I walk in the kitchen and see my dad and brother sitting around the table. "Ready to start Senior Year?" my father asks.

"Nope just nervous," I whisper sitting down on a stool, "Never ready to go back to school."

"Gracey, everything is going to be just fine," dad answers standing up walking towards me, "Nothing bad is going to happen."

"I know nothing bad is going to happen," I answer softly, "but still I just don't want to go."

"Well you need to," Samuel answers, "It's your final year."

------------

I walk out the door and jump in my car. I back up slowly and drive to school. When I park I see a boy I don't recognize leaning against the building smoking. "Great," I mumble turning off my car, "another bad boy. Just what this school needs."

I watch as Hayley Smith walks up to him. She starts flirting with him which makes me gag. Haiden runs up to me and hugs me, "I haven't seen you in so long, bestie."

"Well if you didn't run off to Florida then you would've seen me," I reply to her glaring playfully.

"Hey it was a cruise to the Caribbean," she replies putting her hands up in defeat. She looks over to where the newest bad boy of  Harrlington High. "Who's he?"

"Don't know," I shrug walking towards the school doors, "and don't really care."

Haiden's other friends come up and start talking to her. I know that's my cue to leave. By the time lunch rolls around all anybody's talking about is the bad boy. "I've heard that he is in Rodrigo's gang," a girl said as I walk by.

What's up with all this anyway. It's not like we don't get any new students ever. We get plenty of new students every month. I don't know what makes him any different. I sit down at the lunch table and watch the new bad boy walk in. I'm pretty sure his name is Carson Beckett but I'm not exactly sure. His eyes surf across the lunch room until they land on me. His lips turn into a smirk as he walks this way. I look away and look at Haiden and whisper, "Haiden, is he coming this way."

"Umm, No," Haiden says but I hear the lie in her voice.

"Hello, I was wondering if you would show me around?" I hear a gruff voice whispers from behind me.

"No," I whisper barely being able to hear myself, "I can't."

"Ohh come on, cutie," the gruff voice replies. The person puts there hand on my shoulder. "I know you want to."

"She said no," Haiden growls, "so back down, mister, before something bad happens."

I look up and see Haiden and Beckett stand up. Both with a scowl on there face. "Why should I?" the voice responds.

I start chewing on the inside of my cheeks. "Leave now," Beckett growls, "before things worsen."

"I need to go," I whisper running out of lunch room. I run towards the nearest bathroom. I let out the breath I was holding. I hear the door open to the bathroom and someone knock on my stall door. "I'm good."

"Can you come out, please?" Haiden voice echoes through the bathroom.

I walk out of the bathroom to see Haiden standing there with my bag. "I'm sorry for running out like that," I whisper, "one was about to start."

"I know and it's okay. I know you don't want people knowing you have anxiety. It's probably a good thing you left."
------------------
I push through the crowd of people on my way to eight period. I feel someone's rough hand grab my arm and pull me into a classroom. I feel my anxiety slowly build up. I'm going to be late, I think, I'm going to be late to class.
