I endured a painful 3 hours of Maths, History and English but it was finally lunch and after that a double period of music. I met Niamh in the canteen and we decided to go to Tesco for lunch it was only a 10 minute walk. As per usual it was packed with children buying crap for their lunch. I bought my meal deal and then got out of there, Niamh slowly behind. On the way back we saw the popular's all flirting with each other. In my opinion they were all just slags but that's the generation of today! Sleeping, drinking and taking drugs! We walked past them, when someone stood right infront of me. Great. I looked up to see the one and only Greg. What did he want know!?  

"Look who it is, Geek 1 and Geek 2." He said smugly as his little friends laughed along with him. 

"And look who it is Prick 1 and his slaggy crew." I replied right back  

" You think your funny don't you , you little freak. So how is that depressed sister of you these days? Is she still slitting her wrist and listening to that crap screamo? " he mocked me 

I would of done it right there, right then. I would have kicked him in the balls then punched him in the face but no I was the bigger person and walked away. The only reason he knew about my sister is because one day he was listening in on one of my counselling sessions with my teacher.  

"Becky, don't listen to him! Serena has stopped now. She is in such a good place now. She might still listen to death metal but ..." Niamh tried to make me feel better. I knew she cared but she didn't realise how much it killed me inside. I can still remember the day I found out.

(Flashback)

I walked in to my house, It was so quiet but I couldn't help but hear a small whimper of pain come from upstairs. I laid my stuff down and slowly crept up to my sisters room. I found the source of the crying but I was not prepared what I was about to see. I opened her door slowly as she slid the solid metal blade over her wrist. The floor creaked under my feet as she looked at me. My heart broke. I tried to speak but I had no words. She washed her arm with the already stained red wash cloth and patted the space beside her.  

"It all got to me Becky, I just couldn't handle it. The pressure of school and trying to fit in. The way my supposed friend's treat me. I just hate it." She cried in to my shoulder. My sister was 2 years older than me but I was her rock and i would do anything to make sure she got help, to make sure she stopped.

(End of Flashback)

It was time for Double music. This was the best choice I had made in a long time. There was only one problem with it. Greg and some of his so called friends were also took this subject. Today we were starting to prepare for are upcoming exams. We had to sing and play an instrument. Since I was a massive You Me At Six fan I decided to do an acoustic version of their song Crash.

Wait, where you say you've been? 

Who you been with? 

Where you say you're goin'? 

Who you goin' with?

Keep me on my toes,  

keep me in the know.

Wait, keep me in your skin,  

keep me in your chest. 

I'll wait for it to start,  

I'll wait for it to end.

Keep me on my toes,  

keep me in the know.

But when I looked at him,  

I thought of only you. 

If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.
