I don't go to a real school. I am home schooled. I don't really have any friends, but my mother. Father wasn't so nice to me. He was trying to make me marry someone that I do not know. I guess that's where I got my bad mood. I'm also not a normal teenager, in many ways. I must control myself.

One time I got so mad at my father all the windows blew up. A whip punished me. I have no normal family either. I can't see my mother anymore and my father is in Asia. My whole family it seems is like a secret. As if we are some very old family.

We dress in a formal way, I need to always usually, since I am the youngest. We dress in black, my mother had some friends over once, and it was one of the worst times in my life. They looked at me. They said things.

"She looks like a vampire…"

"No, more like a dark princess. She seems dark, our child should not come here, and there is too much dark aura."

I was 12 at that time. When my mother heard the words, 'our child', she got all stiff and tense. I learned later that they were there so my family could get some information. Mother wasn't lucky. They ran when mother offered the food. I didn't like them anyway.

I'm 17 now. I'm tried of learned the right way and that's wrong. So I ran away.

"Lady, what are you doing?" my tutor said.

"I want to go away for a couple days I promise I'll be back...please let me go,"

"But…here is some money you will need it."

4 months later

I am sitting in a chair writing this. I did keep my word, but I ran away again. My slim black dress is a bit worn. I am planning to go to school. A normal school, but I do not know how without being caught. I must first go and find a school.

I have found one, but I will go inside to see if I can trick them. It will be easy I will do an illusion spell so I look like one of the students, I will do this for the rest of the year. I hope I can make friends.

When I went inside they all looked different from me. It was uncanny. They had so much color. At the mansion it was usually dark and we live in the forest. I never went in the city even when I had money and I was hungry. I sat in the back. I looked at everyone. They didn't really notice me because of my spell, but there was one who did.

"Starfire?" I looked up at a very handsome man. "You look…different. Are you okay, your wearing black." I just looked at him. Then there was a clap of hands I jumped. I was think, 'Oh no! My father? What is he doing here?' but I was glad when it wasn't my father.

"You seem to be more like your sister, Star." Said him, and he sat next to me. The spell must have done the students face and body, but I still have my fashion. Good I like my fashion.

The teacher was teaching now. I didn't know what this was. I look at the guy who came over to be, I looked at his backpack. There were the letters: RGW. "RGW?" I asked him. "Robin's the name, Star." "Um…thanks." So Robin, that was his name. "I don't understand this." Robin smiled, "I'll show you at lunch."

At luch he explained everything. Its called Science. I want to go home and tell Selene that…but I can't. I wish I could. Robin took out his bag, that had his luch and was eating when he stopped. "where's your lunch?"

"I don't have one…"

"Why don't we share?"

"Sure! Is it okay? Are you really sure?"

He nodded. I smiled.

"Are you like a friend." I asked.

"I am. Why?"

"Just wanting to know…" I felt so happy. I knew this was someone else but I was so happy, I had someone to have fun with. To play games.

At the end of school I said good-bye to Robin and left. Now I had to find somewhere to sleep. Last time when I ran away I went in a tree and fell asleep. I went bak to the school I thought there might have a bed, like in the nurse room.

I found it but the nurse was still there. She was doing reports. I waited until she left, then I went to the bed, and I went to sleep.

The next day I woke up from a gasped. I looked up at the nurse. "Please don't tell, I needed rest!" she looked down at me. She didn't say anything.

"Do you go to this school?"

"Um…yes."

"I won't tell-"

"Star?"

It was Robin.
