Where's the Light?

The pain

It all began the first day at our new school. The torture, the loneliness and the pain. I entered Whitehorse high school with my gorgeous brother Luke by my side. He is a ladies charmer. People said we looked similar before puberty hit. He has crystal blue eyes that will make the ladies melt, and gorgeous thick blond hair. While I have the oily hair the colour of wet sand and a shameful amount of pimples. We walk to our homeroom side by side. I've had a few glares along the way there, but I'm use to it. A roar of laughter filled my ears. Something I haven't experienced in a long time. I felt tears come to my eyes. Was I serious this is no place or time for tears I told myself. I quickly wiped them away before anyone could notice.

We were welcomed by a swarm of people. Well, definitely more Luke than me. People were staring. I knew this would happen. I told mum but she didn't listen like usual. She hoped I would have died in the accident. I felt like their eyes were sucking the life out of me one by one. The tears were back one after the other. I quickly turned and sprinted our of homeroom. I was not ready for this. But the next thing I knew, a jolt of pain filled me as I hit the hard surface and it all went black.

The talent show, people clapping, cheering in fact. I'm singing like I use to, but then I wake up. I try to open my eyes but I can't, it's too painful. So I just let myself fall asleep.
