*Blake*

I love my dad but since he got married to another woman, he's always happy and I can't stand his happiness with her. Natasha is a great lady, she's sweet and caring and she's making my father happy. I'm greatful for that, but my father's happiness isn't enough to make me happy. My father didn't suffer like I did, we both suffered in diferent ways. I was in the accident, he wasn't. But he lost his wife and son like I lost my mother and brother. I've shut myself down from people since I was told they died, I loved them like a child loves her family. I haven't cried since then, I haven't laughed nor smiled. My father resorted to psychologists to help me, but I wouldn't speak. I didn't want to and with time, he gave up.

I woke up this morning with the sound of my alarm. It's my fist day of school today and I miss summer already. Gladly, people know that I want to be left alone. No one knows anything about me and I'm cool with that. I got up from the bed and I went to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. I put on my black jeans and a grey hoodie, with my black boots on my feet. I brushed my hair and once ready, I went down stairs to have breakfast. My dad was at the table with his coffee and the newspaper.

"Good morning, sweetie." He smiled and I kissed his cheek in return. I made cereal with milk and sat beside him. I started eating and seconds later Natasha entered the kitchen.

"Morning, darling." Natasha pressed a kiss on my father's cheek, after sitting beside him on the other side of the dining table. "Morning, Blake." She smiled at me, I looked at her and then I continued eating my cereal.

"It's your fist day of your last year, aren't you excited?" My dad asked, flipping through the pages of the newspaper.

"Every year is the same." I said nonchalantly as I finished eating my cereal, "I have to go. Will you drive me there?" I asked and he simply nodded, putting the newspaper down on the table. I picked my bag up and placed it over my shoulder. Another school year... I was right when I said that every year was the same shit. I have my classes and I ignore people. Nothing interesting ever happens to me and I'm fine with that, relieved even. My dad and I got to the car, quickly after he gave Natasha a kiss goodbye.

"Will you please try to make some friends this year?" He almost begged and kissed my forehead, when we arrived to the school.

"No dad, I don't like the people here." I said to him and opened the car door, he sighed. "Bye." He waved and I closed the door, letting him start the car and drive off. I turned around and started walking to the big building. I put my hood over my head and opened my locker, still empty. I taped my schedule to the door and checked my first class. Spanish, well that's not so bad. I closed the door and started walking to the classroom, placing my hands in my pockets. I felt someone tapping on my shoulder and turned around, a girl with blondish brown hair was smiling at me, I never saw her around here before.

"Hi, I just wanted to ask you where the Biology class is." She said with an annoying smile and a hint of Irish accent, I looked at her and shrugged.

"I'm sure you can find it yourself." Her smile dropped when I turned around and continued making my way to Spanish class. The room was empty and I was relived, I sat on the back and took my IPod and headphones from my bag, putting them on and starting to listen to Michael Bublé. I could still hear the bell ring for class through the headphones and people started to enter the classroom. I turned the music off but kept the headphones until the teacher came in.

I found that girl again in my Advisory class, when Mr. Bates introduced her to the class. Everyone was smiling at her and offering her to sit next to them but guess who she sat next to.

"Hi, again." She said smiling and I groaned, "I'm Dawn. Dawn Dawson. But you can call me Kathy." She said smiling and extended her hand for me to shake but I just looked away and started playing Angry Birds on my phone.

"Okay, everyone. Since it's our first class, you can do whatever you want." Mr. Bates announced and cheers were heard all over the room.

"Well, you're not very nice, are ya?" I heard her asking, I looked at her annoyed placing my phone down and she was smirking.

"Don't talk to me." I told her coldly and she chuckled.

"Damn, so cold. Don't worry, I still like you." She said smiling and I raised an eyebrow.

"I don't want you to like me, I want you to leave me alone." She laughed.

"Sorry but I already like you. Are ya going to tell me your name?" I snorted and she smirked. "Alright, I'll ask around." Oh no.

"It's Blake." I told her, "Can you leave me alone now?" I picked my phone up from my desk and continued playing Angry Birds.

"Great you have a phone, will you give me your number?" I groaned and decided to ignore her and put my headphones.

Later, I found out Dawn wasn't just in my Advisory Class. She told me she's in my Art Class and Cooking Class. To sum it up, I'm fucked. She's going to be everywhere now. She kept talking to me and smiling. That never happened before, she's persistent as shit and she only talks to me, nobody else. What did I do wrong...? I did the same things I did last year and the year bofore that. I was rude, I ignored her, I said I didn't like her but she just smiled and kept talking.

I'm in my Drama Class now, everyone here is in the Drama Club. Some take care of the cenario, others take care of the lighting and the others the sound. I sat at the back as usual and Mrs. Darwin started talking about Drama Club. Then a boy entered the class, he was wearing a red beanie, a white tank top, that showed some tattoos on his arms and hands, and black jeans.

"Sorry, I'm late." He said and then he sat down in front of me.

He's one of the popular guys, I think. His name is Lewis or something, I don't know why he's popular. Maybe because he has a pretty face and has this womanizer attitude. Girls here freak out when he talks to them or winks at them. It's amusing to watch how pathetic they look. 

"Okay..." Mrs. Darwin continued, "Well, like I was saying, Blake is going to supervise the fresheman's auditions for the Drama Club. You will have to be there if you're a part of the Drama Club, if you're not and you want to then look for Blake and you can audiction too. The auditions are this Friday at a half past 2 in the auditorium, I'll be there to help Blake. I've been posting some pamphlets around school for the other students. Any questions?" She asked and Lewis raised his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Tomlinson?" She gave him permition to speak.

"How do we find this Blake guy?" My eyes widen and Mrs. Darwin laughed with the rest of the class, what the fuck? "What? What's so funny?" He asked confused and I rolled my eyes.

"She is going to be in front of the stage of the auditorium, Mr. Tomlinson. Ms. Arthur, will you introduce yourself?" She looked at me and Lewis turned around to see me, his eyes wide open.

"I'm Blake."
