I woke up to the screaming of my damn alarm clock for the first time in quite awhile lord I didn't miss that sound a bit.Unlike a normal teenager I didn't go on my phone when I first woke up I actually got up.I hopped into the shower because my body was aching of pain from what my father had done yesterday and with that I let my troubles drift down to the drain and disappear from my mind.I had a new life,even a new chance and I wasn't about to be negative about that.I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body because I figured that I wasn't going to be the only one up.I unlocked the door and headed to my room to see Daniel standing in his doorway staring at me,instead of dismissing it I questioned him.

"Well well I see your up and don't act sly I saw that stare."

"Well I mean if your a lot to stare at that's not my problem now is it."

I didn't know what he meant by that but I shrugged it off and went to my room to pick out some clothes,it was going to be my first day at school with my new life and I wasn't about to make a bad impression.I picked out a black tank top,a floral kimono,and some studded ripped shorts (image at the top).It was perfect.I straightened my hair quickly before realizing I needed to hurry up or I'd be late for school.I grabbed my backpack and found supplies inside it ready to go,my new parents were really too nice to me.I slung it over my shoulder and hurried downstairs to find everyone waiting for me downstairs.

"I'm so sorry that I'm here late I just didn't realize what time it-"

They began to speak over me before I could even finish,"Bethany it's okay.Happy first day of school,let's go to the car before were late to your school."

Daniel let out a cough and when no one realized what he was trying to say he finally spoke up,"Don't you think her outfits a little too revealing?"

My "father" spoke,"No she's a teenager Daniel she can wear whatever she wants."

We all headed to the car where I sat in the back of their car with Daniel in the back as well.We approached the school and instantly I felt dreadful,this wasn't my same school and that's when I realized that the move to my new families house must have changed my school district.Well I was screwed seeming on how I didn't have an friends.I raced around all the people outside talking to their friends,I just couldn't see this it was too painful.I had to move away from everyone I know to an entire different school which sucked then I started to think that maybe I should have dealt with the abuse so I could be with my friends right now.As sudden as that thought entered my mind a hand grabbed my wrist and my heart dropped,it couldn't be him could it?I turned around slowly to see a all too familiar face,thank god it was Daniel.I let out my breath and finally spoke.

"God you scared me..I thought...I thought you were my dad."As I said that I slowly let my head down,I was stupid.I was in a new environment,had no one to turn to,and I was still fearful of my father.

"Beth what's wrong?You seem like your about to burst out crying."

"I'm in a new place,I have no idea where my classes are,I have no friends here,I'm scared for my life,and it's a lot to adjust to in a day."

"I can show you were to go,you'll make friends Beth I promise,your in good hands and you have no need to worry,and you'll get used to it eventually but if you ever need help I'm here.Okay?"

"Okay."

I followed him to every place he showed me but my mind was just somewhere else so I still had no clue where I was going.I quickly thanked him and went to find my first bell class,I had English first bell which was okay I guess but I still didn't pay attention.The day went by at a normal speed and before I could process anything it was lunch.I headed to my locker to put my books away but on my way I found two morons with a big coke bottle and some kind of mint,and to my luck it was a mento.You know soda and mentos don't work well together so the whole hallway was full of soda that had exploded.

I went to confront them because not only did the hall get wet but I got wet too,"What the hell were you thinking?"

One of the boys stepped closer to me and spoke,"You don't want to know what I was thinking sweetheart."

"Get a-away from me."

"Baby doll we haven't even started yet"That's when my ass felt a hand being placed on it.I wasn't comfortable because this felt like my dad trying to rape me again.

A stern almost growling voice said,"If I were you I'd get your hand off her ass and back away before anything happens."

I looked to my right to see Daniel with a death glare on his face looking at the boy.

The boy who's name I didn't know spoke,"And why would that be?Is she your girlfriend?Or just another one of your fuck buddies?"

Daniels voice for even deeper,"No she's like a sister so yet again get the fuck away from her and don't hit on her ever again."

Then the boy who's name I really needed to know at this point and his friend walked away.I was almost in tears,in the middle of the hallway at school,with no friends,and that boy was hitting on me.That's when I broke down crying but I refused to let anyone see me like this so I ran down to an empty hall that was in the back of the school to hide but Daniel followed me.I gave up on running and just slide to the ground balling my eyes out where no one but Daniel could see me.

He kneeled down to me then in a calm voice said,"Beth please talk to me,what's wrong because I swear if he did this to you I'll beat his ass."

"I-I felt like he was my father and when he started touching me I couldn't help but feel like he was trying to rape me like my father did.I-I know it's stupid but I just I-I don't know."

"Beth it's not stupid,let's just get you home okay?"

"But won't your mom and dad be mad that I didn't go to school the entire day?"

"Beth when I tell them what happened they won't care that you skipped school,they just want you to be okay and you aren't okay so we're going home."

I couldn't help but have butterflies in my stomach,I swear if I was starting to like Daniel I would hate myself later for this.Our eyes locked and our noses touched as our faces grew closer together but then we heard a loud cough and as we looked up we saw a teacher staring at us.Fuck we were caught.

"Come on Beth,I know your knee hurts but we have to get up and this time no slipping."The teacher looked at us and suspected that there was something up so I started fake limping but he eventually just left as if he was uninterested.

"Let's get home.",Daniel said as if that almost kiss was nothing at all.
