'I've always wondered why the sky is blue, why the grass is green and why the sun is yellow, but the only thing I haven't wondered is myself, where do I fit into all of this. Where does my story start?' -Unknown

"Adrian did what?" Megan's eyes are wide open as she drops her water. "Adrian made me noodles, which may I add tasted awful, but he tried, then we watched Frozen together," I say, but why am I totally calm about this?

"I knew you guys would like each other," Sasha says, smiling. I give her a pointed look, "Bye the way, what were you doing with Luke after school, are you guys like friends now?" I ask, Sasha twirls her hair around her index finger, a habit of hers when she is nervous.

"Seriously, first Adrian and you, now Luke and Sasha, you guys are like popular and I'm in the trashcan eating scraps," Megan says, dramatically crying. Tara soothes circles on her back. "It's ok, its a hard-knock life for us."

Sasha rolls her eyes and looks at me. "Luke and I are friends and after the experiment in science, Megan ran as soon as the bell rang, I was frustrated since she's my ride home, so Luke offered me a ride and I hung around his house for a while, it was exceptionally huge and I loved his charisma."

Interesting, I give an amused face. "Why did you ask Adrian the 'Devil-Face' have to come over?" I ask, feeling dumbfounded. "Well duh - you said your hungry and bored, everyone else was busy and I figured Adrian would be of some company to you," She winks.

I narrow my eyes at her. "Adrian and I are friends, but I'm going to break the news that I can't be."

"Why?" Megan asks bewildered. "You have a chance to be somebody, what kind of idiot would give that up, you must be out of your mind!" Megan argues, questioning my motives.

I rise from my seat and sling my backpack on. "I need to bounce, see you guys later."

They wave goodbye as I go. 

The real reason, I have to do this, is because I feel like the more I hang around with Devil-face he'll break my heart. I have to distance myself away from him. He reminds me of...

I walk down into the gym, jocks whistle at me, I notice tall ones, like really tall, 6 feet tall, I feel like an ant compared to them. Adrain is nowhere to be found. I notice Tyler Grey, so I walk up to him. "Tyler where is Adrian?" I ask, frowning.

He waves goodbye to his friends and pulls me to the corner. "Whats up sweetcakes?"

"I asked where is Adrian, you know tall, devilishly handsome, a piece of-" I get cut off.

"Grey, changing rooms now!" A dark voice calls out. Tyler doesn't even glance at me, his face impassive as he walks off into the distance.

"And you.." He begins. I face the coach of OakBridge High. "Hello Coach, how are you doing?" I asl, scratching my head, I glance around, just me great.

"What're you doing in here, squirt." Coach narrows his eyes on me, suffocating the air out of me. "I just wanted to sign up for..." I look around for flyers of sports which are currently available. "I want to sign up for Netball," I say, smiling nervously, God save me? I don't!

"Follow me, Squirt." The nickname 'Squirt' is basically saying amateur, a nobody, I follow the coach to the changing rooms.

"Sign the leaflet on the noticeboard and come to training tomorrow after school." He smirks before walking off, talk about weird. The coach of this school seriously freaks me out? I mean it's pretty crazy how finding one jock can make you join the netball team by mistake. I was so scared, so I just joined. But hey, I love netball so that's a first for everything.

I finish signing the leaflet. "Audie?" A familiar voice intervenes my thoughts. I turn around and my gaze meets with the devil himself. "Adrian, what're you doing here?" I mentally facepalm myself, it's normally vise versa and I was finding him.

He chuckles. "No what are you doing, here?" I bite my lip, and point towards the leaflet, he stares at it, his eyes rolling down as he stops and his mouth stays in a thin line. He then gives me an amused face. "You're joining the netball team?" His face bewildered.

"Yeah, so what? I can join whatever the hell I want." I say, he pulls his hand through his hair and sighs. "Audie, the girls on that team don't play, but If you say so, I'll approve." He winks.

Before he walks off. "By the way, why were you looking for me, Tyler told me?" he adds, I keep a blank face, hiding emotion. "I- it's nothing."

"K, bye."

I should really tell him I can't be his friend. Before this advances. I feel a tight knot forming in my throat.

"Honey, I'm sorry about yesterday, I was busy that I forgot about you, are you mad at me?" My mother asks, apologising at the top of her lungs. I roll my eyes," I do, but I just can't believe you'd forget me, like that, not even remember to leave me any money for food, so I had to ask some devil to come over to cook for me." Her eyes spark and her lips curve into a smirk.

"Details now!" She sits next to me on the couch, were watching Pretty little liars. "So, he made bad noodles, which were seriously burnt, but his effort was cute, watching him struggle and I found out he hates Frozen!" I say, definitely shocked still. My mother's mouth is wide-open. "Seriously, no one hates Frozen! it's so cool."

"I know right," I agree, after a while, we watch a few episodes of Pretty little liars. 

(A/N: SPOILER: SKIP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ, I REPEAT SPOILER!!)

"Can you believe Spencer was A.D? This show wasn't planned, I would've loved If Aria was A.D. I mean she did the shush thing in the openings, before her friends, It started with Aria at the beginning, then it changed like that," I explain, my mom nods along.

"I can't believe Spencer's evil twin killed Wren and made ashes out of him, and what about Alex and Mary Drake kept into a dollhouse with Mona, will they ever get out?" My mom shakes her head, as we turn off the T.V. Pretty little liars finale was just unplanned, and that's our honest words. 

(SPOILER IS OVER!!)

I smile and get up as I head to the bathroom,  my mother heads to the kitchen. I lock the door behind me and stare in the mirror. Am I different?

No.

Were all the same no matter what.

Jayden Parker, you were my ruin, you scarred my heart, I'm pretty sure if I meet you, you'd be the one to pull the trigger and end me.

Are you still there Jayden? Have you changed?

I doubt it, once a bully, always a bully.

I wash my face, my skin looks pale, am I ill?

I decided to take some pills to bring colour to my face, I take anti-depressant pills, the doctor said it helps when I'm depressed, back then I took a heavy load of them. The bullying was too much.

(Flashback)

I waited for Sasha to leave class we were going to go to the park today, after school and maybe get some ice cream as it's a hot sunny day.

Sasha leaves her class and smiles at me. "Ms Gunther is really breathing down my neck for the homework." She says, sighing.

We reach the park, then we see them...

The bullies who pick on us every day, and they even call their older brothers who look like bad boys to mess with us. My mom always asked me, why I come home with scars and bruises? She asks the head of the school, Mrs Beevile, who says she'll look into it.

Jayden Parker, the worst of them all. A tear slips down my cheek, Sasha and my run before the notice, but that doesn't stop their brothers from stopping us from running, we bump into them and apologise.

"Sorry, can we please pass through?" I say, keeping a blank face and not meeting their gaze. He pulls my chin up ."Look at me." He demands, a smug look on his face.

I bite back the tears, a tight knot forming in my throat. "I, please I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I apologise.

"Not good enough, fucked up wrench." He kicks me in the stomach to which I land on the floor. My ribs are aching, and my teeth have fallen out.

Sasha runs after me. "Audie!" She yells.

The bad boys laugh as they beat us all up. Then the bullies in our school who can't face their own battles, Jayden, Noah, and Alfie laugh at us and bro shake with their brothers whoo walk off.

Then the bullies kick us and punch us. What did we do to deserve this?

I then blacked out.

Opening my eyes, I'm met with my worried mother and doctors. "W- what happened?" I ask, my voice aching, as I try to speak.

"Yo- the bullies, beat you up," a tear slips down my mom's cheek, "they found you and Sasha out cold in the park. I'm so, so sorry."

The doctors excuse my mom for a minute, he talks to me. "You're a brave girl facing those bullies, you're a brave girl, Aurella." The doctor, whose name reads. 'Adam' says, his brown eyes smiling at me. I smile weakly and rest.

"Where is Sasha?" My voice cracks. "In the other room, rest and you'll see her soon." They reply nonchalantly, I heave a sigh and rest closing my eyes shut, thankful Sasha is safe.

***

Days went by and the bullies didn't show themselves. I heard a rumor that Jayden moved towns, something happened to his family so he had to run off, that coward, never able to fight his own battles. 

My mom and Sasha's are great friends, they said we'd move towns.

OakBridge.

"I'm sure everything we'll be better." My mom assures Sashas's.

"Yeah, I hope so."

We start a new school and meet new friends, Tara and Megan, two funny and amazing friends.

Sasha and I decided we don't tell our past, even though I have a more hidden past that I haven't old Sasha, like my dad. But still, we don' tell, because if we do, we threat our problems will become worse.

(end of flashback)

So now I take pills and swallow. The painful past is catching up with me and I can't run from myself anymore. I need to face it.

A tear rolls down my cheek, "Jayden Parker, curse your soul till the day I die." I whisper, and leave the bathroom and jump in my cozy bed, wrapping myself in sheets of fairy dust, sleeping until no tear slips.
