Chapter One- Preview

My Introduction

Astra-Rose Alkmene POV

Great. Rain. First thing I need on a Monday morning. I brushed a fine comb through my long black hair then pushed it back into a slick ponytail, revealing my recently cut fringe. Okay, so I wasn't the creative sort. Kill me. I rubbed the sleep out of my deep blue eyes, and then I glumly stumbled to the direction of the kitchen. My foster mother smiled widely at my presence. Why was she smiling? I hate happy people.

"Good morning sunshine." Kate stated, I yawned. Hell, I hate morning. This was only the first week I lived with Kate, and I already wanted to kill her. I hated the way she acted like she always cared when it was so very obvious she didn't. No one ever has. Why lie? I knew as well as her this was most likely the last month I will be staying here, before she would transfer me to another foster home. I released an hmpffft like sound then removed my eyes from her gaze. "Why are you so cheery this morning?" I asked completely uninterested in her reply. "Why are you not?" She said. I knew I was beginning to tick her off, but that didn't stop me. "It's none of your business!" I raised my voice.

"Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

"I'm trying to help you! Why are you shoving it back in my face?" She sounded pissed, but her face was sincere.

I didn't need nobody's help. I didn't want nobody's help.

I huffed, brushing her shoulder and I passed.

I didn't wait for her response, but sprinted into my room, slamming the door shut behind me.

I wanted to disappear off the face of the planet.

How did I just get a whole argument out of "Good morning sunshine?" I was clueless. This has been happening a lot lately. I dressed into some skinny jeans and a deep midnight blue tank top, which coincidently matched the colour of the two blue highlights in my hair perfectly. I thought I would wear my hair down today, so I released my hair tie, allowing my hair to roam wild and untamed. I glanced at my watch. It read 8:30am; I might actually make it on time at school today!

I gazed up at the gigantic building towering me. Inhaling deeply, I took a dozen baby steps towards my new hell. The school was 3 stories high, and around 9 generous classrooms wide, accessed by over 1,000 students, ranging from the ages of 5-18. To me, this was disappearing off the face of the planet. I released a breath I forgot I was holding and continued into an unknown territory. You see, this was my first day of school. Well, more like my 17th first day throughout 2 years, and still in counting. Because of the constant move I didn't bother getting to know people anymore. I guess I just learnt to not get too attached to the places I'm at, because I know I won't be there longer than two months. You just get used to it after a while.

I only started the foster thing two years back, when my adopted parents died in a car accident. They took care of me since as long as I can remember, for 13 long years. I still haven't gotten over it. They were the closest thing I had. Now they are... gone.

Flash Back

"I HATE YOU! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed through my cries. I glared blankly out of the cars side window.

"I HATE YOU PEOPLE! YOU HAVE LIED TO ME ALL MY LIFE! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE... like THIS TO ME? WHY NOW!"

"Astra! Let us explain. We were going to tell you but we weren't sure how you would take it. Please understand. NOTHING HAS CHANGED!" My 'mother' 'explained'.

Nothing has changed! What the F*** WAS SHE THINKING!

"EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!" I wept.

Even the thought of someone faking to be my parents sickened me.

"Stop the car." I almost whispered.

"I SAID STOP THE CAR!"I then detached the seat-belt from my waist, and opened the door of the moving vehicle.

"What do you think you're doing? Astra! Please don't do that, you're going to get yourself killed!" My farther shouted at me.

The car came to a sudden halt. I rolled out because of the force. It just happened so quickly, then that's when I heard it... CRRRASH!

The mini red Toyota collided with a nearby tree.

What have I done? I thought. My painful cries echoed throughout the city.

I have killed my parents.

End Of Flash Back

A single tear cascaded down the paleness of my cheek, followed by many others. I wiped them away nervously with the palm of my hands, self-conscience of what people would think of me.

Hastily, I balanced my bag over my left shoulder and disappeared in the chaos of screaming children. The school was large, and although I hate to admit it, rather intimidating.

I continued into the school and to my class.

Where ever it was.
