Chapter 1 Prologue

This is my life my sad pathetic life and it’s all thanks to one person that I prefer to call “the devil”; Ashton or Asher Barraman, he got me sent to this hell hole I left my old life behind when I was fourteen yes I’ve spent three years almost for at clayfields boarding school. Ashton was the bad boy of the school, every girl drooled over him, every guy wanted to be like him, that was until me. I hated the twat with a passion he was an egotistical prick he thought no one was better than him that was until I proved him wrong.

I know I was fourteen but boy the look on his face was priceless when I stared strutting around with a leather jacket and dark clothes on, and he pinned me and told me to stop following him around like a lost sheep and acting as if I was someone special when I wasn’t. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He hated the fact his friends were now mine on the fact I acted as myself and not a scared shy girl I was portrayed to be. I was me.

Everything from that day on made me contemplate that I should’ve kept my true self to myself seeing how angry Ashton had got the day he told me I would regret the day I entered his world. I ignored it and ignored him like the plague, but we crashed and we burned and he eventually had me expelled, for a fight he caused. This was my third and final year and I couldn’t wait to return home and show him I survived this hell hole with help of one special person Bentley Jovanni the half English half Italian sixteen year old he was the bad boy of this hell hole and he saw prospect in me like my other friends; Ashley, Conley, Santiago, Hannah, Hazel. Lily and Ellie.

We were the most feared teenagers in our school; no one dared to say “boo” to us.

They all knew the story of how I ended up there and they were prepared for a fight or war whichever came first once we all got out of this hell hole next summer. I couldn’t wait to show that jumped up prick by sending me away hadn’t changed me just made me grow a backbone and gain friends who took me for me and I would give him the biggest “fuck you!” Ever.

Another six months and I’d be heading home for good with my friends by my side brothers and sisters to the end. Let me introduce myself ; Courtney Mendez the bad girl of Courston Boarding School.
