"Ok class I have marked your sketches today and I am very pleased with what you have produced" Mrs. Elis says whilst handing our sketches back. "Mmm" Mrs. Elis says as she winks at Aiden and me while handing our sketches back. "I'm sure this isn't a coincidence" She says as she walks back to her desk smirking.

I turn my head to Aiden with a raised eyebrow. "Uh...What she talking about..?" I question which he just shrugs and gives me a cute sloppy smile to.

"I don't know, but let's check your sketches." He says with a quick smirk and I quickly pull my sketches away from his grasp and hold it high in the air.

"Why don't we check yours" I say and clutch my sketches harder. He pouts and I chuckle at how he's acting.

"Yah k, let's not..." he says and I bring my sketches back since its safe now but still clutch onto it.

"Ok, today we will be working in groups of 4 and I want you to shade one of your sketches just like the sheets laid out on your tables." Mrs. Elis says from the front and I think of who to shade.

If I shade Aiden he might see, but if I shade him then people might ask who he is. Deciding to shade Aiden and just to try and hide it from him I start to gather my things ready to move.

"Since I'm nice I'm going to let you choose your groups but before we need to move the tables, so move your belongings to the back and then we can start." Mrs. Elis calls out from the front.

I grab my belongings and move it to the back. I look at Imogen at the front to see her mouth 'partners?' and I nod. I then push mine and Aiden's table towards Imogene's table and help some girl who was pushing her table towards the back.

I go back and collect my belongings and realise I didn't know if Aiden wanted to move. Placing my things down I turn to see Aiden talking to some Blondie. The Blondie touches his arm and curls a strand of her hair with her finger. For some reason I get angry since he could have helped me move but he was too busy talking to Blondie over there.

FUCKING SLAG!!

He'll probably sit with her. Sighing I turn around.

I grab my sketch book and walk towards Imogen and sit opposite her. I take my shading pencils from my backpack and set them on the table. I hide half of Aiden's face and start shading when I feel someone's presence.

I turn to see one of Shane's friends standing there looking nervous. His brown locks of hair and chocolate brown eyes look familiar. Mason I think?

"Hey Mason right?" I ask him with a small smile. He smiles back and nods.

"Yah, mind if I sit here?" he asks and I chuckle. I look at Imogen and she smirks at me before winking.

"Sure, why not" I move my backpack from the seat and as he moves into sit Aiden slides in quickly.

"Sorry mate, seats taken" Aiden says while sending me a wink.

"Aiden what the hell!" I tell him frustrated and turn around to apologise to Mason who has an eyebrow raised.

"Sorry" I say feeling angry at Aiden for doing that. I mean he was flirting with some Blondie so he might as well sit with her. Seriously sometimes he can be so damn confusing.

"Nah its fine" Mason says and starts to leave but I call him back.

"Hay, sit here." I point at the seat next to Imogen and she blushes as he looks at her. He then looks at me and grins while taking a seat next to her.

"Sooooo" Aiden says while nudging me as I start shading my portrait again.

"What?" I say annoyed but he just gives me an amusing smile before shrugging. I roll my eyes and continue shading.

I shade every intricate detail of him. His messy yet sexy hair. His sharp and strong jaw line and cheekbones.

Hay don't judge, I want to pass ok!

"Why aren't you sitting with that Blondie you were flirting with just minutes ago?" I ask him randomly and he raises one of his perfect eyebrows with a lazy grin spreading on his face.

"Why are you jealous....?" He asks while poking my cheeks.

"Psshh NOOO, just asking. Coz it looked like you were really busy back there." I say while looking over at Imogen and Mason who were in a very detailed conversation.

"Hmm. It was funny, she thought she was going to get some there and then but I wasn't interested." He replies while tapping his pencil on his chin as if he was in deep thought. "To be honest I would only do that to someone special not some thirsty slag." He says and finally looks at me and gives me a small smile which I return back.

"Ok..." I say and try to look at his sketch he's shading and for a second I thought I could see a girl's hair but he quickly covered it and smirked at me.

"Yah, when you let me see yours I'll show you mine" he says and then goes back to shading.

Sighing I continue to shade.

"Hay Kass, Shane told me to tell you that his team is coming over for the connecting thing." Imogen says and I raise an eyebrow. "Sorry, I was meant to tell you earlier but yh..." she ends of and I don't miss the slight grin forming on her lips. As usual she must have been caught up talking with Shane.

"So I'm coming too" Mason said with a wink my way. I laughed and winked back at him.

Mason and Shane are really good and close friends.

Aiden coughs next to me and I turn around and see him looking at Mason. Oops must have forgotten to introduce him.

"Oh yh I forgot sorry...Mason, Aiden. Aiden Mason," I say and they both shake hands and dive into a deep conversation.

"So who did ya'll draw" Imogen asks smirking at me. I send her a glare and continue my shading, pretending not to hear her.

"Aaw that's soo cute" Imogen gushes and I look up to see Mason showing a picture of his little sister Sandy.

"Yah, she'll love it if you show her." I smile at him and he smiles back.

"Who did you draw" he asks me and I shift in my seat feeling nervous. I open my mouth to say something when Mrs. Elis walks over to our table and looks at our work.

Pheww, saved...for now at least...

"I see you have all put a lot of effort" Mrs. Elis states with a huge grin spreading on her face. She claps her hands once and moves onto the next table. A few minutes later she goes to the front of the class room "ok, now I want you to finish your sketches by the end of this lesson than I want you to either give the sketches to the person you sketched" She says and my heart pounds fast. Nervous would be an understatement right now. My palms began to sweat and I kept on fidgeting. How can I give it? He's going to take it as if I like him. What would Ryan think? All of this was because of a stupid mistake.

"Or leave them on my table for me to hand them anonymously." Mrs. Elis says while sending me a wink. Ok I'm definitely handing it to her. I don't think I could give it to Aiden myself. I let out a little sigh.

The lessons fly by and soon its home time.

Imogen and I walk outside towards the car park to await Shane after we leave our sketches in the art room. Just one more day then Aiden will receive my sketch of him. I hope he doesn't find out it was me who drew it. I hope he likes it though.

A scream breaks me out of my thoughts. Not just any scream. Imogen's scream. I turn to see her kneeling down clutching her knee. I look back up to see Rachel and her bitchy minions smirking and looking at her like dirt.

"Watch were you go net time tramp!"Rachel says while smirking.

And before I could think my fist collided with her plastic jaw.

"Watch what you say Blondie or your little plastic body might just cripple." I spat at her while giving her a glare.

Hey not my fault she intervened with one of my Bae. If you know me then you should know that I am loyal and would not give two shits about anything and will always be there. Loyalty Is a part of me. It doesn't matter who.

It could be Macy, Ashton or anyone. I would still stick up for them do it without thinking. Weather they are loyal back to me or not.

"Whatever" Rachel mutters and sashays away trying to give a full 360 view of her fake small ass to the boys passing by.

"go and fuck yourself" I say before turning around to Imogen, who gives me a small smile but then frowns and whimpers when she tries to stand up "I think I dislocated my knee cap again" she mumbles but loud enough for me to hear.

"Hay don't put pressure on your foot" I say while helping her stand up. Imogen leans on me and I help her walk to a nearby bench.

But every so often reminding her to not put pressure on her right foot which is the one that is in pain. Imogen dislocated her knee cap first when she was 11. She slipped in the kitchen and had to go to hospital so even the slightest fall could affect her.

Just thinking of her being in pain makes me in pain.

We reach the bench and I let her lay her foot down. I grab my phone to call Macy but then remember that her Ashton and Ryan are at a dance competition and won't be back till 8 in the evening.

Panicking I quickly call Shane but his goes straight to voicemail.

Must be changing from practice

I quickly tell Imogen that I'm going to find Shane and run back inside. As much as I didn't want to leave her alone I can't carry her to the car and I'm pretty sure seeing Shane a smile will form on her lips.

I run around the whole school as the gym is located at the far back of our school.

Once I reach the gym I head inside the boys changing room, ignoring the wolf whistles and shrieks from the boys inside. My eyes land on a familiar mop of raven black hair and I walk towards it.

Shane turns around and looks at me shocked that I did such a thing. He raises an eyebrow and I bend down panting but the quickly get up aware of the many males around me.

"Imogen...knee...dislocate...bench...fall" I breathe out hoping he understands. He quickly nods his head and starts collecting his things. I turn around and come face to face with a shirtless Aiden who looks at me and gives me a lazy smile which quickly turns into a smirk.

"Thirsty?" he says with a bottle in his hands and I nod my hand reaching over to get it from him when he quickly puts the bottle higher and out of my reach. "for me or for the bottle" he says smirking and I slap his arm.

"Forget it idiot" I say and walk away to find Shane when Aiden pulls me back.

"Here sorry , I was just having some fun" Aiden says with a small smile. I grab the bottle from him and gulp it down in a matter of seconds. The weather is fucking hot and is giving me a headache.

As the cool water makes it down my throat I let out a small sigh. I look back up to see an amused looking Aiden who just shakes his head when I raise a brow at him.

"ok lets go, Aiden you coming?" Shane asks when he has gathered his stuff. Aiden nods and with that we head out. I check my phone and see we have wasted exactly 5 and half minutes.

Once we reach Imogen Shane takes her and helps her in her car.

"I'm going to the hospital to see if she's broken anything, Aiden can you take Kass home?" Shane asks Aiden once everything is set.

"yah don't worry about it" he says and Shane nods.

I quickly go over to the passenger seat window and see Imogen.

"I'm so sorry-" I start but get cut off by her.

"Hay, listen its fine and thanks" she quickly says and I give her a small smile.

With that said they head off.

~❤~

I sit on my roof top and look up at the stars thinking about how everything can quickly go from good to bad.

I haven't heard word from Imogen or Shane. I think they are staying or something I don't know.

I lie down and feel angry at the world for inflicting pain on those I love. The world is a cruel thing and it can bring down your happiness and joy down within a matter of seconds. It can flip everything over and make you feel so miserable.

They say time heals the wounds...so why am I still here, hurting and broken. Why can't I move on? Why can't I be happy?

My thoughts travel from Imogen to him. Memories, flashbacks and hurt all flash in my mind and my eyes can't help but stray a few tears. How everything has changed. It's funny how my mask falls when I'm alone and vulnerable. When the thoughts can come back and remind me. Remind me that I'm not a free bird. Remind me that I'm alone...

The next song comes on my iPod 'Little Did You Know' and everything comes rushing back like a tornado hitting a dry land. Because every word and every letter in this song can be relatable and are all the words that fit me. I listen to the lyrics and let loose a few tears.

Because when you're happy you enjoy the music but when you're sad and broken you listen to the lyrics.

And I'm nothing but broken.

Life is soo cruel. It can make you feel so gutted and broken in a second and nothing can change it. I hope you all never feel anything like that. Because some people don't have a choice or a say. They face things alone...
