Flashback to year nine
Hayley's pov

I walked over to Jeremy and Josh's regular lunch table and slammed my tray of food down with a thud on the ugly grey table. Jeremy looked up from his magazine to flash me a quick smile, which I couldn't even bring myself to return. Instead I flopped down into my seat next to Josh with a sigh amd began scrambling my dinner down my throat, not caring how unladylike it looked. Let's be honest, I was never the most girliest of girls.

" what's up?" Josh asked, looking genuinely concerned. God, what did I do to deserve him? He's so frickin perfect!

" Taylor frickin York" I scowled, shooting that very boy daggers across the canteen. He got on my nerves so much. I can't believe that once upon a time we had ever been friends. What had my eight year old self been thinking?

" what's he done?" Josh inquired.

" he's so fake. One day he's pouring his heart out to me and the next his girlfriend sees me talking to him, starts getting arsey so he blamed it on me saying I forced myself upon like a common slut. Those were his exact words. And now everybody hates me" I cried in despair, Josh slinking his arm around my shoulders

" you didn't did you?" He asked. Seriously, how could he even think that? Did I really look like I could do that? I stared at him in disbelief before walking off.

I stood In the lunch queue, just joking around with the guys when out of the corner off my eyes I saw Hayley shooting me the evils. " what's her problem?" I asked Zac, just to receive him giving me a funny look, as though it was obvious. " what?" Was it really that obvious?

" why do you think? You told the most popular girl at school that she was forcing herself onto you and now Darcys been a total bitch and got the rest of the school involved. And to top it all off , you have total been leading her on" what? Me and Hayley. No way. Imagine what my reputation would be like then!

" so. I had to say something, I couldn't have them all think me and Hayley were a thing" I fought back, trying to defend my actions but I knew he wouldn't listen. I seemed to be annoying him more and more lately.

" why not?" Zac demanded. He really didn't understand this at all.

" because she's a freak. She doesn't fit in and If I went out with someone like her then I'd be classed as a freak too. Beside, she was hardly gonna be popular. Why does she care what they think anyway? If she really cared, she would try to at least fit in" I hissed, so nobody overheard. Darcy didn't like me talking about Hayley much.

" you think I want to be treat like a freak?" A small voice said from behind me. I turned to see Hayley stood there, fighting to hold back the tears " so what, I dress different and listen to different music? Just because I don't try to fit in it doesn't mean I want to be harassed and now the whole school hates me and Josh Is probably gonna break up with me. Escpescially for something I didn't do. You think just because I'm not some blond bimbo that I don't have feelings too. At least I'm real unlike you" she spun round on her heel and marched out of the canteen before I could even begin to defend myself.

What she said hurt me. I never meant to hurt her. I never thought, I just thought about myself as per usual. But what hurt me most was the fact that she was right. I had changed so much to fit in to get people to like me. But perhaps people who didn't like the real me, they weren't worth my time.

" hey" Darcy said, slinking her arm around my waist. I just shrugged her off and left. I had to find Hayley. It was time to be the real me and go out with the real girl for me.

" at least I'm real unlike you" I hissed at Taylor before spinning around and waltzing out of the canteen. I tried to hold back my tears but once I got out of the canteen I couldn't stop them from spilling down my cheeks. I pulled my hood up over my head so they wouldn't see me cry and set off running down a random corridor, not caring where I was going, tears blurring my vision. How could he? Was I really that much of a freak?

I finaly slowed down, breathless, my face almost definetley bright red. I pulled up.

Someone grabbed my elbow from behind and twisted it painfully behind my back, slamming me into the lockers with a bang. Ow. My hair was pulled from behind and someone hissed in my ear " you little emo freak" before proceeding to roll up my jackets sleeves. No they couldn't. They'd see.

" oh so you're a self harming emo freak. Well we might as well help you with that" my attackers voice whispered maliciously in my ear before breaking out into a sinister laugh. I felt the cold steel of a blade being pressed against my wrist and I cried out in pain

But then it stopped. I felt to afraid to turn around, expecting them to be fighting over who gets to hurt me first. I took a deep breath and turned around, expecting to be slapped. But instead I see three girls running off and right in front of me stands my saviour.
