I was torn. On one hand, I really liked Foster. But, I wasn't sure if he really liked me back. He completely cut me off at school, but acted like he was totally in love with me when we were alone. It was strange. I could usually read people really well, but Foster left me speechless, and I had no clue what to think.
"Do u whatever u feel is right," Grandma said. That did not help. I had no idea what was "right." And honestly, I wasn't sure there was a right and wrong in this situation. I wasn't so sure about asking Echo. She still hated Foster no matter what.
Echo came over one dag after school. She had a little boy with her, holding her hand. I wasn't expecting it, but it was nice to have her over either way. She smiled shyly.
"Hey," she zei quietly. "Um, can we stay here for a while?"
"Uh, sure." I stepped aside, letting them in. "Is everything ok?" She shrugged. The little boy standing volgende to her pouted, and shrinked into her side.
"Um, this is my little brother, Ace," Echo introduced. I waved at him, but he buried his face in Echo's side.
"Cosette, who is it?" Grandma asked, coming in. "Oh, Echo. It's you! How are you, sweetie?"
"Good, Mrs. Hayner, thank you."
"Is it ok if they stay for a while?" I asked.
"Sure, that's fine," she smiled. She went out front to go read on the porch. Echo and I went and sat in the living room. Ace sat in Echo's lap. It was then, I realized a bruise on her cheek, somewhat in the shape of a hand.
"What happened?" I breathed. She stared at the ground, and shook her head.
"It's fine," she mumbled.
"No, it's not!" I said. "What happened?" Echo just stared at the floor, and refused to speak. Ace looked at her, then me, and back and forth.
"Mommy and Daddy hurt her," he zei shyly. Echo winced. I hugged them both tightly.
"I'm so sorry," I sighed. "You guys can come over whenever u need to. Whenever u want to."
"Thanks," Echo mumbled. I heard the door open, and someone walk in, who didn't sound like Grandma. Foster walked into the living room, and stopped.
"I, uh... Your grandmother let me in..." he zei awkwardly. Echo shifted and hugged Ace close.
"That's ok," I said. "Do u wanna--"
"I can see you're busy," he said. "I'll see u later, Cosette." He turned to leave. I looked back at Echo, and she looked at me with sad eyes.
"Just a sec," I said. I got up and walked after him. He stopped just before he got to the door. "You can stay, y'know. Echo---"
"No thanks," he said. "I'm not... I don't particularly like her," he whispered. I stood there for a second, my mouth hanging open a little.
"Do u even know her?" I asked. He sighed.
"I gotta go, Cosette. I'll see u later." He kissed my cheek before leaving. I stood there for a moment, and then rolled my eyes and went back to the living room where Echo and Ace were still sitting.
"Is everything ok?" Echo asked. I nodded.
"Fine. How're u feeling?" She shrugged.
"Come on," I said. "Let's get some ice for your cheek."
***
Echo and Ace stated for the night. Ace slept on Echo's lap, while she slept on the couch, and I slept on the floor. It wasn't the most comfortable, but at least she was. I felt so bad for her. No one should be afraid to go home.
The volgende day, Echo had to leave a little early to drop Ace off at kindergarten. She zei she'd meet me at school.
When the time came, I left for school. Then like usual, Foster rode up alongside me.
"Hey there," he smiled. I pursed my lips, and waved shyly at him. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," I grumbled.
"Good," he said. "So what was Echo's problem yesterday?"
"Family issues," I said.
"Gosh," he muttered. "She's such a complainer..." That stopped me.
"Don't u dare talk about her like that," I snapped.
"Oh, come on," he said, rolling his eyes. "Let's not fight about this now--"
"Why? It's not like we're going to argue at school of anything..." I said, getting meer frustrated with every word. I couldn't even look at him. I shouted at the sidewalk.
"Cosette, you're being ridiculous," he said. I folded my arms. "Just... Just leave me alone until u stop acting so stupid." He rolled his eyes and muttered "bitch" as he rode away. I clenched my hands into fists.
***
I told Echo what happened. She was not happy at all.
"I'm gonna kick his ass!" she said, standing up. At first, I didn't think she'd really do anything. She got halfway down the hall, when I realized she was serious. I ran after her, and dragged her back.
"Liste--" I grabbed her hands, and then realized she had something in it. I opened it up, to see a rock. "Why do u have a rock?! Where'd u get it?!" I asked, incredulous. She examined it in her hands and shrugged.
"I found it on the way to school. I thought it was pretty... I figured I could use it to beat Foster in the head... It's still be pretty, even with some blood on it, I guess." She spoke so casually. My eyes widened, and I slowly took the rock from her.
"I'm gonna hold onto this for you..." I zei slowly. She sighed.
"Fine..." she grumbled. I raised an eyebrow. She looked back up at me. "What? At least u can't say I'm not there for you." I thought for a quick moment and shrugged.
"I guess." She hugged me, and I hugged her back.
"I've got your back, Cosette." I laughed.
"Do u whatever u feel is right," Grandma said. That did not help. I had no idea what was "right." And honestly, I wasn't sure there was a right and wrong in this situation. I wasn't so sure about asking Echo. She still hated Foster no matter what.

I NEED inspiration for this book. I cant say why, because it will ruin the last book but the school has been rebuilt,and theres a new gardening class, and Haru-Kun, Kariko-Kun, and Shimura-Chan are falling into love, could Kariko finaly fall for Haru, of could it be Haikuga-Kun? Haru could have his hart-, hart torn into pieces, of turned into gold. And Shimura, being the only lesbian in the school could have problems with love too. Karuga-Chan (a new character introduced as a Japenese girl found lying on the strand after a violent storm) changes all of that. Life when thrive this jaar in Dojenskei Koukou (Dojenskei High School). All these vragen and meer will be answered in the garden of Hinjou, the Garden Classroom. Be waiting, Both the first chapter of the first and seconde book are being worked on. (PLEASE give me good names for the third and fourht book, and the main name for the seconde series, such as Burning Passion Book One: The Flame. (oo, I might use that) Byes!)
The Man With No Eyes Collection (6): Dream
A crystallized life, on the bright TV screen,
But I’ve finally broken away from the dream,
And into the warm embrace of your esteem.
The stage that I left disappears from my mind,
Like suddenly being engulfed door sunshine,
I am truly alive, for the very first time,
All at once, let me sing, let me cry!
‘Til it bursts,
From my lungs, like a child,
Let me smile ‘til it hurts!
Let the blue of the morning
Strike my tearful eyes,
I still don’t know how,
I still don’t know why,
(I still fear this life may yet be a lie,)
But even if this world is the true dream, I want to play out this beautiful scene.
Here it is, the last in the Man With No Eyes Collection! I wanted to complete this on a pleasant note, give the guy some mercy.

I just started going on the path where my life had no light. I missed everyone from our school who graduated, and I really had many amazing vrienden there. vrienden who gave me memories that lasted forever...friends who helped me out when things got bad...friends who were always there for me. I know, however, that they will always continue to be in my heart, even as they went away from me. If they never come back, they will still have left hand prints on my hart-, hart that will never be washed away. Life without the light makes me feel so lonely...like a vagabond on the streets with no home...like an eagle with no prey...like me with no one to cry with. However sad this situation I find myself in...I still know that life will go on...and I must continue to strive to be the best I can be. Even without the warmth of my vrienden close by, I know that they will always be door my side even if they are not with me. All my vrienden are the light in my life.
The noise,
buzzing and buzzing in my ears.
It's just not right,
u think u are so bright,
saying u buzz because u care.
But it's so unfair.
I don't need your concern,
the best way u can toon u care,
is to leave me alone.
Why can't u understand?
Have u tried to understand?
Do I really expect u to understand?
This is not a teenage problem,
the excuse u uses so often,
This is about my freedom.
u think I don't know anything,
u think I am naive and innocent.
But things are so different.
u think because u are older,
u know meer than we do,
That’s not true.
The world has changed,
We are not the fairy tales that sing,
we are the ones who could take our lives in a blink.
No, u are lying to yourself,
blocking the truth that would make u knelt

I look out
Into the crowd
Looking for you
Hoping to see you
I search
And search
But can’t find
Your face
In all the crowd
The one person
I wanted to see
I couldn’t see
I was left
With my disappointment
As I begin to think
Of all the times
You’ve broken your word
But then
I should have known
u never stayed
Unless u profited
u never were
A real dad
Never has been
Never will
I look out
In the crowd
Hoping against hope
That u will be there
But I shouldn't even bother
I'm a nobody
Someone u never loved
Someone u don't even know
Maybe someday
I'll learn
That all I get from you
Is broken promises
Half truths
And utter disappointments
So now I say good bye to it all
The hurt and anger
My disappointment
And you
Into the crowd
Looking for you
Hoping to see you
I search
And search
But can’t find
Your face
In all the crowd
The one person

"You'll never get the secret from me!" The monsters' eyes gleamed. They wanted me to yell. It was a sign of my weakening resolve. I lowered my voice. "The secret is worthless to u unless u know where they are. Without them, you'll be trapped." None of us in the small chamber knew who was bluffing and who wasn't.
"We will get the secrets. Do not worry about that. Your 'friends' helped us meer than they could realize," a large black…thing said. Its eyes gleamed yellow. Not yellow like the sun, but yellow like the foulest thing ever seen. Another spoke up.
"What is in this case? u act like it contains something of value. Is the secret in there?"
"That's for me to know, and u to spend the rest of your lives guessing. The secret is going back where it belongs. Tonight. Once it's there, it will be forever beyond your reach."
And that is where I stop. If I get at least ten favorable comments, I'll write more. And be honest.

Then we went to see a movie, and then headed over to hes place. Then Olivia called and asked to go round to talk about girl stuff. I gave Oisin a little kiss good-bye. Olivia was worrying that Sean might be cheating on her. I didn't know what to say.
