Hey guys!! Hope you're all okay (:

❥

I wake up still in a good mood, the museum last night was amazing.

I wake up seconds before my alarm so I have to slam it off when it rings out, I groan. Ellie would know I was with Issac last night I felt bad but why should I? Issac is my friend.

It's the first proper day of my course today, I'm beyond excited. I get up and go get my morning shower, feeling refreshed I do my hair leaving it in natural waves and leave makeup, I don't have that much time plus I have good skin, I cleanse every morning and night.

I put some denim jeans and a black crop top on, with a woolly cardigan. I've decided to move away from my usual oversized hoodie, all the girls are always dressed so nice and feminine and I want to do the same and fit in.

I get the bus to college and get here 20 minuets before my lesson so I sit down in the refectory. I hadn't talked to mom this morning because I was in a rush by the time I got ready, I know I'm 20 minuets early but there's only a bus every hour.

"Hey Darcy" Ellie, Yasmin and Amelia all sit down at my table, I smile at them all, "Hey guys"

"How was last night with Issac?" Ellie cuts straight to the point, "It was really good thanks. He took me to the museum. Don't worry it was only a friend thing I didn't want anything more, I know you still don't like it that much but I don't want us to fall out over this" I frown at Ellie.

"No I'm sorry nor do I, I just really like him and I'm easily jealous" She frowns looking apologetic, "Maybe you can try get me and him together?" She smiles brightly at me.

"I can try but no promises it'll work out" I smile, "Thank you" She takes my hand and squeezes it while Yasmine gets her lunch out.

"What? A gal hungry" She rolls her eyes when we all look her way with laughter.

"We should all go out sometime" Amelia smiles, stealing Yasmine's food making her groan and squat her hand away, "Where to?" I'd never had friends before, well I have but not like this.

I was always a lonely kid at primary school and high school, no friends really, everyone just classed me as the freak and I went with it, no on really picked on me except from a few girls but it never really bothered me because after a while I started to believe their horrible words so the insults didn't effect me.

"Shopping, a meal, anything- oh! My family is having a barbecue this weekend if you're interested" Amelia smiles, "Issac will be there he's being forced this time" She giggles over at Ellie.

"Why will Issac be there?" I frown, maybe she'd invited him, "Well he is my brother" Amelia laughs, what? They're related? I had no idea.

"Didn't you know?" Yasmine raises her eyebrows, "They look so alike" Amelia shakes her head at this acting mortified by looking like her brother, "Sorry I didn't even think, why is he being forced?" I frown.

"Oh because he never comes to family parties he doesn't show his face ever, not since Andrew" She frowns, "But he's agreed to come to this one, for some reason, he told me to invite my friends so, I did"

"I bet he's only going because he'd know you'd invite me" Ellie smirks, I feel bad for thinking that wasn't the case since Issac had shown no interest with Ellie but I'm not gonna ruin her little moment so I just smile.

"So is everyone coming?" Amelia looks hopeful, her green eyes scan us all. Ellie and Yasmine say yes but I'm not sure, "Darcy?" She connects her eyes with mine, "Are you gonna come?"

"I really appreciate the offer it's very sweet but I'm not sure" I say nervously, I hate letting people down, "That's okay, just let me know" She smiles without a question to why I couldn't come.

When the class starts I walk into a room of computers, it's a small but lengthy room, a board at the front with Kate's desk.

I sit down at the back away from everyone until Issac walks in and snags the chair behind me, "Why aren't you coming?" He pokes me in the back.

"Hello to you too" I roll my eyes and turn around to face him, he looks upset and a bit annoyed, "What are you talking about?" I raise my eyebrows.

"My family's stupid barbecue, why aren't you coming?" His questions come out harsh nerving me, why was he upset with me? I didn't like upsetting people, "I don't know" I mumble looking down.

"Well you should come" He cuts, "Why do you want me to go so bad?" I shyly look up but don't make eye contact, "Because apart from college when do you leave the house?" I stumble for a reply leaving a silence between us, "Exactly" He grunts. How dare he even say that?

I turn away from him, why was he so angry that I'm not going? Does it matter?

Who would want you there anyways?

She only invited you out of pity.

Even he knows how sad you are never leaving the house.

No one wants you there.

I shake my head several times gaining a head ache, zoning out of the noisy class room, my head pounding, shaking.

"Darcy? I'm sorry, Darcy" Issac holds my hand, shaking me gently until I come back into the room, the loud noise makes my head worse, I'm so confused why is he apologising now?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of been so harsh with my tone. I just want you to come" He gently turns me around to face him, bending his neck down so his sparkly eyes are looking into mine.

"If I go will you come? Will you do that for me?" He speaks gently rubbing a circle into the back of my hand, the connection between our hands, skin on skin is making me tingly, "I know you don't like going out and being around people much but you'll be safe don't worry, I'll look after you" He smiles. How does he know that?

I nod my head, "Okay" I mumble, my headache was easing after it felt like it had been banging for hours but only possibly for a few moments.

"Thank you" He smiles and kisses my forehead, I widen my eyes at his action and stay stiff. It's made my stomach feel funny but I think in a good way, I don't know why, maybe I'm coming down with something?

Only Ezra kisses my forehead, I've only known this boy a week why am I letting him kiss my forehead?

I look at him for a few minutes, our faces are close and I don't quite know what to make of it, everyone else in the classroom seem to just disappear, I enjoy Issac's company, he was calming like he knew what he was doing.

"You didn't tell me Amelia was your sister" I say quietly squeezing his hand telling him not to move, I like feeling like we're the only ones in the room, like we have all this to ourselves, "I thought you would know, sorry" He laughs gently stroking my cheek, all this contact made me feel funny, I'm definitely ill.

Why am I allowing this much bodily connection? I need to make him stop doing it.

Kate walks in taking us out of our conversation and lesson starts. We get to draw today, just something that we like or feel passionate about, Issac drew a beautiful lion and I drew a night sky full of twinkling stars, stars always relax me at night, plus they're really pretty.

"What did you draw?" Henry bops his head over my way, "That's so pretty!" He smiles at it, "Thank you" I return his kind smile and look over at his, he had drew a gay couple kissing, "Love is love" I smile looking up at him, he nods, looking very appreciative with my compliment.

After the first half of lesson it's break, I grab some food and sit by myself at a table, "Hey girl" Henry sits next to me, I smile, "Hey Henry, you okay?" I bite into my sandwich.

"I'm okay, how are you? You looked a bit pale in class" He frowns. Henry's nice, I met him on the first day and he was at the party, before I left we had a little chat, "Yeah just a bit nervous, first class nerves?" I laugh not sure if that's a thing.

"So how's, things?" I raise my eyebrow, last time we spoke he'd had boy troubles, "Well I haven't seen Eric since the party, I did see him this morning he was looking finneee but I think he's avoiding me" He frowns.

"Have you told him how you feel?" I sit back, I don't know how any boy couldn't like Henry, he's such a beautiful personality and isn't bad looking, "Well yes, I've made it obvious but it's complicated" He mumbles, "Why?" I pick at my fruit.

"Because he's straight" Henry says quickly and quietly thinking I wouldn't hear, "Whose straight?" Issac joins us sitting down, "Henry you fell for a straight guy?" I'm sat up in alarm surely he wouldn't set himself up for heartbreak like that?, "Wait you're gay?" Issac mumbles with his mouth full.

"Can you hush we're having a serious conversation" I swat at him, he roll his eyes. "Sorry princess" He winks, "Yes I'm gay, like hello, I'm almost to gay to function" Henry hair flips the air, "Fancy swinging my way?" He winks at Issac making me giggle.

"No thanks Damian, I think I'll stick the way I'm going" Issac pulls a face, "Suit yourself, missing out on all this" He signals his body.

"Is it that bad?" Henry goes back into crisis mode slumping back in his chair, "Well yes, I don't know how it would work unless you turn him?" I suggest, "If it's meant to be, it'll be" Issac nods.

"That's very romantic coming from someone like you" I smirk at him, "What do you mean someone like me?" He looks at me all defensive making me laugh, "From your history with girls I didn't think you'd be the romantic type considering the most time you've spent with most of them is one night" I raise my eyebrows, "Yeah well, not my fault I'm gorgeous" He shrugs winking at me,

"Is my Darling Darcy jealous?" The biggest smirk appears on his face.

"No" I shake my head, "Wait, why are you sitting here with us?" I frown my eyebrows, his friends were standing by the door surely he'd go to them?

"Charming" Issac laughs, "I wanted to sit with you? Do you want me to go?" He raises his eyebrows, "No!" I say a little bit to desperate making him smirk, the truth is I like Issac's company very much.

"Oh hey Issac, what a treat" Ellie sits down with Yasmine and Amelia, "What do you think of first lesson?" Ellie asks him directly, not to us.

"Boring" He shrugs, "Yeah same, it's so boring" Ellie replies straight away rolling her eyes, "I really like it, I really love art and Kate's amazing" I smile putting my voice across even though no one asked, "Same! What did you draw?" Amelia smiles over at me, "Stars, you?" I munch on my food, "Dolphins, I do love them" She beams.

"I guess your right, it is rather fun" Issac smiles at me, I knew he'd start enjoying it.

❥

Home time, finally.

Ezra parks up on the carpark and gets out to walk over to me at the entrance and buries me in a hug, I smile into his nice warm chest feeling safe.

"I miss you so much when you're not at home on my days off" He fake cries making me giggle, "I'm a student girl now" I make my index finger and my thumbs into an arrow and point them at him making him laugh.

"I know, so proud of you" He kisses my forehead, "How were you today?" He ask's, his tone serious, "I was ok" I smile shyly.

"Darling Darcy, I'll see you tomorrow, you still better be coming to my barbecue, I'm only going to see you" Issac walks out smiling at me, Ezra instantly gives him the once over.

"Issac this is my brother Ezra, Ezra this is my friend Issac" I smile, "Friend? Aren't you insanely in love with me yet?" Issac winks, "It's nice to meet you" Ezra clears his throat putting his hand out for Issac to shake.

Issac looks at his hand oddly for a few minutes like he's never done this before but then shakes his hand, "Nice to meet you too man" He smiles, "I'll see ya tomorrow Darc, try not to miss me to much" He winks before walking off, "I won't"

"So that's Issac?" Ezra raises his eyebrows.

"That's Issac"
