"WAKE UP!" I hear someone yell into my ear.

"Go away." I groan pulling my pillow over my head. Why do they think that it's okay for them to wake me up at this hour? Actually on that note, what is the time? I think to myself as I lift the corner of the pillow up the tiniest bit. 11:30am Crap, I'm meeting Luke at 11:45! I sit up quickly and as my eyes adjust to the sudden brightness, I look around to see Mal, Ben, Carlos, Jay, Evie, Cala, Jason, Quinn and finally...Luke?

"HAPPY (Sort of) BIRTHDAY" Mal, Cala, Jason and Quinn yell into my face.

"What's going on?" Luke and I say in unison,the others in the room looking just as confused. I then proceed to glare at Luke and he sticks his tongue out at me. I then start to pull faces at him and he pulls a face a me.

"If you two would stop flirting, maybe we could explain!" I hear Cala call out. I roll my eyes and shudder as I think of me and Luke dating.

I look up and see Jason sending daggers at Luke as the blonde moves forward to listen.

"Well, This time 8 years ago, Ash stopped being an orphan on the run and became a part of our family." I hear gasps run through the 'crowd' as no one except Mal, Cala, Jason and Quinn knew. I look around and see Luke looking in pure horror, Evie in disgust, Jay and Carlos in Sympathy and Ben in shock. I look at Cala who blurted it out and I felt my eyes start to water.

"Get Out. All of you" I growled in anger and sadness. When no one moved, I raised a hand exposing a large green flame and threw over their heads leaving a scorch mark on the wall. That made them all run out quickly, Everyone left leaving me alone and then and only then did I let the tears flow down my cheeks as I remember my awful past.

Let me explain.

Many years ago I lived in a beautiful home with my mother and father until my father cheated on my mother. My mother (who wasn't Maleficent, I don't know who my real mum was/is. (Look at description/characters to find out who.)) had quite the temper and murder the poor man and everyday on his birthday I do go down to his grave and talk to him but that's not important right now. Anyway my mother then disappeared after going out to sea on a boat. So then I became an orphan. I spent many years living on the streets without having to steal but then one day I saw my opportunity and I took it and stool a loaf of bread. Ever since that day I would steal until I got caught but that is a story for another time. Anyway, I was then an orphan criminal on the run. Then I met the gang and they took me in and Maleficent took me as one of her own and even gave me a new hair color so I didn't mind having a step-mum who does my hair.

And that brings me to now.

After my little cry, I pass out and then wake up a couple hours later by a knock at the door.

I say between yawns "Come in."

You know who walks in? Luke. Blondie. Irritating kid. Beast. MY NEWLY PRONOUNCED ENEMY.

"What the hell do you want?" I say hidden underneath the big blanket, tears stained on my face.

"To talk" He says softly, I feel him sit on the bed space next to me causing the bed to dip.

"About what?" I whisper thinking that i know what he'll say.

But then he surprises me...

"The assessment. I finished my part.It's your turn but I don't think you want to talk right now so come to my dorm around 4 pm, okay. I won't take no for an answer by the way. Also, I have a birthday gift for you. Hope you like it. I'll leave it hear so you can open it later." He says placing a box down next to me on the table.

I hear him leave the room and I curiously open one eye looking at the wrapped up present. I slowly sitting up and take it in my hands. I remove a small piece of paper and I see that it's a book. Then a bit more reveals a white background with multi-coloured sweets on the cover. I instantly recognize the book and quickly remove the rest of the paper to reveal, as I guessed Binge by Tyler Oakley. I pick up the envelope taped to the book and take out the card.

Happy Birthday Ashlynn.
Hope you don't already have the book.

From, Luke. :D

I grin as wide as the Cheshire Cat and jump out of the bed. I run as hard as I can to catch up with Luke. I then see him talking to Michael and all I can see is Michael's face, for some reason he's pulling an angry/annoyed face as he talks to Luke. I slow down my pace and walk calmly towards the boys. After I lightly poke his shoulder, he turns around with a sour look on his face.

"Yes? What do you want. And make it quick. I can't been seen talking to the likes of you." He says in a rude tone.

"Well I wanted to thank some one for an amazing gift," I motion to Binge which I still have in my arms. Along with the card. I then take the card and set it on fire. "But I can't be seen talking to the likes of you. Or receiving any gifts." I say my eyes slightly watering with the harsh comment that was thrown at me. I shove the book into his arms and then kick him right where he shouldn't be kicked. "Oops. Sorry. Didn't see you there." I scowl and turn around and walk off, not noticing the sad, regretful look in the boys eyes...

1035 words. Wow. I probably could've written more but i decided to keep it to around 1000.

I am so sorry that I haven't posted in like weeks but I am in NZ right now on a holiday but I will be back soon and hopefully in 2016 I will write more often.

Bye Y'all,
Storm xx
