(Chapter 1) strange's start
"Hey girly how's it going" I said as I caught up with my best friend in the hall, she shrugged, "same old same old" and kept going as we were suppose to be heading to our next classes; and oh how right she was. I headed to my locker quickly to get my science book; she waited patiently on me as always. Everything happening as it always did, I go to class, then my locker, then class, then choir, then lunch, then class, then art and, then work, and then home to do it all over again the next day. Life is always so boring, always the same , nothing ever changes, I rolled my eyes as just as usual my ex boyfriend past me acting as though I didn't exist, he was predictable too, we use to be such good friends, I don't really know what happened, I don't really care either. I closed my locker and zipped up my jacket as everyone started clearing the hall, the bell would ring in exactly 2 minutes I assumed so we hurried out side to the other building where the next class was located.
Everyday just as the last, the bell rung over head 10 seconds before we made it to the door; damn it, late again, oh well. "So what's your excuses this time" my teacher said to us as we walked in, he didn't even look up at me; see even he knows this place is totally bogus. "No reason" I said as I leisurely made my way to my seat which was located in the back of the room like in all the rest of my classes, school was always so mind-numbing, totally didn't interest me in the least, in fact nothing really ever did, everything was always the same… well except for last night. Just as if she was reading my mind my best friend asked "so what was up with last night? What happen to you? Where did you go? We couldn't find you, and how did you end up in that alley? You were missing for like a whole hour you know" she asked curiously. I was kind of wishing that I had like disappeared off the side of the earth; like abducted by aliens or something but sadly nothing that exciting ever happens to me, things that happen to me that are out of the usual are either bad or uninteresting. I just shrugged my shoulders at her and smirked, better to leave her guessing though; might make me seem more interesting I thought to myself, I crossed my arms and laid my chin down on top of them, staring at my murky reflection of my self that was in the dull pine wood desks surface, I could see the tiny red bruise on the forehead and it made me think back to that night.
In truth, I don't really know what exactly happened last night, just that while the four of us were down town walking around and shopping, I had stopped to tie my shoe and then when I stood up everyone was just gone, all I could think was oh great, we've only been out here for like 10 minutes and I already get lost, wonderful. I looked around, the moon reflected off the dark buildings around me, I could see shadows and figures in the distance and the busy streets of down town all around me, I couldn't really tell exactly where I was though, but knew I was all alone. I wasn't scared, I don't scare easily, but I did have this awkward paranoid feeling, you know that weird feeling like your being watched or something, but I always get that feeling whenever there's a full moon, I don't know why, I mean I think the moon is beautiful and mysterious, but I feel like its always watching me and kind of calling out to me, even when i'm alone in my room; so I just ignored the feeling and started walking again, no really in any particular direction. I looked around and caught sight of what I though was my friends turning a corner in the distance, well at least it sounded like them. I sped up to catch up with them, but when I turned the corner it was just a dark empty alley. "Damn it, I was sure I saw them, oh well", I glanced round the gloomy passageway walking a few steps forward, I could barely see, but could tell it was just a regular old empty alleyway, so I turned back around to leave successfully tripping over my own two feet, "stupid flippin shoe lace came untied again!" I huffed. I was about to bend over and tie my black converse up again till I heard a noise, I looked up immediately very alert and on my feet, the noise sounded like it came from outside the alley so I figured it was my friends "wow they must be close by, they must be looking for me now" I said talking to myself again, it helped me relax and not feel so alone. I looked up at the moon again, it seemed to smile at me, I smile back then looked at my watch, "hmm only 7:05, we still have hours before its time to start heading home, and i've only been lost for about what 10 minutes now, they can wait two seconds for me to tie my shoe", I bent over and then out of no were I hear a growl like two feet from behind me, it was loud and menacing, "oh shi.." I didn't get to finish that sentence, my instincts took over and I had tried to jump up and run but tripped again totally forgetting about my shoelace once again and fell on my face the blow to the head totally knocking me out, all noises faded and now… I was truly alone. When I came too, I was still extremely dizzy from hitting my head, but I instantly remembered that there was possibly still something out there, in the shadows waiting. I tried to get up but I was still too woozy, I couldn't stand, ok now I was scared. I crawled over to the very back corner of the alley and crawled up into a little ball, if something did attack me, there was no way I could defend myself, I looked up at the moon and for some reason and felt comforted, it was so mesmerizing, I felt like it was watching over me, like my parents, I miss them sometimes, but they died so long ago. It was when I was just 10 in that car accident, then it was just me and my older sister, who was just 19 at the time, she had to raise me all by herself and now look at me, i'm 17 , a senior in high school living alone in the house my parents left us, since my sisters off at medical school. Funny that I still cant take care of myself I thought, I no longer wanted to talk, I didn't want to draw attention to myself, and it wouldn't have helped take away my nervousness anyways, this time I knew I was alone.
After a few minutes I could hear rounds of running footsteps coming towards me with my friends voices attached to it. My friends found me in the fetel position kind of out of it at the back of the alley. When I got up I was just kinda confused, I explained I was just tying my shoe, and then when I looked p they were gone so when I went to go look for them I ended p in this alley and then I tripped and fell and hit my head; which was very obvious my the big red bruise on my forehead, so they easily believed me. I am always tripping and my shoes never stay tied. My friend Blu helped me up, when I grabbed her hand though, searing pain shot up my arm, "oww, what the hell!", the pain made me lightheaded and I almost fell over but she caught me, "what's wrong?" she asked anxiously, "I don't know, its just my hand", I looked at my hand as I said this and noticed there was a nice sized gash on the center of my palm, it was still bleeding a little. "I must have got it when I fell" I explained, they just shrugged there shoulders, and put my arms on the shoulders, "what about my bike?" I asked remembering that I had driven myself here on my motorcycle; it was suppose to be a 16th birthday present from my dad, it was in his will, his own Harley Davidson, it was sleek and black, I call it my boyfriend. "Bert can drive it home, don't worry" Big Red said struggling with my weight since I was a little bigger than she is, she stands at only 5'3 while i'm 5'6 , Blu had no problem though since she's 5'7, she carried most of my weight, I was still extremely dizzy. Bert and I are about the same height, she's just a half inch taller than I am, and since she was the only one not helping carry me she grabbed my things for me and they helped me walk to the car, we stopped by the hospital on the way home.
I came out of the thoughts and unfolded my arms from under my head to look at said scar, it was slowly turning a weird bluish purple, crap, must have gotten infected, weird, the scar was like crown shaped. "Whatever animal was in the alley must have felt sorry for me and ran off, or probably laughed to death" I mumbled as refolded my arms back under my head and made an attempt to blow a few strands of hair out of my face, "what did you say" she asked , "oh nothing, just that this class is so pointless", "easy for you to say, you have like an A in every class, you don't even try, so not fair" she argued, I smirked "true, I should have skipped a grade when I had the chance, but then I wouldn't get to suffer here with you babe" I chuckled. "And what about you miss perfect, your grades are better than mine", "only because I do all the homework, we both could have skipped back then, but I mean what about big red, we couldn't have left her or Blu , were all in this together, we always have been, and they will do better eventually, I mean its not like their grades are horrible or anything, theirs nothing wrong with being average, and what are you doing?" she said eyeing me funnily as I kept trying to blow the hair out of my face unsuccessfully. I started to cross my eyes trying to see the hair better and arched my lips up to get a better angle for my next blow, she busted out laughing at me, and everyone that was listening stopped and stared at us. The teacher, who at the time was in mid sentence in explaining a lesson, became irritated and exploded at us. "First you show up late, then you ignore me when i'm trying to explain how to do this assignment, and now you have the audacity to interrupt in my class, well if you know the lesson so well already, why don't you both come up here and show the rest of the class what I just explained" he said in a huff, his old slightly wrinkled face screwing up and becoming puffy red with anger, "ya no thanks" I said ignoring him and laying my head back down on my arms, Bert giggled at me and then we started talking again, "Brook, Erin!, both are heads shot in his direction and we both gave him death glares, he called us by are real names, no one ever calls us by them, we always go by our nicknames Bert and Ernie, that was so annoying! "What ?!" I almost shouted in irritation, "you have a choice, if you cant explain the lesson which you clearly weren't listening to you can both take yourselves to detention!" he said sternly crossing his arms, the room went silent for just a second, everyone turned to me waiting for my response, "and…" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes, Bert nudged me, "hey I kinda don't want to go to detention today" she whispered to me", I huffed "fine, fine" I said getting up rolling my eyes again. I smirked at Bert; she smirked back as we headed to the front of the room.
A few kids snickered once we made it there since I put my leather jacket hood on so it would cover my eyes and the red bruise and then proceeded to sit, well more slouched back in our teacher Mr. Burns chair, while Bert sat on his desk. "ok everybody, Burns been explaining it wrong actually from the beginning" I said boredly not meeting anyone's eyes, some kids laughed well until we started to actually get down to business. Bert and I explained the whole lesson very simply and in actually about half the time it would have taken Mr. Burns too, in fact we still had a whole half hour till the class was over once we finished, he stood their kinda shocked, we just walked back to our desks and ignored everyone in class and started talking again, some kids stared, some had their mouths hanging open in amazement, I even heard Burns whispering to himself, "wow this is the first time I've ever understood that chapter", it was so priceless, even though I don't really know how I heard him whispering from way up here.
When the second the bell rang we busted out the class room both of us laughing are heads off, some people stared at us, but we never really care. We wrapped are arms around each others waists "shall we Bert", "yes we shall Ernie" and we started walking again. Bert and I have always been best friends like two peas in a pod, or well actually it's more like four peas. Bert's just the sweet one; she's girly and very polite little southern accent, and very cute with her long dark brunette hair. She's fair skinned, so she doesn't wear lots of makeup, and she's gorgeous. Her big emerald, jade, olive green, and grey tinted eyes, a model shaped face, a cute little nose and cherry lips, and a thin athletic perfect body which she wears lots of dresses, skirts, and of course skinny jeans on, she's the one everybody depends on. She lives right next door to me with her mom dad and little twin brothers, always has sadly her parents are kinda strict so she doesn't have any piercings though we do all have a secret tattoo on our butts of each others names in the shape of a smiley face, souvenirs from a night we all got drunk; and she is still having to save up to buy her own car so she wont have to drive her moms van around, but Brooke is awesome.
I'm more weird and sarcastic, I unlike Brooke, I am more punk biker I think. I always have my leather jacket on I like dark colors and neon, but I always have on skinny jeans or my biker shorts that have the chains or spikes on the belt, I hate skirts. I love my converse the best but I do have some awesome combat boots. My parents were originally from Australia, we use to go and visit all the time before my grandparents died, so I have an awesome asse accent still, though I use the local lingo. My skinned is nicely naturally tan but I do have a few freckles, my upper lip is slightly bigger than my bottom which don't mind, I think it gives me an exotic look since my lips are a natural dark pink, my nose isn't that big and I have high cheek bones. I have a bar through the top part of my left ear but that's my only piercing. My hair is jet black and I almost always wear it up in a pony tail even though it's just shoulder length and choppy, and my eyes are huge and molten honey brown with my thick lashes, and usually get covered by my bangs. And even though i'm absolutely jealous of Bert' body I think I look pretty good, I have pretty big boobs, a six pack which I got from my training in boxing, thank goodness my arms aren't like huge, no hips though, but I do got a little jump in the trunk, id say. Like I said earlier I live alone, but I always have my friends to keep me company, plus I got a pretty big inheritance. My house is in between Bert's and this guy named Seth who just moved in a year ago. since all are houses are so close and basically made the same, we all have the same rooms in our house that extend a little off the rest of the upstairs of the house, that all have these huge windows on both sides of our rooms so were able to see directly into each others rooms which is kinda bad for me since i'm always forgetting to close my blinds but good because we all get to stare at Seth's body in the morning , his body is amazing, I've talked to the guy a few times, not my type, hes 20 and he acts like he doesn't notice us staring at his body but I know he knows were looking at him, he just likes the attention, and who wouldn't with four hot chicks staring at you every time you start exercising and "accidently leave the blinds open.
Anyways then there are the other two, Drew who everyone calls Big Red for no reason other than her obsession with crimson red lipstick which has now like stained her plump lips, guys cant get enough of her, she's extremely sexy , most her clothes fit tight and look extremely expensive, and it always looks like she's going to some party, and she always has on pumps or boots accept when she wears the sexy Goth outfit and combat boots I bought her for her birthday, plus she always wears lots of jewelry. She's curvy almost like a porn star and has grey eyes that have a weird hint of orange in them, her hair is cropped short and spiky almost exactly like the singer Rihanna, and she usually wears quite a bit of makeup , especially mascara and eyeliner, she has tiny gages in her ears, which is actually really sexy on her. She's mixed and originally from Boston so she has an awesome accent. She's name after her father since she was an only child and her mom died during giving birth, so its just her and her dad anyway she's the flirt and kinda perverted , her house is in between Bert's and Blu's.
And last but not least theirs Violet who we call Blu because she's such a character, sort of like the Blu on foster home for imaginary friends which is one of her favorite shows. She's such a little kid, always making people laugh plus she is extremely creative. She actually makes most of her clothes, and any clothes she doesn't make are mostly vintage; but you can almost always catch her in a vest, a tie or suspenders I don't really know why though, but it looks hot on her. She's old fashioned, accept for her nose piercing , she has long shiny blond curls which make her look like a goddess, pale blue eyes surrounded by eyeliner, and a complexion smooth as silk with high cheek bones a narrow nose. And even though her boobs are bigger than mine, she always covers them up or flattens them down so it doesn't look like it. She speaks with a almost British sounding accent and has the prettiest smile with her lips opposite of mine, her bottom lip is slightly bigger than her top and are pale pink, they still gives off an exotic affect though. Her parents are divorced, her dad and three younger brothers live in England while her and her mom and baby sister live here; she's the oldest and the only other person with means of transportation, she has a line convertible green bug; her dad is rich by the way. Her house is on the end next to Big Red's and on the other side is a house that's up for sale. Were all really outspoken and ,just normal, its not like those dumb cliqs , we don't discriminate at all, anyone's welcome to join us at any time, were pretty much nice to everyone, were not extremely popular but no were near nerdy or uncool. We just all grew up together , so were all like sisters.
We met up with Blu as we headed to choir, Big Red was either in study hall or detention, but she didn't like to sing, sad; atleast we all have art together, but that's the only class were all together in. Bert and I have the most classes together though having a few honor classes. Choir went smoothly, that's a class I can relax but at the same time have lots of fun in, were always goofing around, plus it's the only class that Bert and I compete in choir for solos because were both sopranos, Blu is an alto, but for some reason my voice didn't sound the same, it sounded like crystal,, I was able to sing a lot higher than my usual range' I wasn't upset about it, but everyone seemed surprised. Hmm… today's going a little different then most, but still not really different, I thought as we all met up on the path headed to the lunch room. All of a sudden a stench passed my nose, it made my skin crawl, I covered my face trying not to gag. I looked back and was amazed at what I found to be the owner of so a disgusting odor, the person I despise, no loathe since the day I met her, Valery, I cant stand that bitch , she's been pure evil since the day I met her, ive tried to be nice but weve never gotten along, she's such a preppy little whore, an I mean that literally, she even calls herself one, no one likes her except her one friend, but they are always talking about one another behind each others backs, the teachers don't even like her, seriously my eye literally starts twitching and I get hives when she's around me to long . Her eyes met mine , she stuck her nose up in the air a sneered at me, didn't really bother me, seemed like she was trying to show off her mustache to me, she glared with her dull brown eyes and she then she turned as she flipped her gross brown hair over her shoulder, and another wave of the stench worst than the first hit my face. I immediately took off running for the bathroom, my friends looked confused along with a few other people, and ran after me. "Ernie, what's wrong? Blu said, as they came in the ladies room to the sound of my Barfing, "eww, that's really gross" Big red , "wow way to help" Bert said a she walked over to my body which was now kneeling next to the toilet, she rubbed my back and head my hair, thinking back to how horrible the reek was I ended up throwing up again. "Oh wow, ill go get her some water" Blu said running out the room, "thanks guys" I said wiping my mouth with a paper towel Big Red handed me. "What the heck, don't tell me your like pregnant or something" she said jokingly smirking, I weakly smiled, "Noo im not you Drew", she stuck her tongue out at me when I called her by her real name, "whatever Erin, you know im just like you guys, still little virgins, but seriously are you ok?" "No im fine, I don't know what happened its just that when Valery passed me , her smell was just soo repulsive, didn't you smell it?", there was a pause of silence, then they all busted out laughing "wow Ernie , that's hilarious, she didn't smell any worse than she usually does, but I have to admit its pretty bad on a daily basis, you just hate her the most out of all of us, but I applaud such dedication to such hate" Big Red said applauding for real, "we'll I think that's horrible, and if you ever throw up on purpose like that to be funny again I swear ill kill you" Bert said hugging me, I laughed a little , "I swear, I didn't do it on purpose, hmm… I don't know why but seriously the smell literally burned my nostrils", "sure whatever you say Ernie, could you please stop freaking us out" Bert said helping me up, I just smiles. Blu came back and handed me some water, "are you ok now", "yeah i'm fine, just… PMS I guess". We all headed to lunch and the rest of the day went by just as normally as ever, well until that night anyways.
