"M.s Felt you will see your daughter hopefully shortly, but we must do some more tests," Dr Mason says "no more tests! I want to see my baby!" M.s Felt demands "no, it could be dangerous" Dr Mason replies calmly M.s Felt jumps out of bed and runs to the window "WHERE IS SHE?!" she screeches Dr Mason puffs "I need to do cardio, anyways we are doing tests" Dr Mason snaps M.s Felt bursts into tears 

JANUARY 6TH 2004 

"ok, that's enough I DEMAND to see my daughter!" M.s Felt snaps Dr Mason rushes in "you will never see your daughter," he says "w-why?!" M.s Felt cries "well, your daughter has a Broken Heart, a part of her heart is broken if anyone shows any love to her she'll perish," he says sadly as he kicks M.s Felt out she screams but understands as she sulks away home...

OCTOBER 14TH 2019 

"happy birthday, to me, happy birthday, to me..." I say glumly I let out a sigh Dr Mason walks in "happy birthday Bella, ready for your daily checkup?" he asks I nod he does the usual tests including a vaccination it doesn't hurt anymore because the Doctor has to do it EVERY HOUR since I was born, for some strange reason NO ONE showed me any love... "Well I do have a gift for you," Dr Mason says subtly not looking at me, "you will be going to school" 

"AAH! THANK YOU!" I squeal hugging him but my skin burns "OW!" I cry Dr Mason puts ice on it "no you don't show or feel any love" he replies I get super excited and get changed 

"Bella put on your mask and do not find anyone attractive" Dr Mason demands I nod and run to the high school it was amazing! I look around I was dazed "LOOK OUT!" I hear before I could stop I crashed, "are you ok?" the girl asks I look at her "I'm ok" I reply she looked super awesome she had pale skin with blue hair, jet-black eyebrows and ebony eyes with a nose ring and a few tattoos  but they were small on her wrist was the Chinese symbol for confidence and on her shoulder was a small heart and on her other wrist was a 'Z' "I'm Bella" I extend my hand "Lottie" she replies shaking my hand, I was so confused why did her tattoo have a 'Z' if her name was Lottie

 my hand starts getting irritated "um... are you ok?" she asks "y-yep" I lie "you are looking sickly did I give you a concussion?! My mum ALWAYS says I'm too clumsy!" Lottie panics I smile she looked tough but she was secretly really clumsy and shy she showed me to the Nurse's Office "hello Bella Felt should I call Dr Mason?" she asks "h-how?" I stutter "Nurses know everything about the Students" the Nurse replies "ok Charlotte, can you please go to class?" the Nurse asks "MUUUM gah! I mean Mrs Walker it's Lottie" she replies Mrs. Walker glares at her "I will call you Charlotte because it is your birth name" Mrs Walker snaps "NOW LEAVE!" she barks Lottie runs out but quickly pokes her head in through the door "sorry I forgot to say, go to the classrooms F3S for Cooking and E6T for Music" then she screams out her combat boots clanging on the tiles 

I take a seat and wait for swelling and irritation to die Mrs. Walker walks gracefully over "I'm sorry about her, last year she wasn't like this *sigh* she was hanging in the right crowd, had a beautiful look then this year she got put into a band and quit her violin lessons and played a Bass Guitar" she hisses I felt uncomfortable "Lottie is really nice..." I reply "she is, her personality is the same just... her outfit is what I miss" Mrs Walker sighs "WHY DID SHE DYE HER HAIR?! HER BLACK HAIR WAS SO PRETTY NOW LOOK AT IT!" Mrs Walker screams I quickly leave and scan the classrooms I open the door Lottie was fast asleep along with everyone else except for a girl with red hair Lottie opens one eye and sees me "Bell-AHHH!" she squeals but tips her chair over backwards before she could finish my name the teacher spun around and sees Lottie "CHARLOTTE?! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Mr Henderson demands, the girl with the red hair raises her hand "what do you want Tracey?" he sighs "as me being the Prefect, School Captain last year and SRC every other year it says in the rule book Page 4 and Page 111 that swinging on the chairs (page 111) AND disrupting the class (Page 4) is a punishable offence! Charlotte must go to the Principal's Office" Tracey says Mr Henderson looks at Tracey "did you memorise the entire rulebook?" he asks Tracey nods proudly "well Charlotte you heard the Prefect. To the Principal's Office" Lottie lets out a gasp 

Tracey raises her hand again "yes?" Mr Henderson says clearly annoyed "I have to tell you the entire class except for me was asleep in your class and the Regal Rulebook it says that sleeping in class means detention the only person who wasn't asleep was me" Tracey grins a perfect row of glittering teeth Lottie bounces up and down waving her arms frantically hitting a pair of boys every time "Charlotte, what do you want to tell me?" Mr Henderson sighs "MEET BELLA!" she points to me Mr Henderson looks "oh my! I'm sorry Bella! I was so focused on this mess I didn't notice! HAHA! Please introduce yourself to the class" he says "hi, I'm Bella I'm 15-years-old and my favourite animals are cats" I say Lottie squeals "we have so much in common! I LOOOVE CATS!" she runs over to me and pulls me into a hug I start to burn and sizzle "ow," I say automatically I sneakily look at the burn it wasn't super severe...

 "Sorry," Lottie says apologetically I smile "don't sweat it" I grin "Mr Henderson can I PLEASE give Bells a Tour of the school PLEASE?" Lottie begs Mr Henderson thinks "Mr Henderson Charlotte is a terrible role model! She cannot handle the responsibility of looking after a fish imagine her with a human being " Tracey objects Mr Henderson shrugs "Tracey you will be Bella's tour guide" he says Lottie sighs "aww" she sobs "w-wait" I stutter "can I choose my tour guide?" I ask Tracey nods "of course Democracy overrules" she replies "what she said" Mr Henderson adds I look at Lottie "Lottie please" she bounces up and down "YAAS!" she cheers Tracey shrugs "whatever I want to resume learning anyways must keep up those A's" she replies, and glumly sits down Lottie steers me out of the classroom she gives me a quick tour "ok done now lets do something fun" she giggles I smile and take off my mask "wow! You have red dots under your eyes" she says amazed

"Lottie I trust you, the reason I was burning up is that I-I have a broken heart..." I sigh

"as in you've been dumped?" she asks intrigued

"no, it's a lot more complicated..." I reply "I was born with a rare condition if someone loves me and if I love them in return including crushes, family, friends etc. I will burn up and if it's too strong I will die" I answer sadly Lottie's jaw drops to the floor "wait! I don't love you" she says stepping away "huh? OH NO! It's not that kind of love and love like friendship love showing it like hugs and high fives" I explain Lottie sighs with relief "PHEW!" she wipes the sweat off her brow "now, my secret" she says "y-you have a secret?" I ask a little frightened "a few years ago my mum fell pregnant with my little sister Zoey, when she was born we loved her so much and she was healthy but one afternoon we took her out to a park mum told me to watch Zoey b-but I was on my phone talking to Tracey about homework, when mum returned she couldn't find Zoey and blamed me..." she sobs I let out a gasp "oh no!" I exclaim Lottie looks at the ground she smiles at me and clicks her fingers "I have a GENIUS idea follow me!" she smiles snatching my hand and steering me to the cafeteria I see a plump Italian woman but she had kind eyes that glittered like stars I was mesmerised "aah Ciao Lottie! Come va?" she asks I raise an eyebrow  "oh Bella this is Giulia an old friend and she just asked how are you" Lottie explains I look at Giulia "good thank you" I reply the woman smiles "you are very Bella" Giulia says smiling "how did she guess my name?" I ask amazed, Lottie giggles "Bella means beautiful in Italian" Lottie explains "I am sorry but you are, did you girls want anything?" Giulia asks "just 2 gelatos please" Lottie smiles Giulia goes over to the ice-cream station and makes them we both thank Giulia and walk out but I could hear under her breath "I will always be eternally grateful" I look at Lottie, she looks sheepishly at me 

we sit down I wanted to break the ice between us "d-did you do something for Giulia?" I ask Lottie sighs "yeah I did" I was eager to hear this story:

"Giulia is a refugee from Italy she left because her husband was unfaithful to her... she left with her two sons Mario and Luigi, they were living on the streets for a month and Luigi fell ill my mum saw the dying Luigi and gave them money and sent him to a hospital, once Luigi healed we invited his family to live with us Giulia as a thank you cooked us mouth-watering Italian dishes" she explains 

I nod "why didn't she freak out about the dots under my eyes?" I ask just remembering through that interaction I wasn't wearing my mask, Lottie shrugs "she probably... hmmm... sorry I don't know..." I let it leave my mind, I dig my hand into my pocket and my heart almost skips a beat "MY MASK!" I cry. "where is it?" I panic "calm down Bella... We'll find it" she soothes. I take a shaky breath
