"Welcome back students. I hope you all had eventful holidays and are now all excited to start a new year at South Marin High School."
Excited? Are you fucking kidding me?
"We also expect you to give all your best and make this school proud and confident. We wish you all the best and a successfull start."
Why thank you you little dorks! Just what I needed to get a better first day.
After the sound from the loudspeakers faded away, she walked down the hall trying not to get overrun by the juniors, which were totally freaked out about being at high school and were spreading that special smell of unwashed hair and sweat in the halls. She wrinkeled her nose and led her direction to her locker. Once she was there she sorted out her books for the morning classes and checked again in the mirror, where she could find nothing but all of the things in correct positions. Makeup nonseethrough, eyeliner precise and lipgloss still glossy.
"Santanaaaa! I'm so happy to see you! How were your holidays, did you go somewhere, did you get a sunburn and which colour was your bikini?", someone squeaked from behind.
Well this day just can't get any better. The first perosn talking to me is actually the last person I want to talk to.
Santana turned around, slowly facing Cassandra with a fake smile on her lips.
"Well hello Cassandra. It is sooo nice to see you! Did you get brainwashed by kindergartners?", she asked, pointing to her red pullover with a little teddy bear printed in the middle.
"No, why do you think so?", she asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Santana just laughed, grabbed her books, slammed the locker door and headed towards the room for first class. She had to walk across the whole schoolground to get to the east wing. Right as she was turning around the corner to enter the wing, someone walked straight into her with the result that all of Santanas books fell to ground and onto her feet.
"Damn! Watch where you're going, will you?!", the Latina let out.
So this day officially wins the record of being the absolute best day ever!, she thought.
Santana turned around to collect her books but they weren't there anymore so she looked up and saw someone handing them to her. Santana looked a little more upwards to see who actually was the annoying kid, not watching where he is going and looked straight into huge blue eyes with extremly long lashes framing them and making them look even huger and more beautiful. And then there was that little, shy smile tugging on her lips. Santana was completely lost for a second, but collected herself as fast as possible. She looked at the girl again to see the whole of her. Santana hadn't seen her at school before, so she must be new, but she definitely did not look like a junior.
"I'm really, really sorry! I'm new here and still figuring out the school perimeter. I didn't see you coming! Please don't be mad at me or beat me up or something. But if you want to you can have my box of lucky charms I brought for lunch.", the blonde said hastily looking at Santana with a frightened look on her face.
Okay she definitely was new and why the hell did she bring a box of lucky charms for lunch?, Santana thought.
"Uuuh... Thanks for the lucky charms, though I'll pass, because you can never trust new people. In the end they're some paranoid freaks or terrorist who want to kill you. Anyways. Have fun at your first day!", the blackhaired answered, flicked her dark curls over her shoulder and picked up her way to first class, leaving a puzzled blonde girl behind her.
"Santana, is that you?", Amanda shouted from the kitchen. The Latina sighed and answered her aunt with a short yeah, heading directly to her room. She wasn't in the mood for fake quality time with her duplicitous and annoying aunt, whom she lived with for about 15 years, after her parents died in a car accident when she was 4 years old. And since Santana'd had no other family except for her aunt, Amanda was forced to take her in and Santana practically lived in hell from then on, since Amanda pionted out everyday, how much she disagrees with this "adoption".
Santana rushed into her tiny room in the basement, let herself fall onto the bed, pulled out her iPod to escape reality for a short time, before she had to go upstairs and make dinner for Amanda and pass the time with some awkward small talk.
"Santanaaa! It's almost six thirty! And I'm getting hungry. Now. And this dust in the flat makes me a bit peaky. Santana Lopez! Can you hear me?", was it coming from upstairs. The darkhaired sighed deeply, pulled herself up from the bed, tossed her iPod onto her night stand and made her way upstairs to start preparing dinner. Amanda already sat at the kitchen table, impatiently tapping her fingers on the table. Fortunately Santana prepared most of the things yesterday and just had to refresh some things and warm it a little to drape it carefully and nicely on a plate and serve it to Amanda.
She rapidly exited the kitchen to escape the complains and critic over the food from her aunt to go to sleep.
She could finally return to her room, just wanting to go to sleep, beeing really tired. But as she was half way down the stairs, some new demands followed her, with the result that she had to turn around and take care of the wishes for her aunt. Finally after putting some new sheets on the bed, ironing some blouses and sort Amanda's closet new, she nearly fell asleep standing, but although she asked Amanda to let her go to sleep, there were coming new demands every second.
After doing the fiftiest unnecessary thing for her aunt, Zara had enough. "Amanda, I'm really tired, can I go to bed now? I have a math test tomorrow.", she said.
"Well, I'm sorry, but you are not the Queen, I have a hard life too. I was working the whole day to pay our rent, so you can live here, and you have something to eat. And it's not my fault your parents died, when you were four and I had to adopt you.", she said, but Zara was already half way out of the flat and running down the street not knowing where she was going, only knowing she wanted to get away from Amanda and never come back.
She ran until she reached the town park and suddenly realized that she was totally out of breath so she sat down on a bench. Soon the tears were running down her cheeks and falling into her lap.
Brittany was sitting on her bed, trying to hold back tears. She had to move again. It was as if her life was just one jorney from one terrible foster family to the next depressing town into a new environment. She was tired of being moved like an object.
Her previous foster parents decided from one day to the other, that they want to spend the rest of their lives without any children and responsibility, so Brittany got kicked out and was now moved here, to a home which was practically the same as before, since her new foster parents didn't really care for her either and just accommodated her because of the money. And they made it pretty clear. The blonde got the tiniest room in the house, which also was barely furnished and her foster parents barely spoke with her, not caring about her feelings or any other thngs about her at all. The only thing Brittany wanted was a big and happy family, just like in the movies she sometimes saw, when she was a kid. But somehow her wish was never heard and has never had anybody else then herself.
Brittany heard her stomach growl and thougth it was time to get something to eat, but she could hear her foster parents shouting from downstairs and was afraid to go there. She was terrified by her new parents. They were shouting all the time and throwing things around and when they got home from work the drank a beer to relax a little. But then they drank another one and another one and until dinner they were totally wasted and started fighting.
The growl in her stomach grew from one minute to the other and Brittany started sorting out diffrent plans to find some food, since she still heard shouting from the kitchen. On the one hand she could try camouflage paint and sneak into the kitchen or she could jump out of the window and search for food in the forest or she could go to town and buy some food there. She decided for the latter. The blonde silently grabbed her phone and wallet and sneaked outside to go somewhere and grab something to eat.
After getting some take away in a chinese restaurant Brittany settled in the park on a bench and ate her food totally lost in her thoughts. Suddenly she spotted someone sitting at the other end of the bench. Brittany couldn't see who it was, but it was surely a silhoutte of a girl with very dark hair and it looked like she was crying silently. Brittany wanted to help her but was suddenly distracted by some shouts just behind the trees opposite of the bench. The shouts got louder and a few man in black came out of the darkness obviously fighting. The blonde and darkhaired girl both froze and couldn't move. Suddenly they heard the sound of a shot filling the air and one man fell to the ground. The darkhaired girl screamed out, jumped up and ran away, soon to be chased by two of the guys. Brittany couldn't move a muscle but somehow managed to get up and turn around and soon her adrenaline kicked in and she started to sprint towards the other end of the park. She heard footsteps behind her and tried to speed up a little just wanting to escape. She came to a cross-way and decided to go left. Suddenly she noticed that someone was running beside her and catched a fearful look out of beautiful dark eyes that came from a girl with absolute raven hair. Brittany recognised her from the bench.
The both ran for their lives. Suddenly they were tackled to the ground and everything went dark.
