Chapter One:
Final lesson of the day. Final lesson of the week. All she wanted to do was go home, collapse on the sofa and read a good book. But she couldn't. She had project for history that she'd have to get on straight away when she got home and she would do it because her mother told her to.
She'd never missed a homework because of this but sometimes she just wanted to relax and escape into a fictional world in which she didn't have to care about her problems. The bell rang which slapped her black in reality.
She walked along the corridor towards her locker in which she grabbed everything to get out of there as fast as she could. She didn't mind school because she excelled in everything but that was just her life. She had a few friends but they were just because of the clubs she went to.
But she was stopped. By the principal. She called Lucy into her office. 'Great' she thought 'Just what I wanted'
"Lucy. You are one of our top students at this school"
'She only does this when she wants something' Lucy thought.
"This term we need our top students to tutor other students on their classes who are falling behind and we came up with a list of people who we thought would be up for this. We all thought that you would definitely be up for this. Would you?"
"Sure"
"We need to you tell us any free time that you have and email me any questions you have. Is that clear?"
"Yes"
"We will get started next week and I'll email you all of the details later"
Next moment when Lucy looked back the door was shut on her.
She continued to walk down the corridor when she noticed her mother walking down the hallway. 'She thinks I'm on my way to pick up Amy. Quick. Do something. Hide.' she thought
She ran into the nearest classroom and turned around to see her mom walking right past the window. She finally let herself breathe.
"I didn't think you'd be here for detention, Preston. I thought you were a A* student who never did anything wrong." A voice said from behind her.

She slowly turned around to see a outline in the darkness. The room wasn't pitch black, the other half was flooded with light. The outline walked towards her and became more clearer.
It was Wyatt Logan. The bad boy of the school. Always getting into trouble like it was second nature to him.
"I was just hiding in here from my mother. She was walking down the hall and I tried to think of something and it was either coming in here or hiding in a locker which would have been painful."
"You might not want to be in here much longer. You want to keep your reputation don't you? And I highly doubt your mother would like you to be in here while in here. Would she?"
"No not really but-" she started while being cut off by the door opening.
"Here you are Lucy. I was looking for you and Jiya said she saw you walk into here"
"I was just about to leave." She said while walking out of the door and her mother followed.
"What were you doing in there with Wyatt Logan of all people?"
"I saw a spider so I thought the best thing to do was hide from it"
"You're not scared of spiders?"
"It was a huge spider. You should have seen it. It was massive"
"Anyway Lucy, you have a history project get on with. And there's no time like the present to get on with it"
"I suppose not"
