"Your so ugly that I can't even look at you for three seconds without visibly cringing, I mean look a that, is that a piece of paper on your chest or what?, raisins?"
The entire cafeteria erupted in laughter as she shrunk back fighting the already falling tears staring hard at the floor silently begging the ground to open and swallow her whole.
And if she had her way, she wouldn't bother coming back out.
"I suggest you just die and do the whole world a favour, no one cares about you anyways" he said with a scoff. Ms blonde bitch clinging so tight to his arm that anyone who saw her fingers would know that they would leave marks.
I ran.
I ran and ran and ran until I reached a bridge. Staring down at the deep and the endless blue darkness of beneath.
Without a second thought, I jumped
Falling...
It felt like forever till I was engulfed by the wet mass that I was once above.
Resisting from struggling, the sharp pierces of water in the wrong parts of my body stung.
In all this there was silence.. Peace perhaps?
I realized that was what I wanted
Feeling something surround my waist, I blacked out into nothingness
My last thought being...death?

Avery's POV
Hey, my name is Avery Bolton but people just call me Aves for short. I'm 19 years old, my dad abuses me...well did and my mum is in jail.
Now I know want your thinking, she probably in there for something bad but actually she's in there for trying to protect 'dad' from going to jail for something he did to me. And now that I think about it, that was actually pretty stupid because you just ended up leaving me with him for the next eight years.
I draw.
Its just something that had helped me escape the harsh grip of reality, taking me into a whole new world I always managed to create out of my mere imagination and a lead.
"Hey Aves, are you ready for the best adventure of your life?" My best friend said. Her names Chloe and she is a total hottie and we've been friends for two years.
I chuckled. "Its just college Chloe get over it"
"Yeah, the big ocean where you'll catch the finest, hottest and baddest fishes in the entire universe"
"I rolled my eyes and squinted pursing my lips. The fact that she classified the male population as aquatic animals and the thought of actually schooling in the ocean got me pondering for while.
I felt my arm being pulled to my car and heard Chloe muttering something about me always being lost in thought.
I got into the driver seat of my Audi r8 and made my way to our college. How can I afford this you ask?. Well let's just say I'm an unknown artist and book editor. You'd be surprised the amount people would want to pay for a piece of art or just to get their texts edited.
I'm so glad to be able to get away from the house for one, mainly cause of my dad and all the bad memories in there.
I heard a flash go off and turned to Chloe to see her taking pics of me. I rolled me eyes.
"Damn, you look good in black" Chloe stated. Well I look good in everything.
Two years of maturing and all that exercise finally paid off. I now had what you would call a perfect body. Not to brag or anything just stating facts.
During those years, I became this bad girl called Avery Bolton. I name everyone feared as well as respected.
After six hours of driving, we finally arrived at 'Brooks college' which by the way was written in big bold letters at the top of the building.
This is one of the best schools in the world. And no I didn't pay for it, I'm actually here on a 100% off scholarship. I'm bad, not dumb.
I parked my car and woke up a sleeping Chloe to get out to which she jolted awake and screamed 'wooooo where here!'. Yes she's crazy.
I swear it was like we slow motioned towards the registration building. Everyone stopped and stared. The guys with lust and the girls burning with jealousy.
We made our way to the register and met a middle aged lady.
"Hi how can I help you?"
"We're new students, Avery Bolton and Chloe Fairs"
"Uh okay.." She drawled whilst checking her computer.
"We have two available rooms for your names. One is with a guy and the other with a girl. I'm sorry we had a lot of entries this year"
"I'll take the one with the guy" I stated knowing Chloe even if she's a badass loves her girl time and wouldn't be able to handle having a boy around for too long.
She smiled at me. A silent thank you. I smiled back.
"So I suppose its settled. Please sign this and here are your room keys" she said with a pleasant smile and I'm relieved that she isn't like other stuck up, sleep deprived, cranky people that are always rude. Although she might just be in a good mood.
I was a floor above Chloe. We said our goodbyes and I made my way to my room through the elevator. This university was top notch.
402.., 403.., 404..
Ah hah! 405. It was written in gold cursive numbers in contrast to the brownish door.
I opened the door to meet an empty room. No wait apartment? -ish. Perks of being smart I guess.
It had a living space, an open plan kitchen and well two doors which I guessed were the bedrooms and one bathroom. Great, ..the down side. No one was here. 'Well that's a plus' I thought.
The bedroom doors had 1 and 2 written on them and my keys said '2' so I went in there knowing the other one belonged to my roommate.
I got changed into a big shirt that reached me mid thigh, pulled my hair into a messy bun and took my supplements which one for some reason made me scent of berries. Like the scent oozed out from my skin, mostly my neck.
I put on some perfume and made my way over to the kitchen.
I was having cereal in the kitchen when someone waltzed in. A guy. He was wearing sweatpants that hung low on his waist and was shirtless. Did i mention he was hot. Smoking hot.
He made his way over to the fridge and got a can of soda out. I'm pretty sure that he didn't see me cause he turned and was about to walk out when he stopped and turned his head I'm my direction, eyes slightly widened in surprise before returning back to normal.
He looked familiar. I squinted and took a hard look at him. I paled in realisation as my breath became uneven.
Him.
No. No no no no no no no no no just no.
Its him.
