First day of class. No mistakes. I cannot be the centre of attention. I cannot lie. I need to look like I know what I am doing What am I doing? Who are these people? Would they like me? Do they know who I am? What's the teachers name again? Where is my class? Why is everyone staring at me?

These thoughts and many more have been running through my head for the last half an hour and I still haven't figured out what the teacher has been explaining to us nor why I feel like I'm in year seven again. Oh and if you haven't already guessed, I absolutly hated year seven- everyone did.

"Trinity potts." the teacher calls out she was in a pencil skirt and a white button up blouse that was too tight for her and everyone could see her pink bra underneath. It was like she was trying to seduce someone but everyone here was probably a third of her age.

"Present" I shout from the back of the class. One by one everyone's eyes turn back to me,some people look like they have seen an alien, some people just nod my way and others just look past me as if I wasn't there to begin with. First introductions went better than i\I expected.

"Bailey "  she calls out, grinning like a chesire cat when her eyes lay upon the boy.

"Yes'm" he yells from up front.

As if on cue Harley comes strolling through the door with a cigarette in hand.

"Mr stable, what does the school board tell you about cigarettes on campus?"

"Well the thing is  Dear Margaret" he pauses to take a puff. "The school board doesnt have to know. It can be our secret, there's no school board representatives in here, look its disappeared." he tosses the cigarette into the bin he walked over to and winks at her.

I silently scoff and return to my notes. Hoping he would not see me and sit with one of his friends or newest accomplishments.

"Heres a hint new girl, Fuck 'em once. your secret is safe." Harley whispers in my ear before taking a seat next to me, his eyes never leaving the teacher and I shiver. Him and her and ew and no. I choose to store that information the same way I do with algebra. *Boof* its gone.

This will be a long lesson.

The bell rings and I'm out of my seat before she tells us the homework.

I figure I should just be able to ask Bailey for the work later, seeing now how we have a new found hateship. I walk from the back of the class slowly up to the desk at the front on the opposite side to Bailey and gave him the look, the "you owe me help me get out of class look".

He then raised his hand and asked the Mrs a question and I made my escape back to my dorm for the first time in a few days.

I was just about to get onto my floor when my beloved co-boarder came up to me and started the dreaded conversation.

"Tiffany" Charlotte calls supposedly after me.

"It's trinity" I called back racing to my dorm.

"Wait up" she says as I sigh and catch my breath.

"Look, I over reacted. I shouldn't of kicked you out of my dorm, after all we have to share. I'm just over protective of my little brother as he has never had friends, especially friends who are girls." she coughs.

"Yep. W-w- well it's our room and I'm staying at Baileys tonight so you can have Harley over if you want." I stutter feeling suddenly embarressed and wanting to get out of the room as soon as possible.
Before sending a quick text to Bailey.

I'll be there in 10- t

Oh god I forgot :(. I'll be there in an hour. Harry will let you in. :) - B

"So you are going to my brothers house tonight instead of staying in my dorm?" She said rudely placing a hand on her hip. I paid more attention to the fact that she said the dorm was hers.

"Yeah well I know how much you and harley love having this place to yourself." I shrug.

"And you're sure you want to be hanging around with my younger brother."

"You guys are twins."

"I'm the older one." she smiled proudly.

"So how come you're living in a dorm and he's off campus."

"Favouritism." She replied dryly, "Parents want to give all the money to the boy of the family, they say I can marry for wealth later in life."

"Oh..." I cringed. I couldn't Imagine marrying for anything other than love.

"Dont get me wrong, I love my parents despite their constant put downs but I completly disagree with them on that ordeal. Like loves pretty important you know?"

"Yeah I figured." I agreed as I started packing stuff into an over night bag.

"Do you love Harley?" I suddenly blurt out.

She raised her eyebrow before replying, "I never really thought about it to be honest, A lots been going on lately."

"That's fair enough." I replied lightly as we resumed into silence, being too preoccupied with our own lives to really stress over the others persons problems.

"Okay well im leaving now." I awkwardly wave in her diection to get her attention.

"Okay well be safe driving okay?" she replied making eyecontact, "Say hi to Harry for me, he's such a nice boy."

"Okay sure?" I replied skeptically but didnt question it any further as I walked out of my room and into my renta car.
