Extraordinary

Chapter 1

It's the greatest burden I can think of wanting to be extraordinary but being mind-numbingly sickeningly painfully ordinary

I lived my life based off this quote. I never could understand why, I didn't even want to change myself to make it not true. But I lived my life wanting to blend in. I would walk the halls of my school and wonder why I could never be like everyone else I saw walking around. I had to hide in order to blend in, because if I didn't things would not end up well. Everyone had a sense of self, you could tell who they were just by looking at them. But to the rest of the world I did not. I was plain Jane, even though I was far from it.

You see I've always had to hide who I am. Not because I want to but because my father says I have to. It is a matter of life and death, or so he say it is. I am nothing but ordinary. But no one will ever know that, they will always think I am pathetic, a loner, a waste of space. If they only knew it was anything but. All I wanted to be was everyone else. I wanted to fit in, but yet stand out. I wanted to be popular and have friends and have people remember something about me.

Take for instance Lissa. Popular, cheerleader, beautiful, basically a model and she dressed like one too. Her perfect long blonde hair and piercing green eyes showing everyone she was in charge. Her parents millions insuring she would never have to worry or do anything herself. By her side the high school jock Aaron, whom everyone knew she was just using. The kid never talked and when he did I swear it sounded like a monkey screaming, stupid to say the least. But they had their own little group and their very own followers. Mia who basically kissed the floor they walked on, Jill who would follow them around wordless, and Camille who just loved to point out everyone's "flaws".

Then there was Christian. He didn't even have a group. He roamed the halls alone wearing all black just screaming don't fuck with me. He is one of the few that would make any kinda of contact with me, even though it was banter and yelling most of the time. He tired to make a name for himself, he tried to fit in. But everyone saw who he was. His parents were dead, both murdered in a drug deal gone bad. Actually I'll get to that later that's another mess in it self.

Jesse the stuck up skater boy. He used his looks and stake board to get girls, though I was sure he didn't even know how to ride one. He tried to hit on me constantly, even though I was unpopular I had my looks but thats all these guys wanted to use me for. He was followed by his loyal dog Ralph who was even more ridiculous than his friend. Ralph was a nasty looking boy, who creeped everyone the fuck out, but Jesse and him somehow made a perfect pair, maybe it was because in the end they were both disgusting.

And then there was me. Rose. Rosemarie Hathaway, well at least that was my alias. Like I said I wanted to blend in, well I had to blend in. I could have used my fathers last name but the attention that would get me scared me. I stuck to the sidelines staying out of the way. No one really noticed me and I liked it that way. For the most part that is, deep inside I wish I was more, but I could never voice this, never do anything about it.

I had two loyal friends Eddie and mason. But they too were like me and never gave up too much information about themselves. When we talked it would be about things that meant nothing. From what I was able to find out about them, their families did business with my father. I think my father might have had them be my friends to keep me safe in a sense. It was annoying I couldn't even make my own friends he gave them to me.

We all attend this prestigious academy called St Valdamirs. It's suppose to prep us for the future and mold us into the leaders of the next generation. Honestly it was like a messed up reality show with a bunch of rich losers. Most would amount to nothing and live off mom and dads money until they would inherit their companies or just the money. That what my father told me I was going to do, he said with age I would take his place, and there was nothing I could do about it. My mother and him had never had any other kids so I was stuck in this life whether I liked it or not.

I didn't plan on doing such a thing. No I Rose was going to do something better. And I couldn't do it while being here. While trying to hide from my fathers name. So I Rose did the only thing I could think of, I ran away. I had to, I knew I was better than this life. I knew something out there was for me and taking over for my father was not it. I was born to be something better, to make a change in this world, and it did not involve my father's "business".

It wasn't as easy as it sounds, to run away. My fathers place had guards, or as he liked to call them guardians, stationed everywhere. They followed me around, everywhere. They dropped me off at school, and I knew they wouldn't leave. No they would watch me from the shadows until the end of the day when it was time to leave and go home. They stood at every door, every window, every corner.

To say my dad was paranoid was an understatement. But I suppose when you were in his line of work protection was key. And he didn't just hire anyone to protect him and his family.

No these guardians were lethal and extremely loyal. Most of them were from Russia, although I don't know why that was. Maybe Russians were scarier, I always thought it was cause they were freaken crazy. They may have been crazy but I will not lie a lot of them were amazing to look at. All tall dark and handsome. Though they did not do much talking. They treated me well and tried to be social but it was not part of their job description. They were meant to be lethal and scare away any problems. Which meant I spent a lot of time alone at home. They were everywhere, always alert, and never messed anything up/

So my escape had to be planned to perfection. I spent days mapping out this plan. Learning the guardians shifts and figuring out where each camera on the property was pointed to. Figuring out the perfect time and the perfect day. There was no room for mistakes this had to be perfect, and if I messed up it would cause me serious problems. If I was caught I would never get a free moment, I would be watched no-stop. I could not mess this up my future counted on it.

Wednesday came around and I was ready this was it, I was going to get out of this world and become the extraordinary individual I knew I could be. No more planned out lessons. No more times set up to eat and sleep. And best of all no more guardians. Everything would be so much better I just had to make it out without being caught. No problem at all, right?

I started my daring escape at exactly 45 minutes after I got home from school, knowing that at this time the guardians let down there guard slightly. Night time was when they roamed the most. I made it down the hall, down the steps and out the front door in record time. And somehow no one noticed. This was going better than planned. I made it to the edge of the property and swung my bag over my shoulder and climbed the fence. Which was not an easy task it took me about 10 minutes and I fell and hurt myself more than I thought I would.

My father never let me do anything that required any type of labor so this daring escape had me panting and gasping for air. The first thing I needed to do when I got out was start running, I definitely need to not be this weakling ever again. I couldn't even run away fast enough cause I was so tired. I knew this was a mistake I should have trained or something cause my lung already hurt like a mother fucker.

I found myself on the main road and thought what better time than to run, I had to start sometime. So I ran like hell. I ran until I couldn't breath. I ran until I nearly collapsed. I somehow made it to the train station and knew I hadn't made it yet. I needed to be on a train and gone and soon. I knew my fathers guardians were good and they would soon find out I was gone. I could not risk that time was not on my side.

I walked up to the counter to buy a ticket and was promptly denied. Apparently a 17 year old cannot buy a cross country ticket without mom or dads consent. Damn. This could not be happening not now this was going to mess everything up. I turned around and stared at the ground. What the hell was I going to do now? I couldn't rent a car. And walking or running would not get me anywhere fast enough. I had planned everything so well, and messed this one step up. I should have looked it up better. You have got to be kidding me!

"You look lost Rose". His voiced made me jump, and I thought I had been caught. Instead I turned around and stared at icy blue eyes and slicked black hair. Damn it!

"I'm fine. Go away." I said trying to shove by him. He was slowing me down. I totally did not have time for this.

"I can get you that ticket, I'm 18." He said with a smirk as he grabbed my wrist. I tried to pull away but like I said before I wasn't good at anything that required any type of labor. Once again I did not have time for this. I needed a plan and fast.

"Ok smartass so what? Are you actually going to get me the ticket or are you just harassing me like the creep you are?" He just stared at me and for the first time I saw something in his eyes. They weren't ice they showed some type of determination I never thought I could see come from him. It made me stop, it made me actually look at him and wanted to know what he was thinking.

"Look Rose I see what you're doing. You're trying to run away. And I can see why, hell I want to too. But do you really think you can do it on your own?" He looked even deeper to my eyes and was trying so hard to compel me to do what he wanted. But I was not certain what it was. Our past was rough, it was a sour subject, but yet we were so similar.

Christian and I had a past together, nothing romantic, and most of it was just insults thrown back and forth. But there was something deeper. Something I tried to forget I had ever learned but it was hard to not think about it while staring into those damn sad hollow eyes. Damn. I owed him. God damn it. Why did he have to do this? I guess I could use him.

"Fine you can buy me a ticket." I reached into the bag I had which only contained money. I could buy things as I went. I had more money in that bag then I would probably need in a lifetime but I had to make sure I would be all set wherever I would end up.

Christian only shook his head, confusing me. Why would he be saying no?

"No, no, no Rose. That is not what I meant. I'll get you a ticket if you get me one too. You'll need me out there. I'm coming with you." He said this while holding into my wrist even harder. He was trying to get his message across.

Hell no. This was not part of the plan. No way in hell, I couldn't stand him. I felt bad for him, but that only went so far. It was the pleading look in his eyes that finally made me give in. I had to make up for what my dad had done. I owed it to Christian to try and make things better for him. Even though I knew that this could go wrong. But looking further into his eyes I knew this was the right thing to do.

When his parents died, my father had taken over money wise the situation for him. He paid for school for him, his clothes, food and a place to live. But never made any contact with him. He left him to do everything else on his own, including raising himself. Most would think it's wasn't a bad deal. But his parents weren't bad people they didn't deserve what Abe, my dad did to them. No one deserved that.

Abe wasn't really a bad person. He caused bad things to happen but he did have a heart. He cared about his family it's why he kept us safe. But he also cared so much that he would harm anyone who got in his way and could hurt us. That's what had happened to Christians parents.

They really were good people but as my father put it they got greedy. And when they got greedy they tried to bring Abe down, and that was the wrong move. He set them up just like they had planned to do so to him. Except where they had failed my father had succeeded. They had tried to get the others to catch my father in a "bad deal", but my father never made those. When my father found out he turned it on them. In the end it was him or them. And my father always put himself and his family first, he would never let anything happen to us. So he did what he thought was his only choice in the end it was getting Christians parent to take the fall.

Thirty minutes later we were on our way. I stared out the window and said a silent good bye to LA. Even though I wanted to leave I would miss it, hell I was going to miss my family too, but I couldn't stay. I had to make something of myself. I was going to be the person I knew I was deep inside. I did not have to worry about my dad, or his reputation, I could be me. I had to be extraordinary.
