And here I was,walking to school on a cold December weather was,somewhat,strange. Like,a strong storm was raging on. Not that it was unusual,since we've already passed the half of December. But,the weatherman said it's going to be sunny.

I guess they can never be a hundred percent sure.

The thing I was sure about is the claustrophobic day that was expecting me Exams are getting closer and the professors are persistent we get excellent marks.I never had a problem with school,I loved it mostly because of my friends,which were always there to help me through my what problems?

Well,my father was abusing me since I was five.

The first thing I remember from that beginning period was he coming home from work,always late.I had a horrendeous tooth ache,or something unbearable like that.I begged my mother help me,make the pain go away..Sobs errupted from the core of my body,making me slightly jump from time to entered the living room,furious and in an instant,he was in front of me:squeezing my neck so hard,I couldn't that moment,I don't remember ,I was only five.

It was hard living there,with know what Britney says:another day,another mother was just another victim. He used to hit her, too; or send her outside the front door to sleep. Two years after that neck thing, we collected some money and moved to a small place called Mystic Falls .Our house wasn't exactly a mansion, but we were grateful even for that little place with one bedroom. Anything, just to get away from him.

My thoughts were interrupted by someone. Someone, whose smell I can feel from far behind. It was my boyfriend, Robert. I tiptoed, and softly kissed him. Really, I can't explain to you how much I love him. He's like, my salvation, my best friend, my boyfriend and brother. There is no word to describe how much he means to me. He was always there for me: when I had no place to sleep, when I had Math problems ,even, he bought me tampons when I was on my period. And, someday, when someone asks me where is he, I'd like to say: 'He'll be home by 7.'

-Hey, silly .Why so thoughtful this morning. It's too early, you know? , he joked.

-Well, I'd like to see you having two exams today and not giving a duck.

-No worries. We can always compel them to gi…' he stopped.

-What do you mean, compel?

He was deep in his thoughts just for a mere second, and then answered, a little bit, shaken.

-I meant, I ..We, can always give them money, right?

-Yeah, I guess so.

We continued walking to the school entrance, and all that time my thoughts were wandering somewhere else. Robert acted strange a few moments before. Like, he said something he shouldn't-no, it can't be. Maybe he's worried about school ,too. I know which effect she has on me. I'm pretty sure he has exams today ,so that'd be the reason.

My mind was playing tricks with me. Indeed, maybe something happened, he's been acting strange these few weeks. Or maybe ,I was just becoming one of those sneaky girlfriends whose life consisted of tracking their boyfriends even when they had to pee. I couldn't afford that. I had more important things on my mind-like passing my Literature exam today.

Halls were filled with students ,half of them not even completely awake .Professors were complaining, like usual, and forcing their way to the classrooms. I did quite the same, filling Robert's head with 'Homeric question' because I was almost sure the main question on my exam is going to be Odyssey. Well, I needed someone to listen.

The bell rang, announcing the terror which is about to happen. While Rob was hugging me, he wished good luck and whispered something into my ear: 'At lunch break, behind the school.'

And simply as that, he just left.

-Mrs Kate, are you entering the classroom, or what? ,professor J. yelled.

-Yes, I was just about to…

-No apologies, in! ,he said showing me towards the classroom.

I made my way to sit and while I was about to, he yelled again making my butt hit the floor. Sincerely, it hurt like hell. Not that I was about to admit ,or anything.

-Kate, are you alright? ,Caroline asked.

-Pretty much. As long as my butt implants stay in their place. ,I joked. We both knew that I didn't have them., or need them, because my ,well, rear was as large as this country.

The assistant handed us the tests ,and guess what? I was right. At the top of the page, stood Homer. Lovely. Now I can get a good mark.

The class went by so fast ,and I didn't manage to write the half of things I knew. Caroline grabbed my hand, and led me to the cafeteria. The smell of coffee filled my nostrils and we hurried to get in line. When it was almost our turn, I remembered Rob was waiting for me outside the school.

-Caroline, buy us a cappuccino and find a spot to sit. My body decided it had to pee, so…

-Okay ,no problems. See you in a few.

Caroline was one of my closest friends. We knew we'd be best mates from the moment we accidentally bumped into each other and spilled cappuccinos on our clothes. The kids here aren't rays of sunshine. Constantly, they'd say ugly things to me and write some offensive words on my locker. After a week, they stopped. I have to thank Caroline for that.

When I stepped into the school yard, I saw no one. But, Rob said he'd-

-Are you Miss Kate? ,someone behind me asked.

-Depends who's looking for her. ,I retorded, while slowly turning to see who it was.

Wow, I had what to see. Bright blue eyes were piercing into mine. Definitely ,the brightest blue I've ever seen. I thought it was just another student, but something about him, his aura said he was vicious.

-Oh, silly darling. I'm afraid you're coming with me. Now!

-Of course I'm not! Who do you think you are? I have more important things to do than hang somewhere with you.

-Like what? ,he looked slightly amused.

-Paint my nails or something.

He burst into laughter and came closer. His eyes were doing this strange thing, pupils were dilating and in an instant, I found myself in trance. What he says,I must obey.

- Get in the car, forthwith.

I had to do what I was told.
