Xavier raised an eyebrow" Well obviously Sherlock can't you see the family resemblance"

"All I see is a beauty" she gestured to me "and a beast" then gestured to Xavier

Xavier rolled his eyes " I see you've made some new friends Madi though they could be better"

She scoffed "I'm going back inside madi we have a class after this since some of us actually have to study," she aimed the last part at him as she walked off I wasn't exactly what you would call observant but I couldn't help but notice how his gaze followed her till she reached before he looked over to me "Do you or do you not need a ride to school mads," he asked in a bored tone

I shrugged "I do since Emily is probably going to have an extra art lesson "

He nodded "Then wait by my car for me when the last bell rings" he started walking away making me sigh and head to the girl's locker rooms, I was almost there when a figure brushed past me making me look over at him

Noah

I ignored him and was about to continue walking before a voice called out "You made me miss my goal "

I turned to him " And how is that my fault exactly" All the boys went back inside and he was the only one still playing

He raised an eyebrow "Because you were in my way " he said like it was obvious

"This is the girls' field, Sherlock"

His brow arched further "Your point" I opened my mouth to tell him off but then thought better of it and went inside the locker room because flip him and his opinions, i could care less...right ?
