Chapter one: Where are my glasses?

The girls pointed and whispered to each other as the girl dressed in all black walked up the school steps.

"You see her? The girl with the glasses…"

"No one likes her cause she's a—"

"Don't say it, Milly! She might get you!"

Quinn was quite used to the sneers of the other girls. Lately, though, almost everyone began to avoid her. Even Tammy, her best friend since 3rd grade, was trying to speak to her as little as possible. It all started when someone from school saw her on a date with a girl form a nearby school. This released the long kept secret that Quinn had hidden away in her world: she was gay.

Because Quinn went to an all-girls school, this just made her life worse. To "pretend" she couldn't hear the snide remarks, the lonely girl always had her nose in a book. From Romeo and Juliet to The Odyssey, her knowledge of banishment expanded.

Quinn tried her best to hold back tears as she walked up the school steps. Just then, she tripped and all the books in her arms fall to the ground and back down the stairs; her glasses flew almost ten feet. Without them, poor Quinn was blind like a bat. Tapping the ground, she found her glasses, but when she put them on there was a giant crack on the right lens.

'Well fuck. Now EVERYONE is looking at me.' Quinn gathered her books and continued walking. 'Breath, it's only a bunch of girls. What could go wrong, eh?'

"Well well well! The school lesbian came today. What happened to your glasses? Did they finally see your reflection?" Tanya Watson, the school bully. Although the school was full of girls (and Quinn liked it that way ;P) this particular girl she did not like. Quinn ran past and sat in home room.

'Wait for home, then the party begins.' She thought to herself.

-7 hours later-

"I'm home!" Silence. You could hear only the bubbling of the filter in the fish tank. "Mom? Dad? Helloooooo!" As big of a house it was, she knew they would have heard her. Walking into the kitchen, a note was curled up on the table with $100.00 next to it. The note read:

"Quinn, your mother and I have a business meeting to go to overseas. We will be back in two days. This should keep you well. If it isn't enough, then use our credit card (upstairs in our wardrobe). Call us if you want anything. –Your father"

Not an "I love you", not a "we will miss you". Just some money and a note. Quinn was used to this also. Since her parents were CEO's of Worthingson's Health (I made this up. Let's call it a health insurance company) they were always gone or home really late. Quinn didn't even touch the money. She strode into the kitchen, ate some food, and went to bed.

-The next day-

RINGRINGRINGRINGRINGRINGRI-

WHACK!

Quinn was not a morning person, and a screaming alarm clock was not much help. She sat up right, fell back down, and then fell to the floor. The girl let out a groan of despair and picked a wedgie. Her nightgown was all bunched up and she had lost one of her socks. Every morning , whenever she woke up, she was a mess.

Slowly and ungracefully, she got up and proceeded to put on workout clothes. Most mornings, if she's in the mood, Quinn will do yoga by the lake then eat ice cream the rest of the day while watching crappy soap operas.

By the lake, there were many people. "What a pretty day," Quinn said to no one in particular. She laid out her yoga mat next to a big oak tree that provided shade from the sun. It had swirls in the bark that seemed to whisper secrets to her. Quinn started to touch the tree, stroking every edge with care. Someone had carved the word "Rabbit Hole" into the middle of the trunk.

An old lady shuffled past and knocked Quinn's lunch box into the lake. "Fuck! Nononononno…" Quinn quickly took her shoes off and wadded into the water, retrieving the food. "Hey lady! Watch where you shufflin'!"

People began to point and whisper. "Why is she yelling at an old lady?" Quinn sighed and set down the box. 'Just like school. Point, stare, whisper.' Of course, at this exact moment, a Frisbee had to hit her square in the head. The square rimmed glasses flew off in one direction, leaving the teen blind. 'Fuck,' she thought. 'Where'd they go?' Pat pat pat. 'Nope, branch.' Pat pat pat. 'My shoe…'

It was this moment that Quinn decided to stand up and walk forward, straight into the tree. I mean that quite literally since the tree kinda absorbed her. Quinn tried to scream, but no sound came out. She wanted to let out a noise but all she could think was, 'I wish I could SEE what's happening…'

Down and down again she fell, whizzing past bright colours and giant cubes. She started to sing to herself, but soon tired of it. Counting to a million, it made her fall asleep. Now, when Quinn falls asleep, nothing can wake her up but an alarm clock. She didn't even wake up when she hit the ocean and drifted ashore.
