Elena's pov

Getting to go at Miranda's for a sleep over is great, I get to escape everything. I get to forget everything. Whenever dad comes back home, there is always a fight between him and mom. The fight leads to them actually fighting letting alone my mom ends up with broken bones. Kyle decided to come and stay at home only to stop these fights between our parents but that doesn't end well. At least mom doesn't end up with broken bones anymore. Sleepovers at Miranda are great, I get to it without Kyle taking my food and running away with it but yesterday's sleepover, let's say it was sponsored by yours truly, Dylan. Miranda would go on and on and on about how hot he is. I won't deny it, the guy is pretty good looking.

"Snap out of it" Miranda yelled. I didn't even notice if we were sitting on our table having lunch. I must say, the day went fast.

"So, will you tell us what's going on in that head of yours?" Jason asked me. 'oh I was just thinking about how great it is to be away from home. With no one screaming or hearing your mom's painful cries' I really wanted to tell my friends what has been going on at home but I don't want the mto feel sorry for me and the best way to hide everything is to only smile. As wide as you can.

"ohhh, Is it Dylan?" Miranda had to ask. I mean really Miranda, since when do I, Elena, think about Fuck boys. "or are you thinking about his body?" Miranda continued.

"Who is thinking about my body?" Miranda you are so busted. I literally start laughing out loud. I have the weirdest laugh. More like hyperventilating instead of laughing. This is why I love going away from home. Everything else just doesn't matter.

"Oh! Sorry Dylan. Didn't see you there!, Come sit with us." Miranda nearly punched me as I welcomed Dylan over to our table.

"Am really sorry about that" Miranda tried to apologize.

"No, it's okay. I can't blame you if you think am hot" Dylan actually said that. FUCK BOY ALERT. I repeat FUCK BOY ALERT. These are the the type of guys that are in our school. It's not easy to find a decent guy nowadays. Okay, So he is one of them, you know the boastful ones. I rolled my eyes, letting Miranda choke and Jason laughing at Miranda choking. I excused myself and headed to my locker. This is where I can actually think.

I opened my locker and took out my history book and my notepad. I have this thing where whenever I feel chocked up or just tired. I settle down and write all that emotion down but change it into a poem. It's kind of like my only escape. My notepad is where all my misery is written down and saved for no one but me to read.

I take my notepad out and start writing down something, anything that might come out of me at this point.

'The love I felt from miles away

although it hurts but I'll still stay

it's all that I got

I won't run away

The feelings I kept with open up one day'

I sniff a bit as I closed my notepad and took my phone. I texted kyle and told him to pick me up after school. I headed back to class and waited for the teacher and everyone else. My mood was suddenly down.

Dylan's pov

Having to come back here, at this town, was sort of hard. I had no friends except girls throwing themselves at me. According to my mother, we left here when I was six, I don't remember anything about this place but after joining this school, I have a shot of having friends, or just being the popular kid but only if I get close to Elena and date her. They said was the hardest girl on school to get. I agreed, I don't back down from a challenge. I never do.
