 It was two year's tomorrow when it all began. I remember the first thing he called me what hurt me still to this day. I remember the pain mainly because I go through the same pain five days a week but it got easier to hold in. Jess knows I’m getting good at holding it in, she just needs to remind me once a day normally at end of school in the toilet while she cleaning the blood of me after she picked me up and had her normal say.

Today was different.   Jess and I were in the toilets talking about the normal thing and doing the normal stuff. I swear she invented Daz stain remover, she was washing my shirt under the sink when she just popped out with something what totally shocked me.  “When are you going to tell your parents its Ross beating you up every day and that’s why you’re late back every day.” I just huffed and shuddered my shoulders, she never come out with that before it was weird, like she kind of felt sorry for my parents with me keeping a big secret like this away from them. Jess looked at me again and totally took my breath away with what she said this time. “Come on hun they’re your parents, they loves you as much as I do. You need to stop thinking this is normal and good.”  I looked at her face and it was series but I knew she was right, I just keep pushing the true away. I burst out crying and she put my shirt under the dryer then come to hug me. I love her hugs they make me feel good but this time it did not work i cried and cried. When I was done I wiped my eyes and looking at her said, “You always know what I’m thinking but its to painful to say it out loud.”  “I know babe, I know it hard really hard.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning was different too it was darker out side and the air was thin and it felt like the darkness was coming to kill all good in the world. As I stood there waiting for Jess on the end of the drive I looked across the road and saw Ross come out off his house. He was still half asleep when he looked at me with his tried eyes, hair comb back, still looking fit but in stead of a evil glair he looked normal like he did two years ago. He gave me a wave and a smile not evil but good it was like he was back. I smile back and waved then he noticed my black eye he did yesterday and his smile slowly turned from a happy to a sad thrown and put his head down like he felt ashamed of what he did.  Jess pulled up and I got in the car still smiling she looked at me and said, “Well well well that’s a different smile, that’s not fake, that’s real spill that beans.” I told her what happened and my smile got bigger but she looked puzzled at the end of my tale she said, “Mmm let’s see what today brings hun see if your theory's true.” I just agreed with her hoping Ross will prove her wrong.

We got to school and parked in the same spot as we did and walked the same walk while we joked to class. We sat in same positions we normally sit and I whispered to Jess “Here we go same insult and same voices 1......2......3......4.......5......” but nothing happened. I looked puzzled at her, she looked puzzled at me, I look behind us and saw Ross and his normal friends but he just smiled and nodded and I smiled back. Jess looked at me and mouthed,  “What the fuck”. I just smile and look back to my desk. The morning got better and better Miss Bell was ill so we had a substitute who didn’t know were we were with studying our GCSE so we just watched a film. When the next lesson came the teacher was in a good mood so we had a break from maths and watched another film. The break was good, no shouting crude words, no pushing or shouting or tripping just a normal day. The sun was out and it was warm very warm so Jess and I decided to sunbath on the grass out side the tech building. The next lesson went smoothly it was PE and I waited with Jess so it was this time off day I had to stick up my self but I didn’t have to I went in to the change rooms expecting name calling and been pushed in to toilet to get change but it was different I got changed with the rest. This one guy he was new and I had never seen him before. He keep staring at me while I was getting changed and I found it weird and scary. I just thought nothing about it as the lesson began and it went good. We played dodge ball and I was good at dodge ball they could never hit me. The teacher blew her whistle at the end of the game and time to get changed. In was now lunch time and I normally meet Jess in front of the canteen.
