I yawned and sat up in bed,looking out the window of my mother's apartment. The sun now high in the sky of New York city. Tourists,locals,and others scrambled around,shopping or doing other business. I sighed and slung my legs over the bed,getting up to finish my year at another school. I put on my dark red skull shirt and my black skater skirt to match. My mom bustled around in the kitchen,making eggs and extra bacon. My mom always made the best breakfasts. She was currently working at a diner and always came home in bacon grease,pancake syrup,and smelled like coffee. She was tired in the mornings because she always worked the night shift. But she said it was interesting to do work at night. Espically at a diner. During the day,people are just living,doing as their brain says. But in the night,things are exciting. Teens,adults,kids,they're living life to the fullest. "Plus" she would always conclude. "The pay is better."
"Mornin!" My mom said,smiling at me as she put my breakfast on the table. "Morning." I said,sitting down to get to my breakfast. "Wouldn't you know it." My mom said,leaning on the edge of the sink,smiling at me. "You're finishing the year with no incidents,no problems,no bad report cards. " I grinned. I hadn't usually had very good luck when it came to school. I always got kicked ot for some reason,even if it wasn't my fault. "Yup. Anything you're forgetting?" I asked,taking a bite of my bacon." My mom snapped her fingers. "No beating up kindergardners!" I rolled my eyes as my mom laughed. "Happy birthday Fae." I smiled as my mom smoothed my jet black hair. I smiled at her and finished breakfast. "Bye mom!" I called,snatching up my skull studded backpack. "bye!" She called.
I ran down the streets of New York until I reached my school "Broxy Middle" I don't even know where that name comes from to be honest. I entered and started to clear out my locker. "Well well well." a voice sneered behind me. "If it isin't goth girl.'' I rolled my eyes and ignored Britney. The most irritating girl in my school. She flipped her blonde hair off her shoulder,smirking. "I sure hope you're going to some ''special'' high school this year for freaks like you." She continued. "Britney." I said,turning to her in anger. "If I flush,will you go away?" Britney scoffed. "Just stay out of my way Fae? Got it?!" I rolled my eyes with as much emphasis as possible. "Ya sure. I don't want to get in the way of the rhino when she's mad.'' Britney narrowed her sea green eyes and stalked off. I smirked and threw my things from my locker into my backpack. Glari,my best friend hobbled up to me on her crutches. She was pretty much my only friend here. She had long,wispy brown hair that fell down her shoulders,and striking brown eyes that always made me feel guilty when she gave me the look when I didn't take her to Burger King to get one of their salads. She always told me that if she could: She would marry a salad. They were her favorite food. I smiled at her. "Hey." I said,she gave me a bashful smile. "Hey. Ready for the good bye speech today?" she asked. I shrugged and picked a stray bottle of perfume from my locker I didn't even know I owned. "Yeah..hey smell this." I said,holding it under her nose. "Like Vanilla." She remarked. I nodded and looked at the label on the bottom. "Vanilla Death." I announced,chuckling. "Thats why everyone thinks you're goth." Glari commented. I nodded,tossing into my overflowing backpack. "Lets go buddy!" I said,slamming my locker shut for the last time.
I got comfrotable in a fold out chair to listen to a good-bye speech from our principal. "Students." He said,quieting down the gym full of kids. "You have all been a real treat." He began. Yeah right. I thought,smirking to myself. I felt a piece of paper hit my back as he continued talking. I turned to see Britney,tossing paper at my back with her friends,giggling like it was the best joke they'd heard all day. I turned,"Ignore them" Glari advised. They continued to throw pieces of paper at me,the wads they threw getting larger and larger. I finally felt something broiling hot,like an iron hit my back. "What the?!" I shouted,turning,expecting to see Britney cackling with her friends. But where they had been sitting,instead there was something much worse. Some crazy animal with the head of a man eating lion,a goat coming from it's side,bleating it's head off,and a serpent erupting from the back side. "G-Glari..." I said,tugging the sleeve of her hoodie. She turned,gasping,her eyes filled with pure terror.
