Boo!"
My heart leaped. I turned around. "Godammit Carrie!"
"I'm sorry," she said, blushing.
"It's okay but you gave me a fucking heart attack."
Carrie Kelly. The kid who is about four feet shorter than she should be and does nothing but play Club Penguin. She is also quite fond of me. I don't like it. "Whats with all that makeup and the heels? You going out.. or something?''
"It's my birthday." She looked at her shoes. "Look, shouldn't you be with your friends playing Dragon Ball Z or something?"
"Um no actually, I have to study for the state testing today," she said. Shoot. That's today. We said an awkward goodbye and parted ways. I took off my heels and wiped off the eye shadow. She actually made a point. No one ever remembers my birthday. Hell, no one remembers me anyway. Out of all my fake friends, the people who laugh at my jokes, and the people who do me favors. I don't have any real friends. You know like the ones you can call up at 3 in the morning. So what was I dressing up for? As much as I don't give a shit, I'm honestly really depressed. I'm not sure it's worth it, if you know what I mean.
The day went by. Not one balloon for me. At lunch I like to escape school and hang at the mall or something. Maybe today I'll walk to the record store down the street. I passed by stores. Joggers. Joker cultists. Batman... followers?
I made it to the record store, which is unusually empty. Huh. I walked back to school just in time for the state test. I need that score. I waited in line, got my dirty look from the principal, and sat down with my test.
After two hours of lame, we finally got a break. A girl named Rachel asked me if I got number seven and I told her the teacher gave everyone a test booklet. She laughed at my joke but then turned around to her friends and failed to acknowledge me otherwise. So I kind of just sat there until we resumed the test.
Instead, there was a light knocking at the door. Then the sound of a teacher's heels clicking against the ground toward the source. The door swung open.
"We're tes-" Only she was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. I was only paying attention to the word problem on page 24.
A/N: Hope you like! Sorry if the chapter is a lot of scrolling, it looks shorter on my laptop :/ I'm really open to suggestions as to where I should go with this so comment away! I'm planning on adding a lot of characters from the comics. Yeah Jokers coming in the next chapter yay
