"I can tell," Josh's small whisper was audible as he started the car again, the four of us remaining in a deadly silence that I desperately wanted to pull myself away from. I wondered how much it would hurt if I tucked and rolled from the car, there would hopefully be a chance that I could land on s

As soon as Tyler had shoved through the crowd of bodies, I followed behind with the small gap he had created for me. I was still stumbling, falling behind slightly but eventually catching up when my face pressed into his back. "Jesus." The word left Tyler's lips before he ran towards the commotion,

"He's dating my friend." "One of the girls you sit with at lunch?" He posed as a question as I nodded, still discreetly searching for her to assure myself that I would be going back home with her tonight. "So that's the reason you're walking around without a purpose." "Pretty much," We both laughe

We'd managed to find ourselves in the kitchen, surrounded by people around our age or a little older, situated around the counter or perched up on top of the tables, drinking out of plastic cups and participating in conversation. Valentina handed me a cup and poured us both a mix of vodka, beer and

"What about this one?" Valentina stepped out of her now perfectly organised closet, "and please don't just say it's nice like you have been for the last three outfits." "It's pretty," she screwed her eyes closed and looked as if she wanted to scream, "you know I'm not good at deciding this stuff, V

When I turned, however, I had not expected to see Tyler stepping closer behind me, shocking me a little more than he should've. "I do have a name," my hand flew up to my lips when I suddenly comprehended what had left my mouth. Yet in an unconventional manner, Tyler burst out laughing, clutching hi

As soon as Tyler had shoved through the crowd of bodies, I followed behind with the small gap he had created for me. I was still stumbling, falling behind slightly but eventually catching up when my face pressed into his back."Jesus." The word left Tyler's lips before he ran towards the commotion, allowing me to see what was happening despite the blur of my vision from the drinks. Harvey's hands were tightly gripping an unfamiliar guy, holding him up against a wall by the shirt whilst Josh had pinned down another, hooking his fist into the guy's cheek continuously.A couple of people had helped to pull them apart with Tyler grabbing hold of Josh and pushing his back into a wall, allowing the anger to somehow dissipate, but I couldn't see that happening with the murderous look in his eyes.With the continuing cliché of a fight happening in the middle of a party, the faint sound of sirens interrupted the short silence around the party. "Someone called the cops!" The muscular guy from

"What about this one?" Valentina stepped out of her now perfectly organised closet, "and please don't just say it's nice like you have been for the last three outfits.""It's pretty," she screwed her eyes closed and looked as if she wanted to scream, "you know I'm not good at deciding this stuff, Val. Just pick something you're comfortable in.""I don't need to be comfortable if Finn is going to rip it off of me.""Too much information," she laughed and retreated back, pulling out a red dress and changing into it. Despite my lack of knowledge in the latest trends and fashions, the dress looked better than the other ones she'd tried on.The red dress was halter neck, showcasing her incredible figure, yet maintaining the modesty that her mother would allow when she leaves the house. "I think that's the one," I announced as she stood in front of her wall-length mirror, adjusting her hair and glancing over the outfit, "and I'm not just saying that to make you finish trying them on."She s

His angered expression entered my vision and it was at that moment that I would've been happy for the floor to swallow me whole, taking me anywhere other than in front of Josh.He did nothing but point his finger towards the boy's bathroom, asking the obvious question with his challenging eyes. "I—I—um," my eyes shifted around the corridor, noticing a few more pairs of eyes, watching Josh and I, except that I was still on the floor and he was standing above me, seeming rather unusual from an outsider's point of view.I was frozen to the ground, with no attempt by myself or anyone to stand back up. "Henry—he—um," the words fell from my lips without a direction in mind, confusing my thoughts even more than before.Two hands suddenly clasped around my body, hauling me upwards with another person holding onto my shoulder. "Sorry about her," Valentina spoke first, pulling me away from Josh's confusion, "she's having a rough day." April and Valentina dragged me away from the situation, bar

A small smile was somehow plastered against my lips as I pressed down the handle of the front door, sensing its immediate disappearance when the shouting interrupted my thoughts."Do you really think I am that stupid to believe you were thinking about me whilst you were fu—"The door slamming from my sudden force had thankfully silenced my mother from expelling the continued argument my parents seemed to be having every day. She turned to my presence and positioned her shaking hands down on the kitchen counter."Hi honey," I could recognise the clear attempt at composure in her voice, striving to forget that her and my father were just ripping into each other's throats, "how was school?" My father stood beside the sink; his expression not so easily masked. I could see the clear redness of his eyes with the stress and weight of what his deplorable activities had done to this family."It was fine," the bluntness in my voice was evident as Biscuit scurried towards my legs with a glint i

To pinpoint my exact location, it would be the far end stall in the girls' bathroom and although I was unsure as to how long I had been there, I knew it still wasn't long enough to get over the shock of what had just happened.I'd barely given it a second before I ran straight out of the cafeteria, not having even looked into the eyes of the person I'd never been that close to before.The proximity lingered against my skin as chills ran up and down my arms at the mere thought of what was going through Josh's head right now. He hadn't said a word after it had happened, although I'm not sure I had given him much chance to.I was unable to gauge the reaction of everyone else around me, including my friends, but then I'm sure I would rather not know what had happened after I left the room.Everyone in the halls had turned to the strange girl running into the bathroom, oblivious to the fact that I was running for my life."Savannah?" Valentina's voice echoed off the walls of the bathroom,

I'd always been fascinated about the differences between the male and female mind, notably the conversations I'd have with Henry would seem to cement that particular theory, including the current one we were having right now."I'm not saying that women should be in the kitchen," Henry used his hands for emphasis, running one of them through his chocolate brown hair with the stress of his incorrect statement at the beginning of our conversation. "It's just a lot more common for you girls to be in them than men," seeing as the conversation had begun with Henry stating that "women belong in the kitchen", he had somehow managed to dig himself a bigger hole than when he had started.Valentina looked as if she wanted to pull her hair from the scalp, affirming her strong belief that Henry was incorrect in this conversation. Although, debates like this had become a rather common occurrence at the lunch table for us all. "You say one more thing," she outstretched her finger with authority towa
