Chapter 1: hi

haiiiiii.

My name is Savannah Chastity Cook. I'm 15 years old and I live in the town of Normal Valley. Yeah the name is stupid, but the people here are pretty much just that-normal! It gets really boring here, and a lot of the other kids at school think I'm a freak, so I don't have any friends.

I wake up at 8:30 am. "Oh crap!" I yell, realizing that I'm late for school. I rush to get dressed and walk into the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror: long blonde hair in waves that I dye green, hazel eyes with gold flecks, and a skinny body. Seeing my face makes me hate myself, I'm so ugly. To cover up my flaws, I wear tons of white foundation, purple eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and red lipstick. In the end, I look like the Joker, but that clearly doesn't have anything to do with my peers thinking I'm weird.

I walk into the living room with my backpack, tottering on my high heels. My dad takes one look at my all black outfit, puts down his newspaper and coffee, and says, "Go change into something more suitable, young lady."

Did I mention my dad is the mayor of the town? My mom died of cancer when I was little, and I'm an only child. Anyways, my dad is old, fat, and obsessed with keeping everything in the town completely normal, just like the name would imply. I love him, because he is my father after all, but I hate him because he's so authoritative and he doesn't understand me.

I give him the finger and then run out of the house. I have to walk to school, which is two miles away. By the time I get there, it's already lunch, but that's probably because I stopped along the way to help a bug get out of the road. I sit down with my tray and immediately this group of popular girls flounce over to me.

"Hey, loser." The leader, a blonde with freakishly large breast implants, says mockingly. "Are you coming to the halloween party?"

The rest of them cackle like hyenas. "Nobody invited me." I say mournfully.

"Well, it's at my house. You should dress up for it in a scary costume, or the bouncer won't let you in." More laughter. I punch her in the nose and run to class. Someone taped a sign reading "FREAK" to my desk. I run to the bathroom crying and slit my wrists. By then, the day had ended, so I started home. In the distance, I could see the spooky mansion, Someplace Else.

My dad appears out of nowhere. "Never go into that house, Savannah! A freak lives there and scare people for fun."

"Kind of like me." I murmur, a single tear escaping my eye.

"Oh, Savannah." My dad gives me a Kleenex. "If you bothered to change, I'm sure people would like you more. If you acted more normal-"

"I don't want to be normal!" I scream, running into my room and slamming the door.
