Chapter one: it begins

Hey-o everybody! I actually got the idea during Intro To Writing (pfft!) It's still in progress and will be done soon, but I do enjoy making you guys wait!

It falls under the genres of:

Horror, suspense, drama, angst, spiritual, humor, slight tragedy, supernatural, crime (sorta) and slight romance (Englandcest TT^TT) enjoy my labors please!

Pills. For as long as I remember, I recall pills. I don't quite remember when they had stop coming, but I remember taking them so happily in the mornings as Bradon told me to do. Being the youngest of five was a major difficulty for me because I thought I had to be just like them. The stress of that was rather frustrating and painful.

I suppose I should tell you about my life, yeah? Well, I was an unpopular child growing up, even in primary school I was disliked. I was too wild and stubborn for the others to manage being near me. I was often left out of games and no one dared to really get near me. I don't recall blaming them actually. I was the freaky girl who always talked to Flying Mint Bunnies, unicorns and pixies, but I could SEE them! They were my only friends. My forte growing up was reading and writing; I think that was the only thing that kept people interested at all, I could weave stories of dragons and pirates fending off large dangerous creatures. Sadly, it led to deterioration of my vision which led to more mockery.

World Academy Elementary was a hellhole designed for my misery I used to think, though my sisters and brother went there before me and told me about the magical times they'd had. I wasn't good at math, science was any good for me either. I couldn't make anything worth bringing home in art classes like Felìcita, and gym class? I wasn't too good at that either. Though Emily was fabulous at, we never really spoke during these years.

In third grade, I set out on a quest to make friends. The Italian sisters called me scary and cried, and the German girl just walked away from me without a word. I remember giving up and crying under a large old oak tree when someone approached me. "Go away." I had said; the other person shifted as if considering it, but stayed where they were. "Alice-chan…?" A girl asked politely; I looked up to see a pair of shy/worried chocolate brown eyes. "Sakura? Why are you here?" I sniffed; Sakura sat next to me on the acorns and dead leaves. "Are you all right?" Her 'l's sounded like 'r's, but I understood what she was trying to say. "Why do you care?" I snapped. "Because I think you're a good person and I… that is– what I mean is…" She suddenly went into a deep bow. "Would you please be my friend Alice-chan?" Sakura begged; I was so happy at that.

Sakura was a girl everyone wanted to know because she was shouted in mystery, she was quite and shy, so the fact she wanted to be friends with me suddenly made everyone want to do the same. Dozens upon dozens of kids wanted to know all about me; the Italians were still afraid if me and a French girl named Françoise and I were prone for the occasional fisticuff, but did that matter to me? No! I had friends!

Leoda's sister, Gerlinde, became my friend for a while, and an Austrian girl did too. But Gerlinde and Rodericka were always fighting when they saw each other l, so I decided to keep my distance when the two got started. It was none of my business after all.

A year later, my popularity reached its peak when Emily and a group of others became my friends. Like a boy from Seychelles (for some reason named Chelle), a girl from Hong Kong named Joanna, a girl from Australia and New Zealand. Then there was Emily's sister Madeline, she really needed to speak up because she was a bit too quiet and perhaps too shy. She always carried a stuffed polar bear called "Ms. Kumajiro" though she never seemed to get the name right. I also was prone to confuse her for Emily, but she didn't mind and told me it happened a lot.

I was so happy! There wasn't a person who didn't respect me for all of my friends! Even I respected myself at points!

That is… before the pills stopped coming…

Sup. Well, I hope you've enjoyed it so far! Trust me, it gets kinda depressing until a bit later, then it picks up in other genres!
