Igot ready that morning with a newfound sense of living. Puckâs right. Who is to say this is all I have? That these four walls are the only part of the world Iâll get to see? That I canât have a happy ending like everyone else does? That I donât get to experience love?
Nobody should get to dictate that part of me. Especially my dad.
He might hate me, he might hide me and treat me like Iâm nothing and no one, but I know who I am.
Puck knows who I am.
I dress in record time and run through the house, expecting to see Puck, King, or Dax, but theyâre nowhere to be found, and it isnât until Maria catches me flying past her that she laughs at my confusion.
âItâs Monday, dear. Theyâre at school.â
I scrunch my eyes tight, trying to recall where the weekend went, but then the pounding in my head comes back, and I guess all the crying and the general overwhelming emotions from yesterday fogged my brain.
âCome on, missy,â Maria says, tutting as she walks past me, and I follow her into one of the studies that we use as a classroom.
Itâs a very bland room, with beige walls and hardwood floors and one window on the far side. There is a bookcase with some textbooks, paper and pens, but thatâs about it. As if classes werenât boring enough sometimes, I have to sit in this dull room and try to feel motivated, whilst thinking of the boys getting to go to a real school.

I huff out a loud breath and drop the heavy book on the table.
âAlthough maybe there is one side of biology I should be teaching you.â Her eyebrows raise, and I furrow my eyebrows.
In my confused silence, a small smirk appears on her face.
âLike what happens when one starts having thoughts about someone else.â
My mouth pops open whilst my cheeks flame in embarrassment.
âMaria,â I start, not actually knowing what to say next.
âDo you want to talk about it? Do you have any questions?â
âWoah.â I stand, my palms growing clammy.
âIâm just being cautious, dear.â
âIâm fourteen!â I exclaim.
âAnd youâre growing up, feeling new feelings. I just want to make sure you know you can come to me,â Maria says softly, nodding back to the chair for me to sit back down.
âMaria, I donât think itâs necessary,â I whisper, tucking my chair back into the table.
âYou might not, but itâs important you know how to manage these feelings and urges.â
âOh God, Maria, I donât have any urges. We only kissed for the first time yesterday. I'm not having sex with him.â
As soon as the words slip out of my mouth, my cheeks get hotter, and I want nothing more than to curl up into a ball.
