~ooooOOOoooo~

"Gracie! What was that?!" I heard mom's panicked voice. It was slightly blurred since she was on the other side of the door.

I had just chucked my alarm clock across the room, breaking it into pieces when it banged hard against a wall and buried my face deeper into the warm pillow.

"Nothing mom!" I doubted she could hear my muffled lie, let alone understand what I just mumbled.

"Grace! Get up already! I can't drive you to school today and you can't skip either. It's your first day back! If you're not down in five minutes, your room will be doorless 'cus I'm gonna break it down!"

Was that a threat? I snorted, she could barely carry her own groceries, is she really threatening to break my door down? Nonetheless, I got up.

She was right about one thing; today is going to be my first day back to Raven Wood College. The school year was already halfway complete for regular students.

I had been living with dad for three years. Mom was pretty upset that dad got his way and was controlling my life, but when I told her it was my decision to leave, she reluctantly let me go.

While I was away, I attended a different school. Not much had happened, I didn't try to make friends or anything.

But I realised something. It was easier to live with an upset Hanna than it was without her around at all. At least while I was in R.W. College, I knew what was happening to her or what she was up to.

I couldn't stand not knowing how she was, or what she was doing, or who she's with.

So I told dad that I've had enough of running away, I wanted to return back to where I belong, or at least, once did. He let me, but only on one condition.

So here I am, getting dressed to go back to the place where I had been driven from by being told to 'just go'.

Anxiousness clawed at my mind. What if I wasn't accepted back?

What if everyone hated me? Will they tell me to get lost or something?

I sighed. There was no backing out now. No matter how awful things got, I was determined to stay. This is my home, the one I share with mom, and Raven Wood College was the school that I belonged in.

When I entered through the front gates of the school, a nostalgic feeling coursed through me. I strolled around first, reminiscing of the moments I had as a ninth grader roaming around the familiar corridors.
