*This chapter is currently being re-written.

A beaten up road bike sped rapidly through Hawthornes school gates, almost colliding with it's students in the process.

The blonde sitting on the front bars held on for dear life, giggling whilst profusely apologising to the irritated students they almost hit with middle fingers and every bad word in the english language thrown in their direction.

"Well fucking move then, idiots!" The older boy shouted as he joined in with the girls fit of light chuckles.

The front of the school was gated of by old brick walls with bushes and trees that concealed the school from the inside of the wall. It was a rather typical private school building that resembled more of a very large brick manor than a school. Tall, gothic stone archways supported some of the corridors on the second floor that connected the facilities. Lily admitted to herself that the school did in fact have some beautiful architecture; her favourite being the outside corridors that wrapped around the perimeter of the school with similar gothic arches as widows without any glass.

The sixth form area for the years 12 and 13 was one of the many separate buildings that made up the school; younger years where banned from entering so they didn't have to put up with how annoying they could be.

Dragging their feet, Lily and Benny walked side by side through the entrance doors of rich mahogany to get to their assigned part of the school.

Students rushed passed them in the corridors, up the grand stair case and all around the school as they made it to the wide hallway where the sixth form lockers resided, just in time for the first bell to ring.

"I want to die." The girl groaned miserably as she slammed open her locker, grabbing the necessary equipment for that day and slammed it shut once again.

"That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think?" The taller boy smirked as the blonde walked past a few lockers to get to his, leaning her back beside his open locker as she crossed her arms.

"I think my attitude is justified, this place is literal hell," the girl replied with a frustrated huff and her usual expression of disinterest: a death glare paired with slightly raised brows and a pout that unknowingly made her look cute instead of pissed off.

Before he could even open his mouth, another locker slammed open to the right of the girl."Not going to lie bro, Lily does have a point," spoke a boy with messy, mousy brown hair and dark eyes

"Thanks Joseph."

"Anytime."

The boy gave her a toothy grin in return to the girls side smile at him. "Oh have either of you spoke to Izara this morning, I haven't seen her yet and she's not replying to my texts?" He questioned as he threw his bag into his locker.

Now that she thought about, Lily hadn't seen their fiery friend anywhere, they normally met at the lockers but she was no where to be seen that morning.

"She's not coming in until later in the afternoon, doctors appointment or something like that," mumbled the taller between the three. She had sent him a quick message this morning, he had just forgotten about it until now.

"Oh alright then I gue-" the boy replied but before he could finish his sentence a door down the corridor swung open as more students exited the hallway. They all turned their heads to the right and listened to the voices that began to accumulate out of the room. They spoke amongst themselves with light hearted laughs and general conversation as they left the conference room.
