In the Shadows of Despair…
Can this be really me? I thought to my self while looking through the mirror seeing the image of me. Wearing nothing but black. Well I'm not wearing all black; my hair is a dark purple like color with black streaks on the sides of my head and in the back. I'm known as the freak from where I come from. The dark seeker for death. Cuts on my arms that are hidden for a purpose. Black eyeliner black mascara, no eye shadow. Sighing bending down picking up my black bag with safety pins along the edges walking out of my room into the living room. "Kirstin." My aunt says, "You should come and eat some breakfast before you leave." Turning my head I look over at her. "I'm not hungry and I'm not on a diet." The chime on the clock rings and I walk out the door slamming it.
Halfway down the block I take out my Discman placing my headphones over my ears listing to Story of the year song number two "Until the day I die". While walking you can see the school halfway down a few blocks. Sighing pulling my headphones off putting my Discman back in my bag looking back at the school. "Ohh what fun another school to go to!" I sarcastically say out loud to my self. You see people around my age outside just hanging out before the day starts. They look so, so happy and preppy!
Picking up my pace some seeing people here and there stare at me like as if I really care what they think. Then all of a sudden this cute boy with black hair that's a bit curly with these wonder color eyes looks right at me. I look back at him. Shaking my head as I start walking up the stairs through the school doors.
Outside the school doors
"Hey Jimmy did you see her?" Jimmy looks around. "Dude I don't see her, your probraly just seeing things." Craig puts his hand on his forehead in disbelief. He then grabs his things walking inside the school doors seeing where she went. There she was against a locker she was assigned to just sitting on the floor with no expression on her face. Smiling some he walks over to her.
Kirstin's point of view now.
Hearing footsteps coming towards me. Normally it would be someone going somewhere beyond of what I know of. But then the footsteps stop right next to me. Looking up it's the boy I see but face to face. He then sits next to me looking at me. I look back at him. "Um hi." I say to him like I would to anyone. "Hi I'm Craig Manning." He says bringing his hand out to mine. "I'm Kirstin Brink." I say replying to him. "Cool. Hey want to be just friends?" he asks me. Feeling shocked I just nod. "Alright then, hey let me introduce you to the group." Huh? What group is he talking about? I kept on wondering about. Standing up grabbing my bag walking with him to some corner in the school. Every one of his friends just stares at me like I'm crazy. "Yo Craig who's the freak here?" One of his friends says who's African American.
Just as I thought, someone in this school thinks I'm already a freak here. "Well I would like you all to meet Kirstin." Craig says as everyone of his friend's just look at him like he's crazy. "Ok so what I wear all black and my hair is different then anyone else's here." I say standing where I am. Next thing I knew was the bell for one of my classes.
Walking inside everyone just stares at me. Sighing I see Craig in the distance. Smiling some I take a seat next to him. "Oh hey Kirstin. Sorry about earlier." "It's alright. I'm use to it. Its no big problem." Seeing is face in shock like he's actually surprised. "Where did you use to live?" he asks me seeing him wanting to know me. "Well." I say, "I use to live in the states like in California. Went to school there and well." My voice trails off into silence. He gets a concerned face. "What happened?" Looking down then looking back up at him. "To make this long story short, my mother died when I was born. My dad gets drunk and one night he died from drinking too much this year. So I was transferred here to live with my aunt." Next thing I knew is that he gives me a light hug then sits back down. Class bell rings then the day starts at Degrassi Community School.
