Alyssa's Point of View

"Alyssa?" A hand brushed my shoulder as I stayed curled up in my blanket. My mom finally bought me new sheets that are fluffy and a lot more comfortable. "Alyssa?"

"What?" I managed to let out.

"We have to leave in twenty minutes."

"I'm not going."

"Alyssa, it's the second day of school. You have to go so I won't get lost." I heard a smile in his voice but he doesn't understand how serious I'm being.

"Luke can show you, I'm not going." I felt him sit on my bed, making my whole body bounce.

"I guess I'm not going either then."

"Whatever." I flipped over, facing the opposite direction of Harry and laid for another five minutes. When I noticed he was still there I sighed, "Fine! I'm getting up."

I heard a smirk and he got up, letting me get ready for school.

Harry's Point of View

"It looks like we have last period together like A-days; study hall." I looked to Alyssa and smiled.

Even though she isn't wearing any make up, her hair is thrown up in a messy bun, and she is back to her black and grey wardrobe; I still like this Alyssa better. The only thing I don't approve of is her many bracelets which are now required because of her fresh cuts.

"Yeah, whatever."

I took her arm and stopped her from moving. "Stop being so sour."

"So what?"

"Sour. I heard your mum say it the other day." She laughed,

"Yeah, my "mum" said it. That means you don't." At least I got her to smile.

The first bell rang and we went our separate ways. I looked back to her before she got to her classroom and I found Amber walking with her, throwing her arm around her shoulder. I swear if she hurts her I'll--

"Hey sexy." Ughh, Crystal. For being such a big school these girls sure do know how to find me.

"Hey Crystal." I continued walking, hoping to find my first class sooner than later.

"So, what are you doing after school today?"

"I think I'm going out with the White's family."

"Oh." She said in disgust.

"Yeah, well this is my class," I smiled, "I guess I'll see you later." She giggled,

"Actually this is my class too." Great.

"Awesome!"

Alyssa's Point of View

I got to study hall and sat towards the back of the class like normal. I rather people not notice me. Amber already embarrassed me enough earlier today. Harry still isn't here but it's probably for the best. We don't have the same lunch on B-days so I couldn't walk with him here.

I opened my literature book, Frankenstein, and began reading the first chapter. I've never read this before but I'm looking forward to it.

"Hi." Harry's arrived and out of breath.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I thought I was going to be late because I couldn't find the class."

I exhaled through my nose, letting out a small laugh, "surprise, surprise."

"I'm doing better today!"

"Hi, class. I'm Mr. Crow and this is study hall. I know you're just going to find a way to talk to each other anyway so keep the volume down and I don't really care what you do. I'll pass around a sheet for you to sign so I know you're here."

His monotone voice and dark brown uni-brow didn't bother me. If I can speak to Alyssa, he can have two heads and I wouldn't care.

"I saw Amber talking to you."

"You're very observant." She kept her eyes locked on Frankenstein. Why does she have to be so moody today?

"What teacher do you have for literature? I have Mrs.--"

"This is study hall Harry. I have work to do. Please just leave me alone."

I stared at her, looking for some sort of sign as to why she's so grumpy. I noticed her eyes a little puffy and her right wrist. There's a band-aide with fresh blood seeping through. She's really pissing me off.

"Alyssa." When my voice was no longer pleasant she looked at me. I looked to her wrist.

"It's nothing. One of the wounds opened up." She's lying. "I swear Harry!"

Alyssa whispered her words but I know she's lying.

"What'd you use? Did you bring your own knife?"

"Stop it! You can't just come here and start telling me what to do!" She threw her things in her bag and zipped it up.

"Where are you going?"

"Mrs. uhh--"

"White. It's Alyssa White. I've only had you as a teacher for my freshman and sophomore year for math." She then turned around and looked at me, "Find another ride home." Alyssa finished off her tantrum with flicking me off as she walked out.

Things can only get better from here, I tried to tell myself.

Notes

I still am not sure about this story...

What do you think Amber did to Lys earlier?
