The break in this chapter again switches from Lisbon to Jane! I PROMISE NEXT CHAPTER OKAY

LISBON

It's been about a week since I met the boy with the blue eyes, and it hasn't all been entirely horrific. Just the usual: keeping my brothers out of trouble and out of the way of my dad. Here's the weirdest thing, I actually made a friend! Her name's Grace, although she doesn't really live up to that (her words not mine!) and we have basically every class together. That's brilliant because otherwise I don't really know what I'd do. I'm not sure if she offered to sit with me because I had nobody or if she didn't have anyone either because in this whole time no one else has sat with us. People aren't mean here, and don't get me wrong, I love that, but it'd at least give me an excuse for the bruises that show up on Monday mornings. The first time Grace saw them she pretended she didn't and I'm thankful because she hasn't treated me any differently but I saw her eyes widen and panic. I'm not sure if that's better than the pity.

It's senior year though and I really have to pick up my grades if I ever want to get out of here and to college. I haven't been doing too badly because there's a few really nice teachers here who seem to GENUINELY want to help, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to flunk Chemistry anyway especially considering the teacher is pretty much the meanest person ever after my dad.

My home room tutor, Miss Hightower is actually awesome though. She seemed kind of a hardass, but I have a feeling she has a soft spot for lost causes and she's been so helpful to me, giving me extra study sessions in my free periods to help me catch up.

Home is a little different though. My mom is still gone, and my dad may as well be too. Or at least my brothers and I would prefer him to be. College can't come fast enough; I can get away and take my brothers with me. They don't need to suffer on their own. Sometimes I think about how we still go to church on Sundays and how we wear the cross and I almost laugh when I imagine my dad being in confession for hours at a time because he sure as hell needs to be.

I look out for the boy with the blue eyes in the halls but I don't see him, actually considering how Mr Bertram talked about him I'm sure he's on suspension. I'm still curious about his name though... Maybe it's his last name? But I can't seem to remember if Mr Bertram called me Lisbon or not, but come to think of it, that'd be so weird. I've thought about asking Grace if she knows anything about him but I don't want her to think I'm interested in him. For a start I couldn't possibly manage a relationship AND my dad and brothers. Besides, she's got enough love life troubles anyway! Little Grace Van Pelt totally has a MASSIVE crush on Wayne Rigsby! She hasn't actually told me yet which is fair enough considering at the moment we hardly know each other, but I catch her staring at him ALL the time. Whenever he asks her for a pen she gets so quiet and nervous and it's SO adorable too. Actually, I'm pretty sure Wayne has a crush on her too, but I don't really know anything about boys, maybe he doesn't I don't know. One thing I am sure of though, I have to see the boy with the blue eyes again. I have to know him.

JANE

Today's the day. Finally back at school after the longest suspension ever. Okay it wasn't that long but it sure felt like it, especially as Wayne and Kimball weren't even allowed over. Although, stroke of luck, the fact that this is my second suspension this year made my dad SO mad. He may have hit me, which may have lead to me hitting him back and an all out brawl which then may or may have lead to the cops being called. Which then may have lead to him being arrested. Finally. But the worst thing is, my mom isn't even happy about it. 18 years of abuse apparently changes a person. I always hoped to get away to college and bring my momma with me. She's such a beautiful person she doesn't deserve my toe-rag of a father. She probably wouldn't come with me anyway. I just wish I hadn't been such a coward for the last 17 years of my life. Anyhow, we're finally free, we could move away and start new lives. But my mom probably wouldn't go for it anyway, especially as it's senior year.

Speaking of senior year, I do believe I'll be having a little fun this year. That girl from last week. I have to know her. Yes, I'm aware we haven't properly met and I don't actually know anyone else that has met her yet, but I have devised a brilliant plan. This plan being of course to court the beautiful green eyes (well yes I'm planning on the rest of her too), make her fall in love with me (which will happen soon because well, it's me) but after that I'm stuck. I've thought about breaking her heart, just to see if I can do it, but I don't want to those beautiful eyes in pain. Well, whatever happens it'll be fun. Shit. Shit shit shit. I totally forgot about Lorelei... I mean it wasn't even like we were going out for long and she's with the Quarterback John anyway. But hell is this girl the jealous type... Oh well, it'll be worth it. I think I can break into the school files (especially as Mr Wainwright and I are pretty good friends now), and shouldn't be too hard if she's filed under 'New Students'. I haven't seen her before so I'm pretty sure she should be new…

Well, fingers crossed!
