"Danielle?"

"Here." I raise my hand.

The teacher smiled and moved on with the attendance. It felt like almost yesterday when I couldn't even hear my voice. Now I didn't give a crap what people think about me and just be myself. I give thanks to my friends that helped me well changed. I really needed that in my life and now more than ever I need that change. Senior year already and this time I will make the difference where ever I walk by.

And first thing on my mission list is to clear all doubts in my head.

Keeping my homies close and my haters away. I don't believe keeping enemies close by. That is more of a threat if you ask me. And from the past mistakes I've done, I rather keep them way way way way way way...far away.

Heck that's all I've been doing.

On the first day of school bad changes happened to me. For instance, the appearance of my ex: Emilio, and the dreadful Ana which only killed whatever she touched. I had to suffer having my haters close to me and my homies far away. I had not a single friend in lunch and barely saw them in classes. I had to put up with ugly faces instead.

I remembered freshmen year when I started Highschool. To be honest that was a pretty bad year yet a five second dream come true year. Just a freaky shy nerd girl with talking issues who was a nervous wreck when I first met my first boyfriend.

Sophomore jezz another pain in the year. That year I went through many heartbreaking times and Junior that was the worse yet. To the drama with Ana all the way to Emilio and Joe. What stress for a teen like me.

This time I wasn't going to let nothing ruin anything for me.

The first day when arrived to my astronomy class, I thought I was going to die. One pair of familiar eyes glared back at me.

Emilio...

I stared back at him with hate and rage. The only reason he broke up with me was because he had to leave and guess what? He was still there. That day I felt heat run through me as I could feel his eyes every second looking back at me.

I just don't get it?

Why the hell is he glaring at me when it should be me!

I thought that class was going to be the worse when really it was only getting started.

I was back to phase one during lunch. All by myself watching people watching me being the loner. How I wished someone will come up to me and at least invite me to their table or better yet sit next to me. But noooo... People will only stare at me and walk by.

Invisible.

That's what I felt like.

Plain old invisibility.

Things got worse when I arrived to seventh period. Another pair of hateful eyes glared back at me as I arrived.

Ana....

How I hated her with all my strength. Though she wasn't a bother anymore anyways. Of course she would be glaring at me, I freaking had my revenge. She lost everything while I had all I could ever have.

Happiness.

Everytime I arrive to English class and caught her glaring at me, I would smirk back and mentally laugh at her loserness.  Yeah it felt good to be better than her.

Though this wasn't the life year I wanted. I wanted this year to be grand, epic, memorable. I grabbed courage and walked right in the counselor's office. Things will get better for me.

"Well hello there Danielle. How may I help you today?"

"I need a change of classes please." I took my seat in front of her desk.

"Alright let me see your profile here," She checked my name in the computer and found me.

"Wow Danielle why would you change? You are going great in all of your classes. If anything better than ever."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"All of your grades are perfect and your English has ben your strongest through out your whole year in school." Counselor Mrs. Baggerman smiled.

"Wow." I smiled. I didn't even know I was doing that good in school.

"What college will you go to?" She curiously asked.

"None." I shrugged. "I'm not going."

"Why not?" Her eyes widened. "You're doing so great that you are in the recommended list for college. You got a bright future ahead of you."

No money. No time. Hate people. Hate school. Boring. I got no time for that.

"I might consider it." I kept the rest in my head. The way she said it actually sounded nice. Maybe I'll give it a try. Who knows maybe I'll move up a level and become famous or something.

"You should and about your classes," Mrs. Baggerman got to the topic again. "Which will you like to change?"

~~~~~

I bounced up and down in pure joy when I got my new schedule.
Not only was I leaving my enemies behind but also I had my friends. Maybe if I was still the same mute girl I might have never done this. I beamed in happiness as the next day I came to my new classes like a new student. And boy did it ever feel so good to be noticed. All of my teachers helped me settle in and some students were actually nice with me by lending me a spiral notebook or helping me out with the lessons.

Everything was just right except for one thing.

I didn't have Joe this year.
I miss him.

There was a time I wanted to search him myself or communicate with him through somewhere. The lack I had was that I had no social media and hunting him down might be harder than I thought. Only once I dared myself send a private message through wattpad to Frances. She was that one girl who was nice to me last year and happened to one of Joe's friend. I told her if she knew anything about Joe but she never answered me. Heck I even got her in my Pre-Calculus class and still she has said nothing to me.

Something's up alright. And I will get to the bottom of this. With or without help I just got to know where the hell that son of a bitch is.

Yeah you heard it right.

Son of a bitch.

Things might just get a little ugly.
