Another Reason [Daniel Skye]

*still part of flashback*

"What should I sing" I mumble.
"Anything" Cameron yells out. I whine and stand straight. The first song that come to my head is a song I once heard Johnny listen to in his room. I really liked it so I like memorised the words and stuff.

"I've never looked at you the way
I did tonight and now your face,
Your lips, your eyes, you're stuck inside my head
The thought of me and you together
I wish it'd last forever
Why am I here and not with you instead?

I, I don't want to mess this up
But you are all I'm thinking of

Maybe I should stay, maybe I should go,
Maybe I should just leave this alone
And if this isn't right, I'm OK with being wrong
Cause I don't want to miss you when you're gone

We could be perfect or just a disaster
We could be in love and never fight
We could be sad or happy ever after
It could be us instead of you and I
Maybe we should try

Standing here outside your door
Is this what you've been waiting for
Or will you even let me come inside
I've come up with a lame excuse
I'm hoping I don't have to use
And here it goes I'll only knock one time

I, I don't want mess this up
But you are all I'm thinking of

Maybe I should stay, maybe I should go,
Maybe I should just leave this alone
And if this isn't right, I'm OK with being wrong
Cause I don't want to miss you when you're gone

We could be perfect or just a disaster
We could be in love and never fight
We could be sad or happy ever after
It could be us instead of you and I
Maybe we should try
Ooh, ooh, woah
Maybe we should try
Ooh, ooh, oooh

I've never looked at you the way
I did tonight and now your face
Your lips, your eyes, you're stuck inside my head

Maybe I should stay, Maybe I should go
Maybe I should just leave this alone
And if this isn't right, I'm OK with being wrong
'Cause I don't wanna miss you when you're gone

We could be perfect or just a disaster
We could be in love and never fight
We could be sad or happy ever after
It could be us instead of you and I
Maybe we should try
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Maybe we should try
Ooh
Cause it could be us instead of you and I
Maybe we should try"

Before anyone can say anything Daniel speaks over the clapping.
"Where did you hear that song?!" He asks.
"I heard Johnny play it in his room once and I really liked it" I sit down. Daniel looks at his shoes blushing a little.
"Why?" I ask him.
"That's my song" he smiles. I freeze. Oh my god.
"Oh. Ugh. I'm- I'm sorry" I say I look off to the side.

"No it was really good" he says. I look up and he is giving me his cute smile. Wait. What?! No! I could never like him. Not after what he did. Never. Ew. What is wrong with you Katie?! I smile at him.

*end of flashback*

Our last class, I have humanities. Ugh. I grab my books and start walking to my room when I hear someone walk up behind me.
"Hey Ugly" I hear Georgia say. I continue walking.
"Oi!" She grabs my hair. "I was talking to you!" She says in my face.
"I'm... sorry...." I mumble.
"Why don't you just go die? Nobody likes you here. You were just a mistake!" She pulls on my hair harder making me lean back in pain.

"Bye! Won't miss you!" She say in my face then she pushes me. I hit the wall and she continues walking. Then one of her friends walks up to me and takes my books and runs off. I follow her in a slow walk knowing I'll never get them back anyway.
"Go to class Katie. Go to class" she smiles and drops all my books in deep mud. She walks off laughing to meet Georgia who was watching the whole time.

I lean over the mud puddle to try and reach in and grab my books but then I feel someone push me. I land in the mud and sit there for a while while Georgia and her friends walk off laughing. I grab my books and stand up. I walk behind the nearest tree and sit down. I'm not going to class. I try to wipe as much mud off me as possible then I just cry. Why can't someone just love me? Why can't I just go die. It would make everyone happy.

Then I get an idea. Did I mention, there is one part of our school that is 4 story's high? Well there is. I grab my books and start walking that way. This should be fun. I get to the bottom of the building and put my books down. I start to climb the ladder that window cleaners use.

Halfway up my foot slips but i still hold onto the railings. I take a deep breath then swing my foot back on and continue climbing the ladder. The mud is almost all gone now apart from my hair pretty much. I finally get to the top of the ladder and I drag myself onto the roof. Man that was a workout. The roof is sloped and boring. Probably can't hold up to 7 people at a time. I walk to the edge and sit down so my legs dangle over 4 stories.

Then I hear a voice.
"KATIE!" I look down to see 3 boys. Daniel, Shawn and Hayes. Oh no. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I hear a voice yell. I can't figure out who it is though. I look over the edge. Come on Katie. Just jump.
