"Skai hun? You up yet?" Said phil poking his head around skaiylers bedroom door.

"I am now" she replied sleepily, "what time is it?".

"Its half seven chicken, we have to get you up early because we all know how long it takes you to get ready!" Said phil with a giggle.

"Is dad up yet?" Asked skaiyler.

"Yeah, he is just editing a video in our room. Just go in and see him, but knock before entering just to make sure he is fully clothed" said phil walking back to the kitchen.

"Thanks daddy" she said as she sleepily walked to her parents bedroom.

"Dad?" She said quietly knocking on the door.

"Yeah? Come in." Dan replied.

She walked inside.
dan held out his arms, obviously offering a hug, and as skaiyler hugged him back she started to sob.

"Skaiyler? Whats wrong babe?!" Said dan worriedly.

"I-I-I d-dont wanna g-go to school" skaiyler said choking on her tears.

"Why? We thought you were looking forward to it." Replied dan.

"I was bullied dad. The reason i spent so much time out of school when i was in care was because i was waiting for my bruises to heal; or getting stitches, or staying overnight in hospital. It was brutal and i cant re-live that again dad, i cant." Skaiyler informed dan.

"If anything like that happens within your first week then we will be drawing you out of school and home-schooling you" dan said "and thats a promise".

"Okay, thanks dad" said skaiyler hugging her father again and wiping her tears away before leaving his room to go and get ready.

Skaiyler walked back to her room and picked out one of her usual outfits,
A black and gold "this is gospel" t-shirt,
A plain black pair of skinny jeans,
Her new black wedged heel boots,
And her leather jacket.

she then did her makeup;
Light cream eyeshadow which matched her skin tone so it just looked like she had shiny eyelids,
A tiny bit of concealer just around her eyes,
She didnt need foundation as her skin was pristine,
She drew small winged eyeliner on her eyes too before putting mascara faintly over her eyelashes so it looked natural,
then she wore a pinky-red lipstick to finish off her makeup.

Then she brushed out her dark brown, nearly black hair and straightened it,
Before covering it with a beanie.

She looked fantastic.

Skaiyler made her way to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee.

"Not getting breakfast my little lioness? Its the best meal of the day!" Said phil.

"I-I'm not too hungry" skaiyler replied trying to cover the fact that she never has breakfast, dan and phil just think she does.
The truth is; skaiyler had an eating disorder and dan and phil were starting to notice. Skaiyler didnt want them to know, they have their own problems.

After she had drank her coffee and brushed her teeth, she grabbed her school bag and headed for the door with dan and phil.

Dan hailed a taxi and they all clambered inside, skaiyler in the middle and dan and phil at the sides,
Then travelled to the school.
Skaiyler was shaking as she was scared that this school would be like her last. Dan and phil saw she was shaking and they both held her hands, calming her anxiety by a lot.

•••••••time lapse••••••••

Dan, phil and skaiyler walk through the school gates and head for the main office.

"New student; skaiyler Howell-lester"
Said dan to the secretary.

"Errr... Here you are! Here is your timetable/day planner and a map of the school, enjoy your day! If you need anything look for a prefect, your form tutor or come back to the office. If im not here then ask for 'miss whitely'" said the office lady; miss whitely with a smile.

"Thank you" said skaiyler genuinely astonished by the kindness of her.

"Dad, daddy, i will see you after school. Will you pick me up?" Skaiyler asked her dads.

"Of course! And also you might see some of your fans around school, you have about 13 thousand now dont you?" Said dan.

"14 thousand as of last night!" Skaiyler said proudly.

"Love you hun, we will have to go now though" said phil.

"Love you both too, see you later." Replied skaiyler.

Skaiyler read the school rules and you were allowed your phones in school,
You could wear makeup,
And you could wear your own clothes.

Skaiyler put her headphones in and walked to her form room; room 23.

She turned up her music and walked in time to the beat.
As she was walking to room 23 a gang of girls wearing short skirts, lots of makeup and lots of pink walked past.
They looked her up and down then started whispering, thinking she couldnt hear.
She turned her music down so she could hear what they were saying

"Omg, she looks so emo" said one.

"She's so skinny! God shes practically anorexic, ew" said another.

"I cant be "emo" actually seeing as "emo" is a genre of music not a lifestyle. So if you will excuse me i have a class to get to." Said skaiyler speed walking away.

"You go girl!" Said a girl leaning against a wall wearing similar clothes to skaiyler.

"Well it had to be said" replied skaiyler, "whats your name?"

"Jaz, or jazmine" she said.

"Nice name, my name is-" said skaiyler before being cut off by jaz.

"I know your name, collidewithskai, its nice to meet you skaiyler. I love your channel, and your parents are epic!" Said jaz.

"Thanks, where you going now?" Asked skaiyler.

"Room 23 how about you?" Replied jaz.

"Same place, come on we can walk together". Said skaiyler.

They walked to room 23 together, talking about bands and youtube, skaiylers two favourite subjects.
