Lily
Names Lily. Lily Diaz. I'm 15 yrs old. I go to riverbank high. Me and my dad just moved here. Little did I know, my whole world would soon change. For the better too.

I have black hair with a bit of purple highlights in. I have baby blue eyes. I'm about 5ft. I walk into school. Everyone looks at me, causing me to blush. I look for the classroom 226. 'hey, are you lost?' a girl asks. I nod. 'look, dont be shy. Everyone here is nice' the girl says. She introduces herself as Caitlin Red. She has black eyes and red hair. We sit down at the back of the class. 'who's that?' i ask as a tall guy with blonde hair walks in. 'that is Tom Black. He's built differently' she explains. I nod. 'noted' He sits down. As we wait, another boy walks in. 'now he' she smiles 'is good to get close to. Hudson Jones' she says. Average height, ginger, green eyes. 'he's cute' i say. 'he seems nice' she smiles.

My phone pings off. I look. Dad
Be home early. No funny business like before.
What a shock he doesnt trust me. Another text. This time I look and see..Amelia.
You might be in a different country, but I still know your little secret and can make your life hell.
'Cait, I'll be right back' I tremble and run before she can ask any questions. I run up to the roof and start crying. 'hey. Lily, right?' someone asks. Tom. I nod. 'whats wrong?' he asks, sitting on the bench next to me. I show him the text. 'whos Amelia?' he asks. 'this girl at my old School. She bullied me for 3 years. She learnt my biggest secret and she said if i told on her she'd spill. I had to pretend everything was fine. Then mom left us. Because of me. Its all my fault and everything just got worse after that' i cry again. 'look at me. Lily, look at me. Its not your fault' he says as I look at him. He wipes away my tears. He texts someone. 5 minutes later Caitlin walks onto the roof. 'I got your text Tom. Whats going on?' she asks. He looks at me. I'm just silent. 'dont make me tell her. Please' I say to him. 'ok. Fine' he says.
Tom
She doesnt know that I know her. I dont want her knowing. Not just yet, anyway. 'I'm here if you need someone' i tell her, hugging her. I turn to Caitlin. 'anything happens to her, tell me. I dont care when or where, I will come  and be by her side' I tell Caitlin. She nods. I'm about to go as Lily stands up but falls back down. 'Lily! Are you okay?' we both shout at the same time. 'im fine' she says. We help her up. I see a tear roll down Lily's face and wipe it away.

Later that night
Lily
'LILY! MAKE ME DINNER!' dad shouts. I run down and make him steak and chips. He chucks the plate on the floor. 'can't you do anything right?' he shouts. 'no wonder your mom left us with you as a daughter' he snaps. He slaps me across the face. I run up to my room, lock the door and cry. Suddenly I get a text. Amelia again.
Youre pathetic and worthless. Why dont you go rot in a hole
I jump out the window. I run through the street and I run into Tom. Like, literally run into him. 'Lils?' he asks. I hug him. 'help me. Please' I cry. 'come on. Lets go to the park' he says. When we get to the park we sit on a bench. 'tom?' i ask. 'yeah?' he asks back. 'why am i so worthless?' i ask. 'you're not' he hugs me. 'I am' I say, breathing steadily. 'Lilith Diaz you are not worthless' he stares me in the eyes. I gasp at the effect that look has on me.

A few months later
'Everyone, we have a new student joining us today. This is Amelia Blackwell. Come all the way from America, Tennesee' Mr Black says. It cant be Amelia. It just cant be. I look up. It is. Its her. I glance at Caitlin, panicking. 'missed me, tramp?' she smirks. I gulp in fear. 'that her?' Caitlin asks. I nod.

'so, Lily. Do your friends know your little secret?' she smirks. She's got me on my own. 'amelia, leave me alone' i whisper. 'you tell anyone about what happened back home, I'll spill. I can and I WILL make your life a living hell. Not like it already isnt anyway' she laughs. 'leave her alone' a voice says. 'tom! Leave it. I-its fine' I stutter. 'I'm going anyway. Youre both losers. Remember what I said, Diaz' she snarls. 'are you ok?' he asks. I nod. 'I'm fine' i smile weakly.
