"3.2.1" Elyse's dad, Matt counted.

As soon has he got to one Linkin Park came blasting from Elyse's room. After a few minutes Elyse came down the stairs dressed and looking for something for breakfast.

"So what ya having today?" Matt asked

"I dunno really." Elyse answered as she looked in the cupboard.

Elyse walked back up the stairs, grabbed her skateboard and bag, then rode down the railing on her skateboard.

"Your gonna kill your self doing that one day." Matt said as Elyse landed

"Cya later dad." Elyse called as she walked out the door.

Elyse met up with Kai outside her house.

"So think you can show me where I get my timetable from?" Kai asked as they were walking

"Sure. First we can meet up with everyone else." Elyse replied

"How was last night?" Jamie asked Jess and Claude

"Entertaining." Claude replied

"Why's that?" Elyse questioned

"Mum want's me to go see a shrink. I chucked a spaz at her about it" Jess answered dully. Everyone started laughing except Kai, who had a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong" Emma asked Kai

"It's nothing." Kai said shaking his head lightly

They were all sitting down at a bunch of trees.

Once they all left Kai got his timetable and found he had art with Elyse, Clair, Rei and Steph, when the five of them got there they sat down and Rei, Steph, Elyse and Clair pulled out their art books.

"You got a book to use?" Clair asked Kai

Kai nodded his head as he pulled out a sktech book and flipped to a page and continued drawing a Gundam Wing picture.

"Didn't know you drew manga." Steph said to Kai

"Yeh it keeps me busy, so I stay out of a bit of trouble." Kai said a smile on his face.

Elyse noticed that the smile was different from the one he had last night.

"It's the same thing for Steph, she draws manga as well." Rei said jabbing Steph in the side

Steph's reply was a large grin.

Turned out Kai had every class with at least 3 of the others.

"Hey Kai wait up!"

Kai turned around to see Elyse hurrying towards him on her skateboard, once she caught up Kai continued riding his bike with Elyse riding next to him

"What was bothering you this morning?" Elyse asked

"My mum tried to make me see a doctor for the way I act, we had a huge fight over it and I ended up running away from home for a few days." Kai told Elyse

"Ohh." was all Elyse said

"Don't tell the others kay, I'd rather keep it a secret" Kai asked

"Sure thing." Elyse replied

Kai smiled again, this time it was the same smile as last night. Elyse and Kai walked on in silence for a few moments until Kai started singing

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Elyse then continued singing

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause i'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the Habit
Tonight

Elyse stopped outside her house as she finished singing.

"Cya later Kai." Elyse said before she walked inside

Kai waved as he turned and walked away from his house not feeling like heading home yet.
