----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Veronica's POV-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neptune, the peak of perfection. So what happens when the bottom of the barrel not only destroys the curve, but spits on it and throws it in the trash. That's what amiee does, make anything seemingly normal and twists it. She's only my cousin by adoption, but we've known her since she was a baby. She acts like a mars, sarcastic, and aloof.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Veronica walks up to the girl and man standing next to the black minivan.
"Welcome to neptune, aimee", keith said.
She looked around and slowly tilted her glasses. She forced herself to smile.
"Thanks uncle keith for having me...", she said walking off.
Keith motioned foe veronica to follow her. Veronica saluted him and walked behind her. Aimee was a little taller then veronica, with fiery red hair. She had on a pair of shorts and sandals. She knelt down around the corner and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Veronica quickly grabbed the pack and threw them into a nearby trash can.
"You really shouldn't smoke...you okay?", she asked.
"I can't believe they made me move all the way from neptune...this blows!", she said, hitting her head on the wall behind her.
"Whoa now that's what got you sent here.", veronica joked.
"I freaked out at school big deal!", aimee said standing
"Correct me if I"m wrong you slammed your hand in your locker...until it broke skin.", veronica said pointing at aimee's hand.
"Whatever.", she said getting up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Veronica's POV-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay maybe I'm not the one to give advice. She had a mental lapse like most people, still she's a lot more guts then any sane person I knew, hell she was more sane then me sometimes. Truth is she's on a downward spiral, that she welcomes.

Veronica showed aimee around neptune. The apathetic girl just looked around and sighed. It was beyond obvious that she didn't want to be here. Her dark sunglasses covered her blue eyes, which wasn't unusual, at least not for her. Veronica showed her to the office and went to her first period class. Veronica sat in journalism contemplating how she was going to handle her case load and her loner cousin.
Aimee walked threw the hallway looking for her assigned classroom. She couldn't help but wonder. She heard some noise coming from around the corner. Several guys were sitting in the against the wall.
"Hey what are you looking at?!", one said getting up.
She didn't mean to start anything, she just stood there as he walked closer. She tried to speak but her throat became dry and speaking became impossible.
"I asked you a question...Can you speak!", he yelled again.
"Um...I-I got lost....", she stuttered.
He smirked and took the schedule from her.
"Aimee mars?...huh do you know a veronica?", he asked.
"Y-Yeah, she's my cousin.", she said with a sound of relief.
"A'ight...take this hallway back and on the left...that's where your class is.", he said handing the paper back to her.
She walked off before she even considered asking his name. She smirked to herself thinking, she had never been more afraid in her life. As aimee entered the class the feeling of fear crept back into her head, she hated being around other people much less having to talk to them.
Veronica sat with wallace at lunch.
"So why are you worried about your cousin?", he said drinking his soda.
"She has a social phobia...if it means her talking, eating, or generally having to interact with people she isn't use to...she freaks out and faints.", veronica explained.
She looked up at the doors and saw aimee quickly walking out. She was almost hyperventilating.
"You know most people call that paranoia.", wallace joked.
"Most people never hurt themselve because they wanted to be left alone.", veronica said getting up.
She walked over to aimee and grabbed her arm. Aimee swung around violently, though her heavy sunglasses covered her eyes, veronica could thell she was terrified. She hated being around more then five people, family included so school was sheer hell. She lead aimee to the table she was sitting at. Aimee sat across from wallace and took out a magazine.
"Hey I'm wallace.", he said holding his hand out.
Aimee looked at him, then his hand, then back to the article she was reading.
"Wait until there aren't so many people around.", veronica said in a joking way.
"Wait you were serious?", he said in amazement.
"Yeah she won't talk as long as we're in public.", she said looking around.
"So I see you found your way around.", a familiar voiced said looming.
She turned around and felt her heart begin to race.
"You've two met?", wallace asked.
"Yeah...she was lost this morning...so V really is your cousin.", he said.
Aimee looked at him and then pushed her glasses down, showing her blue eyes.
"Nice, I'm weevil...you?", he said.
"um...um...i-i.", she stuttered and then placed her hand over her mouth.
She felt her stomach jump twice. She grabbed her bag and ran off.
"She's aimee", veronica said getting up and running after her.
Aimee ran into the first bathroom she saw. She closed the stall, locked it and sat on the floor. She'd been too nervous to speak before, but never this much. Veronica walked in and locked the door.
"Okay aimee, it's just me...", she said.
"Go away.", aimee whispered in a low tone.
"Oh come on I know school sucks.", veronica joked while sitting next to the stall.
"I d-don't like other people...I'm not suppose to.", she said leaning her head against the divider.
"Yeah...well at least you have an excuse.", veronica joked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Veronica's POV-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay not the perfect ending to the perfect day. Far from it, but what did she mean by I'm not suppose to like anyone? Well I guess it'll reveal itself in due time. As for right now this moment, right now...I don't want it to end.
