-Petra

I stepped off the bike and saw the school. It's grey stone walls. And the brick wall. I nearly went over to it, for old time's sake. Jesse muttered something about students and Ivor looked around, his dark hair waving in the wind.

Harper looked around and smiled. "I remember this." she said and I had taken a liking to her immediately. "Bye then." I told them and Harper waved goodbye. I took Jesse's hand and led him inside.

"Hey Petra." someone snickered and I felt my throat constrict. Jesse scowled at the girl and I felt uneasy. "Let's just get to class." We didn't turn up for most of the year so we received looks of shock and amusement. "Welcome back, Miss Jackson and Mr Jones," our homeroom teacher said and I held Jesse's hand tightly, and Jesse smiled back at me, suddenly looking a little pale.

"You okay?" I whispered as class started. "Yeah. It's just.." Jesse tapped his head a little, with his pencil. "Just bear with it," I whispered back, looking down at my paper to pretend I wasn't talking to Jesse.

"Yeah, I'll... try?" Jesse said and I smiled, as if giving him some encouragement.
