Chapter 1

Lina's Pov

I was usually alone for most of my life. Known as the schools loner for my whole middle school life, it kinda stuck with me.

It all started when my parents decided we needed to move to a new town. I was shuttered. I couldn't believe my whole life would just change like that. All my childhood friends left behind and only if I knew only the memories would remain.

Being the antisocial person that I was I found it hard to talk to people. I would hide myself in the crowd and barely left the house except to go to school. I was at third grade at the time. I stayed at home most of the time since my mom didn't even let me leave the house so I spent my days with the help.

As time went by the more I noticed how different I was from the rest. As the days went by my interest in music,reading, and poetry increased and so did my weight since I rarely played outside with my peers. I coincidentally became chubby like a teletaby but I paid no attention to it until one day in 5th grade.

We were outside for games(resess) when a group of boys surrounded me and pushed me to the dusty ground and kept calling fat, pig, unwanted and so many hurtful words I barely noticed my scratches. I tore apart inside. I felt myself suddenly sink. People laughing and staring at me. I couldn't even focus on them.  I couldn't even move or speak. Everything seemed to go dark. I felt like I was sinking and all I wanted to do was just disappear forever if possible.

Just then a light appeared. It was Delilah. Delilah and I knew each other from the beginning. We did our interview together in 3rd grade. We immediately hit it off. We chatted through out the whole interview. She was a light skin and had the most affectionate smile I have ever seen. Even at an early age she would walk in and the whole room lit up. She was the life of the party.

We both passed the interview and got in. This followed to my first panic attack. The thought of a new school made me panic and anxious. I started crying and next thing I know I was cutting off my  shoulder length hair chunk by chunk using some scissors which were just laying around . Clear to say by morning my head was completely bald. My mother shouted at me and was screaming aimlessly the next day but I barely paid any attention to her.

School was rough. Delilah, who was evidently more social than me, had forgotten all about me and in a week's time made a whole bunch of friends while I hadn't even talked to anyone except the teacher yet. This of course made me very lonely so I was shocked when she helped me that day.

She helped me up and dusted me off. She even helped me with my wounds. As she helped me I noticed her gorgeous smile. I instantly felt attracted to her. I couldn't point it out but there was just something out her that just felt right when I was around her. I tried getting her attention but it was effortless so I tried becoming a friend but something inside of wanted something else but I dismisses it until our last year of middle school after the long holidays.

When she came back she had changed drastically. She looked more mature and the feelings I tried to dismiss came back but more. At school my eyes would be drawn effortlessly to her  Hazel brown eyes. Even through her uniform I could see her curves. Her  gorgeous smile and her deep voice that was just so fucking soothing. "Fuck, why can't I stop thinking about her? ". I couldn't help but get lost at her beauty during those boring  lessons. Just looking at her would make my day better and would spend the whole day just looking at her." God I'm pretty sure I look like a predator" I told myself.

This made me question alot. What was I feeling? Why did she make me feel this way? Or maybe I wanted to be with her!? But there was an issue with that, I was straight.
