Matthew Morgan POV (grade 8) From Abby and Rachel's former school...

ARG! I didn't talk to Rachel! I have lived on our farm since I was born. I was never a "cool" kid. Rachel probably never even knew I existed. She probably thinks I'm a new student.

I don't even have the balls to talk to her. Then she didnt show up at school today neither did her sister.

Maybe they moved. AHH! I didn't even talk to Rachel. I've liked her forever and then when I have the nerve to talk to her she moved!

I play some sports, basketball, football, wrestling and tennis. All fairly active sports. But I'm no jock.

I'm pretty athletic and practically live in my track suit.

I can't even focus in class. All I think about is Rachel.


(At home after school)

"ARRG!" I punched my wall. Out of anger for not talking to Rachel. A bunch of dust came out. I had created a hole in the wall.

My parents came running upstairs.

"Matthew! What happened here?" My mom asked.

"I-I'm sorry mom and dad. I didn't mean to punch the wall. I'm just having some problems at school
and-" "sweetie! It's okay...it's just a wall. Don't feel bad. Maybe we can get you a punching bag or something. Right ?" She looked at my dad. He had been silent. The. Whole. Time. Uh-oh.


Two day later at the dinner table.

"Matthew, I have a special announcement" my dads voiced echoed in the dining room of the farmhouse.

"I have enrolled you in a school. It is called the Blackthorne institute for troubled young men. You will begin studying there on Monday"

"Wh-at! What about MY school with MY friends?" I asked.

"Well, after seeing how you reacted the day-before-yesterday to troubles at school I didn't see regular schooling benefitting you In any way. This conversation is over. " he said.

AN: Sorry i haven't been on in forever! So much school work, and drama :( but I'm trying my hardest now to keep updating! :) these two crappy chapters are to kinda prepare and stage for the new part of the story.
