It's funny really, knowing you gave everything to that person, just for them to leave you with a hundred questions rattling in your mind. Why did they leave? Was I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? And with these questions are answers that will never come. They leave you stranded on an island with no other land or Hope. A place in which you disappear from the world. I've been broken before, he took all Hope from me, then I met this boy, strong, tall, the most beautiful brown hair which moved like the sea, taking any shape you put it in. His light blue eyes, that melted your heart and merged with them, lucky for me blue eyes were everywhere I looked, Me being the only child with brown eyes had a family of hazel greens and blues everywhere. To me, blue eyes were just like brown, overrated, but somehow he still stole my attention with those damn blue eyes.

"Hailey, darling, it's time for school" I heard mum call from the kitchen with her soft spoken voice. I get out of my daydream since I've basically been awake for 2 hours already, dreading the fact that I have school but not that I hate school to say, I hate the students, no one has been rude or bullied me, so there is no 'real' reason why I hate it but let's just say having agoraphobia isn't the nicest thing.

"Mum, do I have to go?" I ask just as I enter the kitchen to see Mum in her normal work uniform and her hair nicely tied at the back. She gave me that look, the look that says 'you're going' so with that I grab my lunch, my bag that has all my books and kiss mum goodbye. Being in year 11 isn't that bad, but god would it be easier with a car, I'm 17 and still don't have a car to drive to and from school, Mum uses her work car and dad takes the one I drive to work, him having to work from 7am to 5pm wasn't the greatest thing for me. Mum leaving at the same time I do but going a totally different way from school, and well dad, you know can't really take me. It's fine I guess, it just means I have to catch the bus and wait with the crazy kids of school, and you might think we have school buses, just buses for students but your wrong, we have to take the public buses, the buses that go by school otherwise you'll be walking. For me it's fine because there is a bus stop right next to my house just around the corner and the bus I catch for school stops right at it.

When I got to school everyone was talking, yelling, screaming even like really? Why do you need to scream this early in the morning? Some of us like our sleep and don't like to me SCREAM AT! Ugh! Anyway being the fact that it's term 3 now which would probably be the start of semester 2 for other countries, (I think) we have a year meeting to go over everything and introduce us to any new teachers and sometimes students, my group of friends always stand near the hall when we have meetings.
"Hey Hails! Over here!" Shouted one of my many loud friends, you could say that everyone knew who we were, kinda hard to miss us when all we do it be loud and have literally friends in every corner of the school. You might think there are "groups" like the popular and the nerds or "trouble-makers" but we don't have those, I mean we did in year 7-9 but we grew out of it.
"Hey guys, how are you?" I politely respond back.
"We're good, just waiting for you to get back so we can talk about this new boy" Sarah nudged me with little to no force, Sarah's what we call the "responsible" one but likes to give you a hard time if you like someone or do something stupid.
"Come on Hailey, you haven't had a boyfriend in forever! You got to get out there." Comment the dramatic and loves chaos friend, Luna.
"I don't need one" I rolled my eyes in hopes to see that I don't want to talk about it. The girls don't really know about the boy with the stupid blue eyes and perfect brown hair, and the way his laugh would make you burn up and just wanna laugh with, the boy who could and would give you the world if you asked, the boy I wished I never saw again.

"Year 11, please come into the hall and sit in your roll calls" the main teacher of our year called, to say we all love him, he is one of the most warm-heart teachers here.

A couple minutes go by which feel like hours, is when the interesting thing happens, up stands this boy who has been transferred here due to unknown reason, mainly because we weren't allowed to ask why, he stood up at the front of the hall and the first thing I notice was those beautiful, stupid, light blue eyes that stole my attention a couple weeks ago. The boy named Nolan.
