After class ends, I pack my things in my bag and I walk out the door to head to my next class. In my next class, I sit at my seat and I watch Jase Holland walk in with his friends with a big bright smile on his face. He was the most handsome guy I ever saw and I couldn't help but to admire his looks and confidence. He was one of the only boys who was nice to me and he was really smart in class. He recently got out of a relationship with Lola and things have been bitter between them ever since. I don't know how she dumped a stunning man like him. I guess he was too smart for her. I smile at my thoughts and I notice Lola in front of me.

"What are you smiling about freak?" She says to me rudely.

"N-nothing" I stutter.

"Urgh weirdo" she says before walking to her seat.

I hated how we had most of our classes together so I couldn't avoid her most of the time. I put my head down and get on with the class work silently.

The only time of the day that kept most of the students happy and energised was lunch. But that was the time I dreaded the most. Sitting on a table alone with the bullies throwing things at me, taking my food from me and laughing at me was not fun at all. I get my lunch on my tray and as I walk to my table to sit down, I'm barged by Lola and her crew. My food goes from my tray to my face, hair and chest.

"Oops" Lola says in a mocking way and the lunch hall fills with laughter at what she did to me.

"It's a good look on you freak" Lola's best friend Brianne says to me.

I couldn't help but to storm out of the lunch hall in embarrassment. I leave my tray on an empty table while running out and I go straight to the bathroom to fix myself up.

I look in the mirror to see the horrible mess I was in and I turn on the tap to wash my face. As I splash water on my face, I hear sobs and sniffles coming from one of the stalls. I quickly turn off the tap and turn around to see which stall it was coming from.

I step closer to the stalls before speaking up.

"Excuse me..are you ok in there? Whoever you are" I ask and there was a moment of silence.

"No" the person responds in a croaky voice.

"Do you need me to get you anything?" I ask politely.

"Some tissues please" the voice says so I quickly grab some tissues from the stall next to hers and I bend down to give the tissue under the door.

"Thank you" the voice says to me shortly after taking the tissues.

"Should I call a teacher or someone to help you?" I ask.

"No please don't do that" she says before unlocking the door and opening the door to reveal herself.

"Carla" I respond in shock. Her face was full of tears, her makeup was slightly smudged and I look down to see her arm covered in marks and a razor blade in her hand.

"Oh Daisy it's you" she says before clenching her fist to close up her hands. I crouch down and sit close to her.

"What are you doing to yourself?" I ask in fear and she quickly wipes away her tears.

"It's not what you think" she responds while sniffling.

"Why are you hurting yourself?" I ask and I was afraid she would try to cut herself more so I lean in forward to the stall.

She crosses her legs over and wraps her arms around her legs.

"I do it when I'm scared and anxious...I don't like being the new kid in school" she reveals and I was so shocked to hear how she felt. She seemed super confident and happy, I never would've imagined for her to do something like this.

"I know it can be scary to be the new kid but you shouldn't hurt yourself for it, you have so much to offer here and I know you'll fit right in once you get use to things here" I assure her.

"Do you fit in here?" She asks shortly after.

"No but I'm different I'm the schools weird and unpopular girl" I explain.

"That sounds awful" she responds and I could tell she felt sorry for me.

"It's just how it is but I've come to terms with it and I wouldn't hurt myself for it either" I say to her and she sniffles.

"I just miss my friends and I feel so lost here" she says and I nod my head.

"I'm sure they miss you too but you can always stay in touch with them and I'm certain you won't feel lost here for long..you just need to give this place a chance" I say to her and she nods her head in agreement to me.

I stand up and offer my hand to her to help her up and she accepts my hand and I help her stand up. She presents me a weak smile and I smile back at her.

"Thank you Daisy" she says to me in a grateful tone.

"It's ok now could you please give me the blade so you don't think about hurting yourself anymore" she hesitates slightly but she gets the courage to give me the blade and I quickly dispose the blade to stop her from hurting herself anymore.

"Come here" I say to her before taking her hand towards the sink and helping her clean up her marks. She flinches and whinges so I try to be as gentle as possible.

"I'm sorry" I say to her before tapping onto her wounds with a tissue.

"Who did this to you?" She asks me and I make eye contact with her. She pulls out a piece of pasta from my hair.

"I..tripped and i fell on my food" I stutter.

"You're lying..it was Lola wasn't it" she says confidently.

"How do you know?" I ask in shock.

"I accidentally took your journal and I couldn't help but to read some of the pages" she reveals and my eyes widen.

"Oh" I respond faintly.

"I'm sorry i know I shouldn't have done that" she says in a genuine way and I wasn't mad at her for reading my journal.

"It's ok don't worry about it" I assure her.

"So was it her?" She asks me and I look down on the floor ashamedly while nodding my head to her.

"What a bitch!" she swears and I couldn't help but to chuckle.

"Yeah she is" I agree.

"Do you have any clothes to change into?" She asks me nicely.

"Yeah it's in my bag I was actually gonna get changed now" I reveal to her and she shakes her head.

"Oh ok I'll wait outside then" she says before stepping out the bathroom to allow me to change.

I always keep spare clothes on me because of incidents like this and luckily I got my oversized hoodie today. I change into it before fixing my hair into a ponytail and putting my glasses on.

I leave the bathroom to see Carla waiting outside. I'm surprised she was still waiting for me.

"Er...thank you for waiting for me you didn't have to do that" I appreciate she waited for me but she didn't need to and I feel bad I took long in the bathroom changing.

"It's ok let's go for lunch" she says and my mouth drops slightly.

"You wanna go to lunch...with me" I ask in shock.

"Yeah, come on I'm hungry" she says before walking ahead of me so I walk quickly to catch up to her.
