This story is based off of the Broadway show called Heathers which is a Dark comedy. Future chapters will be rated M for reasons. I do suggest you watch a bootleg version of the show or listen to the soundtrack to get an idea of what's going on. Beware of the cussing used.
KAI AND NYA ARE NOT SIBLINGS IN THIS STORY.
Nya's POV:
"September 1st 1989...
Dear diary."
I believe I'm a good person, you know I believe there's good in everyone but... here we are... first day of senior year! And I look around at all these kids that I've known all my life and I ask myself, "What happened?".
"FREAK!" "SLUT!" "BURN OUT!" "BUG EYES!" "POSER!" "LARD ASS!"
We were so tiny happy and shiny, playing tag and getting chased.
"FREAK!" "SLUT!" "LOSER!" "SHORTBUS!"
Singing and clapping, laughing and napping, baking cookies, eating paste.
"BULLED EYE!" "STUCK UP!" "HUNCHBACK!"
Then we got bigger that was the trigger like the Huns invading Rome...
As that thought ran in my mind I was pushed into a girl whom I never met before.
"ARGH! Oh sorry."
Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school, this is the thunder dome. Hold your breath and count the days we're graduating soon...
"WHITE TRASH!"
College will be paradise if I'm not dead by June! But I know I know I know... life can be beautiful. I pray, I pray I pray for a better way. If we changed back then, we could change again. We could be beautiful... *CRASH* but not today.
Being pulled away from my thoughts, I turned around to a see a young man (definitely NOT a senior) on the ground.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Ugh get away Nerd!"
"O-oh okay."
"FREAK!" "SLUT!" "LOSER!" "HOMO!" "HOMO!" "HOMO!"
Things will get better soon as my letter comes from Harvard, Dupe or Brown. Away from this coma, just take my diploma then I can blow this town. Dream of ivy covered walls and smokey French cafes...
"WATCH THIS GIRLS!"
Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze! Before I had time to even defend myself, Harumi smashed my lunch tray to the ground. Of course I should probably tell you who she is. She's Harumi Marx. 3rd year as student body president and 8th of being a bratty snob, smacking lunch trays and being a huge TWAT.
"What did you say to me, snank?"
I had not realised I had called her a twat out loud, shit.
"Aha... nothing!"
But I know, I know, I know life can be beautiful. I pray, I pray, I pray for a better way... We were kind before we can be kind once more.
We can be beautiful...
"Argh! Hey Zane."
"Hey."
Zane Julian, my best friend since... diapers.
"We on for movie night?"
"Yeah, you're on jiffy pop detail."
"I rented the Ninjago Movie!"
"Again Zane? Don't you have that film memorised by now?"
"What can I say Nya, I'm a sucker for a happy ending."
"ZANE GAYLIAN! WIDE LOAD HAHA!"
Dareth Kelly. Quarterback. He's the smartest guy on the football team, which is kinda like being the tallest dwarf.
"HAHA ALRIGHT!"
"Hey!" I yelled at Dareth, "Pick that up right now!"
"I'm sorry are you actually talking to me?"
"Yes I am. I want to know the rights of why you get to pick on my friend. You're a high school has been waiting to happen - a future gas station attendant."
"You have a zit right there."
"HAHAHHAHHA!"
Dear diary...
"Why do they hate me?"
"Why don't I fight back?"
"Why do I act like such a creep?"
Why...
"Why won't he date me?"
"Why did I hit him?"
"Why do I cry myself to sleep?"
WHY...
"Somebody hug me! Somebody fix me! Somebody save me!"
Send me a sign God, just give me some hope here, something to live for!
Then the school corridors fell quiet.
And then there's the ninja - they float above it all..
"I love the ninja, the ninja, the ninja..."
Lloyd Garmadon - head cheerleader, his Mom is loaded as she sells engagement rings.
Cole Brookstone - Runs yearbook. No interesting personality but his Dad did pay for the bicep implants.
And, Kai Smith, the almighty...
He is a mythic bitch.
They're solid material, never bothered, rarely harassed, I would give anything to be like them.
"I'd like to be their girlfriend."
"If I sat at their table, guys would notice me."
"I want them to be nicer."
"I would like to kidnap a Ninja, photograph them nude in an abandoned school and leave them tied up for the rats."
Just as I thought, there are messed up people at this school.
In the bathroom..."BLEUGHHH!"
"Grow up Cole, hangovers are so '05."
"Maybe you should see a doctor, Cole."
"Yeah, Lloyd, maybe I should."
The thing about our school is that we have unisex bathrooms and of course that's where the Ninjas go to get away from everyone. Guess where I was that morning? In the bathroom, hiding in a stall, away from the Ninja.
"Ahh, Lloyd and Kai-"
"BLEUGHHH"
"And Cole. Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over the vomiting? You're all late for class."
"Cole wasn't feeling well - we're helping him."
"Not without a hall pass, Kai. That's a week worth of detention."
From where I was in the stall I could tell Mrs.Misako was telling them off for no pass, until I got an idea.
"Um actually Mrs.Misako we're out on a hall pass... Yearbook committee."
I love my forgery skills.
"I see you four are all listed. Get where you're going, Now."
And with that, Mrs Misako was out. I thought I was fine until Kai grabbed the fake pass from my hand.
"This is an excellent forgery... WHO ARE YOU?"
"Um Nya Sawyer, I crave a boon."
"What boon?"
"Um just let me sit at your table, uh just once, NO talking necessary, if people think you guys tolerate me then they'll leave me alone."
They obviously thought that was ridiculous as they just laughed at me before I remembered what else I do...
"Before you answer I also do report cards, permission slips and absent notes."
That got them listening.
"What about prescriptions?"
"Shut up Cole."
"Sorry Kai." Damn, Kai is bossy.
"For a nobody, you do have good bone structure."
"And a symmetrical face. If I took a katana down the centre of your face, I'd have matching halves. That's VERY important."
Okay, maybe there's something wrong with Lloyd.
"Cole?"
"Of course she could stand to lose a few pounds."
"And you know, you know, you know, this could be beautiful. A new outfit maybe a gi and we'll be on our way... get this girl a blazer and Lloyd I'll need your scissors. Let's make her one of us."
And BAM the ninja started to work their magic on me, transforming me from a nobody to a somebody.
At lunch that day...
"OUT OF MY WAY GEEK! I DON'T WANT TROUBLE BUT YOU'RE GONNA DIE AT 3PM!"
"Don't you DARE touch me! Get away pervert!"
"What did I ever do to them?"
"Who could survive this? We can't escape this? I think I'm dying!"
"Who's that with the Ninja!?"
Woah.
"The ninja, ninja, ninja... and SOMEONE."
"The ninja, ninja, ninja... and a babe."
"The ninja, ninja, ninja..."
"Nya?"
AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL. YOU HOPE, YOU DREAM AND PRAY AND YOU GET YOUR WAY! ASK ME HOW IT FEELS LOOKING LIKR HELL ON WHEELS! MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL! I MIGHT BE BEAUTIFUL! AND WHEN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL...
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FREAKING DAY!!!!!
