"Mmm, MMMPH! TIMCAMPY! STOP THAT!" I roared at my pet bird, well actually it's my master's but he rarely takes care of him.
I have no idea where master got him; Tim's some sort of fat golden finch.
I was at bed; awaken by Tim when he started gnawing at my toe till blood started pouring out (which he always does every morning). He was perched at my drawer.
I yawned and shivered due to the cold morning air. I threw my legs over and headed towards the bathroom.
Sorry folks, forgot to introduce myself. I'm Allen Walker, yeah I know, weird name for a girl.
I'm 14 years old and a freshman in my high school, even if I just started school like two months ago, I'm pretty much at the freak show table for lunch.
Why? Well I'll tell you WHY.
I was born with white hair, a deformed arm, and I had an accident so there's a scar right down my eye, freaky enough?
Most people thought that I was some kind of gothic or emo kid due to this, even though I wear very simple clothing. (Master has too many debts to buy me actual clothes.) I don't even want to be gothic or emo!
But that's okay! I made some good friends, sort of, one: Jasdero and Debitto are twins, even though they don't look alike much. They're both somewhat goth and emo, I am not quite sure. They are both a year older than me, and wear pretty odd clothes in my case.
How our friendship became real was really… well I can't possibly say it right now. They're too complicated to explain, but I'll tell you one thing, they're stupider than brainless swarming flies.
Two: Rhode! Rhode is in the same grade as I am, plus same classes so that's how we became friends. Well more actually she found my, umm, appearance quite interesting and decided to befriend me.
Rhode lives in the same house as Jasdebi (that's what the twins insisted on calling them) even though they aren't related by blood, but they do have unusual skin color, which I found rather odd.
Rhode even pushed me to meet Jasdebi, and I'll tell you our first meeting was BAD.
Three: and lastly Daisya. He and I were childhood friends, and still are the closest! I met the fellow when I went to soccer camp when I was a little girl.
Daisya loves soccer (me too because of him); it's like his family member or something. He and I are so close together that we didn't even bother making any other friends. We're like siblings or brothers even though I'm a girl.
Unfortunately, two things, me being with him too much caused me to become rather tomboyish so that slowed my girl hormones I suppose (info will make sense… later on). And the second problem was that Daisya was 2 years older than I was so it was hard talking to him in school besides lunch, right now he should be a junior.
Due to his strange taste in clothing, he wasn't so great in making friends before he met me, he still wears that weird hat!
A couple days later when I befriended Daisya, he asked me about my appearance. It was difficult for me to explain to him, but I managed.
When I was born, my parents saw how deformed my arm became, plus the hair, and didn't want me so they sent me to an orphanage. I grew up at the orphanage for 4 years, it was difficult for me to get adopted due to my appearance, but than Mana came along. Mana was my new father; he saw past my features and adopted me. I loved him dearly.
Then while Mana driving us, a car crash happened. Mana died and a scar was made on my face, no clue how the star got there.
So I was sent at the orphanage again, then master came along, he was good friends with Mana, but apparently he was womanizer, alcoholic, and had a problem with debts.
He adopted me because he pitied me and thought that a little flea rat should be 'taken care of'.
Because of master's debts (which he purposely left to me) I learned how to cheat and gamble in order to live. Sad huh?
So master took me to public schools where my life in hell began, Mana always home schooled me, but since master can't waste money on hiring a teacher or too lazy to teach, a public school was decided.
So back to where I was heading to the bathroom.
Master is in one of his business trips, so he'll be long gone. Joy…
As usual I brush my teeth, change, eat breakfast, and then I'm done.
I even do this on weekends! I can't get the habit on sleeping in. AND TODAY'S SATURDAY! So what do I do on my Saturdays?
Well, I fed Timcampy, and since it was such a beautiful day, I decided to go out and finish my novel.
Even though I have such a tomboyish, aloof personality, for some reason I can't stop reading romance!
Of course I keep this a secret from Daisya and the others. I wouldn't want Jasdebi calling me a 'girly girl'. *Shudders*
I can't even tell Rhode! She is basically the only person that I would tell my secrets, well actually I just tell her when my period starts and asks her if I could borrow pads, she is the one who tells me secrets like who her crush is or whatever, but mainly it's about boys. *More shudders*
I wore a white polo shirt and a pair of ripped jeans, and Mana's cap that I usually wore when I go out. That cap hid away my freakish hair.
I took my small black backpack, which contains my wallet (for when I will go grocery shopping later), my Bible (yes, I go to church. And God is amazing), my workers shirt (I go to my job later), and my novel.
Life couldn't get any more peaceful, well except for school, my job is at Starbucks (place is too crowdy), and my guardian fails being a parent, and so on and so on.
I walked down to the park; next to the park was a beach.
The beach is a popular spot so there's like a ton of people there. Daisya insisted that we should go, but I absolutely HATE crowds. Thanks to my appearance, there's a reason why. And trust me, I tried dying my hair for his sake, but it was still white! I at least tried ten products! And don't even think about putting make up on me! I don't care if I freak people with my scar!
At the park, there only a few people there: an old couple watching the ocean scenery, some people jogging, and others walking their dogs.
I nestled myself underneath a huge oak tree that gave out plenty of shade, this was where I usually sat to read my novels. My favorite spot, a place where it shields me from the strong sunrays, and kept snow from the lucky grass that grows underneath the oak.
I turned to the page that I last stopped, I began reading. I read for about an hour, before I could read on something dripped onto my novel. What dripped was a pink liquid.
"Oh, sorry about that," said a friendly voice. I was surprised that the voice came behind me. I turned my head around and saw a guy sitting right next to me. I didn't even sense him being this close to me!
I felt my eyes widening due to that, he was eating strawberry ice cream on a cone. Figures where the pink stuff came from.
I suspect that he came from the beach since his hair was damp, and he smelled like seawater.
Should I even bother describe what this guy looks like?
Well I guess I should. He had messy red hair, which was held by a bandana.
His eye were bright green, the other eye was covered with an eye patch. He looks like he's a few years older than I do. He wore a light shirt that was a little wet, which showed his chiseled chest a bit, and shorts.
"Here, let me clean that up for you," he said, he grabbed the book and licked away the sweet substance. I twitched during the process.
"Here you go! Oh, you got some on your fingers too," he then grabbed my hand; I hadn't realized that the ice cream got on me too. I then snapped out of my thoughts when my fingers made contact with something soft and slimy.
I widened my eyes and swiped my hand away; I aggressively rubbed my hand in the grass.
The red headed freak then started to laugh hysterically.
"Jeez, you know you don't just lick other people's hands like that!" I snapped while continuously rubbing against the grass.
"Heh! Wow, I never met a girl who reacts like that when I do something like this!" he breathed desperately, I raised a brow.
"Cause, you know, usually they would blush or stutter," he explained. I wasn't sure whether I should roll my eyes or sigh. Then I notice that this guy was rather attractive, if Rhode was here she would likely to glomp the dude.
"Especially a girl who reads romance," I felt a stab.
"How, how did you know what genre I was reading?" I asked, once again, eyes widening.
"I was reading next to you, huh, funny how you never realized how close I was,"
"Wait, how long were you there?"
"About 30 minutes," he plopped his chin on his hand.
My eye twitched, I gave out a hasty sigh and gathered my items and stood.
"My name's Lavi by the way,"
I started to walk, and then I felt a hand grab my wrist.
"Aw, don't go! Can't you at least tell me your name?" he whined.
"Go die," I hissed. Prying loose out of his grip, man his hands are strong!
"Hmm, you're a strange one, you didn't even drop dead to my hotness," he grinned.
"You suppose every single girl is supposed to faint just because of your appearance?"
"Mmm, yeah," he said while putting a finger on his lips.
"Stupid," I muttered.
"Hey! Don't be like that!" his hands stills holding my wrist.
"Well basically it's true since you are pretty thick minded," I said in a monotone.
"I get straight A's,"
"Not in- Why do I even bother? Let go!"
"Not till you tell me you name first!" he said in a singing voice.
"Allen Walker, now let go,"
"I don't think that's your real name,"
"*sigh* why, cause 'Allen' is a guy's name?"
"Yeah, now tell me your name!"
I grunted and pulled out my Bible with my free hand.
"You see this?" I asked. I waved the Bible front of his face.
"Yeah, a Bible, so what?" he asked while scratching his head.
Then I thumped the book at his forehead.
"Oww! What was that for?" he whined. The guy let my wrist go, he was caressing his head.
I then started to walk away, this Lavi guy then started to keep up with me. Before I could do anything else, I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry," I mumbled.
"Watch it," said a deep voice.
I looked up and saw some Asian guy. He was just as attractive as Lavi, but probably hotter.
Then I realized the rudeness in his tone, I hate people like that! They remind me of sluts.
"I did say that I was sorry," I muttered as I backed away. The guy grunted.
"Hey Lavi, where were you? You disappeared 30 minutes ago," said the Asian guy.
"Yo Yuu!" said Lavi as he walked beside me.
Now I'm going to tell you folks what this 'Yuu' guy looks like. Like Lavi, he seems a few years older than me. He has long black hair tied in a high ponytail, which seems to be wet and piercing black eyes.
He was wearing a gray shirt, hiding away his chiseled chest, and jeans. His shirt seems to be wet too, looks like someone poured water all over him. Hmm, I wonder who that could be. (Hint, hint, Lavi)
He looked rather crossed at Lavi.
"I told you not to call me that you stupid rabbit," he growled.
"Aw, don't be a poor sport Yuu!" Lavi chimed.
While they were having their little conversation, I left before any one could notice.
"Hey wait!"
I groaned, what could he want now?
"What?" I hissed.
"Come on! Do you expect me to call you Allen when you're a girl?" he teased.
"What makes you think that we'll meet again?"
"I always see you at the park on weekends reading those novels under that oak tree,"
I gave out a long sigh; this guy is hard to loosen up.
"And tell me, how do you know whether or not I'm actually a girl instead of a guy?"
My hair is cut to a boyish cut, and plus I have a really flat chest. Usually people mistook me for a boy.
"…um you have boobs? Unless cross dressing is your hobby…"
W-what? How can he see my…
"Perve," I hissed underneath my breath.
"Ah, so you are a girl!" he smiled, "Well I have to admit your boobs are pretty smallish."
"Lavi, what are you doing with that bean sprout?" asked Yuu before I could make contact with Lavi with my fists. I slowly avert my glare from Lavi to Yuu.
"Bean sprout? I'll have you know that I'm still growing you arrogant bull," I growled.
"Che,"
"Whatever, I'm leaving, and don't even bother following me," I said, "or else," I held my Bible up again.
As I walked away to my job (in Starbucks), I overheard them talk.
"You're into emos?" Yuu asked.
"Nope, just her."
