• tab The next morning, Emily woke up early and got dressed for school. She wasn't in any hurry; I mean it was school, no big deal. Another day of being ignored and walked all over, Emily thought. It was going to be like any other school day; lonely, boring, and. . . Nothing. On her way to school, she felt different today. As if something good were going to happen. It was odd, the atmosphere never felt like this before. Ah well, maybe I'm just having weird, crazy hallucinations, Emily thought.
    tab Emily walked into the school, something did feel different. She looked around curiously, still wit that emotionless expression, thinking if there was an event going on. Emily shrugged and moved on. Students walked by minding their own business. Emily watched ever person interact with one another. She always thought it was weird. she'd see people exchange hugs, or sometimes a kiss. Emily always wondered what love was like, then she got herself out of the thought and got grossed out.
    tab The bell finally rang, and everyone headed to their first period class. Emily took a seat in her Language Arts class, and watched everyone else take their own seats. After everyone was seated, she noticed someone unfamiliar walk into the class. It was a boy. He gave the same emotionless expression Emily had. She gave him a cold look.Though, the boy didn't notice. "Good morning students! Today we have a new arrival in our class, please introduce yourself, Logan." Mrs. Harmony said enthusiastically. ". . . The names Logan Copperfield. . ." Logan mumbled. "Logan, you may have a seat in that empty desk right by Emily." This irritated Emily. Why of all things would I want to some stranger? Why would anybody? Logan seemed just as annoyed, but took the seat anyway.
    tab Emily rolled her eyes, and looked away. This is gonna be a long day, Emily thought.
    tab The day went by like a blur. It was lunchtime, and as always, Emily sat in the empty table, in the corner, alone. Emily had nothing in mind. All that troubled here was the new kid. Logan was but a nuisance. Maybe he was mocking Emily. Who knows? He is the new kid.
    tab Everyone crowded around Logan like an animal on display at the zoo. Emily noticed that he was completely ignoring all the questions the other kids were throwing at him. She tilted her head and watched curiously. This was odd. He was different from all the others... Just like her. Emily looked away, this this was definately getting under her skin. She felt a presence coming closer to her table. emily ignored it. "You're Emily.... Right?..." Emily turned her head and faced him. She stared for awhile. What sparked her attention was that Logan... was very... attractive. His hair was long and slightly curly, covering his beautiful blue eyes. His pale skin reflected the light. "Yeah I'm Emily.... What's it to ya?" she finally replied looking away. "Well all of the people here are surrounding me with questions, which got annoying, and I seemed to notice you were here by yourself..." He mumbled, looking down with a sulk. "The normal people are always annoying..." Emily replied rolling her eyes.
    tab He raised his eyebrows, curiously, and took a seat. "what do you mean by 'normal' huh?.."
    tab "That's what I refer to them. Since they always call me weird and emotionless. So that's pretty much why.." Emily grumbled.
    tab "Really?... Well... I could see why... You're alwaysso quiet... And you hardly ever smile... But that's okay...I'm the same way I guess.."
    tab :Logan's eyes wondered around,as if he were thinking of what to sat. His eyes set back on Emily. "Are you usually sitting away from everybody?"
    tab "Pretty much... Why does it matter anyways? You can't trust anybody not even your own shadow." she warned.
    tab "I see where you're getting at... Back where I lived, I didn't have any friends either..."
    tab "Wow.... now tell me why you're even speaking to me?"
    tab "Because... You're not as annoying as everybody else..." Logan looked away, balling his hand into a fist.
    tab Emily noticed, his sleeve lifted up a little, revealing cuts and scars. Did Logan get abused too? Emily stared in awe. Logan looked back at Emily and gave a questioning expression, "What?..."
    tab Emily quickly snapped out of the trance, "I noticed the scars on your wrist.."
    :Tab:"Oh," He quickly pulled up his sleeve."They're nothing..." He looked away again.
