Everyone lifted their heads at the sound of the classroom door been opened halfway through the History lesson. The eerie silence pounded in Daniels eardrums as he tried to confidently Ignore all of the eyes watching him as he walked over to the teacher sat at his desk. 

"What's your name?" The teacher asked him.

"Daniel Matthews." 

"Okay Daniel, please find an empty desk and open the text book at page twenty four" the teacher told him.

Making his way to an empty desk at the back of the classroom, every step he took felt like an eternity as he tried to act like he wasn't effected by the stares and whispers that where uncomfortably burning Into his skin. He sat down Ignoring the giggling group of girls who's desks where huddled together staring and whispering. 

"Right everyone quieten down and get your heads back In the textbooks. You will be tested on Friday so make sure you read everything up to page forty two." The teacher told everyone.

Groans and moans were heard throughout the classroom but quickly dispelled when the teacher shouted, 'be quiet.' The room fell Into a deathly silence as Daniel opened the book and silently groaned to himself as he seen the heading, The American Revolution.

"Right everyone hand In your books before you leave" the teacher shouted as squeaks and scrapes could be heard from moving chairs as all the kids scrambled to leave the classroom as the bell rung. Not In a hurry to leave Daniel waited till everyone had scrambled out then walked to the desk to hand the teacher the book.       

The teacher was not blind to what looked like rope burns visible on Daniels wrists as he handed the teacher the textbook. 

"Daniel!" the teacher said as he was just about to open the door and leave.

"I'm Andrew Walker, Daniel. If you ever need to talk you can come and see me" he said as he studied the boys face In front of him noticing the bruising just beneath the boys Adams Apple.

"Yeah whatever" Daniel mumbled as he opened the door and left the room.

The whole cafeteria went quiet as he entered to join the dinner queue. "Daniel come and sit with us" Rory the blonde boy that had showed him around stood up and shouted over to him. 

Quietly relieved that he wouldn't have to sit by himself and be the sole focus of everyone's conversations and stares, he got his tray of food and made his way to Rory's table. 

"This is Tanner, Brad and Justin. Everyone this Is Daniel, he just started here today" Rory smiled Introducing the boys sat around the table. Daniel felt awkward like a fish out of water as the boys continued their casual conversation about the latest Avengers Movie.

"Daniel do you want to come the pictures with us on Saturday and hang out with us afterwards?" Rory asked with a friendly smile. 

"I can't" Daniel replied bluntly as he started tucking Into his food. 

"Maybe another time then" Rory suggested looking dejected. 

"What's that on your wrist?" Justin quipped looking at Daniel and noticing bruising under the cuffs of his shirt. 

"Nothing" Daniel abruptly muttered, getting up and quickly leaving the table. 

"Watch where you're fucking going Idiot" a boy shouted out as Daniel bumped shoulders with him as he quickly left the Dinner hall. 

"Fuck you" Daniel sneered as he carried on walking down the hallway away from the dinner hall.
