Thump. My head hit the wall as a figure stood in front of me with a smirk on his face. I stared at him wondering why he did that, he is not drunk so why. I felt something wet slid down the back of my head and then down y neck where it stops. Putting my hand where the wet feeling is the smeel hit me. Iron. Blood. Seeing the man walk closer to me I began to pin myself against the wall hoping I'll vanish within it. When he got closer the man grabs my hair and lifts me up off the ground. Staring into his dark eyes I can see haterd towards me yet theres care. His smirk is still on his face as he throws me against another wall where my back hits full force. Hearing a crack as my right side hits the ground I know my right ribs are broken. Closing my eyes and holding back the tears that threaten to fall theres a sharp pain in my leg as it goes down. I smelt the smeel of iron again. The evil laugh rang in my ears as i gave into the darkness wishing I'll die right now but sadly I know that will never happen.
Waking up as my alarm clock goes off beside my bed I check the back of my head, ribs, and legs. Finding nothing there or the tracde of blood and broken ribs I got dress for school. Walking down the stairs trying my best not to wake my dad up who is pass out on the couch I walked out the door. Thinking of my dream that I just had has me on edge wondering if I'll get the beating or another way. See since I was little I lived in the USA up until I turn ten, there my parents divorce and I moved with my dad to his home town in Japan; Karakura Town. When I turn twelve my dad started to drink when my mom got remarried, I know he still loves her but not the other way around. A year later my dad started to beat on me I never knew why he did. My friends don't know about the beatings but only one knows about the drinking. My best friend Ichigo Kurosaki, we've been friends since I've lived in this town and Ichigo as been with me through every thing. Ichigo has bright orange hair and brown eyes, his taller than me by ten inches and his family is awesome.
Walking through the school door I got jump by a girl, the reason I could tell is her scream of joy as she hugged me. Looking behind me I saw that it's my other best friend Orihime Inoue, this girl is always in a good mood. Her hair is long and a burnt organe but many people say it's really light brown/red. You can tell when shes around because of her consent happyness, I will ament that I evny her. For she has no reason to be sad and lie to her friends about her life. Ichigo waved at me from his seat as Orihime pulls me along with her, I see Ichigo's two friends are standing there talking. I really don't count the others as friends only Ichigo and Orihime, those two are the only ones I can trust. We walked over to them as I sat in my seat next to him, his weird friend came and hugged me saying that I look cute today. Freesing in my seat my eyes went wide as Ichigo came and punch him away from me. Those two kinda got into it as his friend as why he did that to get the reply that I dind't want him touching me. The man I'm not afried of is Ichigo and thats only because we've been friends since we was ten. His dad really don't bother me much since I came to him to fix my broken ribs last month and I kind of let it slipped a little that my dad beats me. Ichigo's father promise me he wound't tell nobody since I begged him to.
The teacher came in the room so everybody has to take their seats and be quite. The first lesson would be over math on of the subjects I can stand and I'm accutally pretty well in it. Listening to the teacher talk I felt a folded up piece of paper hit the side of my face. When I looked down I saw that it has my name on it, opening the paper somebody wrote one it.
Katie you alright? Keigo didn't scare you did he? -IB I smiled seeing he use the initials for the nickname I gave him.
I'm fine, he didn't scare me. -Kitty Ichigo gave me that nickname when I made cat ears and made a cat tail and wore them all the time when I was thirteen.
Thats good, don't worry about Keigo. His harmless. Sometimes-IB
Sometimes is not a good thing when you say his harmless -Kitty
True, but he is. -IB
Keeping the note as the teacher went to give out the assessment we are now doing. I smiled at Ichigo to let him know that I'm really fine and no need to worry. Working on my assessment I just hope that my dad won't be home after school and his at work. When the math lesson was over we moved to English, already knowing what we're going over I zone out by drawing randonly on my notebook. Drawing a heart with different swirls going out from it I notice that it's inside of an eye. Taking a good look I see a mask with a slanted eye shape and four strips going up the left side, two strips under the left eye and three under the bottom half of the jaw on the left side. I notice that this drawing took all the way up until lunch time. Orhime came and took me from my staring at the mask to tell me to come on. We walked out side and sat under a tree where we are being shaded. I sat nect to Ichigo with Orihime besidce me, when I sat my note book down Ichigo picked it up. I look to see his reaction but he didn't say anything but had a look of per shock.
"Whats wrong Ichigo?" I as as he just stared at my drawling.
"N-nothing, have you seen this mask before?" Ichigo look at me.
"Never, I didn't even knew I drew it. Do you like it?" He nodded his head as he handed my notebook back to me.
We sat in silince after that, Orihime saw my drawling saying that she liked it and the heart in the eye. Smiling at her I colored in the strips on the mask then started to draw hair around it similers to Ichigos. Adding the shadowing near the eyes as if the sun is hitting it I colored in some parts of the hair adding as if the sun hits it also. Lunch went by really fast so everybody went to class, this subject- science. Learning about reproduction with animals adntheir cells I acctually paid attention.
When the final bell rings Ichigo walked me home, the walk to my house is quite. Every now and then I'll catch him watching me as we get closer to my home. Standing on my door step I waved good bye to Ichigo as he walked down the street, taking a deep breath I walked into a quite house. Closing the door I let out a sigh going to turn on the light in the hall way. Dads at work so thats a good thing. Going into the kitchen I sat my bag on the table then got a juice box out of the fridge; I sat down at the table and started on my English home work and my history.
