Chapter 33

*****Sofia's POV*****

Waking up for school to my new iPhone ring tone was a first in a long time...

Smiling, I unlocked the phone which had not many apps downloaded yet at all, and clicked on to my text chat with Emma.

I had paid for a SIM card and had used fifteen dollars of my money to top it up for now.

'Morning! I'll meet you at the front doors?' I send the text to her, before locking the phone and moving to get ready for school.

Wearing a pair of jeans and a thick jacket, I tie my curly hair up into a messy bun using a couple of clips to secure it - making it look as though I had at least put some effort in to the look.

I dreaded seeing both Vincent and Daryl today, with plans to avoid both of them at all costs... that is until after break when I have to face Vincent for extra credit in the storage room!

First I had English though, which was beginning to grow on me since I sat beside Emma now. Thankfully I had asked Daryl to swap seats with Emma when I did considering how awkward things were between us now - I would die knowing that I would have to sit with him for just short of two hours today!

I leave my apartment, heading downstairs and outside always thankful that my neighbours seemed to be allergic to the morning air...

I got to school in record time, feeling sort of good about myself as I held my 'new' phone in my hand and connected to the schools Wi-Fi as soon as I was in proximity. It felt normal, as though I was just another undamaged teenager like the rest of them...

"Sofia!" Emma calls me over, as I almost miss her due to having my head buried in my phone trying to download some games and things to help pass my time whenever I'm at home.

"Seen any of the devils yet?" I remark, locking the phone and giving her my full attention not wanting to be rude.

The 'devils' was the new nickname we had given to Vincent and Daryl, both on the look out for them at all times moving forward to make my life a little easier.

"Nope! Maybe we should get to class early and be seated for when they arrive? Less awkward..." Emma suggests as I instantly nod and follow her inside, weaving our way through the sea of students with five minutes to spare before the bell.

I told Emma everything that Daryl had told me, and she seemed shocked to hear that Vincent told him he had kissed me before he actually did...
