I looked up at the crowd who was standing before me, with smiles upon their faces and applauses coming from every angle.

I knew they weren't taking me seriously, I knew they didn't believe but that's ok because not everyone wants to believe in something they cannot see; most of the time they believe that there has to be facts to back it up however I don't need that to know that there is potential.

I make my way off of the podium and took my place among my other peers, after a few goodbyes from our teachers we finally had finished.

Some were congratulated by their families where as I headed back to my dorm.

My family wasn't there because I don't have one. Not long ago..........my family.......died......in a car crash......my mum........my dad......my sister, they all went up in flames however I somehow managed to survived and according to the doctors it was a 'miracle' however I see it as a curse.

I am now a wondering soul, lonely, forgotten, depressed. I don't need pity I just hope others learn from my mistakes and embrace their family and friends the most , as they are all that matters.

After I pack I will move back to Wales with my Nan, who dearly missed me and I dearly miss her.

I eventually got back to my dorm and stared, I stared at all of the memories of me being by myself, me in the holidays thinking when is this torture going to be over, me thinking about what I should do to pass the time, me thinking of life!

I finished up the last of the boxes and then went and looked out of my window. It wasn't like a prison window (like most would have thought) but like and normal room window.

My eyes roamed the luscious green grass which grew in the courtyard (where my window projects too.). I could see happiness beaming off of everyone, it was most probably because we are leaving. I saw people sitting on the grass talking to one another; after my families accident I kinda shut myself off from the rest of the world, I don't socialise anymore, all I do is stare at the clouds, I breathe in the intoxicating gas of oxygen and try to subside the hurt which lays just beneath the surface; hoping for a better life.

There were people reading underneath the beaming sun, soaking up the last time they are at school.

My whirling mind started to stir up something. A plan!

Enough with hiding in my cocoon, I now need to spread my wings and become a butterfly (it's a terrible analogy but all well!).

So I decided that I was going to take a big leap and head down to the courtyard- I know this might seem lame but baby steps!

I will no more hide  in the shadows, time to turn over a new leaf.
Time to get back in the world again!

I got to the courtyard, the sun kissing my skin- it feels much needed after enclosing myself in for so long.

I rubbed my arms, still feeling invisible.

I see a guy and my mind starts to whirl again- i guess it's time to take the next leap; talking to a stranger! (Well, not a complete stranger- someone from school.).

I slowly walked over to the guy with my head glued to watching my tiny feet pitter patter over to him.

He was leaning against a tree, he seemed alone so I presumed it would be less awkward for me and him if we talked.

Well, that's my logic!

I stood in front of him, it was time to face fear dead in the eye.

"Hey, I'm Sarah, Sarah Dunley."
As I put my hand out, still shaking.

"I know who you are! Your the girl who cowers in the corner, who never said a word, who would always want to sit in the back next to the window, so you could see the beauty outside and let the sun beam down amongst your brilliant complection. You would always visit the library when you can, you prefer fantasy books, as you believe anything is possible, you sit on a table by yourself, next to the lunch ladies reading a book as you slurp on your orange juice, pure, no bits! you sometimes sit on the courtyard looking at the surrounding area around you, breathing in the intoxicating air, as your beauty is seen yet again. You are always at school, never go home on the holidays and yes I know your parents are dead, and yes I feel sympathy for you but I know you don't want it. I see how you walk like you did just now, your scared to show yourself, you used to be so open, so sociable, but now you blend in, you want to be a shadow, not to be seen, or heard. You stay in your dorm, and if you ask me, you are slowly going crazy."

I let out a small chuckle which he also joined in with.

"But if you ask me you seem lonely, and as you perfectly said today about the three people on earth, you are all of them , you are a protecter from before the accident, always making others smile and always making sure that they are safe, you are a fighter because you survived school by yourself, but ultimately you are wounded, badly! that's what changed who you are, and that's who we have now but if you ask me you are remarkable in any way."

I stared in a bit of shock for a second before I spoke once more, "Well, it's clear you know......who I am....I don't want to know how you know."

I lowered my head down again and said under my breathe, "Stalker!"

I let out a cough and looked back up to his mesmerising eyes, "So may I ask mr. Mysterious.....what is your......name?"

He stared at me with a smirk upon his face and then replied, "I am Mr. Lyon but you shall call me Oscar, my lady."

I chuckled a bit from his attempt at being formal and 'posh'. He looked at me confused and then looked over my shoulder, I followed where his eyes where tracing and I turned around to see.........................................
