I gazed at the sun rising from the east side of Volterra. It's warm rays ceeps through the small city I called home into a lovely view. While I watched this beautiful sight someone knocked on my door lightly.

"Elizabeth time to get up." Steven said in a music tone. "Oh, you're awake. Okay get dress and hurried! Dan already made breakfast." he called over his shoulder while he began to leave.

I sighed and got up from the window seat to get dress.

When I got to the kitchen I saw Alex yawning like crazy while his food was untouched.

"Hey." I greeted quitely.

"Good morning Elizabeth! How's my wonderful daughter doing this wonderful morning!" Dan exclaimed.

I shrugged. Taking a sip of milk that was sitting for me.

Dan stares at me in disbelief. I guess it was the way I acted when he greeted me this morning but I just didn't feel like talking that much.

"Oh my are you sick?" he questioned while putting his hand on my forehead.

"No." I said solemnly. Eating my cereals Alex looks at me.

"Your quite." he stated.

"Yep." I answered. Taking a another bite.

"That's a first." he muttered.

"Uh-huh." Taking a another bite of my cereals.

Alex raised a eye brow. "Are you depressed or something?" he asked.

"No."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yep." I answered.

When I finished my breakfast Alex offered to drive me to school. I said okay, but he had no car to drive so I assumed he would borrow someone's car. However when we were in Steven's fancy car he didn't even ask his permission. So basely he stoled it.

I swear he drives as if he was trying to lose some cops in some cop movie. He hits the breaks really fast and I nearly came flying out of my seat if I weren't buckled in.

"Here we go!" he snickered.

"You did that on purpose!" I yelled.

"Well, well, well, look who's finally talking." he smirked.

I glared at him coldly. Seeing what he was up too.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever!" I snarled. Getting out of the car, not even closing the door I then heard.

"See ya Liz." he howled. I turned around to yell at him but he zoomed off with Steven's fancy new car. People were staring at me with what just happen. I pulled my hood up and over my face avoiding eye contat.

Althought the embarrassing moment I just had and I'll tell you my day was getting more worst at the second.

When I get to my locker, as usual it didn't unlock when I put my code in so I end up pulling my key to unlock my locker, just when I got it open Tamra stomps to her locker. She was mad, I knew she was.

"Hey." I greeted.

She ignores me.

"Hey." I repeated.

She slams her locker door close really hard. I closed mine and walked after her, seeing what was going on with her.

While I try to caught up with her, she always walks fast when I was on her heels. I don't know what's her deal is, she better get over it real soon! I don't have the patients for this!

"Did I do something that made you mad?" I asked.

"Matter-in-fact yes, yes you did!" she said.

"What did I do?"

"You know what you did!" she exclaimed angry.

"No I don't!" I shouted getting angry. She was being stupid! It wasn't fair of her to accused me of something I have no idea what she's talking about!

"Well explain that one with Jackson!" she shouted. She stormed out of there quicker then anything.

"Wait he told you?" I asked feeling totally embarrassed.

"Yes!"

"What did he tell you?" I asked in shock. What did he say to her? Why did he tell Tamra of all people? Does he even know she has feels for him? That jerk!

"He said that you went out with him and..." she paused.

"And what?" I asked curiously.

"And you made-out with him!" she hissed.

"What!" I shouted. Now I was mad. How dare he! How dare he make some rumor about me! The most that made me mad that he told Tamra! And that made me really furious!

"Yes, we did go out. But there was nothing really going on. I swear it was more like a hang out thing."

"Whatever! I thought I could trust you!" she cried.

"You're being overly dramatic." I said. And it was true she was. She was saying one thing and than another. It was really stupid.

"I am not!"

"Yes you are! And besides I just told you what happen and you still don't trust me!" I said.

"You could be lying to me!"

And that did it. "Tamra Catson you really think I would lie to my best friend! I mean come on we all know I'm the worst lier in the face of the planet!" I shouted.

"You never know, you do have your surprises sometimes!" she spitted.

"So basely your saying you believe some dumb boy than your friend, your best freind!" I corrected.

She didn't answered.

"Fine! Be that way!" I storm to class.

The bell rings and Class began I took my seat somewhere else today. I could feel people staring at me behind my back. They all knew Tamra and I sat together, but today was a shocker to them.

The teacher came in and starts explaining of all the periodic table of elements.

"Psst!" I heard. But I kept my attention towards todays lesson.

"Psst!" it got louder. "Elizabeth, turn around..."

" ! I strongly think you shouldn't be the center of attention today's lesson!" he yelled.

Jackson slump in his seat.

After lunch Jackson walked up to me.

"Did I do something?" he asked. Obviously he act so innocent, but I saw what he was up to.

"What do you think?" I hissed.

He shrugges. "I don't know you tell me."

I annoy growled. "Oh don't act all innocent with me Jackson! You told Tamra we kissed and now she's furious at me because of some rumor you made up!"

He frowns.

"She told you?" he hysteria.

"Duh! Of coarse she did!" I said.

"But I was just joking." he admitted.

"Well she take it seriously! You idoit!" I screamed, now causing a scene. But I didn't care. I just wanted to yell.

"It was just one date, and beside there will be more than that." he stated. But he was over his head about this one and I indifferent that.

"No. There. Won't. Be. A. Next. Time." I said through my teeth.

"What you mean?" He asked.

I sighed lightly. "Jackson..." I began trying to find the right words. "...I don't like you, not in the way your thinking, I haven't and never will have feelings for you." I whispered.

He's expression drops. "So your saying is that there's no hope for me?" he muttered.

I nodded. "Yes."

"It's because of them, isn't it?" he asked, hearing the anger and pain in his tone.

"No, no it's not." I answered.

"Then what?" he yelled. "What makes you not attactive to me, I-I can change-" I soon cut him off.

"No you can, I know you Jack. You will never change, I know that for a fact." I assured him.

He took a step away from me. "So... that's it," he muttered. But I just looked away from him. "Fine! Enjoy your so called men, you whore!" he walks pass me brushing my shoulder hard. Iwas angery that he actually had the guts to call me a 'whore', but I let him go.

As soon as he was gone I then hit the wall sliding down on the marble floor and just stared.

I exhale deeply. "This isn't what I wanted." I said to myself.

Then the bell rings.

I got up and started to walk, not to class, not in the school, but to get out of Volterra. As quite as possible, I knew, I so knew my emotions were about to come out and I didn't want anyone to see it. Not Steven, not Alex, not Alec and not even myself. But all my emotions, all my feelings that I bottle since my father died, that's truely kills me the most.
