-Melody's POV-
I woke up, thinking, here's another day.Recently I've been dreading the moment I wake up, as I do not know what to anticipate for. I'm afraid that more problems will come into my life.

Everyday at school is the same, but today I get my test results I did 2 months ago. It took ages for the teachers to monitor all of them, as more than 500 students did the test.

I'm so anxious, but I studied so much, and tried my best so I know I'll get a good grade.
I realised 2 months ago my mum, Tessa and Jimin were still here. Wow. Time goes by so fast, everyone forgets to value the present nowadays. I regret taking people for granted, because you expect them to be there all the time. But in reality - they can disappear so quickly.

Dad's been so busy, because mum isn't here and she used to work. He's been going to work at the time I wake up, so Danielle walks to school with her friends. She's 10, so it's okay. She's always in her room, I don't know what she's doing but she doesn't communicate anymore. It feels like my family is falling apart, there's no warmth in our house either. And about Jimin - I want to know what his connection is with Katrina and Layla. But I'm too afraid to ask, and as I said, I don't want to get him involved - If he isn't already.

I noticed I was sitting on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
I quickly shook my head to bring my attention back to getting ready for school . I only had 30 mins to get ready, so I dashed into the bathroom. I got changed and brushed my teeth. What I like about school is my uniform. It's a black skirt, white shirt, red tie and a cream colored jumper.

I ran downstairs after grabbing my bag, and quickly made toast. I still had half the toast in my mouth while I put my shoes on. Before I went out, I shouted to Danielle.
"Danielle, wake up now!! You'll be late if you don't!!" And I left the door.

I managed to arrive to school early enough, I went over to my locker and put in/took out everything I needed to. When I closed my locker, Katrina was leaning against the next locker, with her arms crossed. Her blue eyes glared into mine.

She smirked."So, how was Yougi?"
"Nice" I said coldly.
"Don't try and act all smart around me," she stuck her face near mine.
"You've changed." I frowned at her, as I walked off leaving Katrina unsatisfied. She really loves to tease. She's never been like this, it's like she's holding grudges for me or something. Honestly, I have no idea what I did to her, to turn her into the person she is today.

During the first two lessons, I just day dreamed. It was double maths. I find the work too easy, I don't need the teacher droning on about the work. I find it so annoying. I'm in the top set, but the teacher still feels the need to explain every single thing. God.

At break, I sat on the same bench as I did when Layla was still pretending to be friends with me. I looked at the flowers swaying in the wind, as I got my pencil and sketchbook out. I drew the flowers - seems like they're having a better life than me. I chuckled to myself.

Katrina suddenly walked up to me, and snatched my arm, making me drop my belongings.
"Hey! You can't just grab my arm whenever you want to!" I yelled, pulling back.
"Come with me."
I followed her into the girl's bathroom, where she closed the door.
"You don't get what's happening, right?" She smirked. This girl smirks a lot.
"No, but I suppose this is all part of your plan?" I said harshly.

"Good. Btw, you ruined my life. I never want to be friends with you. Ever." She punched me in the stomach, hard. Then she left, leaving me lying on the floor. I coughed up blood. I'm in trouble. I groaned as I picked myself up. I decided to walk to medical, but I couldn't help limp. A girl from my class, Sally, walked up to me.

"Are you alright?" She put her hand on my shoulder. She's actually quite nice, but is really quiet in class. No one really knows anything about her.
I nodded. But I wasn't ok. I knew I was going to get a big bruise. Since when did Katrins get so strong? I wonder if she's been beating other people up in the past 3 years, I thought.

Sally let me put my arm around her shoulder, and helped me get to medical. There was a nurse, who was sorting out medical equipment. When she saw me, she dragged a chair behind me. I sat down, and Sally did too next to me.
"Oh dear, what happened?" Asked the nurse, as she bent down to examine my stomach.
"A person mistook me for an enemy and punched me in the stomach," I lied. I had to. If Katrina got told off, she would kill me.

"Oh no, do you know who that person was?"
I shook my head.
"I'll just put some cream on the bruise, and I'll put s bandage around it," the nurse said as she went to fetch the cream and bandage.
As she was treating me, she stated: "For about 2 weeks, don't do any rough sports and make sure no one punches you for a while - well, forever would be good."

I can't promise that, I said in my head. I'm sure Katrina will punch me again.

Sally walked with me into the third class, art. She's in my set - Her art pieces are so meaningful and creative. I don't think I should be in the same class as her. I'm not that talented in art - Or that's the way I see myself.

In the lesson, I drew a girl with wispy black hair, and chestnut brown eyes. It's because I wanted to draw something I was unsure about. I love to express my feelings with art.

I didn't know who I was drawing.
Until I really thought about it. I frowned.

What am I unsure about?

Park Yougi.
