thankfully Diana and I had our first lesson together: Chemistry, she led me to our classroom whilst showing me the lunch hall and lockers on the way.

We made our way to the classroom and entered a blast of noise hit me, boys sat on decks throwing paper around. Groups of girls in the corners in huddles whispering with hands to hide the secrets they shared, Diana squeezed my hand "you'll be fine follow me," I was led by into the classroom, eyes following me as i walked

"look what the cats dragged in, huh?" a deep voice hollered from the back, stood was a tall slim built boy, his greasy fair hair flopped on his forehead.

My fists curled in a ball and my nails dug into my skin, Diana pushed me in front of her and sat me down on the other side of the classroom. "ignore him, he's an asshole and a big one too,"

Diana looked at me sympathetically, she held my hand and rubbed it, showing she cared. "its fine, really," i turned to face the front as the teacher thankfully walked in calming the class down.

"Sit down Andrews!" I turned to see who she was talking to, the same scrawny boy sat down, his friends with him too. "and it seems we have a new student today, Anne, correct?" the teacher walked towards my desk, a smile on her face, she wasn't being rude, just welcoming me i shuffled my feet, looked up "er yes, with an e," I corrected her

"okay then anne with an e, my name's Miss Baxter, I've heard good things about you," she started to walk back to her desk, she smiled at me and I too smiled, I liked this lady, she was a happy person.

"yeah I heard that the little rat has no family or money, just her lonely little whimpering self and that retched ugly hair,"

my mouth twitched, fist held, heart breaking, I haven't even made it 15 mins into the first lesson and already my hair was mentioned. I didn't care about the family or money, I had accepted that and I can change that. My hair won't change though, as much as I'd like it to.

"Andrews that's detention after school today, and you can clean out the sport equipment cupboard," miss raised her eyebrow at the boy and went back to writing on the board.

Diana held my hand again and apologised for Andrews who I've learnt is called billy and he's a horrible bully who doesn't mean it personally, he's just not a nice person. It felt nice to already have two people to support me, Diana and Miss Baxter.

I heard some sniggering from the desk behind me and someone nudge my shoulder, I expected whoever it was (most likely billy and his stupid friends) wanted a reaction from me and I wasn't going to give it to them so I continued to pull my textbooks from my bag and write the date and title for the lesson, pH levels: acids and alkalis.

I was so tempted to turn around and have a stern word with whichever stupid boys thought it was a good idea to mess with me, but I wasn't going to let them make me angry, I promised Marilla I wouldn't make a scene and since she's my kindred spirit I was not going to break that promise.

"Ah shit, sorry, I didn't mean to er um," I looked down at the flask of blue liquid now drenched into my jeans. My jaw dropped open to the maximum I turned around to see a boy, his face full of guilt and surprise, the brown curls of his hair shining in the light of the window, his deep eyes staring right at me. "What ? Why did you do that?" I asked him with so much confusion, why on earth did that boy just reach forward and knock my flasks over? What was he doing ?
"Anne I'm so sorry I really am that's not what I meant to do," I looked back at the boy

"Yeah as if, I'm sure it was part of one of Billy's wicked plans to ruin my day, Well, congratulations because I will never forgive you for this!"

I excused myself and giggles were coming from the class mates as I walked to the front to get to the door.

"What is it ? What is so funny?" I asked the class my face burning in anger and embarrassment

"Oh Anne, dear, there's something on your back,"
