"Omg that's just reminded me!" Libby said in excitement. I know for sure i wasn't excited.

"What?" I asked, no expression what's so ever on my face.

Just as i finished what i was saying the bell chimed, hurting my ears. All the guys jumped out of the seats and me and Libby stayed there for a second waiting for them to go. When they had, we stood up and started slowly walking.

"What's going on with you and Harrison, i thought you were with Ollie." She said quietly just to make sure no one heard.

"Erm yeah I'm still with Ollie." I said even quieter.

"Well you slept in Harrisons bed, with hm." I could tell she was smiling without even looking at her.

"I was drunk Libby, i didn't know what i was doing and plus its not like we cuddled."

"That's a lie, i know you cuddled i can see it on your face." Her smile was wider than I'd ever seen it before.

"Whatever, i need to get to class." I said trying not to sound annoyed, i didn't want to push her away but i didn't want her to know to secrets I'm keeping.

I left her as she went in the opposite direction, hoped i wasn't too early. The last thing i wanted was to be in a room alone with Ollie.

I opened the doors in the drama theatre to see multiple people already inside. I walked over to the bag rack to hang my bag and take my shoes off as i did at the start of every drama lesson.

I slightly bent down to reach to my shoes when i felt someone's body press against me. My heart stopped beating when i heard a terribly familiar voice.

"If you tell anyone about anything, i'll hurt you." Ollie said in a stern and quite tone.

I froze, why does this always happen. I so desperately want to say something, some cool comeback like i usually do. I couldn't. I was more than scared.

"I'll hurt you in ways you didn't know you could be hurt." He said, I found the courage to stand back up fully but by the time i had he was gone.

I turned around to see the whole room was filled with everyone in my class, so i had to put a different face on and keep the secrets, the fear, everything tucked away behind my walls.

I sat down on a chair in a circle like everyone else. Lexi was besides me and gave me a smile and i gave her one back. I thought i was happy with my decision until i realised Ollie was sat facing me, with a smirk painted across his lips.

God that guy made me so uncomfortable.

As soon as the bell rang, everyone sprang out from their seats, or some were standing, and bombarded the barrack. I stayed sat down and waited for everyone to leave, i always did. I had my back to them all so i couldn't see what was going on but as soon as i heard it quite down i stood up. I turned round and marched over to the rack, I saw him there still but i continued in an attempt to not look weak.

I grabbed my shoes and slipped them on, i was thankful that my shoes weren't awkward to put on. I stud up and he was way to close. I continued to reach for my bag then he grabbed my wrist. He began squeezing tighter and tighter and it was painful. He suddenly had one hand on my waisted and moved closer to my ear.

"There's no way your gonna win this Riley. Don't bother trying." He whisper as his breaths against my neck pricked me like a hundred needles.

Soon enough his was gone.

I slumped down on to the bench near the wall and held my head to my hands. No one was in the room and i know there was no lesson in here next. Mr Milne was gone and i was alone in the room. Free to cry. And that's exactly what i did. I was weak and i cried because i knew he was right. I couldn't do anything, i couldn't win against him and it hurt like a bitch knowing. Knowing that he'd probably still do these things, because i didn't want to get hurt so i wouldn't tell and I'd keep these secrets all hidden as they piled up.

I looked up at the clock on the wall and realised that lessons had started 15 minutes ago and i was beyond late. I flung my bag over my shoulder, wiped my eyes with the sleeves of my blaster and then almost ran out the door.

I had to think of an excuse pronto, as well as trying not look where i was going up the stairs so i wouldn't fall over.

Just as i reached the top of one flight of stairs i heard Mrs Davidson, she was a supply teacher and i knew her very well.

"Riley, what are you doing?" She asked, with a cup of tea in hand.

"Can you do me a favour?" I asked, out of breath after running up the stairs. She was always nice to me, not my brothers though. I'm pretty sure she's nice to me because she's taught all my brothers at one point and she knows their all pains in the arse. So basically I'm the favourite Owens.

"What can i do for you?" She smiled back.

"If my English teacher asks, can i say i was with you for the first 15 minutes of the lesson?"

"20 minutes now, but yes of course. How come your late?"

I moved closer to her so i could whisper. "Period" to her and she gave me and quick nod before she went down stairs and i raised up stairs. I was quite proud of my quick thinking.

I walked on the corridors because i didn't want to get told off for running and it gave me a chance to catch my breath. I approached the door and knocked, waiting for someone to let me in. When i did get let in i shut the door behind me and already felt lazers burning into my skull.

"Where have you been Riley?" Miss Gaughan asked.

"I was with Mrs Davidson." I slightly smiled, hoping it would make her less mad but it didn't seam to work.

"Sit down." She said and i hurriedly made my way to my seat next to Harrison.

I dropped my bag on the floor then sat down and Harrison was already glaring at me.

"Where have you been?" He asked quietly making sure Miss didn't hear.

"I just said i was with Mrs Davidson." I said while looking through my bag for my English book.

"You wasn't, i saw her walk past the classroom like 3 times."

"no i wasn't" I said quitter.

"What's up, you have puffy eyes." He finally faced me and stared deeply into my eyes.

"Gezz, are you some detective or something?" I said looking for a pen to write with.

"I am when it comes to someone i care about."

"I appreciate it but I'm Fine Harrison."

"You sure, you know you can talk to me right?"

"Yes I'm sure and i know."

"I don't believe you but you better start writing something before Miss Gaughan has a fit." He laughs slightly which made me laugh also.

"Good point." 

I put my pen to paper as i started writing down the date and the title. I felt an ache in my writ as it moved along the paper, I ignored it at first because it was probably nothing, but when i looked down i saw a purple bruise forming. How was i supposed to hid this?
