Prologue

It all started when Dad left. He was a selfish, little piece of shattered glass of a Dad. I can’t even call him my father because of what he’s done to my life.

And also Mia’s.

Mia is the only person I love in the whole world, she is always there for me, even if she’s only five and doesn’t always listen to what I ask her to do.

Oh, I forgot, I’m Paige, just Paige; Not Paige Smith or Paige Roberts or any silly thing like that. Mia is just Mia too, if my Dad hadn’t left me with my Mum and Mia by myself I wouldn’t have taken away my Family’s surname but my former Dad abandoned me so I threw it away, like I would throw away a banana peel or a tattered shirt.



After Dad left, Mum started drinking, it got scary when she became drunk.

Her words became slurred and she always vomited around the house, Mia wouldn’t understand but Mum had called us wretched and a curse from the Devil when she drank to much. Once, Mum didn’t come from a long night at the Shark’s Bite Pub, Mia started to cry after eleven pm, we were having fun before that. Playing with her stuffed animals, having tea parties and raiding the once-full cookie jar.

“Sissy and me have so much fun!” She had giggled while we were dancing on her bed like popstars. The sky was turning black but Mum still wasn’t back,

“Where Mummy gone?” She mumbled and her lower lip trembled as her soothed her, it’s not like we need her or anything…

“We need Mummy so much!” Mia wailed and tears wet her cheeks and my arm as I hugged her. From that day, I decided that I’ll keep my family, (Mia) safe even if it would cost my life, she was my special sister and even if I grieved and wished for the days when Dad and Mum, Mia and my runaway brother, Peter would sit by the fireplace and tell each other stories about our day. The warmth of the fire still lingers in my memories, but those days are forever gone.



I almost missed out Peter, reckless, brave Peter. He ran away when I was eleven years old, which is two years ago, I miss him. Mia was really young back then, only three! Mama’s last child had basically no attention when she was born, just another memory of he ex-husband. No one seemed to care for us anymore, but for the first three months of the new start. Mum tried to make us feel better by taking us out for ice-cream, going to parties and making us feel loved but it changed when she…I honestly don’t know what made her cheerful personality change abruptly, she made our lives miserable.

I wonder how Peter is doing now, he was fifteen when he left so, he is probably seventeen. Hopefully he still remembers Mia and also me…

I’m now thirteen, things are getting harder by the second, one day I think Mum is going to lock us up in a cellar! I wish Mum was normal again.

PART 1: TORN AWAY
Chapter 1: First Day
“Have a nice day at school!” Paige yelled to Mia as the small girl skipped along the pathway to Feather Dale Prep. The five-year old’s first day at school had just begun.
"Paigey! Bye - bye!" Mia replied loudly and clung onto her rose-pink teddy bear. I was about to make it a teddy-wolf...
Paige didn't answer but held back an answer but she was in Year 7 now.
"I'm in Middle School now!" Paige muttered under her breath.
"No more yelling in public, I'm not a kid..." Paige looked at her feet as she quietly clutched her books and strolled nervously into the giant building they called a Middle School.
"OMG, I can't believe it!! A new year, new opportunities!"
"I wonder who'll be my teacher this year..."
"I like cupcakes."
Everyone around Paige seemed to have a group or someone to chat to, she was...alone.
All alone, she was the only one standing in the big crowd.
"Hey, wassup?" A voice said, first Paige thought it wasn't meant for her but someone tapped her on the back.
That was meant for her, definitely. Paige jumped back in surprise.
"What's your problem?" Paige snapped aggressively and linked eyes with a boy her age with green eyes and sky blue hair.
"Oh!" Paige muttered as she embarrassingly hid her face behind her stack of books, hoping to disappear.
"Huh, what's wrong?" The boy asked but she just kept silent and swept her light peach pink hair to the side of her face, hoping that question wasn't meant for her.
"Oh, I can just leave if you want me to..." The blue-haired boy murmured and he grabbed his books, about to leave -
"Please don't leave!" Paige suddenly said quietly, just loud enough for her request to reach the boy's ears.
He grinned,
"I'm Adrian!" He said cheerfully and she looked up at him, yep, his hair was really sky-blue.
"Your hair's blue!" That was the first thing she said to Adrian and he looked like he was about to cry -
from laughing.
"Well, your hair is PINK!" Adrian exclaimed mock - accusingly,
"You do have a point there though but it's PEACH pink excuse me!" Paige laughed, she was already taking Adrian to her good side.
"What's your name though, Peach-Pink?" Adrian asked, half giggling.
"Well, it's actually Paige, Blue-Boy!" Paige answered, also swallowing her laughs.
"Ok, then Peach, want to be friends?"
"Hmm..." Adrian looked hurt at the look of Paige's face.
"I'll like that!" Paige grinned and so did her new friend.

"Ugh! I have History..." Paige groaned and Adrian smirked,
"I have..." Adrian took a quick look at his schedule then laughed,
"Oh man, you're so unlucky! I have English"
Paige mock scowled,
"So unfair! At least I have Science afterwards."
"See you at Spanish class?" Adrian asked as he strolled to his class, the other way from Paige.
"See you there!"

2. Science - HG6

4. Social Studies - DK5

"Oh, I better get to AL9!" Paige muttered as the bell howled a familiar, 'DINNG!' A teacher with a black moustache rushed into the hall with his glasses falling off his face yelling,
"Get to your first class!"
She went to the AL - Alison Lee building and looked for Room 9.
"Room 9, Nine Nine??" Paige chewed her peach - hair as she looked for the room.
After five minutes of rushing around the building she decided it was hopeless,
"I'm never going to get to my class!" The new student moaned helplessly and slumped down next to a pot plant.
Suddenly a girl in Designer 'Tiffany and Co.' sunglasses passed her swiftly, the girl had passed her with no notice.
She ought to know where the room is... Paige thought and slowly followed her but the girl still didn't notice, she was to busy checking Instagram on her IPhone 6, the girl kept walking down the hallway and into a small area.
AL9 stood out from everything else.
"Ohh!" Paige whispered and followed the girl into the class, which she was 7 minutes late to.
"Excuse me?!" The teacher snapped while she midway explaining her class something about the World War 2,
The girl stormed into the class with her hands on her hips, phone away,
"What?" She said smoothly,
"Why do you expect me to be all, 'cookies and milk' to you when you're 7 minutes late to my class, Abigail?"
"Uh...Like, cause I want you to?" Abigail said and flicked her silver-black hair then pulled her sunglasses up to her head.
That was the first time Paige had seen her eyes, they were amber with a mix of lilac in them,
"Woah..." She gasped and the teacher turned her eyes to her.
"Well, Missy? What are you doing barging into my class like that?" Paige decided to keep her mouth pursed and to be polite.
"I'm sorry, it's my first time here, I'll never do it again ma'am." She said and looked at her feet, flattening her dress.
The teacher looked shocked then pleased,
"Well, someone here has manners! Call me Mrs. Graham." Mrs. Graham had a 'grandmother' feature and tight pursed lips like she was always sucking on lemon juice.
"OK, where were we? Oh yes, page 72 in History for Year Sevens." There was a tremendous sound of 23 students flipping their pages to find 72.
"Now, who can tell me about WWII?" World War 2 Paige felt her hand shoot right up.
"OK, then...?"
"Oh, Paige Lilan Mrs. Graham." She answered excitedly.
History wasn't as bad as she thought...

"What?" Adrian exclaimed at the end of the school day,
"The History teacher is NICE?" Paige nodded,
"She's not that bad, just be polite." Adrian still looked surprised,
"Well, I better get going before my Mum goes bonkers." He sighed,
"Text me at 5pm!" He shouted out as he hopped into the black BMW X5 and Paige gazed at the car as it drove away.
"Now back to Mia!" She muttered and started walking to the Prep.
The crowd of parents waiting for their children overwhelmed Paige, they all stood at the gate for their little children to come running up to them.
"Mia!" Paige yelled as she saw her little sister skipping up to her with a slight weary expression on her face.
"What's wrong Mia?" Paige ask her as Mis grabs her hand tight and she leads them away from the Prep School.
She looks at her older sister, tears threatening to spill onto her cheeks from her eyes.
"The other kids said I was a weirdo for not having a daddy!" She said and cries into Paige's arms.
"That's not true! We have mummy and we have your teddy Princess and-"
"Mummy is crazy." Mia whispers and Paige almost gasped.
I thought Mia didn't understand what's going on...
"Mummy isn't like Caitlyn's Mummy or Suzie's Mummy who came to pick her up today! Why doesn't our mummy do that?"
The rest of the walk home was in silence. Mia still crying and muttering things about other mums.
Paige let her hand slip from Mia's grasp as she opened the front door.
END OF CHAPTER 1

Chapter 2: Meeting Meraki
"Bye, Mia!" Paige shouts but her little sister didn't reply. Paige frowns but keeps on walking to her school.
As always, the halls are crowded with students chatting daily before descending to their classes.
"Hai!" A familiar voice greets, Paige turns around, surprised by Adrian standing before her with his sky-blue hair.
