*************************************

       So here I am sitting in lunch detention getting yelled at by the principal for fighting. I barely hit the guy. Plus, he is sitting right next to me still acting like the whole world is on his shoulders. So he cant be that hurt. And now I have to deal with Daisy when I get out of here. I groan.

         Daisy is a class A bitch when someone stands her up. Just fucking great. Before I can zone out completely the new guy speaks up.

"Technically, I did antagonize her. She told me I was sitting in her spot and I decided to be a complete ass. Granted, if I had known she could kick said ass I wouldn't have said a damn thing, but you know. You live you learn." the kid said.

          Maybe he ain't so bad after all. Then he has to go and open his mouth.

"Plus, I was going easy on her. Cant hit a girl, ya know." jackass of the week says.

"Wanna say that again pretty boy; because I am pretty sure you just said you wanted another black eye to match." I said cracking my knuckles.

"Just speaking the truth. If I really wanted to fight you I wouldn't have lost." he says after laughing.

       I lunge at the arrogant asshat, but am stopped by a pair of arms. I look over my shoulder to see Mick.

"Damn it, Ash. I told you stay out of trouble from now on. I don't have time to be running down to the school to sort out your problems. I also told you to take me off as your emergency contact." he says.

"I did. I even took you off as a contact at all. I don't know why they called you. You can leave." I say getting out of his arms and walking away from him.

"Then how the hell did they get my number?" he asks.

"I gave it to them. I cant believe you told her that Mick. You know that she doesn't have a grown-up to come and help her out, but you just abandoned her when she trusted you. That is it Mick I am telling Jena." Daisy says turning on her heel.

       The new kid looks at me and I just shrug at him. It is better to not try and understand Daisy. I gave up awhile ago. He just nods and goes back to playing flappy bird on his phone. My eyes light up.

"I love that game!" I yell out loud on accident.

      Everyone turned to me with a weird look on their face and I just kept looking at the new guys phone. I really got to learn his name. I think to myself. He holds out the phone to me and I quickly grab it.

"Hey I never did ask. What is your name?" I ask.

"Jay. I know your name is Ash so is there anything I need to know about you?" he asks back.

     I just shake my head at him. Really no one knows anything about me. I mean they know I'm covered in tattoos, but that is just because the school gym clothes are really skimpy. I keep my focus on flappy bird. He scoots over to me and watches me beat his high score. I laugh and him back his phone. He just looks at the score and back to me a couple times. I admit it is a pretty high score but nothing close to mine. I'm actually disappointed in the score. I pout a little and pull out my sketch book. I see Jay look over at the cover of the sketch book in the corner of my eye, and I pull him closer.

"I don't show many people this so consider yourself lucky." I say with a smile.

       Jay doesn't answer he just pays close attention. My smile gets bigger and flip the cover over. The first page is a drawing of the tattoo on my back. I absolutely love that tattoo. It is really the only one anyone hasn't seen. Well, those and the ones on my ribs.

      I look over at him from the corner of my eye and I see that he is actually taking in the view of my artwork. Not just glancing at it, but looking at the work I put into a piece with this much color. I flip to the next page and I frown a little at this drawing. It is a picture of a flower alone in the middle of a dead field. I guess I drew this to represent how I felt at the time. Dead while trying to stay alive. I shake my head and flip to the next page.

      This is one of my favorites. It is of one of the only of me and Tilda together that came out good. I continue to flip through it and at some point time must have passed because the lunch bell finally rang. I closed the book and grabbed my bag, but before I got to make my escape home Jay grabbed my arm.

"I really liked the drawings and I would like to get to know you." he says and I cant help but laugh at him.

"I'm sorry for laughing, really, but no. I don't do relationships of any kind. My life is complicated enough. Thanks though for offering it really speaks highly of your value. I'll tell you what though. You can have three questions. You can ask me these anytime and I promise to answer." I say feeling a little soft to the brooding male.

     I walk out leaving Jay there, but sadly I am starting to regret that decision. I quickly turn around hoping that the bubblegum queen wouldn't see me. But as I said my luck decided to take a permanent fucking vacation.

"Hey, freak. I didn't see you at lunch. What were you doing? Screwing someone in the janitors closet?" the lollypop bitch asks.

"Awe, you were looking for me. If I didn't know any better I would think you cared, but then I remember that your the bubblegum bitch. What do you want Kylie? I really am not in the mood to deal with you right now. Can we skip the fucking name calling and insults today. Here is a fucking grand idea. Why don't we just leave each other the hell alone. I stay the fuck away from you and you stay the fuck away from. Then maybe I wont wake up in the morning thinking what the fuck it going to be on my damn locker today." I say walking away leaving her speechless.

"You would just love that wouldn't you, Ash. You would be able to sleep at night knowing that you finally got the last person out of your way. You know what I'll leave you alone when you recant your damn false accusations about my father." Kylie yells.

    I stop walking. She did not just go there. She did not just fucking say that in front of the entire damn school. Oh she is lucky I am on probation already or her fucking skull would be caved in already. I continue my walk out of the school with my middle finger up. Not giving a flying fuck anymore and trying to talk myself into dropping out.

       I got into my car quickly and drove out of there faster than the speed limit allows. I pulled into Tilda's school and sat in the car fighting off a panic attack.

Calm down, Ash. He cant get to you. He is in jail. He isn't ever getting out. The bubblegum bitch is just looking for somebody to blame for her father being a closet monster.

    I finally get myself calmed down and I look up to Tilda's school. I get out and walk in. To get the only happiness I have left in this fucked up world. To my only reason for taking another breath in this damned world.

"Hi. I'm here to pick up Tilda Maxincroft. She has a doctors appointment in a good thirty minutes." I say to the bouncy receptionist.

"What is your relationship to Tilda?"

"I'm here sister. I'm on her forms. I swear I am not here to kidnap her and she will be back tomorrow." I say putting a hand on my hear.

         I'm not waiting long when I hear little footsteps pounding on the concrete floors. I pull the door open and catch her before she can crash into a wall.

"Ash!" Tilda yells and I smile the smile that is for her and her alone.
