*The next morning* Yay double music, fertile economics, fertile science and finally art! *music* Everyone has to do a project on their favourite genre of music and find someone to pair up with to do it. I chose rock. Mr. Sumner looked at my choice, "umm people who chose rock put your hands up." There was a silence, "Ashley you are paired with Cloe!" Why are the human teachers in this school all buttheads!? I mentally slit my wrists which made me trace my scars. "Hey!" Ash sat next to me. My stare never moved from my notepad. I nodded and continued planning the genre project. "So what kind of bands do you listen to?" I flicked through my notebook until I found the back. It was decorated with band stickers. "Wow you like guns'n'roses!? And sabbath? Motley crue! Pantera!" He kept getting excited over all of the bands. I just kept my head down and nodded. *after school* I heard footsteps running up behind me and my gaze hit the floor. "Cloe! Hey!" I nodded but kept my gaze down. "Listen I'm not allowed people round at the moment because my mom is redecorating but we can go to yours to work on the project if you want?" I didn't want him knowing where I lived but I wanted this project over and done with. I nodded and he followed me on the three mile walk to my place. "I can't believe you walk six miles everyday?" I huffed. I nodded and opened the door to the old Ashton hotel. Ashley's POV She opened the door and I was shocked. It was dingy and needed serious repair, mould was growing in places and a lot of things were broken. She led me up the stairs and I continued my panting, all of the windows were boarded up. Pretty soon we were stood outside room 31. She unlocked the door and let me in. Her room was awesome, posters of all my favourite bands and her own artwork. She dumped her bag but took out her music notepad first and then sat at her desk, pressing buttons on her phone as she connected it to the stereo. Kiss came on. "Tonight, I wanna give it all to you.." I grinned. Such good taste. I leaned over her shoulder and saw the plans for the project. She had a good eye for this stuff. She pulled out several pieces of black A3 card and began sticking them together at random angels. It looked really edgy. *2 hours later* My stomach rumbled and she heard it. She went to the fridge and got out a microwave meal of lasagne and a sports bottle. The microwaved pinged and she put it on a plate with a knife and fork and handed it to me with the bottle. I took a sip. It was O negative. A personal favourite of mine. I grinned at her but she kept her gaze on the floor and continued to work on the project. "Thankyou cloe, aren't you gonna eat?" She shook her head. Why is she so scared of doms? What made her like that? I looked up to the only personal picture on her wall. It was a man and a woman holding a baby in hospital with a little boy but his face was scratched out. Why did she do that? I assumed it was her brother. Where was her family?

Notes

So Ashley has started to ask himself the right questions :) and yeah she has a brother. You will learn more about him pretty soon. (Btw he is a jerk - prewarning!) X x x
