Hey guys, this is my first FanFiction so please don't be brutal. If you have any requests or suggestions about my writing please feel free to tell me. This chapter is more of an introduction to the story; it doesn't have that much drama going on yet.
"Are you okay?" A question I truly hated because I was never okay. My life's always been miserable. Starting from the day 1, when I was born, to my current 18 year old self.
"I am fine." I mumbled as my eyes rested on the geometry equations that lay in front of me. I kept tapping my pencil against the wooden coffee table, hoping somehow my anger would dissolve with each tap.
Xavier put a hand on top of mine making me drop the pencil.
"I'm sorry Kory, but I just don't belong in school." I tried to hide my anger, sadness, and how I felt so betrayed.
School was never joyful for me, Kory Anders. I was so unique that friends rarely ever came into my life, let alone leave. From orange tanned skin to an odd accent; I stick out in Jump City High. If the weather was below freezing, I'd most likely go out in a miniskirt and a cropped tank top. Of course most kids, such as Kitten, took this as an opportunity to make fun of me until tears came streaming down my face.
Xavier starred at the clock that hung on the wall and slowly rose from the small, untidy couch.
"Kory, I'll see you later," Xavier said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I tried my best to give a small smile, but it wasn't that easy. I had just lost my only friend in JCH (Jump City High).
"Bye." I said unsteadily as he left, leaving me to my thoughts.
Last Thursday was a normal day, or at least I thought, until Xavier didn't come to school. I wasn't so alarmed since it was only one day. But his one day absence turned into a week. Today was the day I found out I was no longer going to have someone to sit with at lunch, a lab partner, or a friend in school.
My best friend became a high school dropout making life for me in Jump City High a living hell. I was an open target for Kitten and her friends. They could pick on me all they wanted and I'd have no one by my side telling me, "It's going to be okay."
What bothered me the most was Xavier didn't tell me what was going on. I always thought friends could count on each other…guess I was wrong.
I took the hair-tie from my wrist and wrapped it around my cherry red hair, another one of my unique characteristics. My hair was naturally cherry red along with my emerald eyes, but everyone refused to accept the facts. I was the only one in the grade that had natural red hair with green eyes.
I looked to the clock which pointed to 12:30 a.m. I decided to just finish my homework while my elderly teacher was taking role. I slowly made my way to the short hallway which led to my room along with my sisters, Koma.
I starred at her room for a moment. This was the only true time were I wished she would give me sisterly advice.
Koma wasn't exactly the best sibling anyone can ask for, but she at least knew how to bring food to the table. I also had a job, cleaning up after people and doing errands in Wayne Enterprises whose new owner is now a teenager. If it wasn't bad enough doing errands for people who didn't appreciate it; I was now working for a teenager only one year older than me.
After mom and dad's death, Koma was never the same. She wasn't that decent girl that wouldn't yell all the time. Instead she turned into a bitter, selfish, and an envious girl. I guess I changed too, I used to be more naïve and cheerful. But all of that's in the past.
Suddenly, Koma's door slammed open making me jump in fright. "What are you doing still up?" Koma said as she yawned, her eyes slightly narrowing.
"I am sorry, I was nearly thinking." I said softly.
"Kory, get your head out of this dream world and go to sleep." Koma snapped as she slammed the door shut. This comment wasn't as cruel as her usual comments were.
I sighed as I walked to my bedroom. My eyes rested on the circular pink bed; I gave a small yawn and crawled under the large pink, wool blanket. Pink was my mom's favorite color; my room was full of pink.
Everything except for my Mumbo, the Magnificent alarm clock. I remembered the first time I had seen Mumbo at the circus, last year. That was the day when he failed to do his magnificent finale; instead he ended up nearly killing the demonstration girl in his frustration. He was instantly sent to jail by the Teen Titans.
The Teen Titans were the heroes of Jump City. There's Cyborg, a half man, half robot. Raven, a half demean, half mortal. Beast boy, the green skinned, changeling. And finally, Robin, the team leader. Many girls are in love with him in my school, but I on the other hand am not in the fan club.
I do like him, but loving is too much. He's a superhero, what makes these girls think that he's going to have enough time to love.
I finally fell asleep at 2:00.
The annoying beeping sound of the alarm clock filled the room. If that wasn't bad enough, I could hear my sister repeatedly screaming my name.
I felt around the table, my eyes still shut, until I finally hit the 'snooze' button. I didn't move from my position under the blanket until my sister came to my door and I could hear her tapping her foot impatiently.
"Kory, get up." My sister said annoyed. I didn't respond, but instead pulled the cover off of me.
"Sister, I am feeling unwell." I said, trying to make my voice sound as weak as I could.
"No! I can't clean up after your messes today! I dropped out of college just to bring home food for you. I don't want to come home and see the house on fire." Koma said not buying my excuse.
Obviously, she was still mad about the fact that she couldn't finish getting her education.
"Anyways, you promised mom before she died that you would always go to school. You don't have a good excuse."
"But…" I tried to make up another excuse.
Koma narrowed her eyes.
"Okay, I shall go." I finally said as I got up and walked to my closet.
I picked out a purple tank top along with a white mini skirt. I looked to the mirror and sighed. Everyday Kitten made fun of my outfit no matter how hard I tried to change my image.
I walked to the front door before Koma brought me back inside.
"Kory, it's raining outside! Go wear something else." She snapped as she went back to the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes as I changed my outfit into a pair of jeans with a sweater. In my opinion, it was too hot for clothing this heavy.
I finally passed Koma's approval and began walking to my large school, Jump City.
I sort of ended early because I thought I would just make this chapter the introduction. Next chapter will be based on her life in high school.
