Dear diary,

i arrive at school on time and reach my form room where everyone else is already inside sitting in the wrong seats messing about as no teacher is present. As i enter everyone is quiet and staring at me, they've obviously noticed my failed attempt at covering up my marks/scars but i say "What?!" so everyone returns to their conversations.

I walk over to the back of the class and take a seat at my desk, i rest my bag on the chair next to me as there is no sign of my partner. few minutes later a teacher arrives but it isn't our normal teacher Mr woods its everyone's fave cover teacher Mr Fletcher. don't get me wrong i like the guy just as much as everyone else does but when i say everyone's fave i mean pretty much everyone has a crush on him.Poor guy.

as Mr Fletcher sits at his desk and tells us to take seats most the girls move over to sit closer to him. typical.

Then we have the popular boys sitting at the back left corner. The nerds sitting at the front few desks. The inbetweeners scattered around the class who are bitchy like the popular's but goody goodies in the eyes of the teachers (you can see why they are call the inbetweeners)

....and then we have me.

No one comes near me, they see me with scars bruises etc. and would make stories bout how I'm in a gang and get beaten up all the time which makes them avoid me and to be fair I'm fine with that....sorry but id rather not be put in categories like everyone else especially since i don't want to be sluts like most the girls in the popular squad, or nerds that get mocked for being goody goodies and i don't wont to be an inbetweener, they are in the middle of it all so no thanks.

"hey Ashley" my friends Luke Adam and Lucy say walking over crowding round my desk. My friends are the only people normal in this classroom

"hey " i say in response

"wow that looks painful" Lucy winced

"oww don't poke my bruises" i moaned as i pushed Adam's hands off my face

"quiet back right corner i need to do the register" Mr Fletcher said proceeding to call out names.

"Ashley you know you can always stay round my house to avoid your dad" Luke offered

"Luke willow?" (register)

"here sir"

"thanks Luke but id probably end up with worse injuries if he founds out id been out elsewhere plus if my dad finds out you guys know then not only will i get hurt but he would harm you guys as well" i whispered

"Lucy winters" (register)

"yes sir"

"don't worry bout us its you who needs to stay safe" Adam replies

"Adam Heath"(register)

"HERE!" he replied making the class laugh....typical class clown

"I'm not risking anything ill be fine" i respond

"come here" Luke said embracing me in an unwanted but kinda sweet hug.

"at least stay in an after-school club with one of us...your dad cant say anything bout you being in school" Lucy begged

"i- "hmmm

"Ashley Thorpe..."(register)

that seems like a good idea but last time i came home late my so called father interrogated me to make sure i didn't tell anyone about the way he treated me.

"Ashley Thorpe...I'm guessing not her-" (register)

"oh sorry sir I'm here" i interrupt and he looks at me raises his eyebrows but ignores and proceeds with the rest of the list.

"as i was saying, i don't think that's a good idea"i answered

"okay if you're sure" Lucy replied

-bell rings-

everyone exits the classroom but me and Adam are the last to leave. well we try to leave before Mr Fletcher interrupts.

"Ashley right? can i borrow you for a minute"


shit is this bout the register...i didn't mean to sound bitchy. I nod at Adam so he could walk on ahead without me to our french class. sigh.
