"Mum, why are we moving again?" I groaned sulkily as she drove me to school. She's not my actual Mum, she's my foster Mum. I'm not an orphan or anything, it's just a car accident happened when I was about five, and I've been in care ever since. I don't really want to talk about it though.

"I've told you, I've got a new job and it's easier if I live in the area, now, you're going to Greenwood High, I've spoken to Emma and she says Cayden and Leah both go there, I shouldn't be too worried, it's about time they know who you are," she finished and I sank into the chair, putting my hood on over my cap. I'm wearing a cap because it looks cool and my hair needs washing but I cant be bothered to shower. Disgusting, I know.

"But, what about Leah?" I ask quietly.

"What about her, she's your sister. You know her more than anyone. As for Cayden, I'm sure he misses you, just go and see what happens and don't get into any fights," she warned me.

I groaned again. This is going to be so much fun.

Not.

I said bye as we got to school and I jumped out of the car. This was the wrong day to wear all black. I walk in head down. What? I don't want to be an arrogant jerk who wants everyone to like him, I don't want to be here. I just want this day over and done with.

"Cayden stop," I heard a giggle and a small scream from the other side of the corridor in the corner. I couldn't help but look up, I saw my sister trying to push Cay into the wall, but failing. Her friends around her laughed and occasionally I saw every other group stare at them with jealousy.  

I walk straight past them, catching eyes with Cay, and to say he looked shocked was an understatement. Thank god he hasn't forgotten about me. I don't know what I'd do if he had as well.

"Who's that?" Some girl next to Leah asked, as for Leah, she looked confused. Maybe there's hope for sure.

"I'm going to the toilet," Cay said as I carried on walking down. Every now and then I got stares but I really couldn't care less. I'm more interested in getting this day over and done with.

"Yo, Chase," I heard heavy footsteps behind me and I turned around. I haven't seen Cay or Lea in like ten years and neither of them have changed. I smiled,

"Hey bro," I replied, trying to sound joyful. Cay noticed it straight away though. We are basically brothers. We grew up just like Leah and Cay did. We were all so close.

"What are you doing here," he said as we just hugged. I told him half of the story as the bell went off for first lesson.

"Oi, where's m4?" I asked, before he went off to lessons. I am not, I repeat not, getting a map. He showed me roughly the way and went off to Leah and a few guys who were walking the other direction.

This, is going to be a very, long day.

"You, how dare you!" The whole class was laughing at Kristen, I was trying my best not to laugh, I'd just get into more trouble.

"Oh I did," I smirked, folded my arms in a stance, before high diving my friend Elliot, who was pissing himself laughing.

"You're going to regret ever being born." She snarled. I stepped closer. She just crossed the fucking line.

"Oh sweetie, I think that'll be you," I said, politely and punched her in the jaw. How anyone can stand that girl I have no idea. The whole class laughed.

"Now, there was no need for that, was there?" Mr Francis said to me, looking at Kristen, who's clutching her jaw, trying not to cry. Bless.

"Someone had to fix her face, I thought it was broken, but it seems, that's just the way she looks," I said, again, politely. Most of the class were in tears by now. To say I've made a good impression. I'm impressed myself. So much for keeping my head down.

"Detention, room 26"

(A/N, I'm going to skip to the last sentence Chase said in the previous chapter, yes I am that lazy, feel free to refresh your memory and look back,
Al out ;) )

I think we got away with that, just about. But, she looks so determined to find out who I am. I wonder how long it takes her.

"What's your next lesson?" Cay asked. I know what he's doing. He's trying to make her forget that I just slipped in she's family. As much as I don't want her to, he's right. She doesn't need me right now.

"English, e7" I said, sighing.

"Hey, that's where we have English, we can show you the way!" Lea said, happily. I've never realised how much I've missed her. How much I've missed having a sister.

"Yeah sure, thanks," I replied, and we started walking, continuing my train of thought.

I've needed someone to be there for me, all these years. I got texts from Cay for about a few years after what happened, when we were all allowed phones. But after a while he stopped texting. I felt alone, unwanted. I'd lost my brother as well as my sister. That's how I got in shit at school, I was known as 'oh that's chase, don't talk to him, he's out of it,' or shit like that. It was horrible. They all thought I was dealing drugs, that I smoked, that I was a pure 'bad boy' just because of how much shit I got in at school.

None of it was true, of course. I acted it out like it was, but nope. Never done any of the shit those people rumoured about me.

"Right, is everyone present?" Mr Swift asked, he stated to do the register. I'm not paying attention to that shit. I sat down at the back, away from Lea and Cay and their gang. Oh yeah. I've heard all about that from Elliot.

My little sister, she's in a gang, for Christ sake. What happened for her to be stupid enough to think that's a good idea​? As her big brother I need to fucking tell her off, but, I can't. I don't want her to remember me.

"Chase James?" I looked up. Shit, how smart it Lea?

"Here," I grumbled. I looked over to where she was sitting, next to Cay. She wasn't paying attention, but as she finished her conversation I noticed her looking over in my direction, like she just realised what Mr Swift just said.

"Leah James," she continued looking at me for a few seconds, then replied,

"Here Sir," Mr Swift smiled in realisation. Shit. Please don't say what I think he's going to say.

"Oh, look at that, you can show your brother around the school,"

Ok, he said it. Shit.
