I mainly like the shadows because it kept me in the comfort that my bullies wouldn't see me. They taunt me and hex me. Telling me I'm worthless. Telling me I'm a freak. I don't see the point of me joining this club. Nothing will happen. I guess I needed a way to get hope from a non-existent speck. So, here I am.

Sure! I have contemplated suicide, but I personally think that it would be better to live for something than to die for nothing. 

But here I am, Tuesday afternoon, staying up later than ever, scanning my mind for a song that makes me feel power. Nothing! Nothing at all. Sarah did say that we would do this word for a few weeks, but I had nothing. I groaned as I rubbed my temples, a bad habit that I did when I was stressed. 

"Hey." A voice behind me sounded. I quickly looked behind me, fearing that it was one of my tormentors. Instead, it was Logan. 

"H-Hey." I said while pushing my Coco colored hair behind my ears, embarrassed. Logan and I became friends, or at least aquantances, during yesterdays first glee meeting. 

"Hard topic hmm?" He asked while sitting down next to me. 

"I-I guess." I said softly, my shyness taking over me. I could tell he was worried about me so I quickly changed the subject. "I was thinking of doing 'fight song'." I said quickly, ignoring my sudden erge to cry. 

"Really?" Logan asked while smiling.

"D-Do you think that it's a bad choice?" I asked, my small hope fading.

"No! It's a great choice! I just wish that I was like you." He said, his dark chocolate hair covering his eyes.

"Why?" I asked quietly.

"Because you're brave." He said. I felt my breath catch in my throat as his hand reached out to hold mine. I quickly stood up and Logan looked at me.

"I-I need to go. I'm tired. Good night Logan." Before he could answer me, I ran up the stairs to my dorm and cried for the first time since I came here.

It was the next morning and during breakfast, I hear Sarah's voice in my head. 

"We're going to be meeting every Monday, Wensday, and Saturday. Today, meet at free time." 

My eyes widened as I quickly looked up at Logan. He nodded quickly before looking back down at the book he was reading. Today I had my hair in a low pony tail and I wore my robes, as usual. I quickly ate eggs and bread before snagging an apple and running to my first class.

"Hey freak!" Lucius said from behind me. He was in year seven, and oh how he loved to see me in pain. I gulped as I embraced for pain.

"Crucio! Crucio! Stupify! Silencio!" I felt my mouth seal as pain flooded through my body. It was torture not being able to scream, so I did the next best thing, I cried. 

"She's crying!" Beatrice cackled from behind Lucius. Finally, after a few minutes, Lucius stopped and walked away, not before unsilencing me. I felt sobs rack my body as I pressed my hand to my forehead. I soon wiped away the tears and stood up shakily. I re-fixed myself and headed to glee.

" Like a small boat

On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosionAnd all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

I could feel the hot tears streaming down my face so I closed my eyes and sang as powerfully as I could.

"Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believeAnd all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meA lot of fight left in meLike a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosionThis is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in meKnow I've still got a lot of fight left in me."

I ended crying and I opened my eyes to see the glee club looking worridily at me. I wiped away my tears as I took my seat next to Logan. Sarah went back up. 

"Thank you Grace. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds your voice inspiring." I gave her a weak smile before looking down, I could feel the stares of everyone and I saw Logan glare at every who did stare at me. I giggled lightly and looked at him while shaking my head.

It was only the first day and I began to feel the hope blossom in my heart again.
