I'm late. Who cares. First day at a new school and already getting into bad habits. I laugh at myself. I eventually find the classroom I should be in. I push the door open.
"Why are you late ms..." The oddly shaped teacher hesitates.
"Mills." I say.
"Mills?" He asks pushing his glasses up his small nose.
"My last name- it's Mills... So "
The teacher laughs "Oh yes the new one. Regina. Uhh..." He gestures to an empty seat in the room " you can sit over here"
I was given "carers" to "take care" of me during my first few days at school but I ditched them and wandered around by myself- the reason I was late and headed into class late. The chair creaks under me when I lean back. The teacher blabs on and on, I don't even know what he's talking about. I take in the class. Some blonde guy with a scar on his chin, blue eyes. The girl next to him is pale -very- she has black hair and brown eyes. There are only a few people that stand out. Another is a girl who also has dark hair and eye but she's wearing a bright red hoodie jumper.
At the end of the class the girl with the pale skin comes over and introduces herself as Mary and invites me to join her and her friends for morning break. I couldn't care less but I go with them anyway. Apparently the blonde guy with the scar is her boyfriend- his name is David but Mary feels the need to call him Charming. Once we sit at a table in the yard I kind of zone out of their conversation. 7 short boys show up and I can't even be bothered trying to remember their names. A blonde girl with bright blue eyes comes over as well- blondie is with the girl in the red hoodie.
"Regina, this is Ella and Ruby," Mary giggles "but we call her Red."
"You'll never guess why." Ruby remarks.
I actually laugh at that comment- I could get used to Ruby.
The group of 11 friends start another conversation and I look around. I see a girl who... Also has blonde hair and blue eyes, she has this weird glass ball- no idea what's up with that- and she's smoking. (Maleficent- when we first meet her in ouat)
I figure we can smoke, and no one seems to be stopping here from doing so, so I pull out cigarette.
I put it between my lips and light it up. Inhaling deeply and close my eyes. I've wanted one since I finished the one before school. I notice the conversation has stopped, I turn and see the 11 other teens staring at me.
"What?" I snap.
Mary is the first to speak "Oh Regina, that's not a healthy choice."
I look at the smoke between my fingers "Smoking?"
"Yeah, it's bad for you. If you smoke long enough you could die." Charming adds.
Rolling my eyes I say "Did you ever think that that may be the point?"
Mary gasps "You can mean that. Why would you want to die?"
"Everyone is happier than me, and everyone takes my happiness away." I respond "and now you are doing it too."
"How?" Red asks.
God these people are idiots "By attempting to prevent me from smoking. What if maybe I like smoking. No one thinks of that when they see smokers."
They all seem to think I should stop and keep giving me words of 'encouragement. I can't take it anymore. While Mary is talking I snap- before storming off with another cigarette
"I will destroy your happiness, if it is the last thing I do."
