God we had two weeks before we graduated, the time here really has flown by us, what with me dating Yas and Tom...well failing to get Hanna to see reason. Hanna is probably the one, besides me, who is suffering the most. I could tell Tom had started to develop feelings for her, trouble is, Hanna is extremely stubborn and personally, he has got virtually no chance; in ever dating her.

Perhaps when we graduate, perhaps that will be his time...

*~*~*~*~*

Sat in lesson, I realised with concern that Hanna was not here. I met Tom's look and he shrugged, seemingly not to care either way, when in truth I saw the worry and love laying just beneath surface for her. I really hoped nothing had happened to her, all through maths, I paid more attention to the door than the teacher. Like a robot I began to walk to science, my next class of the day. Yas was walking next to me, slipping her hand in mine, she gently squeezed. She mumbled "Hanna will be here, don't worry, she can't be far away."

Tom said from my other side "Yas it's not like her to miss lessons, she actually enjoys learning."

We fell into silence, without Kylie here; it seemed to get so much darker so much quicker. We went into class, and took our usual seats, Yas slipping into the seat that was Kylie's. If it were anyone else - I would have flipped - but knowing that Kylie had once loved her made it easier. Miss Shrew glanced round the class, a frown adorned her face as she asked "Has anyone seen Hanna?"

People began muttering and whispering, I heard them mention Tom and kiss and affair and that was about it. Yas shift in the seat next to me, causing me and Tom to glance at her, she was staring stonily at the board. It was as if she had been wiped clean of all her emotions.

Hanna

Today was another day of school, the joys. Don't get me wrong, I love lessons, most of the time. It's the other people I can't stand. As I touched up my eyeliner and eye shadow I heard my parents arguing downstairs. My eyes stared right back at me, as I looked into my mirror. Glancing down at my wrists I realised I needed gloves, since I had a relatively fresh cut...I know you're judging me right now but it's my only escape.

Anyway, as always my curiosity got the better of me, and I crept downstairs and hovered outside the lounge. Where my whole life came to a head, where I truly realised I had no parents anymore.

"John how are we meant to raise our only child when she clearly cuts!" mum screamed from behind the door.

My dad said soothingly "Carol calm down, otherwise Hanna will hear. She's our blood Carol, she's our child. We can't outcast her for being different for being...bisexual."

I felt my stomach plummet as I heard how he hesitated, I had hoped they'd not find out, clearly they were more tuned into my life than I realised. I knew then that they would never treat me the same...ever.

"John," my mum moaned, "she likes girls and boys that is just strange and confusing but I can accept that...with time. I just don't think I can ever look at her the same if she was with another girl. And honey she cuts, the whole 'period' thing was a total lie. What did we ever do, to deserve this from our child! We raised her proper, she played with girls and knew she was only friends with them, and that boys were for dating. So how..."

My dad mumbled "It'll be ok. She's our daughter; please don't make any rash choices Carol. Deep down, you love her."

"Do I?"

I held back a sob, as I continued to listen, looking at my phone I saw it was 10:15 and they will have just finished maths. My mum sighed "I can't do this. My family hate lesbians, gays and the whole lot. I can't raise her in this house knowing, my family won't look at me the same."
