I was dreading today,it would just be me and him in seclusion and I still haven't forgiven him for his sick joke...i lay there staring at my ceiling wishing time would stop and I wouldn't have to go today or maybe I could turn invisible (both impossible I Know). My planning was interrupted by and unexpected knock and my brothers voice, "Em come on your going to be late you should have left by now" I could hear him giggling like a school girl meaning I had become another victim of his annoying pranks. Looking over at my clock I realised it wasn't moving "Mason! what time is it and what have you done to my clock? "
he peaked his head only slightly adding to my evergrowing Suspicion
"well... its 8:29 and I don't know what has happened to your clock" he could bearly get the last bit out due to laughter,but that didn't matter
"Half 8.l,im going to be late and its not funny so now you give me a lift to school" I said leaping out of bed rushing around to get ready but thankfully because I'm in seclusion I can wear anything so I went with a black dress and plain black ballet pumps and it was quite hot even though this was England.

By the time I arrived at school I was bearly on time I had to run to seclusion...i ran out of time so I had to attempt to do my hair in the car but I managed a half decent pony tail. I burst in to find Ben and the deputy head staring at me feeling my face flush I quickly sat at the back away from Ben and not giving eye contact, hopefully he understood that I was still upset after last night and wouldn't talk to me but of course... I was wrong when the deputy head wasn't looking he sneakily manuvered his way over to the seat next to mine "Hey" he whispered whilst pretending to do the assigned work.
I carried on staring out of the window ignoring all if his constant attemps of talking to me. seeming to get the message he stopped,sighing I felt curiosity burn in me forcing me to steal a glance at him he was trying to concentrate but I saw something else in his eyes... hurt, there were dark circles under his eyes suggesting he didn't get much sleep,why was he hurt he should be guilty (maybe he is) because of what he did but why was it me that felt guilty it was like our ropes had reversed.

At break and now dinner he had stayed away and I couldnt keep it from Lottie or Chris any longer why he was
"he did what?!" Lottie and Chris both stared out. me dumbfoundedly. "You have that 'thing' with hights" Lottie whispered so only us three could hear "does he know?" I sighed she didnt just ask me if I told a guy i had just met something i hadn't told anyone (well apart from Lottie and Chris but they were around when It happened) "Lottie, of course she didn't, but Em you can't really be mad at him as he didn't know and probably thought of it as a joke,i know he is a pain but he is actually a great guy trust me I've grown up with him" I was shocked that is probably one of the most smartest things I've ever heard him say."Your right, your right... I feel terrible he looks hurt but I don't get why" they both stared at me like I was a alien and both started laughing and decided to start dragging me to seclusion where Ben was eating because of me.

But before I was about to enter I was suddenly being pulled by a unknown force, after what felt like ages we stopped turning around I met the gaze of someone i would have never expected Draco he was in some of my classes we used to be good friends until he asked me out a few months ago so he drifted away from me, but here he was he had changed since I last saw him his ginger hair was a lot darken almost brown even his freckles had faded as his skin was a lot more tanned a lot can happen I'm a few months i guess confused i opened my mouth to speak but he stopped me "look there is something you should know that I'm guessing Ben hasn't told you, look don't say anything Just listen to what I have to say as I was one of the few witnesses of what happened before the fight" he stared at me and I nodded signaling him to continue "OK so Chloe and he boyfriend were talking and laughing and suddenly the conversation changed and they started saying stuff about you" i stared at him trying to Will him with my eyes to tell me what they said as I promised, picking up on this he sighed and messed with his hair before continuing "they said stuff like how much of a freak you were,how hideous you were and how you were going to die alone with 108 cats" he stopped letting it sink in, they were probably right and it hurt to know she would say that about me, i felt tears making there way up but i fought against them... I wasnt going to cry over Chloe and Andrew that is what she wanted. I looked at Draco sensing the remorse he felt and I waited for him to continue "then there was around bang as Ben had slammed his locker closed and was charging at Andrew and started throwing punches at him he was so fast Andrew could only get one hit but Mrs Lakes came and she went mentally at them and Andrew had to be taken to hospital that is how bad it was...i thought you should know the truth and anyway i got to go don't tell anyone i told you please" he looked worried but when I thanked him and hugged him before running of to Ben he seemed convinced. Why am i such an idiot? I knew something had happened and know i was being a huge jerk towards him for something he didn't even know about i need to find him and appologize right away.
Everything around me was a blur the only thing i could focus on was the ever growing guilt. I raced to seclusion and not just because the bell was about to ring... he was in there.
As I entered i looked over at my seat to see that the seat next to it was empty looking around I noticed a blur of black hair and recognised him straight away he was now seated as far away from my seat as you could get i was overwhelmed with another wave if guilt i was drowning in it now,i walked over to heat before thinking about what I was doing I hugged him,feeling his body tense up from the unexpected contact i tightened my grip and he loosed up realising it was me then he wrapped his arms around my waist and squeezed me back it was a sweet moment as we didn't have to say a word and we understood each other i felt like i could stay like this forever until... BANG! The deptudy head stood there staring at us and I returned to my seat whilst keeping my eyes locked with Ben's the whole time, I smiled before returning to my work and he gave me that really annoying half-smirk before doing the same. I decided i was going to catch up to him after school and appologize.
