“What’s that from?” Daniel says, lifting up my sleeve a little more to reveal the obvious bruise.Shit. I forgot about that one. “I bumped into my counter last night. You know me—clumsy,” I say. Daniel looks at me knowingly.“I have to get to class, but I’ll meet you at lunch. My treat,” I say, running off to class.That was a close one. Rewind one month“Can we work on the project at your house?” Christine, my assigned partner for this lame project, asks.“Um, I’m actually not allowed to have anyone over. Stupid family rule,” I say, rolling my eyes and laughing a fake laugh.“Okay, I’ll just check with my parents when I get home. I’ll text you and let you know,” she says. I nod and walk away.As I’m walking out of Crystal Valley School, looking for my keys, I bump into someone. It knocks me off my feet.“Shit, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t paying attention—I was looking for my keys.”“Yo Daniel, what are you doing? Let’s go!” I hear a bunch of guys call out.I finally look up to see none

My alarm sounds—quiet enough for me to hear, but not loud enough to scare me shitless.I grab the clothes I picked out last night and turn the shower dial to hot, waiting for the water to heat up. This is the only time I can blast my music at home—because my parents are at work.After I shower, I do my hair and makeup, then grab my change of clothes for after work and stuff them into my backpack. I throw on my black Converse and run out the door.Once I get to work, I head into Catherine’s office—she’s my manager. I knock on her door, and she calls me in.“Hi, Catherine. I came to ask if I can have my hours changed for today after school. I have a project to work on with a friend, if that’s alright,” I say, and she smiles at me.“Yeah, honey, that’s perfectly alright. Just take today and tomorrow after school off. Don’t worry about it,” she says, and I quickly thank her.I start my shift, and right before it ends—just as I’m about to go change—my coworker Cody asks me to take the last

I pull up to Christine’s mansion-sized house, pushing my idea to the back of my mind for now. I quickly park, grab my school bag and some supplies I already had in the car, and walk up her grand staircase.“Hey Kisses, come in,” she says, opening the door and pulling me inside.“You have a beautiful house, Christine. What do your parents do?” I ask, honestly curious. The house is ten times bigger on the inside—I didn’t even think that was possible.“My mother owns a fashion line called Brittney’s Fashion Co. and my father is a doctor,” she says with a shrug.“Can I live here? I bet you have an extra room,” I joke, but there’s some seriousness behind it.“Oh yeah, totally,” she says giggling as we sit down at the kitchen table.“Hello, you must be Kisses. I’m Martha. Would you two like anything to eat or drink?” a woman says, wearing an apron.“Martha, my parents aren’t home. Go watch TV or something. I can take care of myself. I don’t need a cook right now,” Christine says, laughing.M

I wake up to yelling and decide it’s not a good day to go to work before school. I text Cody and ask him to tell Catherine I can’t come in because I’m sick. I know she gave me yesterday and today off, but I obviously hate being home.I check my phone and see a text from Daniel.Daniel: Good morning. I have football practice tonight, so if we can go anytime before 6, that would be amazing.Me: Yeah, sure. We can go right after school if it works for you and Kylie.Daniel: Perfect. I’ll pick you up. Address?Me: It’s alright. I like to drive.That was close.I don’t want Daniel knowing where I live—just in case. I don’t want my secret getting out to anyone. Plus, Daniel and I just became friends. He might not even be my friend. Maybe he feels bad, or it was a dare. I wouldn’t doubt it.With those thoughts running through my head, I sluggishly make my way over to the closet and choose a navy-blue hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans with my Converse. I curl my hair and throw it into

I woke up a little before school ended to find a glass of water next to the bed, along with my phone and book bag. A thin blanket covered me, and the door separating the room and the office was closed to give me privacy.I picked up my phone and saw texts from Daniel, Christine, and even Kylie.Daniel: Come back Where are you? Kisses, seriously, WTF happened? I’m fucking worried Mother of all things large and small, where’d you go? Why aren’t you in any of your classes? I’m going to the hospital Damn it, you’re not here Are you still at school? What’s your address? I’m waiting outside the school.

Recap: “No f?cking way. Your Kylie’s childhood friend. You’re the one who I had a huge crush on” Daniel says wide eyed. “Wait, what?” Kylie and I both gasp at the same time. Well shit Reality: Daniel just exposed himself for having a Childhood crush on me …. “Um, okay then. How about we do this homework” Kylie says as I shift uncomfortably. “Uh yeah, that sounds good” I say taking out my finished math homework and 5 other sheets of it, copying down the answers for a bunch of Daniel’s friends. “Uh, Kisses? What are you doing?” Kylie asks seeing the 6 copies of our math homework. “Doing some of the jocks homework” I say finishing up one page of it. “You still do that for them? Kiss, stand up for yourself” Daniel says taking the pages away from me. “Daniel, incase you haven’t noticed. I can’t fight. I don’t go to the gym or football practice everyday like you and the rest of the guys on your team. I’m the schools nerd who works two jobs just to make money to go to any college.

I woke up to what I thought was my alarm clock but was really Kylie calling me. “Hello?” I mumble into the phone. “Hey Kisses, What’s your address? I’m gonna drive you to school today” Kylie says happily into the phone. “Thanks Kyl but I have work after school so I’m just gonna drive myself. Thank you though. See you at school” I say quickly hanging up and getting dressed. I change into a grey hoodie that has the word ‘coffee’ across the front in dark, bold block letters. I put on some leggings and my converse because I have gym again today. I write a sick note quickly and then curl my hair a little bit. I cover up the hand print as best as I can and grab my bag and keys and head to school. I’m in the middle of my third period class when my teacher comes up to me. “Kisses, the nurse is looking for you” I quickly thank her and head off to Mrs. Green’s office. “Hey Kisses, just wanted to check up on that bruise of yours” She says smiling and I nod lifting my shirt up. “Any pain?”

“I’m here to see your mother” Tara says and I freeze again. “Um, she’s not home right now” I stutter out not knowing what to do. “It’s okay, I can wait. May I please come in?” She says and I nod, mentally giving myself a pat on the back for cleaning up all the beer and wine bottles earlier. “Please, sit on the couch. Would you like anything to eat or drink?” I ask and she shakes her head no and turns her attention to the TV. I sit next to her just waiting for my mom to get home. When I hear the car pulls up a warm feeling picks up in my chest and I know what’s coming, an anxiety attack. I stand and walk slowly towards the door and open it. “Mom, you have a visitor” I say pointing to Tara. “Tara? Why are you here?” She slurs and cringe hoping she doesn’t realize. “Are you drunk?” Tara says concern lacing her voice. Of course she’ll realize she’s an adult. “No, not at all. I just want my daughter to go get me food. Go now, I want pizza. Leave me and Tara to talk alone. Drop of

I wake up and get changed into a navy blue tank top, a gray cardigan and black ripped jeans. I pair it with some high heel boots. I throw my hair into a cute messy bun and do my causal makeup. I grab my backpack and duffle bag that I’m bringing to the Green. The drive to school was happier. I spent the drive listening to music and looking forward to tonight. “Hello Ms. Kisses” Kylie says as her and Daniel walk up to me when I get out of the car. “We are going to have so much fun” Daniel says in a girly voice and throws his arm around me. “Shut up Dan” Kylie says causing me to laugh. “Thanks guys. It’s nice to have friends as inviting as you” I smile at them and Daniel blushes a little. “Eh, don’t thank us. We love you Kiss” Daniel Says and I hug her. “Let’s get to class” I say and we walk to class right in time. I go to my car and follow the Green to their house. Thankfully Mrs.Green taught me how to wrap my side so I can do that on my own now and the bruise on my face has fa

I woke up to someone shaking me awake. “Kiss, you have to get up. Scarlet’s here” Daniel’s says and I open my eyes to see the yellow and white jersey with ‘Green’ written across it. “What time is it?” I scratch my eyes looking at Daniel. “It’s 11. You slept late, Sleeping Beauty” He chuckles while he throws on a shirt over his head, covering the view of his perfectly chiseled abs. “Did I fall asleep last night?” I say blushing at his previous comment and getting out from under the covers. “Yeah, It was no problem. Soon after you feel asleep Kylie went into her room and I felt too bad to wake you up so you just slept in here while I slept on the couch” He says and I nod, feeling guilty. “Sorry Dan, you could have woken me up. I feel bad” I say and he shakes his head. “Don’t be silly. It wasn’t a problem at all. Trust me” Daniel says as Scarlet walks in. “Hey honey, can I take a look?” She says and I nod as she lifts up my shirt to reveal the worsening bruise. “Hi Mrs. Green. H
