Brenna made it to class just a minute before it started. Feeling grateful that she wasn't late, she sat and got ready for class. Mr Quinn, their math teacher, started babbling about algebra and Brenna managed to concentrate. She was agitated, though, about Devon and prayed that he hits his head hard enough on a wall so that he gets amnesia, leaving her trouble_ free, but she knew that that wasn't happening sooner or later.

The class was brisk and delirious, and she coerced herself to delegate her studies. The docile students were so eager for Mr Quinn's  teaching that they leap out of their desks and mumble with other students for answers to activities.

Mr Quinn's class was always lively and everyone enjoyed his classes except for jocks, who apply for this class, just for their free time because they knew that Mr Quinn  wouldn't mind their behaviour.

Brenna suddenly felt a deja vu creeping on her and prayed that its not a bad one. As if on cue, the door was opened brutally and like earlier, silence engulfed the room.

Devon Night strolled in the room with both his left and right hand man, Hugo Steels and Aiden Ma'call. They have been friends since kindergarden and were all inseparable.

Hugo Steels is an easy going guy, and just like his name, he is quite  intelligent. With his baby blue eyes, blondy hair, and his killer smile, he woos each and every girl, but mostly they would fall for his dimples. He was the audacious one from the group and is quite  playful.

Aiden Ma'call isn't any different from Hugo. They both woo people with their crazy pickup lines and their charming smiles. His appearance also doesn't help. Sandy hair with identical eyes that is full of nothing but mischief.

However, Devon Night is not at all the same like them. His midnight hair and piercing black eyes is enough to send everyone hide from him. Students, including teachers, would cower at the sight of him. No one dares to contradict him for they all fear his rage and wrath. Everything runs by his rules.

As they settle at their usual seats, both Aiden and Hugo started flirting around, shattering the silence that was in the room. Devon, however, looked out and his face, as usual, was devoid of any emotions.

"Mr Steels, would you stop your flirting so that class can start?" Mr Quinn said with a sterning look.

"Oh... I'm teribbly sorry" Hugo said feigning sincerity. "It won't happen again" he added, flashing his million dollar smile. He turned back and winked at Bianca making the girl giggle vigorously.

Mr Quinn shook his head and went back teaching algebra but no one payed attention anymore to the lessons especially the girls. Long gone are the docile students, and the inattentive students appeared all in a nanosecond. And all because of the three male species that arrived to class. Late.

Brenna started becoming restless and wished that her oversized       t-shirt could swallow her. She couldn't bear her anxiety any longer and stood up timidly to go to the washroom. After seeking permission, she was out.

She greedily devoured air and was instantly relieved. She let the cool breeze caress her flushed face and walked to the bathroom, planning to spend the remaining 15mins there.

While walking along the corridor, Brenna came across Ashley Scott kissing Tom Brown in the hall way. She hurried past them so that her innocent brain could not be tainted but Tom's voice stopped her.

"Well isn't it mud girl?" He asked disdainfully.

"No Tom" came Ashley's husky voice, no doubt from her earlier activity. "Its little missy whore, I shall say" She added with a wink.

Tom's laughter filled the hall and Brenna was thankful that it was empty.

"Well... I should take her to bed then since I haven't tasted her" Tom said with a smirk on his face.

Brenna unconsciously stepped back and tried her best to hide her fear, but Tom saw through it and smiled, feeling smug. She backed away even farther from his threatening stance.

Tom strided towards her, gripped her arms tightly and pulled her roughly to his chest. Brenna let out a cry of agony and pleaded silently that he wouldn't do anything to her. She does not have any more strenght to withstand any more abuse.

She shook her head frantically and tried her best to break free from his strong grip but he still held onto her like a leech. Unshed tears filled her eyes and her body was slowly losing her. Brenna stepped on his feet accidentally, and Tom let out a cry of horror.

He back slapped her and Brenna fell on her bruised side. But Tom didn't stop there. He kicked her like a soccer ball, and stomp on her frail body brutally.

Brenna shielded her head and face so that the abuse doesn't affect her face, so that she can continue going to school. Tom stopped once he was tired, and grabbed Ashley who was standing all along during Tom's tortures, enjoying every bit of the show displayed.

Brenna stood up timidly, afraid that her bones are broken again. She struggled to the bathroom to attain her new injuries, and hoped that there was no more torments.

But she knew that her hopes were futile 'cause nothing is ever in her favour. She is nothing but a punching bag both at home and school. There was no place where she could seek refugee and no one to help her escape her torturous life.

She is all alone in this world and only she can fight her battles. No one else but her. And its always like that ever since she can remember.

So chapter one is done. I really do hope that ya'll enjoyed it.
