I grabbed the books and walked into Mrs. Mason's math class. I at in my usual seat, right at the back of the class in the corner, out of the site of anyone.

"Hello everybody, how are you this fine morning?" The 52, grey haired, old woman said waddling in the classroom. There were a few 'hello' s and and some 'fine' s.

"That's good because as of today, the school board has a new rule for all your lessons, we have to use a set seating plan" she said, pulling out a piece of a4 paper. We all groaned and started gathering our belongings.

"Okay okay, I like this as much as you now enough moaning and move your bums over to the front of the classroom until your name is called. I'll be starting at the back of the class." She said walking over to my old seat.

"Sarah, you here and Jake next to her" she said. 

Do you every get that feeling when your heart is beating so hard you just want to throw yourself from a bridge and die. This was my moment, as she walked closer down to the front of the classroom, my options were running low, there is only so many people that I can stand in this class. 

"April." Mrs Mason's voice highers, grabbing me out of my daze. My head snapped in her direction while everyone laughed. There she was. Stood in the very middle seat of the classroom. I can't do that. I am a very strict side of the room person, I like to see everyone and everything, that way I'm less vulnerable to the twats I am forced to be around. Slowly, I walk forward taking my seat. As soon as I sit down, the back of my chair is prodded with a foot, My head slowly turned to see Cameron's sly smile. Great, just as I thought this couldn't get any better.

"Mr Grier, next to Miss Mendes." Oh, looks like i spoke too fucking soon. RIP me.

The bell rung and I was the first out of Spanish. Today has been well and truly shit. No joke. I put my books away in my locker and hurried out to Lucy. I put the keys in her and drove home.

I pulled in my drive way and noticed a car parked outside my house, must be one of the neighbours. I checked my phone, 3:33. Mum and dad should be here. I walked to the door to find it unlocked. That's weird, dad so paranoid about locks, I guess it's probably just because there only staying for 5 minuets. I walked in the house placing my bag at the door.

"Mom? Dad? Where are you guys?" I shout walking in the kitchen and getting a glass of water.

"Nope, there not here!" A all so familiar voice screamed.

"We are instead!" Another screamed.

I dropped my glass and ran to the room to see my best friends, well my best friend and my cousin.

"OMG JACK!!!" I screamed running over to him and jumping in his arms. He caught me instantly and spun me around in his arms. I was not crying in his shoulder, I was sweating from my eyes.

"I missed you baby" he said into my neck.

"I missed you more."

We pulled away at the sound of my cousins awkward cough.

"Shawn" I said hugging him.

"Heyy baby cuz" he said hugging me back.

"Wait what are you guys doing here? And wheres mum and dad?" I asked taking a seat on the couch, them following.

"Well aunts Emily said they would be out the week and asked if I wanted to come down, to give you some company, and I told Jack and he said he wanted to see you again so here we are. And a.e and uncle rob went two minuets before you came. They left some money and a credit card" Shawn explained. Typical. I was about to say something when the door went, I went to answer it and didn't like what was there.

Nash. Cameron. Carter and Aaron. Holy shit, why are they here? How do they know where I live? oh wait, never mind. My face froze and I didn't dare move my body until Shawn came behind me with Jack and  greeted the boys.

"April, you remember Aaron-" he started

"Yeah." I said bluntly.

"Okay, well I hope you don't mind, but I invited them over, because I haven't seen them in a while and thought this might be nice, is that okay with you?" I just nodded. No one in my family knew about the bullying and that wasn't about to change now.

They walk in my house and make themselfs comfortable on MY sofa.

"Wait, I thought you said you was at Shawn cousin, not Aprils?" Carter said.

"We are, she's my mum's sister's daughter making her my cousin. Dumbass, I thought you knew this"

"But her names April Philips, not April Mendes." Idiot.

"Her names actually April Mendes-Philips, her parents wanted her to have both names." Aaron said, wow he remembered that?

Silence filled the room until I remembered about the glass I broke. I walked across the room and into the kitchen where broken glass was all over the floor. I sighed bending on my knees to pick up all the big pieces.

I finished cleaning before I noticed blood drops on the floor. Shit. Raising my hand, I noticed a large cut breaking my skin in a diagonal line slicing across my palm.

"GILINKSY! BABY I THINK I NEED STITCHES!!" I screamed. I heard footprints run to the kitchen. Shawn and Jack ran straight to my side.

"WHAT HAPPENED APRIL?!" Jack shouted running my hand under the cold tap.

"I was cleaning up the glass and I guess I cut my hand"

"Shit, that looks bad, I think you need to go to the hospital." Thanks captain obvious. "Pass me the tea-towel Jack." Soon the white towel was wrapped tightly around my palm and I was being rushed to the front door.

"Guys where going to the hospital, so your gonna have to leave, we'll be back later though for pizza, i'll text you." Jack said getting the keys to Lucy and rushing out of the house.
