Blossom sighs, leaning her body out of the window of her room, feeling the cool breeze blow through her orange tinted hair, her soft light freckled face, calming her nerves, which are on end as they are every other day.
Her parents were never much for taking responsibility, so she was the parent figure to her sisters, which was unfair seeing as they were triplets, she packed their food for school, helped them with their home work, and made dinner. Their parents were just. . .There.
They left sometimes, and came back drunk or stoned, they yelled at the girls and throw things at them, the girls learned at a young age how to dodge a plate, or a fist, and when they couldn't they got their story straight before school, they knew that if anyone found out how their house really was they would be put into foster care, and probably separated.
They were close, they were protection for each other, against the world.
Buttercup was by far the toughest of the girls, when they were younger she would jump in front of her sisters if their mom or dad was getting rough, she would take the hit with a grin, and swear up and down to her sisters that she was okay, even if she wasn't. Her hair is black, and has never been further down than her shoulders, framing her face. She has bright green eyes.
Bubbles brought happiness to her sisters, even though they were in such a bad situation she always found a way to look on the bright side, when she broke her arm dodging a table that her father had flipped over towards her the only thing she said was that at least she didn't break something more important. Her hair is naturally hunny blonde, with curls twisting around the ends, it works perfectly with her bright baby blue eyes.
Even though she's the happiest of the girls she's also the most sensitive, though not many people know it, she's only ever cried in front of her sisters, she tries to be brave though.
Then Blossom, Blossom is the brains of the group, at a young age she figured out that her sisters and her were on their own, that their parent's were just untamed dogs that lived in their house, and that they would have to fend for themselves. She figured out how to get food when they needed it, and money for the rent since her parent's weren't going to do any of that.
She had a plan where Bubbles walks into a grocery store and trips, screaming in pain and getting the attention of all the customers and employees. Blossom then runs to her sister,a fake packet of blood in her hand that she then rubs all over the blonde's body.
While the people are distracted Buttercup grabs small foods, candy bars, ramen noodle packs, potatoes, etc. and puts them into a purse. She then proceeds to the counter with ONE candy bar and ONE dollar to pay for it, so as not to look suspicious when coming into a store and not buying anything.
To get the money Blossom has discovered that the restaurant down the street from their house has a kids eat free day, which she takes her sisters to, there they pretend to play with each other by jumping from booth to booth, but what they are really doing is finding a tip that someone has left on the table and taking it, shoving it into their pockets. They never take more than five dollars a week, that would be stupid. Greediness is what gets people caught.
They enrolled themselves in school when they were Ten, Blossom had heard some kids talking about it, and decided it might be good for her sisters and her.
Even though they were poor, and sometimes had cuts or bruises on their faces and arms, the girls had beauty that everyone in the school could see, which is probably why Princess morebucks, the richest girl in the elementary school, decided to pick on them. She called Blossom a know it all, Bubbles was a blonde "Bimbo" Which was a word she had heard her father use to describe his ex-girlfriends, and Buttercup was a boy, because she acted like one and had short hair.
Pretty soon the teasing caught on and everyone in the school was doing it, even if they didn't know why. Blossom was the school nerd, Bubbles was a ditzy idiot that boys picked on and girls gossiped about, and Buttercup was the tom boy, known as of middle school as a "dyke".
From grade school to middle school the girls parents were just there for show really, the girls could pretend their parents were the ones taking care of them, but in Seventh grade they left. They ran away, they didn't have any responsibilities at all, but in the note their mom left it said that having to raise three children was just too stressful.
That made things a little more difficult for the girls, they knew that if anyone found out they were twelve years old living alone in a run down shack of a house, they would definitely be taken away, and they didn't want that. So they hid it. At all costs.
That brings us to now, the girls first day of Sophomore year at Pockey-oats high school, a day they've dreaded all summer, back to the same school, the same kids, the same teasing, the same stress, and the same life. Only today, the buzz around school is the new kids coming today, the Jojo brothers.
