Raine grabbed her books out of her locker and put them into her bag afraid she would run into her brother again; she knew he’d show up at her locker again that day and wanted to avoid that at every cost. Without looking at the guy she knew he had walked up to her. Glancing at him she didn’t reply to him, not sure if she should tell him anything. “Just be careful, he can…he’s dangerous.” Looking back into her locker she checked to see if she needed anything out of it making a mental checklist in her head.<span style="font-style: italic">Books.. Binder..Pens..Pencils…and last but not least, a small first aid kit..</span>Seeing the last item in her locker she grabbed it putting it in her bag hoping he hadn’t noticed. Rubbing her sore arm she knew it would be a long day carrying the heavy backpack around. At least it would be better than having to face her brother again before school ended. She missed when she was didn’t go to the same school as him.<br/><br/>Without looking at him she nodded slightly instead of answering him. Her life at home was getting worse every day. She wished she could say the beatings were the worst of it all but they weren’t, wished they were the only that happened since she knew it wouldn’t stop altogether, but knowing that would never happen she could only wish for it. Closing her locker and pulling the heavy bag onto both of her shoulders she looked at him, never knowing his life used to be the same way as hers. She could only hope it wasn’t as bad for him as it was for her, wishing no-one had to go through the same things she did every day. Watching him go Raine pulled her new schedule out of her pocket and looked at it. Seeing she was headed the same way as the lion she was hoping she wasn’t in the same class as him, or at least not his partner.<br/><br/>Walking into the classroom she went over to the teacher sat in his chair. Getting her question answered she looked up to see where Jay sat, regretting it the moment she saw him. Her new lab partner.
