Chapter 1

Sometimes I wish I could feel safe. I mean living at Bloor's they could easily walk into the room and grab me…..or worse. Then I go home and live with my aunt that I was uneasy about as well, just the two of us kinda defenseless but now we have Uncle. Paton. These aren't the kind of safes I mean, I want to feel safe in the arms of Tancred, too bad he doesn't realize it.

I walked towards the art classroom. The only person I can see in the crowed is Tancred, the rest is a blur. Tears start so engulf my view, I saw him flirting with another girl, and I can't believe it has come to this. I blink back the tears; wipe the already fallen ones with my sleeve. I march towards them, startled by my courage.

"Hey, Tancred." I say waving "Who is this?" I ask when I am closer.

"This is Jen." He replies "She is my science partner."

"Hi." I say to her with relief he doesn't even seem to like her. I breathe again.

Our art teacher (sorry forgot his/her name) came. And Jen skipped of to who knows where. Our teacher lead us through the maze of easels. I found mine –a picture of a feather lying in snow- and continued to paint it. Hurrying because it was due in forty minutes then we had to present them! Ugh!

I caught a quick glance at Tancred's it was –what I could tell- a bird lost in a storm. My heart pattered, could that be me!? I felt like I was about to faint. Deep breaths Emma, deep breathes.

The rest of the day flew by. Olivia was coming over, so was Fidelio -mainly because he new Olivia was going to be there- and Charlie. I smiled with a pang of jealousy; I wish Tancred would like me like Fidelio likes Olivia.

I was surprised that at the back of the bus a purple headed girl was sitting in the back in a green cape. I chuckled at sat next to Olivia.

"So where did you get the green cape from?" I asked. Olivia's face fell.

"Emma…" Olivia stammered "Tancred let me borrow it because he was going to some girl's house –I think he called her Jen- she is in drama so he took my cape. Which is way too small on him, it was so funny………….."

"Breath," I laughed "they are partners for their science project and it is due on Monday and they are probably going to work on it."

"Okay, good." She replied.

We ran off the bus and sat down on the curb to wait for the blue bus. We were laughing so hard about who knows what, when Olivia gasped. I turned, a sob escaped my mouth because right there was Tancred's lips against Jen's.
