Ok listen people, I know this has some grammatical errors and I never pictured myself sensitive but if you hate the story...Just stop reading it. Don't feel the need to tell me.

I wake up to someone roughly nudging me awake "get up Annabelle!" The voice of my mother yells. I stirred and as I do I realize the day. Oh great September the first. The day I get to start at my new school. The day I officially let go of my true self.

See I have this pact I made with my best friend Mel. See I'm seventeen and never had a boyfriend, never had a guy look my way. According to Mel it's not because I'm incredibly ugly, she says I'm kind of pretty but it's the fact that I'm strong. Not your average damsel in distress. I'm not delicate, I want cry over a guy I'll crack his nuts open. So apparently I scare guys.

Now Mel convinced me to pretend to be one of those delicate girls and see how it goes and get some guy to like me, and what better way to do this when my mother drags me to a new school named warthog.

My names Bella if you're wondering and I'm above average length and not thin but not fat. Black hair past my shoulders with blue eyes that seem to be turning silver. I'm pretty excited about that. Oh and humongous feet. Apparently I'm not ugly but I definitely have my days.

So I get dressed like I normally would. Black skirt to halfway down my calves with a white top that has puffed up sleeves then a matching black vest slightly pressing my breasts and showing what little curves I have.

I lung my suitcase into the car and I'm off to warthogs! I make chit chat with my mother whom I'm normally pretty close with my but I want to act more like a teenager. You know, one that doesn't tell her mummy about everything.

Once we pull up I say a quick goodbye before leaving yelling a 'love you!' Over my shoulder before quickly entering train station Platform nine and three quarter. Okay I'm not feeling very smart now. Should've taken Mum with me.

I slowly transform my face from its normal scowl into one of uncertainty and worry as to look helpless yet approachable. I head to a boy whom is obviously a wizard just by looking at his scruffy old owl.

"Umm, hi, I'm new to Warthogs and I don't know how to get onto the platform. Help?" I say cracking a smile at the last part. The boy cracks a smirk "warthogs?" he asks and quirks his eyebrow up. I nod ever so sweetly and not let the awkwardness creep in.

"I don't know any such place" the boy says and pushes past me. Okay that was rude, and I'm not letting go "what is your problem? I was just asking and your obviously a wizard" the boy turns back with that smirk on but was now cold "yes but I happen to be going to Hogwarts little girl" and pushes his trolley on. I quickly realize I was pushing delicate out the window but I crack a little "Okay, I know you're a dick and all but tell me how to get onto the fucking platform or I'll curse you the second we reach school" He looks happy. Snug bastard. "Follow me, little girl" I just roll my eyes thanking Merlin I wasn't going to miss the train.

Wait, did that guy say Hogwarts? Yep, I feel stupid again. Awesome. The guy strolls and starts heading into a wall then disappears. Simple enough, just walk into a wall, I copy him but slightly more slower incase I happen to just crash into it. And end up into a stuffy train station with a crimson train looking at me. Reminds me of blood and I giggle a little. I see the boy that helped me in the corner of my eye watching me. Disappointment in his eyes at seeing me giggle.

I thought that was what girls where meant to do. I head on bored and see all the carriages are full so I go into some 11 year olds carriage and dump my luggage in there and chill in the hall. Right on my ass.

I get odd looks from those walking around but I just draw with my quill, my ink to the side.

And I see a shadow fall on me and see a girl sitting next to me and I pause my hand, now my wrist still I look at her in the way a new girl would. With my eyes begging to be adopted into her popular circle. It's going to be a long year. She looks at me and smiles as though I pass an inspection "Hey, I'm Emily, and you are?" I smile and pretend to become more relaxed "Bella" I murmur "why are you sitting by yourself?" she says and cocks her head to the side. "Everywhere was full" she looks at me with pity on her face and stand up "come on sweetie, lets go to my carriage I stand and follow.

I enter the carriage and automatically see the bimbos and realize I can't do it. I can become defenseless but I can't do it around my 'friends' I sit but will not do so after this occasion. They bombard me with questions and I look for an escape. "It's time to change into our robes" says Emily and realize that mine are in the first year's carriages. "Mine are in another carriage, I got to get them, sorry" I say with sincerity then make a hefty leave before heading to the toilets.

I hum my lullaby until I hear some interesting voices coming from one carriage and I look through the tiny window seeing robes of black, purple electricity and laughing. Then they quickly turn and they see me. All boys and one of whom had helped me get on the platform. I'm curious but not enough to enter it. I roll my eyes making them see it before continuing on my way to the toilets.

Someone grab my wrist and I turn almost running into the boy with the smirk now glaring at me. I look back casually not allowing the fear to cross my features. Looking into his stormy brown eyes I take in his looks. Strong jaw, tall, dark brown curls, oops I made a hot guy hate me.

I instantly cringe as I realize this guy is sexy and I lower my eyes allowing him a tiny silent victory until he throws me into a carriage scaring some second years yelling for them to get out. Fuck, this guy has problems, why is he doing this? I sit on the bench before sliding to the floor realizing I like this more.

"What did you see?" he demands and I just smile obnoxiously up at him "doing something you weren't supposed to eh?" I say a he drags me from the floor up into a strangle hold. I fight against it for a few moments before kicking him in his crotch. He instantly lets go and I drop to the floor like a ragdoll. But I get up quickly and withdraw my wand. "What the fuck is your problem?" I pant.

He gets up and withdraws his wand as well. I quickly send an immobilser that he blocks and send a flash of purple lightning towards me but I chuck the wand to the side and jump him. He topples over not expecting that and I punch him a few times and he gets up with his nose dripping blood then leaves.

What just happened? A guy just tried to strangle me then leaves unexpectedly. Damn warthogs, oops I mean Hogwarts.

I quickly find the first years carriage and get my robes on. The rest of the train ride is pretty uneventful.

I follow the sea of people into some carriages and got out and saw a huge black lake. I stare for minutes just looking at the beauty where only the moon shine allows you to see.

Then realizing I was going to be late I flew back up and into a huge hall. I look and it seems they are dress coded. Wait, mum said they have like 'houses' and that I need to get sorted. So I followed the first years. Everyone was looking at me as I towered above the tiny people around me and a man started reading a list. Aims Kelly! A small girl stood on a stool and got a floppy hat put on and it yelled HUFFLEPUFF and one of the tables shouted in joy. This is way weird. A few other people go up and it seems there are four houses; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Creepy names. Then I hear a "George Annabelle"

Crap. Pretty sure that's my name, I make my way up my foot steps sounding heavy and sit on the stool in front of the whole school and a gross hat gets pulled on me "Annabella, your mind is quite unusual." I smile despite myself, unusual yeah you could say, "It is quite clear where I should put you dearie," he whispers before blowing my ear drums out by shouting a "Slytherin!" it announced. I shrugged my shoulders and take a seat where the Slytherins seemed to be.

I wait for the names to be called and food appears on the table. I freak out for a second until I looked around and it seemed this was the norm. I wanted to dig in. to grab all of those drum sticks and to get my fingers greasy but I contain myself.

I felt very awkward seating there alone. No one to talk to. I become aware of my surroundings and again see that boy starring at me. What the fuck is wrong with that guy?" I know my eyes are burning up a storm. And I ask one of the older looking girls who he is "oh, that ones Riddle" the girl says "all the girls are ogling him" I say dumfounded and she laughs "yep, but he never responds to it, I'm starting to think he's gay" smiling sadly and I snort "it would make sense " and I smile back "Cecilia Grace" she says her hand outstretched and I shake it smiling to myself" I take I chip and it tastes okay so I grab a burger and am about to sink my teeth into the juicy meat before I realize I must be more girly, I grab a knife and fork and try to eat it that way but it fails I turn to Cecilia "hey, you want to eat by that lake thing?" I ask and she nods quickly and we excuse ourselves with my burger in toe.

We make a mini picnic on the damp grass and I learn that she hates fake and is not delicate but not exactly scary like me either. I find I like this girl "and why don't you have any friends?" I ask and realize what I said and gape in shock at how rude it was.

She laughs it off "my best friend was a bimbo and I was sick of being her friend so on the holidays I started to find myself and my image. It's my last year so it shouldn't be filled with girly drama."

"Wow" I smile "yep, you're my Warthogs bestie" I announce and poke my tongue out. She just laughs and I tell her all about myself until we hear a twig snap. I quickly turn and I see the boy I now know by the name Riddle.

"Hey Grace" he nods and joins us "hi Riddle, met Bella?" she asks. I grin evilly at him and he gives me a grim look, a purple bruise around his eye. I feel my throat is swollen as well. Cecilia doesn't miss a heat beat, she sees the evil look I give him, his bloody once and eye and my swollen throat and she gasps.

And I laugh and they both look at me and I roll around. I don't know why but this whole ordeal was hilarious to me but to anyone else would find it awkward. I guess that's why I was laughing.

Once I finish I see he has healed himself and Cecilia was nowhere to be seen. My eyes flash and he smirks and nears me. I grin leaving me to my senses and I near him we're both standing directly in front of each other with him looking at me his eyes confused I smile, push him over, he falls and I grab his wand and he gets up very fast and I run around with him nearing me until I jump into the black lake.

I feel free in that lake and I swam far from the shore with Riddles wand in my hand. But then a feel something slither next to me and I get paralyzed. My eyes freeze and the only thing that has moved is my heart that is now going a hundred kilometers an hours. And I'm thrown underwater.
