A/N: I don't own Mirror's Edge, though it would be pretty cool if I did XD! None of the characters belong to me, except the odd few – They're mine! ALL MINE! *Physchotic Screaming* MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! :3
Danisha gazed miserably out of the window, a pen lolling lazily in her hand. A teachers voice barked somewhere in the distance, explaining the pointless rules of mathematics and algebra. She stared back down at her exercise book and tapped her pen on the pages, as if hoping for the answer to pop up on the squares. Sighing she wiped her forehead from the summer heat and rested her head on one hand, to continue day dreaming
"Oi redhead!"
"Stick insect!"
"Eww… don't come near me!"
The insults flew at Dan mercilessly. She retorted back, but the other teens just laughed.
She slipped down the wall, sitting in the corner of the school yard on her own. As she expected, it wasn't long before a taller blonde girl swaggered up to Dan, a little group of girls scurrying in her wake.
"Hey rust hair."
"Go die."
"Ooh, don't be cheeky!"
"Just piss off for gods sake!"
"Mind your language!" Alicia swooped down and yanked Dan up to her feet by her collar. Her face was instantly inches from Alicia's.
"Leave me alone, blonde bitch!" Dan tried to defend herself. All she felt after that was a sharp pain in her stomach, as Alicia's fist connected. Throwing a punch back, Dan was instantly pounced on by three other girls, tackling her to the floor.
Dan scrambled out of the mob and ran. Bruises were already appearing on her eyes and face. She ran into the toilets, still being pursued by the gang. Shutting her self in the cubical, she climbed onto the toilet seat as the chav girls bashed on the door hard. Dan desperately looked for a way out, and saw a lining of windows around the edge of the loos. Breathing in hard Dani curled her hand into a fist, punched out the glass and hauled herself out onto the roof of the school.
Climbing nimbly up a drain pipe Dan went higher and higher onto the school buildings, only stopping when she was right at the top. She lay down on the roof and panted heavily.
"DANISHA WALLS!!!"
Dan sprung too her feet to see her maths teacher, Mr. Walsh, stood on the roof with the gang hauling themselves up, all cherry red in the face and sweating heavily. Neither Dan nor Walsh was even breaking a sweat. He opened his mouth to yell.
"WHAT IN GODS NAME DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING ONTOP OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING?"
Dani just stood there, not doing anything. She shut her eyes for a minute, enjoying the feeling of wind rustling through her hair, caressing her face. Oh if only she could live up here, she though sadly. Nobody to bother you. Bliss.
Reopening her eyes all she saw was Alicia running towards her, pure hatred in her eyes. She was holding her hands out, going for Dans neck. Dan spun around, and took off at a flying run. Without thinking, she launched herself off the building. The wind was beautiful, she thought. She felt like a bird as she landed roughly on the next building. She saw Walsh and Alicia gawp at her in amazement as Dan suddenly analyzed the jump she had just made. It was a twenty foot drop to the next building, and at least two meters apart. Dan dropped her bag, removed her blazer and jumper and ripped her tie off before she continued to run.
