Isabella POV
I wake up to the music of Closer by The Chainsmokers and Halsey blasting from my phone as an alarm.
I get up grab my clothes and head to the bathroom to shower,brush my teeth , get dressed and put on deoderant.I don't put on makeup....I feel like it is a waste of time but I do put on some concealer to hide a bruise on my jaw.I am wearing black skinny jeans,my black and white converse,a black ACDC muscle shirt with my red hoodie over it.
I rush to wake up my foster siblings so I can hurry to get us all out of here and to school.Once everyone is dressed I quickly make breakfast for my foster father who is still passed out from getting so drunk last night.
I grab us some breakfast bars and we rush out the door.

After walking my siblings to school,I walk to mine.
When I arrive,I immediately go to the library trying to avoid the school's badboy in hopes that he won't see me again and will forget whatever he saw the night before.
As I was rushing to the library to complete the homework I had forgotten the night before,I bump into a wall because I was looking around and not paying attention to where I was heading.
I look up and see the boy I have been dreading to see...
Bennett Lucifer Logan!
Oh fudge!
"Watch where you're going!"He says looking slightly irritated.
He looks absolutely perfect but that doesn't mean I am going to stand here and check him out ....no,instead...
"Boy,we wouldn't have clashed if you were paying attention as well.So don't fudging blame me because it wasn't just my fault."I say looking straight into the eyes everyone seems to fear.
He looked slightly amused when I said 'fudging' and remained there as he heard what I said.
"Well aren't you a feisty little kitten?"
He says looking amused as I reacted by only widening my eyes.
"I have somewhere to be.... so if you will excuse me...... Oh and by the way don't call me kitten!"I said as I began walking away.....and then the bell rang.
Fudge I didn't get to complete my homework and now there are a few F's I will have to deal with.

As I arrive in first period I pull my hoodie over my head concealing my face of the scrutiny my peers will give me.Throughout the class nothing happened except me taking notes and finishing all my classwork.
The next two periods had passed the same as the first and then came my favorite time of the school day....lunch!
I absolutely love food.
I walk in to the lunch room and my best friend Mara comes running at me and right when I think she will just stop and hug me ...she jumps and takles me to the ground.
"Mara!Why on this day would you tackle me?"I scream in pain...from my injuries I recieved the previous day starting to hurt.
"Oh crap!Sorry Izzy!I just missed you so much!"Mara said franticly squeezing the life out of me.Which only causes it to hurt more....but I can't show the pain or there will be questions...and with questions will be moving and I like this place....I don't want to move....
"Can't.....b-breathe.....release me you...vile woman!"I gasp out trying not to suffocate and die.
She releases me quickly mumbling a 'sorry' before dragging me to the lunch line.When we get there I get a pizza with milk.
We start walking to our table that includes us and one other special person.
"Mara you left me and didn't tell me why , so now Izzy is my new favorite best friend!"my (apparently)new best friend James said.
Ok so James is my bestfriend who I met on the first week of freshman year.
"Ok....so I am going to eat this while you both explain your day....starting now!"I say before taking a bite out of my pizza .James and Mara started talking at the same time so I have no idea what they are saying and just nodding along while enjoying the taste of my delicous pizza.
After I finsh my food and my friends stop talking we simultaneously(as if we practiced this)look around the room to see if anything interesting was happening.
My eyes zero in on the steel silver eyes staring back at me.
I suddenly feel self concious so I turn my head and continue looking around the room.The bell rings signaling we have to go to our next class so I throw out my food and head towards my next class.
When someone trips me,I stumble and nearly fall but instead of landing on the cold hard ground ...I land in the warm embrace of some one with toned arms and muscular chest.I look to thank my savior when the words get caught in my throat as I see the steely gaze of those familiar silver eyes.
"I-I am sorry...I didn't mean to ....wait a second why am I apologizing....Thankyou for catching me but I must get to class!"I said rushing out of his arms bearly falling again as I rush to my last class of the day.
When I reach my class I take my usual seat and am shocked when I see Bennett enter the class and make the nice girl sitting next to me move.
"I remember you kitten.....I remember seeing you carry a hardly consious boy through the alley the other night..."He says staring at me as I sweat and try to focus on the board instead of what he saying but ...I can't...
"Why mention this....why are you even talking to me?"I whisper to him trying to stay calm.
"Because I want to know how you got the bruise that is hardly covered by the concealer you are wearing.Because I am curious as to what happened to that boy and why you helped him...."He says
"I can't talk now and I can't explain so.....please leave it alone!"I plead to him as the bell rings signaling the end of the school day, so I rush to leave the class.
I pick up my siblings from school and head to the hell I must call the house I live in.
When I get there,my foster father's car is not in the driveway so I clean the house,do my homework,while helping my siblings with theirs and make dinner for us all(including the beast(my foster father)).When I am done the'man' of the house arrives at the house with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hands and walks into the kitchen to grab food.
"So I see the worthless bitch made some food.....might actually be one of her only good qualities..."he mumbles to himself.
As he turns around I turn around and go to see if my siblings have showered and went to bed yet.When I check and find them asleep(including Jaimie)I take a quick shower and go downstairs to do the dishes when I find my foster dad drinking and then hurry to the kitchen to complete the task I came down there to do.When I finish I hurry up to get to my room to sleep.
When I lay down I start to drift into a dreamless sleep and thoughts of Bennett wandered into my mind.I fell into the darkness with Bennett in my thoughts.
