Well, it's just another normal day. Yesterday is now in the past, and I need to keep moving onwards. Each day feels like it's repeating itself though; abuse, bullying, fear, it's just the same. Just once, I would like something different, something exciting, somewhere new to explore.

But, all I have to explore is the little town of Bellville. Bellville is a big, but small town. It's called Bellville for its life supply of bells. Really stupid, right? Every turn you take there's always a bell in sight. But back to me.

Right now I'm in school, up at the front of the class because everyone else is way at the back trying to avoid me. You see, they're only doing it because… well… let's just say, I'm a monster that lives inside of you. And what I mean by that is… that I'm a skeleton.

I'm the only skeleton on earth that doesn't need organs or blood or anything a human needs to survive. I'm just all bones, except for my soul of course. This little thing that's inside of my rib cage, is the thing that is keeping me alive, or so that's what the scientists say. I then hear the many school bells ring throughout the school. It's recess time, and it's also that time where I have to get my little "treatment."

Being the protector of all the A. U's, can be kinda lonely. Sure I have lots of friends but, when I'm not seeing them it gets pretty boring. I normally just lying on the ground and just drawing… nothing! Absolutely nothing! I'm always having artist blocks.

But on the other hand, I had a dream last night. The dream had a figure standing in front of me, waving. I wave back but, it just disappears and in its place was an alarm clock. The dream… it was so weird… but I think it was telling me that I won't be alone anymore. I just have to wait a little longer.

I'm lying on the ground, being kicked from all sides. I had to show no pain, but I couldn't help it. I started crying my multi-coloured tears. I close my eyes, in hope that it would all go away when I opened them. And when I did, I sure did get my wish. There wasn't a thing in sight. It was just all black. It wasn't night, because there was no moon or stars in the sky. It was just complete darkness. No buildings, no cars, no streets, nothing was to be seen.

I look around, when I notice something glowing in the distance. It looked like a figure, standing there with pride. It had a long scarf looking thing, and something else on it's back, I just couldn't tell. I take one step forward to get a closer look, and it was gone just like that.

I look down and there in its place, was an alarm clock? Why would the figure just turn into a clock? Unless… this was just a dream. I close my eyes, and when I open them again everything was back to normal.

But I was still lying on the ground, and I see that my ketchup is all over the ground. The kids must've thought it was blood. Well sucks to be them, if they thought that a skeleton could really bleed. Unless skeletons do, it must be hard to make one bleed though. I slowly get up and brush myself up, and look at my stained school shirt. 'whelp, I'm dead meat' I thought. But, it's just another day in the life of me.
