I dive straight up, and hit my head hard on my dads. "For godsake Cathrin." My dad says. I rush past him, grab my backpack, and rush out the door before my parents can see my tears. I push through the school doors, and run to my locker before anyone can laugh at me. I grab my books, and things for my first class which is math. I'm about to turn and go to math when I smack right into someone. Their books, and mine end up on the floor. I drop to the floor trying to clean up their books because I know what happens next. They laugh at me and kick my books across the entire hall. I stand up and hand the books to them "I'm so sorry, I really am,"I plead. "Hey it's ok, I'm new here I should be the one apologizing," the mysterious boy says. "I'm Marcus," he says "Well I'm Cathrin, Cathrin Myers." I say "What's your first class," Marcus asks "Mines math," I say "Me too, well Cathrin Myers how about we accompany each other to math." Says Marcus "Ok," I say. Starting to feel the first smile since the beginning show up on my face.

Darkest Secret Chapter 1 I've lived in indiana for fourteen years and never once ran away from this boring place. I don't know why. It feels like something chained me to indiana and left me to die, maybe not something but someone. My brother. He was killed in a car accident last year. I was sent to a therapist a week after. I then realized my mom discovered the real me. The one who hates #life. Who can't stand the sound of laughter or the glow of a smile. I had friends, awesome friends. But then they took the sharpest knife they could and used it to stab me in the back. I want to run and hide but there's no where left to hide. I'm running, and running, never stoping. I hear the cries of my mother after my brothers death, the screams of my parents fighting, the laughs and words of all the people who turned their backs on me, and finally she shows up, the girl I thought I knew, the one who was my best friend since preschool looking at me like I'm crazy, I whisper sorry over, and over again. While she screams looser, creep, dirty undeserving rat at me again, and again. My knees give way, and I fall to the cold, hard brick floor. She stops screaming.I try to get up. But go back down when I hear his voice, my brother. He says the last thing he ever did to me. Sister dear don't ever stop looking, figure out who will do it, who will do this to me, and always remember I love you, stay strong sister dear, stay strong .
