Existing Misery
Another day, another pointless day that I have to go to school. School, I used to like the place until the popular group was formed. Everything changed that day for me and for them. You see I'm what you would call an Emo or as they like to call me cutter. The others were just normal kids like me until people started taking in their beauty, once one person wanted them they all wanted them.
"Yugi, you're going to be late for school AGAIN!" my step mother yelled to me from downstairs. You see my mother vanished 12 years ago, just vanished like thin air. After 5 years of grieving my father finally decided to re-marry a lady called Katherine. She was nice when my father was around but when she wasn't, she was a bitch to me. But to make things even worst she has a daughter, Claire who thinks she owns the world.
I tried to go to my father, trying to tell him about Claire and Katherine. Tried to tell him the times they would beat me constantly but he would never listen, always saying how much of a liar I was and how dare I speak of Katherine that way. Only then did I truly believe I was alone, alone to fight the sins of our world by myself.
I walked down the stairs only to get a glare form Katherine.
"You're wearing that and you wonder why you don't have any friends, why would anyone want to be friends with an Emo depressed freak….. I think your mother was right in leaving, you pathetic little bitch… now get out of my sight"
I nodded opening the door before deliberately slamming it as hard as I could. I hated how Katherine talked about my mother, like I was the cause of everything. I was only four sorry if I didn't know what to do at that point in time.
I always tried to be late to school so I didn't bump in with the popular's, they were just like Katherine constantly teasing me of how much of a freak I was. But little did they know I could crush them in a second for I had a secret:
I was a witch
But not just any witch, I was a Salem witch. My family were lucky to survive the trials over 400 years ago, if they didn't I wouldn't be here. Would that really be a bad thing though?
I made it to the front gates of Domino high. The gates were tall and towered over me like a giant glaring down at me. I looked around seeing the grounds empty, deserted and silent, only the breeze crashing into the trees made a noise.
I quietly made my way through the gates, walking steadily to my locker. As usual my locker was covered in notes, none nice.
Freak
Cutter
Loser
Whore
I ripped the notes from my locker; I would be lying if I said they didn't hurt. I could feel tears prick my eyes but refused to fall. I grabbed my stuff before slamming the door wiping my eyes before opening the class door.
The room went silent as soon as I entered, I saw the teacher give a look that could only be described as sympathy. I held my book tighter making my way to my usual desk.
Why doesn't she just die, can't she tell nobody wants her here
God she is such a freak no wonder her mother left her, I would
Yeah imagine seeing that face every day, I'm surprised she didn't commit suicide.
I tried to ignore the nasty comments like every other day, but unfortunately I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, falling flat on my face
"CUTTER!" one of the popular's yelled before receiving high-fives from the rest. I looked up grabbing my fallen stuff before shuffling the rest of the way to my chair. I ignored the laughter that was faced at me with the rest of the nasty comments, what did I do to deserve this, why does everyone hate me so much.
"Well Class today you will all be writing an essay about yourself then presenting it to the class by the end of the lesson" I heard the teacher yell while the rest groaned. "Now get to it!" everyone was in a mad dash scribbling everything down as fast as they could and in no time the lesson was over.
"Mr Wheeler you're up" the teacher called as one of the popular's with blond shaggy hair made his way in front of the class.
"Well I'm Joey Wheeler, I love food. There is never a day that goes by when I don't love food. I have friends and fame, my life couldn't be any better than it is today. I have a sister who is there for me and we look after each other like a hawk, if there was anything I could change about my life there would be nothing. Even though life can be tough I wouldn't give it up for the world." Joey finished giving all the girls smile making them swoon.
"Well Joey that was very short but it said everything about yourself; you may sit down… Miss Muto you're up"
I could feel everyone stares on the back of my neck as I made my way to the front of the class. My palms were starting to sweat while my throat began to close over. I heard someone mumble cutter from the back row.
"When you're ready" the teacher said giving me an encouraging smile, I took a deep breath before I began.
"My name is Yugi, not like you would know
I'm the little freak, which sits in the back row
I'm the little girl you taunt, name and play
You tease me for hours, until the end of the day
My life isn't perfect, I think you should know
My step mother beats me, just for show
She beats me until my hands stained, blood red
You have to look twice; you would think I was dead
When it is winter, windows of ice
My dreams of death, my mind suicide
Beatings are harsh, my body torn
Say goodbye, for tomorrow I'll be gone"
I looked up to see everyone in shock, my own tears glistening in my eyes.
"I should go" I said running but not before my eyes connected with ones of blue ice.
