To my surprise the rest of my lessons passed by quite quickly. The whole day I was just thinking about the gym. Sad I know but I really needed to let off some steam. Once classes were over I had to get away from Becks and Lee.

"I will see you guys in a bit." I excused myself

"Where you going?" Becks asked.

"To the principle but I don't know how long I will be so just wait in our room for me." I told them and walked off.

I walked up the stair to the second floor in the hope of avoiding Becks and Lee. I walked to the left not really having any idea here I was going. I walked all the way to the bottom of the corridor when I spotted it.

The gym was huge! I walked in and it was like some kind of heaven. I saw a pile of posters in the corner so I walked over and picked them up. I walked back down the corridor putting up a few posters here and there.

As I wondered around the school I discovered many things I had never noticed like an indoor swimming pool since when did we get that? The corridors were empty which seemed really wired because during school time there were loads of people but there was no one up here using all this amazing stuff.

I stumbled across a pool table as well! It was in a really colourful room with bean bags and a huge sofa, there was a huge TV and surround sound as well as arcade games but again it was empty. I guess no one knew about it but I defiantly knew where I would be hanging out from now on!

I quickly put posters up in the girl's corridor because I did not want to get caught by Becks and Lee just yet. As I walked down the corridor and heard screaming about someone's hair or how someone had said something to them earlier. As I put up the posters I heard about 10 different groups of girls be nasty about another girl.

After the girls corridor I moved onto the boy's corridor. There were a lot of boys wandering the corridors and even the occasional boy shouting at the TV because he died in COD or another game. It made me laugh how the two corridors were so different. The boys seemed calmer despite the shouting. There were also pretty much all the boys piled into one room all watching a football game. The boys had a real sense of community unlike the girl's corridor where there were no more than 5 in a room. Whatever the boy's secret was the girls defiantly needed to learn it.

After all the posters were gone I rushed back to the gym. I walked in for the second time and that's when I saw it, a boxing ring complete with a punch bag and other boxing equipment. I grabbed the gloves from off the rail in the corner. I squared up to the punch bag. I took a deep breath and got into my stance and then I let my anger take over. I repeatedly hit the bag as hard as I could in no particular pattern.

I had no idea how long I was punching the bag but it must have been a while because sweat was now dripping down me. Defiantly not my best look but I didn't care. I let all my hurt and anguish flow out. I didn't feel like stopping yet. I felt no pain. I was in the zone, I thought of nothing else except my anger, letting it control me.

"What are you doing here?" a voice demanded. I ignored it. I didn't want to stop I had too much anger left in me. "I am talking to you." The voice snapped.

I couldn't help what happened next. I was just so annoyed. I turned and punched them in the face. A body fell to the floor with a crash. It took me a moment to process what I had just done. I just stood with my mouth open.

"What was that for?" He asked. It was the boy from chemistry.

"Don't annoy me if you don't want to get hit." I answered my voice more aggressive than normal if that is even possible.

"What is wrong with you?" He questioned.

"A lot." I replied truthfully. "What about you?" I asked.

"What about me?"

"Whats wrong with you?"

"My parents dumped me at this stupid school that's what's wrong."

"That's all?" I asked stunned.

"What do you mean that's all. I doubt you have a hard life."

"Ptsh you have no idea I have been through more than anyone else and a whole lot more."

"Yer right like what?"

"Almost being shot by gangsters then hiding in a cupboard for my life then witness protection program with two boys went out with one of them and he hit me a lot, scary gangster guy comes back and tries to kill me I go home my parents kick me out for being beaten then I get sent back to England get embarrassed at my prom the other dude from witness protection comes to my prom declares his love then I live at his house, find out he has been cheating on me and made him and his new girlfriend into a violently vomiting red omelette then got kicked out of school go to a new school and smash lockers after being humiliated then get knocked out and taken to a school for nuns get locked in a cupboard by a cyco nun then attempt to escape then escaped through a high window stay in the forest for ages then came here." I said as quickly as possible. His mouth fell open.

"No wonder you are messed up." He said.

"Yer I know, now hold the punching bag so I can hit it harder." I asked.

He held onto the punching bag "So you have no one?" He asked.

"Nope only Betsy." I replied.

"Who's Betsy?" he inquired.

"What is Betsy." I corrected he looked confused so I continued. "Betsy is my baseball bat that I used to damage my second school and I carry it with me at all times."

"How?" he asked.

"What did you think was in the bag? Books?" I said jokingly.

"Yes that's what is supposed to be in there." He answered as if I was insane.

"Whatever." I sighed. We drifted into silence as I kept hitting the bag whilst he held it still.

"You got a lot of anger haven't you?" He asked breaking the long silence.

"You have no idea." I answered honestly.

"I think I am going to go." He said "It's now half nine."

"Wow really?" I asked.

"Yep."

"I better leave as well. Becks will kill me."

"Whats your name?" he asked.

"Teri. And you?"

"Jace" He replied as he left the gym.
