"Are you free today?" Felix whispers to me during English class.

"I guess so." I whisper back making sure to keep my eyes on my book so as to not land another detention from Mr Forestier.

"I can't understand some of the math problems, I was hoping if you could help me?"

I stare into his hopeful green eyes before nodding, "Sure, I'll help you during detention." He flashes me a grateful smile and goes back to his work.

"How is your head?" Reece asks me after lunch.

"I am fine, I don't think it's a concussion though." I assure her and she rolls her eyes.

"So, did Brandon talk to you?" She asks me and I shake my head lightly. I was still upset about him calling me ugly. He was my best friend, I trust him more than I trust Reece and that's saying something. Just because I hid my face behind a hoodie didn't mean that I was ugly.

"He wants to apologise." Reece mumbles.

"So I am having a party tonight. I'll pick you up." She changes the topic quickly and I stop and stare at her.

"I hate crowds, I hate parties. Remember the last time I got drunk?" I ask her as my mind flits back to about four months ago.

I had sneaked off from home that day when dad wasn't there. The party was at some football player's house. I had wanted to drink my sorrows away. And drink I did, Reece had stayed back at the party while I had wandered off with Brandon.

Long story short, I totally embarrassed myself when I hugged a hobo on the street screaming "Hey look who I found! DUMBLEDORE!" Brandon still has that video on his phone.

"It's a really really small party. Brandon and some of my other friends will be there. There will be no crowds." Reece promises and I nod slowly. Reece is on the chess club and was a cheerleader - so she is quite popular and has a quite a lot of friends.

"I don't know if I can come. I have detention then I have to babysit. I'll come after babysitting okay?" I tell her and she nods content with my answer.

My phone pings with a text from an unknown number.

You are being warned. Stay away from what is mine or you'll regret being born.

I scrunch my eyebrows as I read the text. What the hell is that supposed to signify?

"What is it?" Reece asks nodding her chin towards my phone. I shrug and put my phone away not wanting think about useless things.

It was only my second day at school and it already felt too long.

The day passed by somewhat normally compared to the previous day though some students still kept starring at me.

Soon it was time for detention. I entered the room to find Felix already sitting at the back. A few other guys were already there texting on their phones.

Wyatt.

He was sitting behind Felix.

Felix waved at me and I walk to sit beside him.

Mr Hiscock was our assigned detention observer.

"Just stay silent for an hour and do whatever you want." He announced before putting on his earphones and continue watching copulation on his laptop.

"So which part do you find it hard?" I ask Felix as he pulls out his notebook.

"Algebra. I literally understand nothing in it and Ms Trask announced a test in it." I nodded and we spent the next hour finding algebra's x.

"Thanks for that. I am sure I can manage a C+ " Felix tells me packing his books and I grin back at him. My phone pings in my pocket and I pull it out to look at a message from Jenny

Hey Aria, Jenny here.

We're going out today for some kind of charity event. Nobody will be at home till late night

You don't have to come early to take care of Keagon. Have fun <3

P.S - the key is under the flower pot.

I smile at the text. Guess, I'll be going to the party after all.

"Do you want me to drop you home?" Felix asks as we walk out of the school.

"Nah, I am going straight to Reece's." I explain pocketing my phone.

"Really? I am going there too! I can take you there." Felix grins. I take a second to observe him. He had green eyes and dark hair with a strong jaw and a straight nose. His cheeks were smooth like a kid's with no trace of acne.

"See what you like? You can take a picture." He grins at me cheekily and I roll my eyes.

As if.

Without waiting for my answer he pulls me to his Audi. I pull out my phone and text Reece.

No babysitting today. On my way.

She replies immediately just as Felix starts driving.

Yay! I'll choose some clothes for u. Sleepover?

Ok.

"Hey slow down." I squeak at Felix. He was driving like a madman.

"Afraid?" He smirks at me and I roll my eyes.

"I don't want to die today."

He doesn't bother replying and continues to drive like an orangutan.

No offense to orangutans.

"I think I am going to puke." I say opening my mouth. He slows down almost immediately.

"Do you want me to pull over?" He asks and I shake my head surprised that he actually looks concerned.

"Just don't puke over my baby. It's new." He mumbles and I stare at him.

And here I thought he actually cared about me.

"We're here." Felix tells as he parks outside Reece's house. He had to park outside because the driveway was lined with cars.

And here I thought it was a "really really really small party."
