Nate’s POV I run up the stairs leading to my dorm room as fast as my legs can carry me, my right hand itching for some kind of painful attention. Once I reach there, I rush into my room slamming the door harshly behind me.Hurrying over to my desk drawer, I slump myself down on the chair rummaging through various stuff. My fingers frantically run over papers, pens, markers, a photo of Alex and various other items until I suddenly withdraw my hands as my finger tips slice over the sharp object, a blade, what I was looking for.I quickly drag it out from the dresser not caring the burn of my freshly cut finger tips. I pull out my right hand and roll my paint stained hoodie sleeves up revealing my right wrist now littered with a lot of cuts along with black burn marks underneath it.It was two days after I started burning myself with candle wax, that I tried cutting myself for the first time. I was shaving when I decided to experi

Ethan’s POV Cutting — using a sharp object to cut your own skin on purpose until it bleeds — is a form of self-injury. People sometimes self-injure by burning their skin with the lit end of a cigarette, a lighter, or a match. Some people turn to this behaviour when they have problems or painful feelings and haven't found another way to cope or get relief.Most of the time, people who cut themselves don't talk about it or let others know they’re doing it. But sometimes they confide in a friend. Sometimes a friend might find out in another way.Without help, people who cut also may continue to feel socially isolated and depressed. People who self-injure may have other problems such as eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or severe depression that require long-term professional care." Hey..! ", Gavin calls from my behind. I turn around on t

" Sir, this girl is the one who started the fight. She twisted Amelia's wrist and then slapped Kevin.", Sophia tells the principal whilst pointing at Grace " No sir, they are actually the ones who started it.", Grace says glaring at Sophia. " We were simply walking to the locker room. Then these four came to us to fight." " Shut up ! All of you come to my office right now !", Principal roars at Grace and then barges to his office. A few other teachers disperses the crowd who had gathered around the scene. Tony and the three of them has prominent smirks on their faces as the eight of us follows the Principal to his office. Their faces say that they are just going to get out of this easily and we are the ones going to get punishment. Apparently the other guy who fought Tony is Ethan's friend and his name is Gavin. Ethan and he were conversing with each other, tensely as we walked to the office. I too was really nervous. But Grace s

Ethan’s POVI feel inexplicably happy as the last bell rings. I quickly grab my book and stuff and walk out of the classroom. Today is actually the best day in my two and half years in Westview. Those two assholes got dismissed from school and the other two bitches got suspended. I'm finally free. I can finally have a peaceful school life. I can't help but smile from my heart at everyone I pass on the corridor. People are confused and only a few smile back at me. But I keep on smiling as I happily skip through the corridors and down the plethora of steps, my eyes searching for Michael's baby blue ones. He might not have gone back to dorm so soon today. He might be somewhere here with Grace. But I don't see them even after walking through the corridors for a long time. And I don't see Gavin too. Anyway I'm going to Michael's room today. I've some works there. Also I changed my earlier plan. I'm not finding questions alone from half portion of the

Ethan’s POV" Hey guys, any plans for evening?", Gavin asks out of the blue while the four of us are sitting in the canteen having our lunch. " No..why ?", Grace asks. " Let's go out evening?", Gavin raises an eyebrow, looking at Grace. " Uhm ?", she asks taken aback. " I mean let's all go out somewhere after school.", Gavin says. " Where ?", I ask. " To a movie ?", Gavin asks. I think about it quickly. " But according to rule, we need to get back at hostel at 7 PM.", I say. " We can come back by 8. Let's climb the back gate. No body will find out.", Gavin says. " Okay, I'm up for it.", Grace instantly says. " What will happen if...w..warden find out ?", Michael asks. " He won't find out. Nothing will happen.", Gavin says. " Uhmm..okay.", Michael nods. " I haven't even went to movies s..skipping class.", he says.
