"Raven, wake up." Said Mr. K the new art teacher. "I swear if you fall asleep in my class one more time I will flunk you."

"M'kay." I said still half asleep.

"As I was saying," Mr. K started shooting me dirty looks all the while, " we will be starting a new project. It is called a boutique, each of you will need to come up with a design of some sorts and transfer it onto a piece of fabric. After the design is transferred you will use melted wax to trace the outline. Next you will use the dyes that I have provided for you all to dye the fabric. Finally you will use an iron to melt the wax off of the fabric."

"When is it due?" I asked.

"It will be due in one week. Are there any other questions?"

I stopped paying any mind to Mr. K our new resident lecher, oops I mean teacher. I thought the project was pretty cool and I already had an idea. Becky and I had watched the Beauty and the Beast last night (Her idea) and I thought it would be pretty chill to do my design on the enchanted rose. I would have to Goth it up a bit but it still had the same basic concept.

I put my headphone in and started blaring Placebo at an ear bleeding level. I started moving my pencil across the large sheet of paper that Mr. K had giving us while I was asleep. My hand felt like it had a mind of its own. I looked down to see the outline of the enchanted rose already drawn on my paper.

"Fuck this is easy." I mumbled to myself. Since I had the outline done I spent the next half hour or so coloring, shading, and all in all Gothing it up. Just to say so my self It was pretty fucking sweet looking.

There was only about ten minutes left and I thought my rose was done so I went to go show Mr. K.

"Mr. K will this work for the boutique project?" I asked him.

"Raven this is very good, but you have to redo it and make it larger."

"Okay." I said secretly wondering if I told the principle that he grabbed my ass if he would get fired.

The world hates my life hard core right now.

I walked back to my table to sulk for the rest of class. I did nothing but listen to Brian Molko's voice and shiver slightly every time he said fuck.

Finally the lunch bell rang and I went down to the soccer field to look for Becky and her beau Matt. It didn't take me to long to find them eating each other's faces off. Ugh, I loved them both to death but it got old after about the millionth time seeing them like that and being ignored the whole time through. Before I knew it lunch was over and so were the rest of my classes.

Becky gave me a ride home in her truck and we talked about random but normal girl stuff. Not to long after we left school we pulled up to my house. I said bye to Becky and lugged my backpack up my steps. I opened the door and saw Billy and his "friend" in the living room and didn't stay long enough to see what they were doing.

I went up to my room and started preparing to see my Knight of the Night, My Gothic Prince, my Alexander.
