Cadence stared blankly at the TV. The TV was so boring! Everything was so idiotic. Currently she was watching an old, bald man rubbing disgusting looking goop into his baldness. Cadence flipped the channel.

It was an old fat woman eating a donut. The powder was all over her face, she looked repulsive! Cadence was never eating a donut again.

"Oh boy, nothing to do!" She sighed and turned off the TV before she got sick.

To her everything was either disgusting or inhumane so she hardly ever ate anything. That would explain her appearance. She was tall and very thin. She wasn't ugly…just creepy looking. Her skin was so white, she was almost transparent from the lack of exposure to the sun (she never went outside unless her best friend made her by force), nutrients (she hardly ever ate, duh, what do you think??), and basically lack of life. She was dead!! At least she looked dead, I mean, what would you think if you saw a girl with transparently white skin, lifeless eyes and creepy looking straight long black hair?

I know exactly what I would think.

"GHOST!!!"

Then I'd scream and run around senselessly bumping into walls. In fact that's exactly what everyone did.

When Cadence was born the doctor actually thought she was dead. Nothing much has changed since then.

Because of the way she looked, not many people got to really know her (they were to busy hiding in their closets). But one kid was brave enough (or stupid enough) to actually stick around long enough to find that when poked with a stick she could in fact move (Yay, she lives… wait a minute… oh no, she's a zombie ruuuuunnnnnn!!!!!). His name was Caleb.

Caleb was 15 years old. He had sort of short dark drown/reddish hair usually put up into a tiny mohawky thingy and blue-green (turquoise I guess) liquid eyes. He was very, very, very, very, very good looking!

Cadence liked him very much. He understood her…to some degree (more than most but less than she would like). He always paid attention when others tried their best to avoid looking at her or being in the same room as her if possible. She wasn't exactly the nicest person. But no matter how creepy, mean, unapproachable or invisible (in the literal tem) she was, he never forgot about her (yeah right! he can't even remember his own name!).

Speaking of forgetfulness, Cadence also happened to forget that today was Caleb's birthday. Caleb was now 16 years old! Exactly 7 months older than Cadence.

As she sat there it gradually entered into her train of thoughts (and trust me we do NOT want to go there) that she did indeed have something to do.

"Oh SHIT!!!!" Cadence jumped up from the couch (wow, she can jump)

"That's right, today's Caleb's birthday! Aw man, I forgot to get him a present!"

Cadence stood there for a moment wondering what she could possibly do. She was broke at the moment and her dad absolutely despised Caleb so she'd get no help from him. So she decided to look around the house and wrap up the first thing she found that she thought he would like.

She scurried to her room and started her hunt.
