Alice in Nightmare-Land
By Kirbario Darklord
Chapter 1
A new beginning
It was a warm sunny day; Alice had started her first day and last year of High School. Alice was very unusual, though she was pretty. She had long blonde hair that shone whenever she walked into the sunlight. Blue eyes that sparkled like stars glimmering within the blackness of the night sky, her body was petite yet she wasn't good at sports. Her lips were a distinctive pink-peach color and curled sweetly when she smiled, whenever she did that is. Her curved beautiful dimples showed as she laughed and smiled with pride and joy. However, Alice is now in a great depression ever since her mother died from cancer. She often questions herself at night when she is in her room not able to sleep "Why did she have to die? She was never a terrible woman. I-I miss her. I-I want her. I-I need her." Whenever Alice thinks of her mother she sees a pure bright shining figure with the most beautiful and most amazing features that anyone could ever only imagine. She missed her, but did not show it around her father. Alice's father, Peter was his name. He had the cruelest dark eyes, an awful terrible frown whenever he yelled. It scared the ever living out of her. He had a long thin nose and a skinny body structure. Her father was never physically violent but he blamed her for everything while her sister gained all of the attention. Alice was indeed in a great depression. As she makes her way to the first class room the kids laugh and tease her. Calling her names such as wet head, crybaby, and some of the most nasty curse words. They throw things at her such as apples and water bottles; they treat her like a homeless wannabe on the side of the street with no home or love. And she felt exactly that way. She needed a friend. Just one friend who could understand her. She was alone. As she walks into the classroom it is a bit dirty with dusty desks from the chalkboard. The desks were lined up really neat though despite how dusty it was in the room. The windows are open on the left side of the room. A girl with brown hair throws an eraser at her and calls her a waste of a person. Alice didn't take too kindly to that insult and shouted at her and everyone in the room in rage and sadness. "I've had enough of your teasing and mocking! I wish I could just disappear forever! And never come back to this stupid place! I hope you all die! I hate you all!" And that's all she could say until her best friend Ryan Miller came up to her took her hand and lead her to her seat. Ryan was Alice's only friend. He was tall and slender with brown hair and blue eyes that made Alice's heart thump wildly whenever he looked at her. He was friendly and that's all that mattered to her. Ryan struggled to get Alice to her seat because she was furious and continued to scream and shout curse words at them. Ryan sat her down on the chair and looked at her and said calmly. "Alice, you have to learn to just ignore them. You are better than them and if you ignore them they won't have anything to tease you about" Alice shook in sadness about ready to collapse into tears and responded nervously "I just wish I could have a better life than this Ryan." He looked down a bit and said softly almost a whisper "It is what it is Alice, and no one can control it except you. You have to try." Alice nodded at him sadly with a red tear stained face. The bell rings, its time for the worst part of the day for Alice. Gym class. Alice walks into the gym. The entrance is a short hallway with big blue painted glass doors leading to the gym room with bleachers on both sides of the gym. Alice just sits down and waits for the class to start without even changing into her gym clothes. She knows the kids will make fun of her for being so sensitive and shy about changing her clothes with them and she knows exactly what they will say. "Alice you're so disgusting! Alice you're a toad! Alice you're a disgrace to this school! Alice you should've never been born at all!" She was suffering and couldn't help but cry whenever those words came into her head.
Then some jock boys came up to Alice, started pushing her around saying inappropriate and very questionable things about her. She was embarrassed and uncomfortable. "Hey Alice!" Said one boy. "Are you going to show yourself off to us?" Alice pushes the boy away from her a bit gently. "If I were smart unlike you, I would stop what your doing this minute." She ordered. "Alice! Tell us how you became so beautiful yet such a low life!" Another boy said. Alice starts to get rather mad about all this fuss and says firmly. "Like I said! If I were smart! I would stop it now!" Then the boys surround her and start to touch her. Alice screams at them in rage and embarrassment. "Stop it right now! All of you! You sick twisted pigs!" She pushes them away but they keep coming back for more. Over on the other side of the gym, Ryan comes out of the locker room and sees Alice being harassed. Alice shouts at him for help "Ryan! Get these filthy animals away from me!" He runs over and they stop him as one of them throws Alice onto the floor. "Have you come to help your little girlfriend?" One of the bullies asked. "First off she is not my girlfriend we are just friends!" The moment Alice hears those words her heart sinks. "Ryan." She starts to speak as she gets up. "Yeah Alice?" He responds a bit unsure about what she wants she walks over pushes the bullies out of the way and looks at him with tears in her eyes. "How could you say that? Remember what you said last summer?" Her voice starts to tremble as she speaks. One bully interrupts her "Aw, what's the matter Alice? Going to cry because you're so ugly and Ryan doesn't want you?" Alice turns to him and shouts. "I swear Gary if you don't shut your freaking yap! I am going to push you through those glass doors!" Gary backs up in surprise at Alice's rage. Alice looks back at Ryan. She is crying now more than ever before. "I'm just." She pauses for a moment and continues with a great big sigh "Going home." With those last words said she heads out the blue glass doors of the gym and Ryan stands there alone. The truth is, Alice doesn't want to go home. Her father will be waiting to yell at her for something stupid and pointless. She walks the long way home with her head down and cries.
