"And so class the proper way to sew it is under over then over and under. Now tomorrow we can start working on sewing a patch onto-"
The bell rang. It was welcomed by most of the students in the school, but me? I loathed it. It meant the end of my favorite class. Home Economics. It was the most interesting to me and came naturally as breathing. I sighed as I stood up gathering my books and papers, a smile crossed my face as I looked at the cover of the book. Sonic Universe 7. The return of King Shadow. I sighed as my fingers traced the outlines of Shadow's crown, why'd he have to turn evil? I wondered then shook my head as I finished gathering my things, its just a comic after all. My eyes followed the rest of the students out the door and into the hallway, I didn't want to go out there. There was no doubt that I'd get bullied the second I stepped out of the room, they'd find some reason to pick on me. My hair, my clothes, anything and everything was a reason to belittle me. Just be brave, I mean it isn't like the whole school is out to get you. I told myself then strode across the room and stepped out the door. People harmlessly walked past me and around me, so far so good. I quickly weaved in and out of the traffic, easily making my way through people. I'm almost to the next class! I'll be fine! I thought happily as I saw the Biology class door swing open then the next thing I saw was the ground. I grimaced as I picked myself up and began to gather my scatters things, everything seemed accounted for except-
"Looking for this?" I stared up to see Marissa Stenson, The cheerleading captain, holding up my comic for everyone to see. Okay maybe it wasn't the best idea to bring it to school but I just brought it to keep me occupied during lunch. My mouth was suddenly dry as I stared at her and my book.
"Give it back…please." I said my voice lightly cracking as she smirked down at me shaking her head.
"Aw, she's gonna start crying because I won't give her the dumb Snicker book." She laughed getting everyone's attention.
"Its Sonic. Please just give it back." I asked again as I got to my feet, she pursed her lips then smiled cruelly at me.
"Sure thing…that is, if you can catch it." She said as she tossed it behind her to one of the boys behind her, seeing the game the guy ran down the hall laughing with my comic in tow. My heart began to race as I dropped my school work and chased after the precious book, everyone was laughing and sneering at me. I should have just forgotten the book and get a new one but…I couldn't let it go. The guy ran outside the school and into the pouring rain, I ran out into the rain as he came to a stop and turned to me clutching the book with two fingers as the pouring rain thundered down on us and onto the thin comic.
"No!" I cried out as he smirked then dropped it into one of the school's many potholes which was already filled with rainwater. I stared at it with tears in my eyes as he began to walk past me.
"What a dork." He snickered then suddenly I felt his hand push against my shoulder and towards the soaking pavement. My palms were red and scratched but my heart felt broken. Why did they always have to pick on me? What did I ever do to them? I slowly picked myself up then stuck my hand in the filthy freezing cold water to pull out my book. Dirt covered it and I could feel the pages falling apart in my hand. I held back the sob then ran to my car, I didn't care if I got in trouble for skipping school I wanted to go home. Slamming the car door, I hit the lock button and turned on the car, ready to leave my troubles far behind me.
My parents went on a second honeymoon, leaving me behind with the neighbors to check in on me every so often. I hated coming home to an empty cold house, it made me feel even more alone and more down. My feet carried me to the living room and towards the fireplace, kneeling down I sat in front of it placing the soggy comic beside me as I began to put wood in the chimney then light the fire. It was instantly lit and began warming my chilled body, I reached towards the sofa the pull of a cover and wrap it around me. Once I was safely tucked inside and the fire was blazing I slowly opened the comic. It was ruined. The pages were covered in dirt and small rocks, torn and ripped, the colors were blurred together. I didn't know how attached I had become to the comic till I was sobbing against the couch. I was tired. I was so tired, so tired of the bullying, the demeaning, the hurting. I kept my eyes shut as I pressed my face against the couch. The longer I stayed there, the more sleepy I felt then before I knew it sleep enraptured me in its arms.
What woke me up was the rushing wind and the feeling of weightlessness. I opened my eyes to see that everything was gone, my cover, the sofa, the comic and most importantly…my house. Everything was blurred together as I realized I was falling and getting even more wet by what seemed like rain. Where was I falling? How did I even end up like this? I panicked beginning to flail uselessly as I saw the greenness of what I thought was the ground. I'm going to die! I thought to myself as I jammed my eyes shut awaiting for the painful crash to the solid ground.
"Oomph!" I heard a grunt as I landed on not the hard ground but in soft strong arms but not enough to withstand the force of the drop. Whoever it was that caught me fell back on the ground with me on top of them, I light groaned repeatedly blinking my eyes through the pouring rain that fell on us. I look down to see who had caught me, everything was blurring together so when I first saw him I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Deep crimson eyes stared up at my blue ones. Dark ebony fur, ruby red highlights, tan muzzle, black nose. I opened my mouth to say something when everything moved sideways and faded into darkness…
Yeah, I just can't enough of posting stories. I don't know how far I'm going to go with this since this is a little bit spur of the moment, I don't have a full plot so if you have any ideas then please mention it in your review! Thanks and please keep it clean! ~God Bless!~
