Kuroza blew her raven hair out of her eyes and sighed. This was the third time in 4 months she'd been grounded, and the sixth time in 4 months she'd been suspended for her less-than-ladylike behavior at school. She smirked at the thought of it.
"Hey, these are my powers, and I'll use 'em how I want, "she said to herself, repeating her words from the previous school hearing. Then the defiant look slowly slid off her face, and was replaced by a defeated expression as she thought, Man…I thought having ghost powers was gonna be the coolest when I was 13… But now I'm just like everybody else…and where's the independence in that?
She didn't mind the anti-social outcast label she had been given at her high school; she actually took it as a term of endearment. It, in her own words, "proved they knew I existed". She always had a thing for wanting to be the odd one out…and it was just luck that her physical features made her stand out; while everyone else sported dark brown hair and blue eyes, she was born with her black hair and startlingly neon green eyes. Though, when she thought about it, she wasn't the only one with unusual looks; her friend and neighbor Shadow had the same colored hair, but blood red eyes. But unlike Kuroza, he had become unwillingly popular for it.
Kuroza rolled her eyes. "And that makes absolutely no sense. I guess that's just how oblivious and dim-witted these people are."
Then, just as she was about to go downstairs, she heard a loud crash from outside. She stood still for a minute, trying to decide whether or not to ignore the sound and go get something to eat, or to leave the house and check it out. [And if you are wondering, people, NO she is NOT fat. She's skinny but likes to eat a lot. What's so wrong with that? I mean what kind of world do we live in where an anonymously skinny person can eat a lot without being called fat? Good metabolism, guys!..]
"Curse my indecisive nature," Kuroza said under her breath, and after a few seconds, opened the window and flew outside into space to investigate the noise.
