Chapter 4

I wake to my alarm ringing for over an hour? I check the time on my phone and it's 8, classes already started meaning I'm late.

Pulling my self from the bed, my Jett black hair is everywhere, my green eyes are red and puffy from crying, let's not forget the bags I have under them. I feel sore all over and sleeping in my jeans and bra did not help at all.
I drag myself to the bathroom do the needful and put on my uniform and shoes, grab my bag and head to the school side.

On reaching there, the halls are empty seeing as classes are on going. I walk further and enter my math class. As I open the door, everyone stops what they are doing and look at my direction.

"Ah miss Montenegro, so nice of you to finally join us. What is your excuse this time?" he asked with mockery in his tone.

"I woke up late and I feel really tired." I said not looking at Adrian who sat at the back corner of the class room but I know he is staring intently at me.

"Yes I can see, you look like shit." he said smiling at me.

"gee thanks a lot." I reply sarcastically with an eye roll.

"Please keep your sarcasm to yourself Miss Montenegro and take a seat because why you were still in bed I was educating this serious students."

"Yeah yeah" I reply walking to any empty seat I see. There are two one beside Adrian and the other beside Melody. Obviously I'll chose the one beside Melody. I sat down and tune out Mr Roger as the period slowly fades away.

When the bell rings, I'm first to leave the class not before I hear Mr Roger say "nice to see that my class bores you." and laughing.

Oh Mr Roger, the only teacher I like...we bicker a lot but he gets me. I have homeroom now so I'm head there not before hearing someone crashing behind me. I look behined to see Melody and her books on the ground. "I swear that locker wasn't there before." she says and I laugh, like a full blown laugh "I'm pretty sure it has always been there." I tell her while helping pick up her books.

"I know." she replies with a sigh.

Melody stone yes, twin to Mason stone, hazel eyes like her brother and same facial features just that hers is more feminine. She is the most clumsiest person I've met. She doesn't go a day without tripping, hitting people, knocking stuff down. I don't know what her parents were thinking given her the name Melody. She isn't melodic in the slightest way. Talk about irony.

We had homeroom together so we went together, me trying to steady her so she doesn't fall or hit anyone. she's so nice and this leads you to wonder how she ended up her... Well, before her brother got sent here she didn't want him to go but since she didn't have a say, she was hell bent on following him 'cause she didn't want to separate from Mason. That's her story and Mason does a good job at protecting her and keeping her safe. We talk for a while and she's really funny and is a good companion but I don't think I'm ready for that kind of attachment.

The bell rings indicating I have one more class before lunch time. I say bye to Melody and make my way to my locker to get my biology note but I see Adrian standing there and then I come to a full stop and stare at him. He seems to notice and looks my way. On second thought, who needs a biology note i will just write in my head. Yes my head.

Before he could utter a word, I turn around and walk the opposite direction.

^^^^^^^^

Fast forward to lunch. I plan on eating today outside under the tree but I guess life has something planned because as I was making my way out of the cafeteria Melody stops me

"Hey Kayla, come eat with me and my friends." and by friends she means Mason and Adrian would be there and a few other so I quickly decline trying to make an excuse...

"um no Melody I'm actually go- "

"nonsense." she cuts me and began dragging to their table. For someone so clumsy, she is strong 'cause I can't seem to get out of her grip. My brain flashes red and I go into panic mode.

"Guys" she says slightly loud and now everyone has their eyes on me.

"this is Kayla. I guess most of you know her. She's...she's a friend" she says smiling at me. Hearing her say that makes me immediately feel bad for wanting to ditch her. She's the first to consider me a friend. I sigh muttering a 'hi'.

I'm currently sitting in between Mason and Brad.
Adrian seats across from me with Ashton beside him and a red head whose name is Beverly.
Everyone one is conversing and I feel so out of place.

"Kayla" Mason say quite loud making me jump...

"What?" I say disoriented.

"Kayla I've been calling you... Anyway are you going for the bonfire on Saturday?" Melody asks and everyone is waiting for my answer.

"Um n-no. No I'm not." I respond

"why? Come on it will be fun." she says.

"No Melody. Not my scene" I say

"please come Kayla. I promise you'll have a-"

"NO!!" I cut her off angrily. "I said no already let it go" Everyone at the table is looking at me with a shocked expression. I sigh and say more softly,

"I'm sorry but no...thanks for inviting me though." with that I leave.
