'Charley wake up,' 'Charley c'mon we've got school.'

I woke up to the sound of my brother, J-Hope calling me to wake up for school

'What? It's way to early, i'm not ready to go back to school' I shouted to him with my eyes half closed.

'I've already made breakfast, just hurry and have a shower, i'll be waiting down stairs, we can't be late again okay?' He said making sure I was getting ready for school as he walked towards the door

I began to head to the shower dreading the day ahead, I washed my body and wrapped a blue towel around myself as the cold breeze entered the room through the fogged up windows. I applied a light amount of makeup and threw my hair up into a loose ponytail.

School really wasn't my favorite thing, being bullied and struggling with various mental illnesses I always felt unwanted - I didn't dare tell J-Hope that I spent my free time locked in the girls toilets, I didn't want him to worry any more then what he already does about me.

I picked out a simple black dress with some white converse and a black jacket, the usual.

I walked down the stairs to be greeted by the smell of pancakes and waffles, my brother knows me so well, nothing he did was ever wrong.

'Hey, your finally ready!' He turns around to face me as I pick up a plate of pancakes and syrup. 'Yeah, I completely forgot that school started today' I gave him a reassuring smile even though deep down I know he's still worried about me

'Um... Shall we get going, I don't want to hang around any longer.' I grabbed my bag and walked out the door with J-Hope walking by my side

'You sure you are okay?' He looked down to you with a concerned expression with his arm wrapped over your shoulder

'Honestly Hobi, I'm fine, it will be a fresh start, new class, new friends' I carried on walking trying to forget about the past. Today was a new beginning and I didn't want to be reminded of my past all the time

School in the past was hard so I found skipping was the best option, oh boy I was wrong, it lead me to all sorts of trouble hanging out in the wrong crowds, alcohol abuse and crime. Nothing I am proud of that's for sure

Eventually I arrived at school and me and J-Hope went to our separate classes, he was a couple years older than me and it was his last year at college, for me it was my second year. I walked to the office to sign in and was given directions to my first class, Maths.

I strolled to the class and quietly opened the door, I was early, there was a couple girls sat at the front so I decided to sit at the back in the corner facing the window. This year I wanted to be happy, be more social and have more friends so far I was avoiding it all all costs.

'Ah good morning students, you are all early and eager I see,' Mrs Pierce walked in with her usual cheesy grin, she knew about my problems and was very supportive throughout my first year at college. She was the only person I could really talk to without feeling ashamed of my illnesses. It was nice to have somebody I knew I could trust and to put my faith into.

I looked up and saw that she was walking towards my desk, I smiled to her. She told me at the end of last year that she would help me control my depression and she wouldn't force me to participate in class discussions if I didn't feel comfortable, this made me happy knowing that I actually had somebody on my side for once. Other than her and J-Hope I had nobody, J-Hope on the other hand was Mr.Popular, all the girls in my year drooled over him and all the boys wanted to be him, I was happy that he was happy. I sometimes felt like I was a burden to him, he was so cool but he had a lame sister.

'Charley, how are you?' She sat down in the desk next to mine placing her hand on my arm

'Hey, Mrs Pierce, I'm good thank you, this year will be different you don't need to worry about me any more. I think I'm doing well with my depression and J-Hope is really supportive!' I tried to sound happy and cheery but Mrs Pierce wasn't stupid.

'I'll never stop worrying about you but I'll stand back this year okay? Always remember if you need to talk, I'll be here' She stood up and walked to the front of the class at the same time that the bell rang signalling the start of the lesson

Throughout the hour, I kept my eyes fixed on the clock, I just wanted to take a breather in the toilets, I know i'm falling back into my old habits but I can't help myself.

The bell rang again meaning break time, I hurried out the door and sprinted to the toilets until I bumped into a girl who was in the my maths class

'Oh, I'm really sorry!' I exclaimed in shock picking up her bag which fell onto the floor when we crashed together

'Haha, it's fine, thank you. Umm.. this might sound odd but I saw you sat alone in maths today, next time come and sit with me and my friends we don't bite hah..' She was really pretty with big blue eyes and soft, plump lips

'Uhh, yeah sure thanks...' I stumbled all over my words, somebody actually acknowledged me for once. It felt really nice.

'Actually, you can come and sit with us in the canteen now if you want, My name is Mila by the way!' She reached out to hug me and I hesitantly leaned towards her

'Charley... My names Charley' I walked by her side into the canteen, she didn't make me feel awkward or shy, I actually felt like my old self like before the accident happened, I knew we would be friends for a long time to come. I could just feel it.

'Hey guys, this is Charley, shes going to hang out with us for now on okay?'
All the other 3 girls smiled and we chatted for a couple minutes before the next lesson began
.......P.E

'Charley, what lesson do you have next?' Mila asked me whilst we walked to our lockers

'Uh, P.E I think, I need to get my kit out the locker' I unlocked my locker and picked up the bag which contained my sport clothes

'Oh same, lets go together' We walked towards the changing rooms and began to dress into out sport clothes
~~~
'5 laps go go go!!' My coach called out, he was quite strict so I just did as he said and quickly ran around the track eager to end the lesson as quickly as possible

After a long and tiring hour of running and jumping and stretching, P.E class was over and I had got changed ready to head to lunch with Mila and my other new friends: Alex, Tia and May.
