Today was just like any other day. A continuing repeat of the same cycle over and over. Mariah had no energy for today but knew she had no choice.

So now currently she was walking behind isabelle and enzo who were flirting right in front of her. She didn't mind it too much it gave her freedom to get lost in her mind and not have to worry about someone trying to talk to her. Though her peaceful bliss ended too quickly as the bell went to signal that her day has just begun.

Isabelle turned round to face her and beamed "i'll see you at lunch, love you" then she turned and walked off to her lesson with enzo by her side.

She waved bye to her but simply just sighed not having the motivation at all for the day ahead, she forcefully dragged herself to her first lesson of the day which sadly was maths.

As she walked into the lesson and went to her seat she heard a girl whispering excitedly about the party last weekend.

She had a choice whether she had wanted to go to that party as belle had gone but she instead decided to sit and watch the princess and the frog for the millionth time. Though it's a brilliant movie she is upset she turned down the offer of doing something different that weekend.

The lesson simply just dragged on for way longer than needed to be though she was pleasantly surprised that she understood what they were doing.

Lately she's been trying to push herself in lessons as she had barely just scraped a's in her last report. If she got any less than that, she's sure her parents would try to sell her on ebay so she was trying hard to focus in her lessons but it was incredibly hard when a certain someone was in her class.

"Mariah!" "hmm?" she questioned forced out her daze by her teacher. She heard some kids laugh but she simply ignored them though her cheeks heated feelings malachi's eyes on her.

"what's the answer?" the teacher seemed fed up as she pointed to a question on the board. Looking at it she sighed in relief as she actually understood what to do "it's 23" she said as the teacher congratulated her and continued picking on more students.

Though throughout the day malachi wasn't the only thing on her mind. Her parents arguing had gotten worse which is surprising that it's even possible. Apparently shouting isn't enough to convey how angry they are, they now have to throw objects as-well. She was just glad that neither of her parents had hurt each other yet simply throwing the objects near the other but not directly at them luckily. Though in reality she knew it wouldn't be too long until one of them gets hurt.

They have been more strict on her as well, trying to push her even more. Personally she feels like her looking after her sister constantly and herself should be enough but her parents expect more. They got mad at her the other day because they ran out of bread and she hadn't bought any. Since when was she the one who had to buy the groceries for them, they're the adults who actually get paid.

She must've been getting lost too much in her thoughts recently as her english teacher told her he wants to talk after class which is never a good thing.

He assumed she's been acting like this because of her breakup with Kai which she was just confused how the teacher even knew about. He gave her the speech they always do about how they're here to help and that you can always talk to them.

How do they not realise if she did tell them what was going on at home, only worse would come from it. She didn't want to lose her parents. Sure they sucked but they were still her parents and she doesn't know what she would do if she lost her little sister if she was given to someone else. So instead she just nodded to the bullshit coming out his mouth and said she'll tell him if she's worried about something though she knows she won't.

Now it was lunchtime. She was sitting at the table waiting for her best friend as she wasn't hungry and decided not to buy anything.

"hey, are you sure you didn't want anything?" Isabelle questioned as she sat down opposite her with a tray of food. She let her know she was sure and belle left it at that.

"is enzo not sitting with us today?" she asked quizzically noticing he wasn't glued to her side like normal. She simply just shook her head no "he hasn't sat with his friends in a while so he's sitting with them today" "that's fair enough"

They just chatted about whatever until isabelle bought up her favourite subject "you gotta come to one party, cmon" "i don't know..." "you always tell me you want to go out, then never do"

"i know" she simply replied not knowing why she did that to herself. Belle rolled her eyes muttering sarcastically "you're so difficult" before they both started laughing and moved onto something else.

At one point this girl named carla who she recognised from malachi's group came and started to ask isabelle about something. She tuned them out knowing she wasn't here for her but after a little bit she left and they continued on with their conversations.

That's practically how all week went for her, not much at all happening. Other than the fact she would simply zone out more and more which belle noticed, worried for her. Though the week was draining she was happy when the weekend seemed to finally come round. Maybe it would be different from the others for once.
