Life in a Bed of Lies
A pout spread across her pink lips against her pale face. Her face reminded many of an albino which earned her the nickname albino girl. Alex Anne was not widely accepted back in New Jersey. The life she led was a series of lies forcing others not to trust or pity her. A tear fell from the pair of green eyes. Not even "Chapter Four" by Avenged Sevenfold could lighten her spirits.
The lips lazily moved with the words of the song playing from her ipod. Alex headed onto the train worrying about her seating arrangement. As she boarded her first magic train, she looked back at her mom crying. Tears of others had no effect on her, just her own. Alex turned her head as if she just stopped gazing at a dandelion.
Her dyed brown hair was in her face as she frantically searched for her medications. Quickly, she looked up to see the girls' bathroom down two compartments. Her feet dragged her to the small bathroom to search deep inside her bag. In a panic, she dumped it all in the sink. Prozac and Ritalin, her best and only friends were brightly smiling back at her.
The black and white striped bag she was using was stuffed once again with her joys safely in place. Next to the restroom, there was an empty compartment. Perfect. Alex opened the slider to reveal a warming room. She tossed the bag at the opposite end of the area and plopped on one of the couch-like benches. The song had changed to one she was not fond of, and she switched it to "Kill All Your Friends" by My Chemical Romance.
It wasn't on purpose that this was her favorite song. In fact, it was her favorite two weeks after the confrontation. Her actual human being friends had dumped her like a sack of potatoes when they found out she was lying to them. Alex had convinced herself it was an okay thing to do. At the time, she didn't have second thoughts about lying about having sex, getting pregnant, and going out with her cousin, Chaz. Even when she made up an account to "be" Chaz, there was no little voice saying "what the fuck are you doing?".
The other voice, Grace, was far more comforting than some subconscious being. Grace was the only person who loved her for who she was, liar or not. She had convinced Alex there was nothing wrong with lying. In fact, it was perfectly healthy to lie in Grace's opinion. Unfortunately for Alex, Grace can't be seen or heard by other people eventually sending people to think she is talking to herself.
"I wanna listen to some 30 Seconds to Mars." Grace whispered to Alex. Grace was ignored and shoved aside letting Alex room to think. What was this going to be like, magic school? A clean slate has been given to her and she hoped she wouldn't fuck up her treatment. Her head fell into her black polished nails. A squeak came from the other side of the compartment snapping Alex back to "reality".
A boy stared at her with concern. A smile crept along her mouth as she knew she was going to be forced into conversation. The black earbuds of her MP3 were being wrapped around the player when the boy spoke.
"Are you a fourth year?" he questioned. Alex simply nodded "yes"
