Brooklyn watched as the trees whizzed past as Brandon drove them to school. She was aware that Brandon was talking, but her concentration wasn't on him.

"Hey." Brandon gently poked Brooklyn and she looked at him. "You alright?"

"Fine," Brooklyn smiled.

"You sure?" Brandon frowned. "Is it to do with Harry? Why was he with you last night-"

"I'm fine," she said. "I just have a lot on my mind today."

"Do you want to talk about-" Brandon stopped talking when Brooklyn shook her head.

"I want to forget about it," Brooklyn said stiffly and Brandon nodded in understanding.

"Well, you've got the wonders of school to look forward too," he said sarcastically and Brooklyn chuckled as he drove into the school car park.

"Thanks for the lift," Brooklyn smiled.

"Do you need me to accompany you to your first class?"

"Alice said she'll meet me by my locker," Brooklyn said. "We have bio together."

"Cool," Brandon nodded and Brooklyn got out of the car. She walked into school and mentally high fived herse

    Stacy raised her eyebrows in shock, not expecting Brooklyn to have a backbone. "Who do you think you are, you bitch," Stacy scowled."According to you I'm someone who has been kicked out and is now living with people that hate her," Brooklyn said with a shrug. "But just so you know for future reference, I'm Brooke, it's been lovely to meet you, but you my pizza is more important than you and currently it's going cold." Brooklyn smiled brightly and took a bite of her pizza. "Also, I think Violet wants her seat. So can you move along?"Stacy looked from Brooklyn, who was smiling innocently, to Alice and Sasha who were trying to contain their laughter and she glared at Brooklyn. "Watch your back," Stacy snarled and abruptly stood up. She walked away in a huff and narrowly avoided barging Violet's shoulder who sat down opposite Brooklyn."That was amazing!" Alice whispered and grinned like a Cheshire Cat."Brooke, I haven't known you for that long, but do you mind if I confess my love for

    Brooklyn went straight into town after school with Sasha, Alice and Violet. Apparently there was a local diner that was a hangout spot for the majority of high school kids and Violet had a part time job there.A bell chimed when the girls walked into the diner and Violet rushed off into the back to get changed, ready for work. The rest of the girls sat down in a booth with bright red seats and Brooklyn gazed over the menu."The milkshakes here are amazing!" Alice gushed, pointing to a part on the menu. "You've got to get one.""I thought you wanted to be healthy?" Sasha said, raising an eyebrow Alice."Screw healthy, I'm running away and declaring my life to chocolate," Alice smiled and Brooklyn laughed."I think I'll get a strawberry milkshake," she said as Violet came out in a pale pink tshirt and skirt with a white apron tied round her waist."Don't comment on the uniform," Violet said as she walked over to the girls."This will be the only time where you will see her in something

    "Ah, good!" Violet smiled when she walked into the room. "Sorry if I'm rushing you, but I'm a little stressed.""It's fine," Brooklyn chuckled and Violet handed her a notepad and pen."Right, out you go and start taking orders!""Yes ma'am," Brooklyn joked and walked out into the busy diner. Violet directed her to a table and Brooklyn smiled brightly when she reached the table."Hi guys, what can I get for you?" Brooklyn asked and proceeded to jot down the orders on the notepad. When she was done she walked over to Violet who told her to hang up the orders in a hatch behind the counter so the chef could read them. Once the chef had cooked the food he would ring the bell and then you'd have to deliver to the food/drink to the correct table."Simple enough," Brooklyn smiled and made her way over to another table, greeting them with a cheery smile. She took their order and then gave the order to the chef who was a middle aged Italian man with a bit of a beer belly, but he seemed lovely.

    The diner had died down slightly so Brooklyn joined Sasha and Alice as soon as she could. "I can't stand it!" Brooklyn whispered. "What is his problem?""Huh?" Alice wondered, taking a large gulp from her third milkshake."Harry!" Brooklyn panicked. "He won't stop staring and he said he wanted me and he makes me feel all funny inside and I don't like it!""Whoa, calm down, girl," Sasha said. "He said he wanted you?""Well, technically he said he wanted to order me which is really weird and creepy," Brooklyn said, her words coming out at a thousand miles an hour. "And whenever I look at him he's staring at me with like an emotionless face and I can't stand it! He makes me feel so weird and on edge! Like I can't even tell what he's thinking because he's just so... Blank and cold!""He makes you feel weird how?" Sasha wondered."That's what you're taking from what I just said!" Brooklyn asked.Sasha nodded. "Weird how?"Brooklyn frowned and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, he makes

    "Brooklyn, thank you so much for your help today," Ben said once the last customer left the diner. "You've been a lifesaver.""It wasn't a problem," Brooklyn smiled. "It was nice doing it again, reminded me of being back home.""In that case, I would like to offer you a permanent position here," Ben said and Brooklyn's mouth dropped. "That's if you want it?""O-of course!" Brooklyn gasped. "Thank you!""No, thank you," Ben grinned. "I'll email you your shift patterns by the end of the week and get Violet to tell you any important information. Would you be happy starting next week?""That'd be great," Brooklyn said, nodding eagerly. "Thank you so much.""It's not a problem," Ben said and checked his watch. "It's getting late, I'll let you get off.""Thank you, Ben," Brooklyn beamed and grabbed her bag and her clothes and headed to the door of the diner. "See you next week." She waved to Ben and stepped out into the cold night air. Brooklyn shivered and and rubbed her arms and started t

    "My middle name is Paige? Truth or lie.""Truth."Correct.Brooklyn scowled at Harry. "I don't like you. Truth or lie?"Harry stopped the car and Brooklyn realised they were outside of her house. "Oh," Harry chuckled and turned to face Brooklyn, leaning forward like he did in the diner. "You wish that was the truth." Harry slowly raised his hand and Brooklyn froze when he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, but he was careful not to touch her skin. "But it's not, babe."Brooklyn swallowed and quickly span round. She fiddled with the door handle, but eventually shoved the door open and stumbled out. "You're delusional, Harry," she said."Lie.""Goodbye, Harry ," Brooklyn said quickly and slammed the door. She rushed into her house without glancing back at Harry."Brooke," Brandon said. He was walking down the stairs opposite the front door. "Who was that that dropped you off?""Nobody," Brooklyn said dismissively and dumped her damp bag on the floor."What are you wearing?" Brandon

    "Well, um... I'll... Er-""I think you'll find the word you're looking for is thanks," Harry said, turning in his seat to look at Brooklyn who was fumbling with her bag."Yeah... Um, thanks," Brooklyn coughed and reached for the door handle. She opened the car door, but she was stopped by Harry who reached out and grabbed her bag. Missing her hand by millimeters.Harry leaned forward and Brooklyn stiffened. This was happening too much with him.He was getting too close."I won't touch," Harry said lowly, his green eyes flickering to Brooklyn's wide blue ones. "Tomorrow? Same time?""N-no, it's fine," Brooklyn said quickly and shook her head."See you then.""I said no," Brooklyn said."And I don't really care," Harry shrugged."No," Brooklyn said sternly. "No more lifts. Harry, please leave me alone.""And why would I do that?""Because I asked you to," Brooklyn said softly."I don't like being told what to do," Harry said slowly. "Tomorrow. Be there."Brooklyn pulled her bag from Har

    I walked into my last class of the day. I was late.The teacher scowled at me, but realised I was new and told me to take a seat.I looked around the class and spotted Eli sitting with Hampson in the middle of class. My eyes landed on Emma who was seated with her orange looking new friends, she had an empty seat next to her. The next empty seat was next to Kent who smirked darkly at me. The final empty seat was near the back of the class, next to Jasper and Ivan.I looked at Kent and Emma before gritting my teeth and walking to the back of the classroom and taking a seat next to Jasper.He turned to me with a small smirk. "You must really hate the other two if you're choosing to sit next to me.""You have no idea," I muttered."What did the guy say to you? When you kicked him the day you got here?" Jasper asked quietly."What do you care?" I snapped."It must've been something pretty bad," Jasper pushed."It's none of your business," I said and glared at him. "Now do me a favour and s

    Jasper rolled his eyes and I gritted my teeth. I did not like this Kyle kid. "Fell off my motorbike," I snapped."Really? Must've been a rough night," he said and I glared at him."Yeah, just a little bit," I growled and I felt Eli's hand clamp around my wrist as I started to rise from my seat."Stop it, Kyle," Jasper said with a chuckle."So, how are you guys enjoying it here?" Sammy asked."The people are assholes," I said."Daisy," Eli warned. "Calm your anger.""Schools not that bad, what's there to be angry about?" Sammy smiled and I gave him a murderous glare."I'm sure she can think of something," Jasper murmured."I'm going," I said and looked at Eli. "Get off me.""Don't rise to them, princess," Eli said in my ear, but I ignored him."Let go of me, Eli," I hissed and tried twisting my arm from his grasp.When he didn't let go I scowled at him and grabbed the pen off the desk and aimed it towards his thigh."Fucking hell, Daisy!" He snapped and caught my wrist."Eli, I'm not k

    "Does it hurt?" Eli asked."My thumb? No," I said. "My hand," I raised my left hand that had the bandages on. "Fucking kills. They even put stitches on my hand. I didn't realise it was that bad.""How hard did you punch the wall?" Carter asked."Hard enough to split my skin open," I shrugged."What about the stitches on your head?" Tom frowned."Police brutality," I said simply as Eli drove into school."What are you going to tell people if they ask what happened?" Eli asked me when we got out of the car."Fell off my motorbike or something," I shrugged and he walked up to me."You look like shit," he said."Thanks, you're really up for cheering me up today, aren't you?" I snapped.Eli grabbed my arm and I didn't tense at all. He pushed the sleeve of my jumper up and ran his fingers over the needle marks. "We'll find out what they did," he said lowly and I pulled my arm away, pushing my sleeve down and crossing my arms over my chest."You can't act like you know what they did," I said

    "Everyone piss off!" Eli called. "Blake, help me check her injuries."Blake and I followed Eli through the house into the room reserved only for us. Eli passed Blake his phone and Blake nodded."The police called," Blake said. "You're meant to be behaving yourself, Daisy."I could tell that Blake clearly knew it wasn't the police he spoke to.Eli was next to me and he pulled his shirt off and passed it to me."What happened to your hand?" Blake asked as I turned my back to them and pulled my top over my head."I punched a wall," I said truthfully and unclipped my bra. "One too many times." I slipped Eli's tshirt on and quickly took my leggings, underwear, socks and shoes off and bundled them up, passing them to Eli. We had to burn all of my clothes, they could be bugged.Eli walked out of the room and and Blake pointed to the couch."You're meant to be working on your anger, Daisy," Blake said and I couldn't help but smirk."Fuck off," I scoffed and I laid down on the sofa.

    I had tried to stay awake, but sleep caught up with me and I was jolted awake when the door flew open and Jasper walked in."Is it time for more questions?" I asked sarcastically.He looked at my bloody hand that was throbbing. "What did you do?""I punched the door. Nothing happened. So later I punched it again, and again, and again," I shrugged. "It's okay, I can still do this with it." I stuck my middle finger at him and he narrowed his eyes at me."Get up," he said and grabbed my arm. He handcuffed my arms behind my back and then pushed me out of the room. We didn't go far, only down the hall and into a white room with hospital beds and medical equipment. It stank of antiseptic and bleach."Is this her?" A middle aged woman asked, walking up to us in a white lab coat.Jasper nodded."Uncuff her, Jasper," the woman frowned. "You're treating her like a criminal!""She is," Jasper shrugged."You've done worse," the woman said and Jasper unlocked the handcuffs. "Hello, Daisy, I'm Made

    One hour:Nothing had happened.Two hours:Still nothing.Three hours:I was getting pissed off.Four-The door swung open and I looked up, crossing my arms over my chest. "Nice of you to pop in," I said and narrowed my eyes at the man who walked in. He was around 40 with light blonde hair that was cropped neatly. He had piercing blue eyes and was wearing dark jeans and a white button up shirt.Somehow, he pulled it off, managing to look relatively cool, but also quite scary.I stood up and leant back against the mirror as Jasper entered the room and shut the door behind him.The man looked at me. He stood still. Stiff. But his blue eyes looked me over, darting from side to side. "Sit, Daisy," he said and walked over to the table in the middle of the room. He took a seat and looked up at me."I'm good here," I said and eyed him and Jasper cautiously."I'm sorry about the way we had to get you here-""Are you?" I challenge and the man narrowed his eyes at me, not happy about being inte

    UNKNOWN"Dad," the guy said as he walked into his fathers office. "I've found her."The man sat up in his chair and looked at his son. "Are you sure?""Positive. She's the one who killed the agent.""Good work, bring her in to be questioned and then we'll arrest her and send her to prison," the man said sharply."Dad, have you seen a picture of her?" The guy asked and walked up to his fathers desk."No, just bring her in," the man snapped.The guy took the picture of the girl and slid it across her desk. "Her name is Daisy Kellerman, and I think you should take a look," the guy said and the man sighed, picking up the crumpled picture. His expression darkened and he stiffened."Bring her in," the man said immediately. "I don't care how and find out everything you can about her.""So I assume I wasn't making a random guess about who she is," the guy said and the man took a deep breath."Bring her in. I don't care how you do it. We'll have answers then.""So, how did today go?" Blake ask

    My next class was literature and I really wasn't feeling it. I wandered around the school until I found a door that led outside. I smirked and walked round the back of the school, leaning back against the wall and reaching into my jacket pockets that I had luckily left my cigarettes in.I took one out of the packet and slipped it into the back of my jeans. I then grabbed my lighter and lit the cigarette, sighing in content.I was alone for a while, but then I footsteps and I looked to the side as the silver haired guy and Asian guy walked round the corner. There eyes landed on me and they seemed surprised to see me."First day and you're already skipping," the silver haired guy called and they walked up to me. "Are you going to walk off if we talk to you?""Not if the conversation is interesting," I shrugged."Why are you here?" The guy asked."Bored," I sighed and I pushed myself off the wall, but I didn't get far. The guy grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back. "Jesus, what's your p

    I was sitting outside of the house on the steps. It had been an hour since I had arrived and I already hated it."Hello!"I looked to the side as a little girl with pig tails sat next to me and looked up with big brown eyes."Hey," I said."I'm Lily," she said and held her hand out.I chuckled and shook it, she looked no older than 8. "Daisy."She gasped. "We both have flower names! That so cool!""Hmm," I nodded."What happened to your face?"I cursed the bruises on my face. I was a fast healer, but bruises seemed to stay for weeks. "Nothing," I shrugged."It had to be something, silly," Lily said."I was punched," I said and Lily gasped."What!""Joking," I said smoothly and chuckled at Lily who let out a big sigh."Phew," she said. "So what happened?""I walked into a door," I lied."Now that was silly," Lily giggled."It was, wasn't it?" I nodded and I stiffened when I heard footsteps. It was the guys from across the road."Sammy!" Lily grinned and jumped up from the steps and ran
