as the sun split it heavy rays in between the trees, the birds were awoken with such dismay, but stayed comfortable. the birds started to sing their legendary melody, in such octaves that some humans couldn't even possibly reach. these melodies caught the attention of a raven haired young girl, she shifted in her white minimalistic bed. she rose but and smoothed the front part of her hair, letting her hand hit the front her ponytail.

hazel let out a soft yawn and squinted her eyes at the reoccurring rays. "dammit" she remembers, jumping out her bed and towards the closet. she opened it to reveal a sleeping heath ledger, covered in a small blanket maddie and hazel used to sleep with in their childhood.

"wake up!" she said loud enough to wake him up, but not her mother. heath slowly opened his eyes and gave her a glare. "heath you need to leave, my mother will see you, it's gonna be my first day back, please leave!" hazel said, repeatedly hitting him.

"okay, okay, stop it" heath said, pushing her away from him. he made his way over to her window and lifted his leg carefully over, careful not to hit her sacred succulents.

"i'll see you at school today heath" hazel said to him, he lifted his head to her and she gave him a small smile. "yeah, thank you hazel, for you know letting me crash" heath said to her, as he let himself drop to the ground and discretely left the calais' estate. as soon as he left, marissa bursted into her daughter's room, making hazel flinch.

"sorry hazel, you're up early" marissa said, making hazel nod slowly. "first day jitters" hazel said, making marissa let out a soft chuckle. "i suppose you always had them" marissa said, carressing her daughter's cheek.

"be careful, when riding down flores avenue ma fille" marissa said, making hazel look down. "i know" hazel said, picking out her outfit.

"hazel" marissa said, gaining the attention from her daughter. "your father called" marissa said, making hazel open her mouth in shock. "what did he say? what did he want mom?" hazel said in such a fast pace. "he said he was sorry about what happened to maddie, he even sent us twenty thousand dollars to help pay for any expenses, and he misses you hazel" marissa said, making hazel let out a tear.

"that was nice of him, tell him i miss him too" hazel said, leaving her room and into the bathroom.

she looked at herself in the mirror and started to cry. as much as she despised her father, she still missed him. he was always kind to her, she could have sworn he was in love with her mother too, but guess not.

"keep it together. je sais que je vais aller bien, c'est bien, d'accord?, bien hazel bien" hazel said quietly to herself as she wiped her tears and started her shower.

"d'accord" she quietly said, as she stepped into the hot shower.

at school

when hazel reached her school, flores academy, she took a deep breath because she knew the panic was ready to be induced.

she spotted danny getting out his parents car and walking up to the school. she didn't feel like talking to him just right now, maybe later.

1 2 3

she counted her steps to that front door. "you can do it" hazel to herself as she touched her door nob. she opened it to reveal students that looked directly at her. whether or not, they either were scared to talk to her, digusted by her, or didn't understand her predicament.

she really didn't care

"hazel calais? a word? mr. van pels said to her. mr.van pels was the principal of the school, legend says that he's the founder but that was only made up by the old seniors.

hazel made her way towards principal van pels slowly, however the eyes following her made her a bit uncomfortable. "alright, we understand what happened this past month and how your family has been feeling. t'was very brave you decided to come back to school so early, i wish you the best of luck, and whenever you feel on the edge, you can come in here and rest, or you can call home alright?"

"alright thank you principal van pels" hazel said, leaving his office. as soon as she left his office she stopped, leonardo di caprio in all his glory.

"leo" hazel softly said, making leonardo breathe slowly. "hello hazel, hope you're doing alright" leonardo said, avoiding eye contact.

hazel touched his chin to lift his eyes to match with hers. "i know what you saw last night and it's not what you think" hazel said, letting go of his chin.

"then what was that? didn't he murder your cousin?" leonardo whispered, making hazel shake her head frantically. "no he didn't" hazel said.

leonardo gave her a confused face and she just continued to shake her head, she felt tears brimming her eyes. "i don't know who killed maddie but i know it wasn't him leonardo, so please do not give him the wrong title or idea because it's not true. whatever you do with those photographs do it, but if you release them i have no choice but to file a restraining order against you because this isn't the first time you were caught outside my house taking photographs" hazel threatened.

"only if the story with your little rendezvous with heath ledger will go up, i'm sure it would be worth it" leonardo said, earning a loud slap from hazel.

everyone turned their eyes towards the two, leonardo held his cheek with his hand and looked around, unlike hazel who kept her eyes on him.

he met her eye and clenched his jaw.
"you're dead" he spat, bumping her shoulder as he walked passed her.

she let out a soft tear and looked at danny in front of her. he hurried towards her anf hugged her.

"hazel? are you alright? what's the matter?" danny asked her as he patted her hair down. "it's leonardo, he.. he" hazel said as she let out more tears and held him tightly.

"he what dear?" danny asked her.

"he's our first suspect"
