3...2...1...ACTION!

I'm caught up in your expectations

Nathanael

As I left school, I dreaded what I would go home to. I would probably open the door to my mom shouting at my twin sister, who was never allowed to go to school as someone had to watch the twins, or somebody bleeding to death on the floor. I mean, it's happened before.

I should probably tell you about my sisters, or my family. I didn't consider my mom as part of it, you'll find out why later. First, my twin sister. Yes, twin sister. Her name was Hayley and she looked like a female version of me. I mean, we even wore similar clothes! Second, the twins. They were conjoined at their forearms, making it so they had three arms. Their names were Claire and Ellie and they were the sweetest people ever. I loved them all, but everyone at school had no idea they even existed.

I siged, seeing that I was now standing in front of my house. It was around 5:30 ish, as I had gotten detention for drawing in class. Again. I took a deep breath, then opened the door to an explosion of shouting.

"Where do you think you were mister?" my moter shouted in my face, her face flushed with anger. She would have been beautiful if it were not for all of the shouting she did to me and my sister. I had to think of an excuse, and fast. Nope, I've got nothing.

"Detention?" I replied, naively hoping what was bound to happen wouldn't. Nope, my luck was still horrible.

"DETENTION!" my mom shouted, then grabbed my arm and dragged me through the living room littered with toys, the hallway covered in carpet, and the dining room with the broken table, to the kitchen. I glanced over at the sink, and saw it was full of dishes Hayley and I would have to do later.

"You'll never get detention again mister. It's ruining my reputation." she told me in her she-demon voice, as Hayley and I called it. Then, she drew her arm back and slapped me clear across the face, leaving me stunned. She normally just yelled at me, but this was new. She slapped me a second time, then a third. She had eventually slapped me 10 times, not including the first one.

"Go, you worthless piece of junk." she said to me, shoving me towards the stairs. I stumbled, then ran up them as fast as I could. I ran into my room, then slammed the door, startling the cat on my bed. I shoved the extremely fat cat off of my pillow, then collapsed on my bed, struggling to hold back tears. I then drifted off into a dreamless sleep, still clutching my sketchbook.

*********Next Morning*********

I woke up to endless beeping. I groaned, then looked at the time on my phone. I saw it was 7:50, school started at 8:00! I cursed, then grabbed my sketchbook and messenger bag, and ran downstairs. I ran past my sisters, eating breakfast in the kitchen.

"Gottagobye!" I shouted in their general direction, dashing out the front door towards school. I made it to class just in time, sliding into my seat just as the bell rang. Time for another day of boring classes, hooray.

Juleka POV

As the teacher explained something boring, I looked at Nathaniel for probably the 500th time in the past week. He had come in late today, almost missing the bell. I wondered what was up. His red hair was covering his cheek, but I saw a red mark on his cheek, in the shape of a hand, layered many times over.

"Hey Rose,"I whispered in her ear,"do you know what that red mark on Nathanael's cheek is?"

She shook her head no, then scribbled on a sheet of notebook paper, You'll find out. I know you can!

I decided that after class I would ask Nathanael what was with the mark.

What did you guys think? R&R please! I would really appreciate it. I know this isn't the best writing, though it gets better as the fic goes on.

Au Revoir!
