My name is Mia Bella Hayes. I'm seventeen years old. I thought my life was perfect, here in Australia. I had a family, my mom and dad and two older brothers. My father a lawyer and my mother a dentist. They were my lifeline and my happiness and gave me everything I could ever ask for. I had started school in kindergarten at four, but it didn't go too well for me. I would get picked on and teased but I never hung on to grudges.

I left school in year one. It started to become too much. I was homeschooled for the rest of my schooling years. It was great and it meant I had freedom. I was happy with it. But for me to get into university, I had to sit some exams. Which meant that I had to actually attend school for years 11 and 12 and learn the curriculum. Once I started school, I didn't see how trapped I was in that house.

So tomorrow is my first day in high school.

I didn't know what to expect.

Anyway.

As I said, I have two older brothers. Ryan is 21, he's a university student who's studying construction management. Ethan is 18 and he's in year 12.

I didn't know how to make friends or how to talk to people. When I registered for school, they were a bit hesitant to accept me, but with a few words from my own homeschooler, they accepted me straight away. I was ecstatic but nervous, I didn't want a repetition of my elementary year. Those were the years I cried to my mum to not take me to school. Some days class would be okay, because I'd bring in items from my mums rose quartz stone collection. When I realised they liked the stuff, my mum gave me her whole collection of items (which she stopped collecting) and allowed me to take it to school as long as I wouldn't brag about my items. If there's one thing my mom hates (and she doesn't hate anything or anyone), it's bragging. All thanks to her own personal experiences.

But when I realised my collection started to bore them, I looked for other things that I could interest them with. But I couldn't entertain them forever. Once I stopped bringing stuff from home, the teasing continued until I left school for once and for all.

Well not for all as we can conclude.

My mother's collection was beautiful, it even had a photo album of the rose quartz stones she had taken herself. She had all sorts of things in there, stones, rings, necklaces, bracelets, notepads, a book of birthstone meanings and even some untouched makeup. Her favourite items were the two perfect heart shaped rose quartz stones, one translucent and one opaque. Both exactly the same shape. She told me that a fortune teller once had suggested her to collect these stones as they would give her family immense luck, happiness and love. And wealth was something that passed down from our family tree so she wasn't worried or interested in wealth. All she wanted was to have a peaceful happy family. She said the moment she touched one rose quartz stone, she felt a great weight lift off her shoulders. Ever since that day, she started buying them wherever she saw them.

She made me wear a crystal rose quartz stone necklace to school everyday, to give me good luck. It didn't work as well as it worked for her though. I still wear it to this day, it fits me perfectly now.

Before high school, I've never had a boyfriend. I never kissed anyone, I had no intimacy with anyone. I wasn't even sure about my sexual orientation. I had never experimented with anything and was new to the whole world of dating when I started school. My brothers, of course, were the exact opposite of me. Ryan and Ethan had dated lots of girls. They'd come home telling me about the things that happened at school, the fights they'd get friendships they'd ended or ruined, and all the girls they've dated. I'm sure Ethan and Ryan lost their virginity long ago, but I've still got mine.

My dad wanted my brothers to study law so they could take over the firm my grandfather left my dad when he died. But of course, they had other plans and wanted a different path other than law. Ryan wanted to be a construction manager and Ethan wants to be a world famous soccer player.

Both my brothers are chick magnets. Ryan was the basketball team captain and Ethan is the soccer team vice captain. The girls already love their titles, but the body that comes with being sports fanatics was a bonus for them. They're both well over 180 centimetres tall. Ryan might even be 200.

Like I said, I thought my life was perfect, that is until I met a boy with emerald green eyes and a dimpled smile with a past which haunted his sleep. A part of him that broke him with every mention of her. His past that made my brothers hate him. His past that corrupted me. His past that made me shudder every time I think about it. Because of his past, my brothers tell me that I have to stay away from him. I had to stay away from him.

But I really can't help it.

Only did I know what happiness and perfection was when I met him. I became attached to him. He became the most important part of my life, he was nothing like his past and that was all that mattered to me. I loved him for everything he was. For the things my brothers were too blind to see. Him and I were the perfect mixture of heaven and hell.

But for him and I to exist, we had to stay hidden.
