I looked around the science lab, the bright yellow walls were plastered in pictures of plant and animal cells. The taste of overcooked lasagne still lingered in my mouth from lunch.

"Scarlett! Scarlett!" Rosalinda whispered from the chair next to me,

I immediately snapped out of my daydream and felt my face got warm. I had been thinking about Kieran, a guy at my new school. The way his hair flopped over his face, and the way his amazing blue eyes looked around the classroom towards the door where I was stood on my first day.

" Scarlett what's the answer to this question?" Rosalinda asked pointing to her book,

"umm" I glanced at the book.

It read 'If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand and four apples and three oranges in the other hand, what would you have?'

"well if you think about the diameter of the apples, oranges then you have to add them all together and work out the diameter of the hand from there, and you should have the answer" I replied.

I looked up to see Rosalinda staring at me.

"Rose it is a simple formula" I half smiled,

"Scarlett, it is the last lesson of term, we are having the only fun science lesson all year and you are still thinking logically" she laughed at me.

"oh sorry" I blushed again,

"I am just going to put ' Really big hands'" Rose muttered slowly as she wrote it in her book.

Why do I have to be related to him? WHY? Whenever I am with somebody I always end up making myself look like an idiot. Oh please make me more stupid, I hate being this smart!

I was snapped out of the thought by the bell ringing loudly through the corridors. I left my seat and put my book in the box at the front of the room, hugged Rose goodbye and left.

I got outside the classroom and put in my headphones, I slowly walked past the popular groups. They all looked at me, giggling and pointing. I heard a voice

"Guys don't. leave her." I looked around and saw Kieran, I smiled at him and he flashed me his kilowatt smile.

Oh geez Scarlett, what's with the 'kilowatt smile' that's the geeky side coming through AGAIN. I wish it would just go into hibernation forever.

I walked out the school gates and made my way home, I hoped no one would be there when I got back. I just needed some time to myself.

My music blasted through my headphones as I walked home.

I walk a lonely road,

The only one that I have ever known,

I don't know where it goes,

But its home to me and I walk alone,

I walk this empty street,

On the boulevard of broken dreams.

This song basically summed up my life at the moment. It was also a coincidence because I was walking down an empty street at the time. But that's not the point. My life at the moment was hard, I only had some of my family and Rose.

I got to the front door and searched my pockets for my keys. Crap. I had left them at home this morning. Typical. Why was it always me being unlucky?

I sat on the front steps and waited for someone to come home; if anyone would come home.

I had been sat there about 20 minutes when I decided to walk to the corner shop to get something to eat. I walked down the front steps and onto the path; I got halfway across the road when it all went black. It was so sudden. I don't know what had happened.
