We got to school and Alice dragged Calum with her leaving Luke and I.

"Um do you think you could show me around school. Unless that will get you in trouble." I said kind of shaky.

"Yeah sure lets go." He says leading me to the school.

I got a bunch of glares from girls after their eyes popped out at Luke. Guess he's popular. Some of the girls mutter unkind names to me which I didn't bother to care about.

We walked to the front office. To my disadvantage Luke said he needed to meet someone so I was left alone. I walked the rest of the way receiving cat calls and dirty looks from girls. Great.

I walked in to see an older lady sitting at the desk.

"Um excuse me Miss." She looked up and had a cheery smile.

"Hello dear how can I help ya?"

"Um I'm Tale Harris. I'm new here and I was told to get my times table? Is this where I get it?" She nodded an went threw her files.

"Tatalina Harris?" She asked and I nodded.

"That's my real name" I stated.

"Well sweetie, here is your times table and here is a map of the school. I can ask one of those guys out there to show you around." Before I could turn down her offer I felt a hand on my back.

"I'll show her around" an unfamiliar voice said. I turned to be met by a guy. He's pretty tall with light brown curly hair and bright blue eyes.

"Thank you Andrew. Tale, this is Andrew. He will show you to all your classes." I just nodded as he led me out of the office.

"So babe, what's your first class?" he asked with his arm around my shoulders.

"Music" I stated unwrapping his arm from around me.

"Ah so your American. I think that's hot." He said winking at me and putting his arm around my waist tightly. We walked down the hall until we reached the class. While walking Andrew got a few praises for I guess being with me. If he thinks he has a chance with me then he's got something different coming.

We walked in the class with Andrew still holding on to me tightly. I can feel bruises starting to form in my side.

"Um can you let go. Your hurting me" I said once we got inside. He let out a small chuckle.

"That's not how this works. You are now mine. You will do as I say or else bad things will happen. Got it?" I will be lying is I say I wasn't scared. I just nodded as he led me to my seat.

"Look I have a different class but you will meet me outside this door when class is over and you will go now where." I just nodded as he stood up and left. The teacher came walking in and messing with stuff on their desk. I was sat in the back so I took the chance to look at my side. Sure enough there were 4 bruises where his fingers where.

"That looks bad" a voice from next to me said. I quickly pulled my shirt back down and looked up to see Michael.

"Uh yeah well not really. I just uh hit my side." He laughed a little.

"Your a bad liar." He took the seat next to me and Luke soon came in and sat in the seat on the other side of me. I have been here for less then an hour and I already hate it.

Music class turned out to be pretty boring. The teacher said we have to either perform in front of the class or we can make a music video and present that. I could probably get my dad to help me make a music video.

The bell soon rang telling us class was over. I put up my few notes that I took and stood up.

"Tale, what's your next class?" Luke asked. I looked at my times table to see I had chemistry.

"Uh chemistry." He laughed a little and put his arm on my shoulder.

"Looks like we have chemistry together." He said with a wink. I laughed and pushed him off me.

"What about me?" Michael asked with a pout.

"What about muke?" Michael wined. I laughed at the name.

"What's muke?" I asked.

"You see the girls here like to make up bromances for us so we are muke. Calum and I are cake and Michael and Calum are Malum." I laughed at Luke's statement.

"Tale! Come on!" I looked up to see Andrew standing their. I nodded and grabbed my stuff and walked to him. He grabbed my waist tightly an I winced a little from his pressing on my bruises.

"Bro loosen your grip. Your obviously hurting her." Michael said trying to defend me. Andrew just laughed.

"You think I care" Andrew said with a scoff.

"Let's go" he muttered as he started pulling me to my next class.

"I don't want you around those guys. They are bad news." Andrew started to say.

"Better then you" I muttered but he obviously heard. He stopped and slapped me. There's another bruise.

"Don't talk back to me bitch." He said pulling me again. I turned to see Michael and Luke looking at me already with sympathy in their eyes.

"Um, Andrew, do you think we could stop at my locker?" He muttered fine as we walked to my locker.

I opened it up and put the books I didn't need until after lunch in and closed it. Andrew pulled me away before I could lock it and walked me to my class.

"Don't talk to those guys got it?" I nodded quickly an went to turn away but he grabbed my face and before I could say anything he pecked my lips. He let go an walked away. I waited until he was gone and wiped my lips and went in the bathroom.

There was a red mark on my cheek from where he hit me. I got out my make up and covered it up the best I could. I want to go back to New York or transfer schools. I don't need this abuse on my first day. I tear slipped out from my eye from the growing pain on my hip. Just as I was about to leave Alice came rushing in.

"Oh my god Tale!" She exclaimed grabbing my fave gently and looking at my cheek.

"Who did this?" She asked while wiping the few tears that slipped out.

"It doesn't matter. I need to get to class." I said as I pushed past her. To my disadvantage, Luke, Michael and Calum were all outside the bathroom. I tried to walk past but Michael grabbed my wrist an lifted my shirt so my growing bruises are.

"Oh my god" Luke and Calum said together. I pushed my shirt back down and pulled my wrist away from Michael and headed to the front of the school. I quickly ran from the school and to my street. I walked the rest of the way until I got to my house. My dad isn't home which I still find weird and the front door is locked so I climbed the stairs leading to my balcony. I opened the door and threw my stuff on my bed. I walked to my dads room and opened a drawer to find a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. I took them and walked back to my balcony. I lit the lighter and placed it by the end as I put the cigarette in my mouth. I took a puff as I sat on the wood letting my feet dangle. My dad won't care that I skipped the rest of school. He dropped out himself in 10th grade. He's proud that I made it all the was to 12th.

I sat there until the cigarette was finished and put it in the ash tray I had. I went back inside after locking my door an walked into my bathroom to shower. I want to leave already.
