I watched Edward Scissorhands for the second time last night, and fell in love with it all over again. So, I decided to write a fanfic. It might be awful, it might be great. Who knows? But I'm bored, so here we go!
It all started with a simple dare. And it ended up changing my life in more ways than I thought possible. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

"I bet you'd be too scared to, like, even walk in there, Lilly," said the class bitch, Susan aka Suzie, as she pointed out the window to the dark castle on the outskirts of our neighborhood.
"Oh, yeah? I could last the entire night. Susan," I said, trying to own her up.
"It's Suzie," she replied n her nasally voice, flipping her perfect auburn hair and narrowing her green eyes.
"And the last time I checked, I was going by Lil," I said coolly, tossing my long brown hair in imitation of her and glaring at her through eyeliner-surrounded brown eyes.
"I'll bet, like, twenty dollars."
"On my name being Lil? Sure."
"No, silly." She acted like I was a clueless kindergartner. "On, like, spending the night in the castle."
"Make it fifty and it's a deal."
"Fine." She started to walk off, but then turned back around. "Oh, and you do realize you'll be doing this on, like, Halloween. When all the, like, spooky things are out and stuff." She giggled—"Ta-ta!"—and walked away.
"I hate that girl," I muttered to my best friend, Kim, who was pretending to be absorbed in her homework, but was probably listening to every word. "I really hate her."
"You could've said no," Kim said.
"That would only give her reason to torment me forever. Ugh, the little bitch. My parents are going to killme."
"Tell them you're spending the night at my house."
"You'd cover for me?"
"Duh."
"Kim, you're the best!" I hugged her.
"I know, but let's not get mushy. Now get back to work; study hall's almost over."
I glanced at the clock and saw that we did—indeed—have only five minutes left. I sighed and tried to work on my stupid calculus homework. I was in an advanced calculus class, math being one of my best subjects, and now I was beginning to regret it. Countless sleepless nights were spent doing math homework. Either that or technology. I was quite an engineer—always building and designing things—although you wouldn't guess it by looking at me-so the tech class built on my strengths. If only it weren't so hard…
The bell rang, jarring me out of my thoughts. I scooped my books into my arms and hurried to my next class.
Please review! I'd like to know what people think so far.
