--------
When you're an outsider looking in the world seems different than what it really is, time seems like forever when in truth, only a few moments have passed. Seeing the world from my point of view may have some effect on you, so if you're brave or just plain foolish come with me and I will tell you a tale. A tale not for the faint of heart.
Let me set the scene for you; imagine a beautiful sunny day, two teens walking down the street laughing happily. One a female around the age of 16, her golden locks flow in the wind, her eyes are as bright and big as the ocean not far from were they walked. A black tank top hugged her curvy features, a black necklace hung from her neck, a precious treasure to her. Her shoes were a pair of simple white sneakers.
The boy was about a year older then her, his hair was a dazzling bright red in the shape of devil horns, he had two strands of hair spiked up and fall over his amazing ice blue eyes. He wore a white shirt and black pants with a silver chain dangling around his neck with a cross pendent. For shoes he wore a simple pair of black skater shoes.
"Such a wonderful day, don't you think?" Tala said as we walked down towards our school. His friendly voice made me smile "Yeah, if you're into the whole sunny happy thing." Tala laughed as he slung his arm around my shoulders "C'mon Zahra lighten up, you're killing my mood not to mention cramping my s-t-y-l-e" Tala complained "Then my job is a blatant success" I smirked as Tala looked at me wide eyed "You are pure evil!" he gushed making me laugh "And ever so proud of it!" I called over my shoulder as I raced off to school, Tala laughing as he ran after me.

"Do you honestly think that any teacher would accept this piece of… Um, well scribble that you call art?" Mrs. Stanford spoke to Tala as he stood by her desk. I felt a smirk tug at my lips as I roll my eyes "Just in time for the action" I whispered as I walked past, he glanced at me and snickered "Yeah at this rate Mrs. Bitch will have a heart attack with any luck" he whispered in my ear so he wouldn't get in more trouble.
I snicker at his comment making the teachers' attention snap back at us with a nasty glare plastered on her face. "Why are you two children late?" she pleasantly demanded as if she were still teaching kindergarten. I roll my eyes yet again. "Why are you still alive?" I retorted boldly receiving another glare from 'Mrs. Bitch'. "You little wise…" She was cut off.
I look up and stared into amazing crimson orbs but instead of looking at me the gaze was directed at Mrs. Bitch with a bemused glare. I studied him for a moment he was extremely handsome with two toned blue hair, his beautiful crimson eyes shifted to me briefly before they were sent back to the teacher with a look that would kill anyone under its harsh gaze.
He had well toned arms and a well built body; he had four blue tattoos that looked like shark fins painted on his face, two on each cheek. He had a stud in his right eyebrow which gave him a slightly wild look that I found very appealing. He wore a white muscle shirt and black baggy jeans; he wore black converse shoes and had a silver chain around his neck.
I glanced at Tala and noticed that he was just as surprised as I was; I looked back to the guy and saw that he was looking at me; he smirked at me once again as if he were amused. I look at him again and raise an eyebrow. "Kai" he said taking my hand and shaking it. I smile his name suited him. "Kai" I repeated letting it roll off my tongue. "I'm Zahra" I said before I made an even bigger fool of myself. Kai nodded "Zahra," he thought about it for a minute. "Suits you."
"So what's the deal with the kindi come art teacher, give her a chance and I bet she would bite the head off small children? Like Ozzy did with the bat." Kai asked as we sat for lunch "Oh you mean our own lucky bitchy art teacher?" Tala laughed casually Kai nodded though he didn't seem to understand the humor. "She has this way of being a total bitch but still being nice at the same time, she has a sickly sweet voice that would make your teeth root if you gave it a chance. She used to teach kindergarten before she discovered that high school teachers get paid more and here she is." I said as I sat down with an pleased look on my face.
The lunch bell had rung ten minutes ago and right on cue a trio of girls with more make-up on then ever need, tub tops, mini skirts that were way to short and high heal boots walked up to us. I glanced at them out of the corner of my eye and grunt 'Scruts' I thought grimly as they came closer.
They glared at me and regarded me as if I were some kind of deadly dangerous insect that needed to be exterminated immediately. They then looked to Tala and Kai and batted their long heavy covered eyelashes "Oh, Tala baby why didn't you call me over the weekend and why haven't you introduced me to your new friend?" Scarlet said, she was the head of the 'Scrut Squad' as I like to call them and took her place possessively on his lap.
I ground my teeth together trying not to growl as she placed a kiss on his lips, honestly it's enough to make anyone sick. Tala wasn't too pleased with the sudden action either as he pushed her off. Scarlet scowled as she landed on the ground "Ow, Tala sweetie what was that for?" she asked Tala glared down at her "For being a pain in my ass ever since we dated and even before!" he told her in a level as he stood.
I suppressed my laughter by biting my lip I would be in so much shit if she caught me laughing. Scarlet growled as she glared at him 'I'm guessing she didn't like getting rejected this way, or being rejected at all' I thought. Scarlet stood with a proud aura trying to hide the embarrassment of being rejected by the most popular guy in school in front of everyone.
Tala glared back challenging her to defy him, Scarlet growled again as she grunted "You were a waste of my time anyway" she said as she regarded him coldly she turned and stalked off with her minions behind her.
Once she was fully out of sight I howled with laughter "Th-that was pri-priceless, Tala!" I laughed Tala smirked in my direction but I swear I saw some kind of emotion…regret? No, Tala was the one who broke it off. He wanted this right? Tala then as if reading my thoughts put on a fake smile and joined in with the laughter. "Yeah she is kinda pathetic."
Kai looked confused as to why we were laughing I stop laughing after awhile and look at him then at Tala and grinned "Okay, What do you lot plan to do after school?" I asked Tala shrugged (a standard response) "Whatever, as long as those bitches are far away and out of sight" he murmured.
"Kai?" I asked Kai shrugged "I'm not too familiar with this area" he said, that was perfect a grin spread across my face. "Well then you need a proper tour" I stood they both looked at me as if I were crazy as I pulled them to there feet and drag them towards the door then stopped. I had gotten a little ahead of myself. "Hehe sorry, forgot we still had school." Both boys shook their heads before returning to their seats.

"Zahra, where the hell are you taking us!" Tala demanded "Around the whole town" I answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world Tala raised an eyebrow "Why?" he asked "Kai needs a tour of the town, dumbass" I snickered "No, I'd rather get lost a few times and figure it out for myself." Kai voiced out his opinion I roll my eyes "But Kai-," I was cut off "No" Kai growled his tone was final.
I was about to cringed at his harsh voice but instead I raise my head high and glare at him. Kai was taken aback by my action but he smirked as if he were challenging a six-year old. I growl as a scowl crossed my face no way was I about to let him take me down with out a fight. "Are you really going to waste my and your time by having a fight right in the center of the town, just because I don't want a tour?!" Kai growled.
"No one asked you to come here, Hiwatari!" I sneered "No one wants you here anyway!" I growled as I came close to him. Kai smirked at this his warm breath lingered along my face. "Maybe no one else wants me here, but I can see clearly that you do" he whispered.
My eyes flashed with anger "even though what he said is true, there is no way in hell am I going to let him know" I thought as I growl "Sod off, Hiwatari" I hiss in his ear before I turned and stalked off.
"Fine" Kai whispered as he turned and walked off in the other direction. Tala blinked confused as to what just happened "Where'd they go" he asked before he shrugged and walked off as well.

I glower as I walked back to the house "Stupid, smart assed cool dude wanna be." I growl under my breath as I slam the door close "Jeez, what da fuck is yo problem?" asked a voice of my father from where he was sprawled out across the couch with a beer can in is customary place, his hand. He was well on his way to drunk and I didn't want anything to do with him, I never did. Ever since my mother died my life took a turn for the worst and if it wasn't for Tala I'm sure I wouldn't be here. All that kept me hanging on was the fact that I knew he would be devastated of I offed myself. When I was younger I thought suicide was for the weak and attention seekers but when my life changed and my heart filled with desolation and misery I began to view the idea with a new light. Then there was the fact of how I would do it, I thought about it for a long time but I decided that I didn't want to die. Tala's life would be empty without me, sure he had his mother and father but I'm the light in Tala's life. Now that I think about it I'm too weak to actually kill myself, killing yourself is said to be weak but actually getting the courage to do it takes so serious guts and well, I guess I don't have the guts cause I'm still here.
