"Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive."
- Leah LaBelle***
Why was she everywhere where I was? She was like a bomb who could explode anytime and anywhere. "Miss clumsy."She took her foot right in front of me and I fell to the ground. This means war.
Everyone begun to laugh. I felt that my face became red from the embarrassment. I heard that Alba giggled and that someone took a picture with its phone. I wanted to run outside this horrible classroom but I didn't. I just stood up and went to my table.
I sat down beside a girl with blue eyes and brown hair with light blond stripes. She had also glasses. "Hi."
"Hi." She muttered while reading a book. The girl didn't seem like she wanted to talk with me. Why?
"Luna Jones." I presented myself but she still had her nose in the book. After a few minutes she raised her head and opened her name "The name is Violeta Alvarez." She finally looked at me. "You're the new girl?" I nodded.
"I saw you yesterday." She said. "You know where you danced to Mercy. It was really beautiful."
"I'm glad that someone thinks that my dance was good." A smile showed on my face.
"You know what, I thought you were going to be a bitch like Alba, but I really like you." I guess that was compliment from her words.
"Thank you."

After the first lesson we had a short break. Together with Violeta we went to one of the seven libraries in the school. We were actually very similar. She also didn't like Alba and she also danced, but she danced hip-hop.
"So you to this school since you were seven years old and your parents don't know that you're chose dancing classes?" I asked.
"Yes you're correct. If my parents knew that I danced they would've killed me. I have also economy classes, you know to cover the dancing." She made a devilish smile. "I also sing but I don't know if I really want to do it."
"You sing?" My eyes widened. "You know Yuki Fukumoto?" She nodded. "She needs one more singer to a school choir, you should join us."
"I don't know maybe, Yuki and I were friends once, but then something happened between the two of us." Violeta had tears in her eyes.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I can't talk about it." That was weird. Why couldn't she talk about it? Was she also friends with Daniel? I felt that there was so many secrets hided by my new friends.
"I'm sorry Luna, it's private things and I don't like to talk about it." She smiled. "Come second period will start soon and we need to be in auditorium, principal has something she would like to talk about." We stood up from and the couch and went to the auditorium.
Principal went on the stage. She took in her hands a microphone and begun to talk. "Students of Hengiton Academy. Welcome to this new fantastic school year. But for some people it isn't so fantastic as it could be. Last year a fantastic student, friend, brother, best-friends and boyfriend got to know that he has lung cancer. Today he can't be here with us, he needs to be in hospital to get ready for a surgery. Without him halls of our schools will be not so loud as they were. But we can't think about worst what can happen to him, we must think positive about him. Dear students please pray for Matthew Hill."
I looked at Violeta she cried. I think that they were near. Then I saw Yuki running out of the auditorium. I stood up and run behind her. She went inside the bathroom and I of course went behind her. She stared at the mirror while she cried. I hugged her "Shh calm down Yuki." I really didn't what happened but she needed someone that cared about her.
"He can die, I don't want him to die. He always smiled he can loose his beautiful smile because of a freaking cancer!" She shouted and begun to breathe faster. "I knew that he had this cancer, and I didn't tell nobody, because he said it. He even didn't tell his parents. I am killing him." She had tears falling down like small waterfalls.
"No you're not, you wanted to help him." I said. "You can't blame yourself for he being sick."
"I know, but maybe if I told someone about it, it would be better today than it is." She said staring at the mirror. "He has a beautiful singing voice, you know what he also loves ballet, if he were here today you two would dance together. You would maybe be a couple."
"He was your best friend?" I asked.
"Since I was child. He always had my back and I always had his." She said.

I was with Yuki whole day. She needed someone she could talk about it. She needed to open herself to the world. It was the only thing that could help her. We were sitting in a social room then Violeta came to us.
"Yuki?" She said with a weak voice. Yuki glared at her, her hand turned into small fists. It looked like she was going to attack her but she didn't. "I'm sorry for what happened three years ago, I was so stupid. I didn't care about your feelings. I was so selfish." Yuki was staring at her, her hands were normal. She was calm.
"Violeta." She said and stood up from her chair. "I was so stupid." Yuki hugged Violeta. "Will you forgive me?"
"Better question, will you forgive me?" Violeta asked.
"Of course I'll Viola. We're friends." They hugged again.
