"I'm just an outcast." I whispered to myself as I walked down the dark alleyway.
That day it was raining, and it was dark. I didn't care about anything, I was lost and confused. I trudged against the alleyways wall, as my clothes were soaked. What was I even doing? I stopped and slid down against the wall and sat down and I watched the rain fall. Making dripping sounds, as it hit a puddle in front of me. I sighed.
"Heh...Great, rain." I said as I dropped my head to my hands. As than I felt something cover me. I jumped up to look up at a guy standing there.
"You'll catch a cold." He said as he leaned against the alleyways wall.
He was tall, and skinny. He had his hair flipped up. He was wearing ripped skinny jeans with chains hanging from his belt, with a black veil brides T-shirt. He had a guitar case leaning up against the wall next to him.
"Are you in a band?" I asked as I covered myself with his jacket that he covered me with. He looked kind of lonely.
"Yeah..." He said very silently, he closed his eyes but than glanced at me.
"Wh...what?" I sputtered out.
"What are you even doing here? Girls like you shouldn't wonder about by yourself." He said as he put his hands in his pockets.
What was I even doing here. I was just running away from my fears.
"I don't know, really..." I said as I propped my head on my knees and looked at the puddle in front of me. "Its all a mess." I whispered under my breath.
"Well.." He slid down against the wall and sat down next to me. "We're all a little messed up at times." Than he glanced over at me and smiled. It was a smile I will never forget.
My alarm clock rang as I heard my parents fighting down stairs. I sighed and covered my ears. I threw my school uniform on and grabbed my bag and took a piece of toast, than I went out the door. My family is messed up.
I waited at the bus stop and I nibbled my bread, and I thought about that guy who was in the alley way. Who was he anyways? Than the bus showed up and I climbed the stairs into the bus. It was crowded so I stood in the middle holding the bus handles. I had my piece of bread in my mouth, until someone bumped me and it fell to the floor. Great, there goes my breakfast. The bus stopped and I walked the rest of the way to school.
Before I go on, I should tell you who I am. My name is Penelope, Penelope Rose. My name means duck, sadly. But I'm sixteen years old and in sophomore year of high-school. I'm not popular, I have few friends. We are gamers, and nerds, well that's what people classify us as. I'm a little different than my friends though, cause I dress all girly. So many people don't think I'm a hardcore gamer, but I'm into Xbox 360 games and PC. Anyways, I have blond hair that goes past my shoulders, I also have side swept bangs. I always straighten my hair, except on the weekend, but who cares right? Well now you know a little about me.
I walked to my locker to meet my friends there. They had their Nintendo 3DS out playing Pokemon. I put my locker code into my lock, and my locker opened. I threw my back pack into my locker and grabbed my books, and fixed my hair in my locker mirror.
"Hey, Penelope!" Ceilia said as she raced to me from down the hall. Celia was my popular best friend. We've been friends since birth. She was always full of excitement, and was really smart. Plus, she was beautiful, I was jealous.
"Hey, Ceilia." I said with a smile as I closed my locker door. She stopped at my feet and took a second to grab a hold of her breath.
"There's a new student." She said happy. I stood there and looked at her, than I finally said.
"And...?"
"He's drop dead handsome, even though he looks like one of those indie band people." She blurted out. I wasn't that excited, but it's Cecilia we're talking about. She is in to indie bands, well I mean I am too, but still.
"Come on!" She said as she pulled my hand before I could say anything. But we ended around the corner from my hallway, and stopped at the high-school office windows, where every girl was, screaming. So I moved some girls and looked over a girls shoulder. Than I saw him.
"I told you! Isn't he cute!" Ceilia said as she squealed. I looked at him, I couldn't tell, I just saw his back.
"Yeah...sure..." I said confused, I couldn't even see his face, until he turned around.
He had his hair flipped up and wore ripped jeans and a black veil brides shirt. He had black hair with light blue/green colored eyes. I felt like I seen him before. Than it hit me, is he from the alleyway? The bell rang and all the girls scattered and I got dragged with all the other girls. I ended up back to my locker, so I stood there for a while. Than I walked to my class room before I was late. Who is he?
