Highschool? A dream to some while a nightmare to others but to me its just four years maybe. Actually not so simple four years with my light brown eyes, messy hair with some strokes of red and a feirce personality. I was never the one to dissolve into crowds and stay away from the spotlight instead I attracted attention most of the time unwanted attention.

"Hey Ember, what is the topic?" I immediately break away from my inner rant and stare at my bestfriend who sports a black jeans and a white top that I gifted her last year on her Birthday.

"Huh? What topic?" I ask her with confusion laced in my voice.

"Oh Ember the new topic you decided to think about and God knows where do you travel to while thinking".

"Oh, nothing the usual, come on let's go Julian" is my only reply until the bell rings indicated the start of our day. Julian has been with me through my thick and thin's and she is the only one who knows me sometimes more than me.

If you guys want to know what I have been doing since the past hour then I would say the usual, not paying attention to Maths and doodling on the back of my notebook.

"Ms. Ember Scarlet have you ever heard of the word pretending?" I looked up terror flashing through my eyes due to the teacher standing right in front of me with a bald head and a belly that might explode anytime.

"Umm yes sir" I reply to him not before noticing how his eyes turn into slits.

" Good, so atleast pretend to study would you?" I have a sudden urge to laugh but I nod and he reverts back to behind his desk. Honestly, I am a good student but math? Oh it kills me.

Unlike other schools where food tastes like uh nevermind but here our canteen serves delicious food and I wait for half of my day to end so that I can eat this heavenly food and that by the way is right infront of me right now. I dig into my plate but a sharp sound disturbs me and I look up to meet the gaze of another bestfriend of mine who is everything but serious in her life.

"Em, you know what?" she is always rushing with news here and there so I give her a really bored look " Ugh no I dont and also I dont plan on knowing it so shutup and let me eat" she being Ava doesnt even pause rather she says something that my fork freezes in the air and I am stunned.

"Your icy opposite might be back"
