Josephine's POV
   My alarm goes off and I jump out of bed, I don't bother taking a shower I just brush my teeth and brush my hair back into a low pony tail, I take a look at my black hoodie and my sweatpants, and I look over to my wardrobe.

I put down my hoodie and sweatpants and move to my wardrobe, I push the door open and take a look at the clothes mom keeps buying for me but I never wear them.

I take out a blue crop top and put it on, I also take out a matching skirt that hangs just above my knee, I put on an oversized jacket I take a look at the merrow, I put on a lipgloss and put on some Snickers.

I examine myself  and as I'm about to take the clothes off my mom yells for me to came down.

So I just pick up my bag and head out of my room.

" Your breakfast is on the table honey. . ." She says turning to look at me and stops talking.

" I know I look like a weirdo, let me go take it off"  I say moving to the stairs.

" No you look different."

" In a good way or a bad way?" I ask biting my lower lip.

" In a good way " she smiles at me.

" Thanks Mom " I smile at her.

" Kathryn already left" she says.

" Bitch!" I say under my breath

" Hey don't call her that ! " She says and I take an apple and a chocolate milk and give her a quick smile before heading outside.

I take out my head set and put on Fine China

I want to call Mercy but I decide against it, I want to take in the beautiful view, I have no idea why I'm in such a  good mood today but I'll take it.

Within minutes I'm in school and I can't help but notice all the attention I keep getting, I don't like it much, every body keeps staring at me as I walk past them.

" Josephine?" I hear Mercy say.

" Yea, what do you think."

" You look hot!"

" Thanks " I smile at her.

" Did Josh tell you to stop dressing like a grandma?" She smirks.

" I'm about to reply when I feel someone's hand on my hip. I turn around to see who it is.

It's Jack Taylor.

" What the hell" I say trying to push his hand away.

" It's just me baby "

" Baby? " Mercy cuts in.

" I wasn't talking to you" Jack snaps at Mercy.

" Don't fucking touch her " Mercy fires back.

" I can do whatever the fuck I want" he says trying to kiss me but I move away.

" Let go of her you bastard!" I hear someone say and as Jack is about to turn to see who it is he delivers a punch to his nose.

" Hero!" Mercy screams.

" Don't you fucking touch her again" he says delivering another punch to his face.

" Hero stop! " Mercy keeps screaming and I just stand there and watch how odd the fight is.

Mercy moves to Hero and tries to push him away from Jack's body but It's no use.

" All of you to class" Miss Benson says but Hero doesn't stop punching him, he keeps hitting him  untill Miss Benson yells at he.

" Hero! Jack! To the principal office! Now!" She says and they start to walk away.

" Now  all of you, get to class!" She yells at us and everyone starts to walk towards their various classes.

I walk into my chemistry class and Miss Benson walks in she doesn't say anything else she just starts to teach and the class goes on like that, a very awkward and weird silence.

~~~~~~~

" Hey girl" Mercy says taking a sit.

" Hey " I send her a cold reply.

" You okay? "

" Yea, I'm fine I just. . . It's nothing " I say giving her a quick smile and focusing on my salad.

" Where is Gwen?" She asks looking around.

" I have no idea, I haven't seen her today."

" Yh me too, I wonder where she is"

" Oh here she comes" I say pointing to Gwen that is running towards us and takes a sit next to me.

" Were where you?" I ask.

" I got my hair stock in my locker" she says pulling out a strand of her hair and showing us her hair.

" Oh"  Mercy says nothing bothering to ask any more questions, but I know better than to believe her, I mean her hair looks okay, nothing like it was in between a locker at all, something doesn't add up but I'll let it slide for now, if anything Mercy doesn't like when I do this, Mercy is a very fee person, but she has her down side.

I give her a quick smile before I go back to my salad.

~~~~~~

I walk into the class and take a sit and Hero is right behind me, it sucks that we are having class together, I don't want to see him, not that he did anything wrong I mean jack tried to kiss me against my will and Hero came to my rescue but still it was wrong for him to get into a fight.

I suddenly feel the urge to go over there and give him a slap, but I respect myself and take a sit as Miss Williams walks in and starts to talk.

" I'm sorry, I know your upset" he whispers into my ear, and I take in a shaky breath.

" Why did you get into a fight?" I whisper to him.

" I don't like seeing someone else touching you" his words take me by surprise.

I don't say anything I just look at Miss Williams.

" Josephine I'm sorry" I can't hear him say this anymore, where is the rude asshole I grew up to know?

" Please forgive me" he says, his voice in a low voice,not at all like he was yelling minutes ago.

" Josephine!"

" Okay " I say a little too loud which cause everyone to look at me.

" Miss Langford, do you have a problem with what I'm saying?" She asks.

" No " I say.

" Good now. . ." She says turning to continue what she was saying.

" Thank you " he whispers and his hot breath touches my ear.
