Keep holdin' on. TFP fanfiction
(Miko)
It had been a crappy day, even before she was stabbed in the back. Not literaly of course, but it sure as hell felt like it. First
she had woken up late because her alarm clock was being screwy, causing her to skip breakfast, throw on a pair of shorts
and a tshirt, grab her bag, and run out the door to meet Bulkhead. Then she had left her science project at home, thankfully
her teacher understood and gave her until the next bell to turn it in for 10 points off. After science was her most hated class.
Gym.
It wasn't like she wasn't physically fir or anything, she loved P.E, she was even thinking about taking it all through high school.
But there were a few issues with her class. First was that she had 1 friend in that class. Her name was Allysa Nightingale,
pretty girl with gleaming blue eyes, pale skin, dirty blond hair, and even dirtier mind. She and Miko would joke an laugh
through the whole block. The teacher didn't care though, they were the only one's who acually put effort into their work.
The second issue was Jack's crush, Sierra Simmons (don't know her real last name nor do I care). As much as Jack believed
she was a saint, she wasn't. She was the Queen Bitch Bee of the school, and everyone knew it. Excluding Jack. She would
go out of her way to make Miko's life misreable. Using harm word, gestures, physically and emotionally abusing the young
japanese girl. Even through all this pain and misery, she couldn't find herself to tell Jack what Sierrs was really like for the fear
of him taking the bitch's side and being even more hurt.
Didn't matter though, he did that without her help.
Today was no different for the bully girl. She looked disgusted at Miko's light grey baggy sweat pants, her form fitting black
rock tshirts, Vans, and her hair tied up in a messy bun.
"Looks like you just got out of bed Nakadai." Sierra sneered as she leaned against the locker watching her victum chage into
her gym uniform. In truth Sierra was jelious of the other girl, she was exoticly beautiful, fun, joyful, carefree, and loving.
Everything she wished she could be.
Miko just ignored her, though it took all her strenght to not reatch across the little concrete island that searated them and
bitch slap the ginger girl.
Sierra was getting angry.
"I was talking to Jack this morning durning firt bell. He was complaining about you being immature and irrisponsible. AGAIN!"
Sierra laughed bitterly.
Again Miko ignored her, consetrating on putting her clothes on and letting her mind wonder to the outskirts of her mind, the
one place noone can judge.
But Sierra's voice continued, followed by a smack in the head.
"Are you even listening to me?" Sierra pretty much yelled,
"No." Was all Miko said as she brushed past Sierra's goons and walked in the direction of Allysa, who looked like Sierra has
just kicked her puppy and eaten her cookies, not a good idea by the way, she will slit your throat for that mess.
"Can I kill her now?" Allysa said it jokingly, but Miko could see the seriousness in her eyes.
"Wait until we leave the building, then you'll only get busted by the cops, and not the school AND the cops for murder." Miko
said, a ghostly smile playing her her pink lips.
Allysa huffed.
"Fine."
The bell went smoothly after that. Unless you count Sierra's evilness lurking around every corner. Muahaha.
The bell had finally rung and Miko, acomponied by Allysa made their way to lunch, until Miko realized that she had no money
in her account anymore, and forced Allysa to go with her to her locker, who groaned about long lunch lines.
They were just about to turn the corner to Miko's locker, when they heard two very familair voices. Jack and Sierra.
"You can't acually tell me that you care about her do you Jack Darby?" Sierra's voice rung out in the now empty halls. Miko
winced, they were talking about her.
"Sierra-" Jack tried to reason with the angry girl.
"Jack she's outta control! Hitting me? Calling me names? You know her best Jack...Either you do something...Or I will."
With that she stomped away, thankfully in the opposite direction.
We heard Jack sigh, and lighly bang his head against the stone wall.
Miko got her ass chewed by him ten minutes later at lunch. In front of everybody. Miko had never been so embaressed, her
face had flushed red (which was more adorible than anything else), she stuttered, Jack repeatedly cut her off and called her a
liar, while Sierra just sat at her table and laughed. Finally Miko couldn't take it anymore, shoved Jack away, and ran out of the
school, nobody stopped her. The teachers knew what was really going on and even unlovked the doors and stood away from
them.
Miko ran all the way home, Allysa hot on her heels, and flopped on the bed crying her eyes out.
Allysa just sat on the heartbroken girl's bed, patting her back and whispering words of encouragement, but it was in vain. So
she turned on the Ipod home system and turned on Miko's favorite movie soundtrack. August Rush. Raise it up played and
soon Miko was asleep, Allysa tucked her in and left, seeing red.
