I got to class. Angle came in a few minutes later. Mr.Progress stood at the front of the class room once again. He spoke,"Morning students today's assignment is writing a love story it is due at the end Of the hour," he sat down in his desk. I looked over at Gabe with a worried look he rolled his eyes. I smiled at him he sighed and garbed my paper."Fine but just this once," Gabe said.

Once school was over i went to the music room putting my guitar away once again.I looked up seeing Gabe standing in the doorway. "Thanks for doing my story for me,"I said.

"No problem i know you don't have romantic feelings,"Gabe said.

"The code word."

"Oh right the code word for you not having romantic feeling. Which is the code word for your secret."

"Ya"

As I walked up to the music room,I could hear Ben and Gabe talking. I stopped in my tracks not wanting them to know I was listening or that anyone was listening at all. I could hear Gabe talking he was saying something about a secret. Who's secret? Ben's? He has another secret?

I couldn't walk in the music room. I didn't want them to see my bruise on my cheek. Ben saw earlier but he didn't say any thing. But still I shouldn't risk it. Anyone could ask...Anyone...I didn't want to go home yet. So I walked into the forest not too far away from what I liked to call 'home' even though it didn't feel like it. The cool bruise put a smile on my face. I could see the old abandoned school just ahead of me. It had been that way for years decades even just old, and abandoned. They where going to tear it down and build a new school over it. But they couldn't afford the money because of world war 2. After a period of time trees grew along with more trees along, with a forest. They couldn't cop down the trees growing onto the school so they just left it and over time they forgot about it.I could see the half broken window of the dance gym.

Crawling trough the broken bottom part of the window I stepped off the window seal and on to the dance gym floor. Seeing the shattered mirror completely covering one wall the cracks, in the wood floor with bits of grass and some weeds, that looked more like flowers then weeds growing threw the cracks. The rusted dance bar and the little cracks in the walls. This was the place I would go when I wanted to be alone or when I didn't want any one to see me. As I walked up to my dark blue bag that, I hid behind a sound box. I pulled out my pink ballet dress,pink ballet shoes,and black tights. I went into the girls locker room and got dressed into my dress and tights. I could see the buries on my arms but not on my legs since, my black tights covered the bruises on my legs.

So I grabbed my white jacket and slipped it onto my arms. Slipping on my ballet shoes as well. I walked up to the stereo as I did I put my hair into a high pony tail,putting the Cd in,and pressing play. But since they didn't have cd players back then I brought my own and hooked it up wasn't that hard. I started to dance ballet. Even though I was acing in pain I felt better then this morning though, because of the pain pills.

After about a few hours of dancing my legs couldn't take it any more so, I sat down leaning against the wall across from the mirror. I took a deep breath in as I stared at my self in the shattered mirror across from me. I should go home soon... I thought to my self. Even though I didn't want to I did have a big day tomorrow however. So I forced myself to get dressed in to my normal clothes and walk home.

Sitting on my bed, I pulled out some bruise medicine rubbing it onto my legs, arms, cheek, and torso. Then laid in my bed drifting off to sleep.
