Every year there's a dance on the first night for Year Nine students only because school administrators think it's the best way for students to meet one another. 242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b8TbPETv3

I didn't go to my Year Nine dance. Instead, I found a crabapple tree outside and huddled under it, hugging my legs to my chest and burying my face in my knees. I needed no more proof that Dad and The Stepmother really didn't care about me.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg49LAMWlqv

I could faintly hear an older Janet Jackson song playing from the direction of the dance. I imagined my batchmates shyly and awkwardly introducing themselves. They would all probably be fast friends by the time this night was over, and I would be an outcast again--just like I was at my old school and even within my family.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdinxUAyFaO

I shifted my head slightly to see who was talking. A guy stood there, his legs slightly apart, hands clasped behind his back. I turned my face into my knees.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpANRczojZ

The grass hardly rustled as he sat down beside me, despite what I'd just said. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of riling me, so I kept quiet. Still, I tilted my head just enough to the right so I could see who this guy was.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xjpg0I7LY

He looked to be around my age. His dark hair was slicked to the side, as if he'd just washed up. Perhaps he had. He whistled softly, leaning back on his hands with his face turned up to the sky. It definitely wasn't his cutting cheekbones or hazel eyes that made me decide not to punish him because my dad had abandoned me here.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTiYLxY6Y

"A year," he said, his gaze still on the darkening sky. So he was a Year Ten student, then.242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8iArMd7Po
