~~~~~~~~ Don't Let Me Get Me
*************************************
Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never Clean
*************************************
Mai groaned as she sat on a small wooden bench, she really hated gym class she always had the boys watching her every movement just to see how much her rather well formed chest would move. She also hated the so-called 'team spirit' she was force-fed by the girl's coach, could she help it if she didn't know how to play tennis? Or even want to?
She snorted when one girl came over to her and started to gush on and on about how being part of the team would help her in later life. Mai didn't need anyone and she certainly didn't need this stuck up bitch telling her what's good for her.
"Take your advice and shove it prep" Mai hissed.
"That's not very nice!" The girl said with a look of total horror.
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a very nice person now go the hell away before I pop your fake boobs with my nails!" Mai said pointed to the girl's chest area, which was stuffed with padding other then breast.
The fake blonde girl gasped and ran off to the coach; Mai smirked to herself as the woman in her mid 40's came over with a frown.
"Mai what have I told you about your insults? Get out of here now and come back when you've cooled off" She snapped.
"Sure whatever" Mai shrugged and left the gym.
The girl walked out and down the halls of the high school she hated more then anything, to them she was just a pair of boobs with attitude and they looked her over like she was a piece of meat. Mai wasn't like all the other girls, she may have looked like someone you'd pay at the red light district but she wasn't.
She had a wild and rebellious sprit that often-scared people away from her when they wanted to be her friend, not that she cared. She could only count on herself any way and that's the way she liked it. She ran down the halls trying to control her temper.
Her life was one big mess, nothing was ever easy for her and counting on no one but herself often took a toll on her soul. The emptiness and longing always nagged at her being making her want to end it. Sure she had thought of killing herself many times but she also dreamed of greater things.
She ran out the door and sighed panting from all the running she had been doing, she smelt smoke and looked up to see a boy two years older then her. Bandit Keith leaned against the wall wearing his normal jeans, leather jacket, shirt and bandanna and smoking a cigarette.
Keith looked the girl up and down then smirked.
"Shorts that are way too short and a white shirt that becomes see through when it rains.. You just ran out of gym right Mai?"
"I got kicked out it" Mai grumbled and leaned beside him.
"What about you?" She asked the other blonde.
"Tried to set fire to some kid in science who wouldn't give me his lunch money" Keith chuckled.
"That sounds just like you" She smiled.
Keith was the only person she could even consider calling a friend, in fact he was her only friend and they were quite close. They both knew what it was like to be the odd one out and to be feared by what the human race would call 'normal'
"And may I ask WHY you got kicked out? Tried to hang someone with a jump rope again?" Keith snickered a little and then laughed when Mai punched him playfully on the arm.
"No! I only did that cus I was PMSing" Mai protested.
"Mai, babe, when AREN'T you PMSing?"
Mai shot him a small glare and then laughed along with him, he was the only one that could make her laugh and feel like she was human and not just a pretty object that needed saving and protecting. They had known each other before they came to the high school and they both had to deal with similar things. Mai sighed a little and rested her head on the boy's shoulder.
"Ever just you know, just wanna run away?" her voice was drawn out as she stared blankly.
"Only all the time"
Keith dropped the cigarette and stubbed it out with his booted foot and wrapped an arm around Mai's shoulders in a comforting manner raising an eyebrow when she sighed again. He wasn't the type to tell people that he cared but he did, he cared about Mai she was going through a lot at home and he always worried about his only friend.
"Just don't do anything stupid ok babe?"
"Suicides beneath me, you know that and I know that." she trailed off glancing up at her friend.
"I know but desperate people do desperate things"
"I'll be ok I mean I HAVE to be"
Both remained quite and let the wind blow their hair and drag a small heard of dried leaves along the cracked concrete. Neither knew what to say and in truth neither wanted to break the peaceful silence, it wasn't one that was filled with tension but rather one that was filled with a mutual understanding for the other and the situation.
"Bells gunna ring soon you should get changed" Keith broke the silence and shook Mai from her thoughts gently.
"Yeah and I need to make a fast get away so the coach doesn't rant and scream at me about my bitch like tendencies" She grunted and pushed herself up off of the wall and turned to face Keith.
"When will they learn that your naturally a bitch?" he smirked.
"Watch it Keith, I have good aim and your just in the right place to get a kick you in the balls" Mai grinned and put her hand on her hip.
"Right got yas" He shook his head and waved her off.
"See yas later Keithy" The girl laughed at the small sweatdrop the older teen showed as she winked and bounced back into the school.
*************************************
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin' Right
**************************************
Mai went back into the changing rooms and just as she thought no one was there and her clothes were still in the messy heap she had left them. She changed from the gym uniform back into a short purple skirt, white top and a light purple sleeveless jacket. She pulled on her arm warmers and slipped on her sneakers when she heard the door open and close.
"Hello Mai" came a male's voice.
"What the hell do you want?" the blonde snapped and stood up glaring at the gym teacher who just walked in with a more then smug look on his face.
"Is that anyway to talk to your ex?" he snickered.
"Listen I only dated you to get better grades to keep my parents off of my back you sick little man" Her violet eyes narrowed dangerously and flared with anger as the man simply walked closer to her.
"Maybe, but you do know that your grades in gym are slipping again, right?" He raised an eyebrow and sat down on a near by bench and stared at the girl.
There it was one of those glances she was so used to; a glance she hated with everything in her. She was a human being not a toy or something to stare at. She wished she could have gone over and slapped the perverted look off of the mans face but she had to think calmly which was never her strong point since her temper was as hot as she was.
"So? What do I care?" She hissed and made her way to walk out of the room.
That was until the man stepped in front of her with a smirk on his face, the girl twitched a little not sure what he was doing. The teacher backed Mai into a wall and pinned her against it leaning forward and pressing his weight on her body keeping her from moving away. Mai cried out when the perverted man started to run his hands up her leg.
"I could always make sure you get the best grades if you do a little something for me" He cooed in her ear.
"Look I'm not interested!" She tried to push the man off but he was too strong.
"I'm not sure you have a choice.." the adult sneered and carried on moving his hands around making Mai squirm in disgust.
"You better lay off of me!" She warned.
"Pff who says so?"
"Me!" She cried out again in rage.
"You and WHAT army?" He laughed.
"THIS army."
Both Mai and the man spun around when they heard an enraged males voice, Mai felt her heart flood with relief as she saw Keith standing there glaring over his shades at the man giving her time to get the last word in. With a smug little smirk Mai kneed the man in the balls and watched with satisfaction as the man crumbled to the floor in agony.
"Nice move" Keith congratulated as Mai stepped over the man stepping on his hand as she went.
"Why thank you"
The two walked out of the school glad it was the weekend and they didn't have to deal with the principle for that move since no doubt the slimy pervert would lie his way out of the tight jam he'd be faced with. The girl looked at Keith then down at her feet as they walked; she would like to have thought she wouldn't have needed his help. It wounded her pride to know she had become a target but it also made her realise that she could count on the other blonde more then she would have liked to.
"What made you come back?" she asked.
"I just.. Had a bad feeling that was all and then when I heard you yelling" He explained with a shrug and left it at that.
"I could have handled it on my own" she scoffed.
"I know but I needed my power trip" he grinned and the girl whacked him with her book bag.
"Pff ok but, thanks anyway" Mai allowed herself to show a grateful smile.
"No problems"
The two friends left each others company and headed to their own homes, Keith hadn't let on he was worried about his friend after all he knew she had a rough time at home. Mai hummed to herself as she unlocked the front door with her house key and slipped off her shoes she grumbled a little when long gold hair spilled over her shoulders and got in the way of her sight.
Walking into the kitchen and grabbing a glass the girl failed to notice her father sitting at the table with a clearly pissed look. Mai turned around with glass in hand and gasped in shock at suddenly seeing her father, the glass slipped from her hand and smashed on the floor sending shards across the floor and one sharp slice nicked her leg leaving a small pink line in its wake. She hissed out a little in a wince and looked down at the mess.
"You STUPID girl! Can you do NOTHING right?" The man yelled and slammed his fist on the counter.
"I'm sorry! I didn't see you there and it startled me" she bit her painted lip and tried to avoid the angry glare the man was giving off.
"You had better fucking clean this up before your mother gets home!"
Mai sighed and nodded getting out a dustpan and brush to scope up the glass and fought against the tears that were welling up in her hurt eyes. It wasn't her mother at all it was just the whore his father had married after her mother walked out on them both due to her father's abusive ways. She would have gone with her mother too if she hadn't been killed two weeks later in a car crash.
Her stepmother was a dumb and spiteful woman who treated her as bad as her dad did, everyday was like hell on earth. Her room was the only safe haven; she had her books and duel monster cards and also her music. They didn't know how she got her stuff or how she got the money but as long as she did as she was told they didn't care.
"No wonder your mother ran out! Knowing what a worthless child you'd turn into!" The man yet again began to berate her.
"You're a cheap little slut Mai a whore!" he snarled in distaste and left the room leaving his child to cry softly to herself.
Once the glass was in the trashcan she got herself a glass of coke and made herself a sandwich before going into her room where she cried more. She lay on her bed and looked at the glass of coke absently watching the bubbles move around and then just simply pop when they got to the top. She wasn't sure how long she could last any more, everything was getting worse and worse and it was taking its toll on her.
She knew what she had to do and she had the money for it, she was going to leave her so called 'loving parents' and school and just leave it all behind. She didn't care if this was a selfish move she wanted out and this was the only way. Mai frowned and glanced at the clock noting the time had gone real fast while staring into space and ripping ones own life apart in their mind.
Made up eyes fluttered shut and finally all the troubles and woes disappeared as a calming sleep took over the young girl allowing her to escape even if it was for a brief moment in time. Her chest moved with her gentle breathing as her mind became numb and dreams took wing. Dreams that tried to open new doors for her and dreams of a certain someone and her feelings for him..
