ALRIGHTY! This is a day in the life of my OCs before "They" start to roam the earth. Maybe you guys can get a feel for the two. And I promise that if you want all the others will have a Pre-D Day chapter as well.
Chapter 0
The day was like every other day in Florida, sunny and thankfully a slight breeze that helped against the sun. The citizens of a small community hit the roads as they try to meet up with friends or coworkers for lunch. Teenagers are gathering around fast food restaurants near their schools and some sneak off to the local mall. Different groups are spotted entering the numerous stores, making lines at the food court, and having fun. But in the center of the mall rests a fountain that its bottom is full of shiny coins with hopes and dreams of the previous owners. Across from that fountain is a bench with a lone teen just staring off into the sky.
"What to do…what to do" the young man young asked himself
After a long time just lying there on the bench, the young man gets up from it and starts to walk off towards the exit. Hoping that something would come up to stop this unbearable boredom that has landed on him. Just as he stops to stretch and lets out a loud yawn, he catches a glimpse of himself in a store window. He can tell that his usual set of clothes looks out of place. So fixes up his vest and white shirt to a presentable manner as well as dusting off the dirt left on his jeans. "Damn kids" he thought to himself as he recalled the kids that were tossing around a dirty ball.
Now feeling his best the young man starts to move away when something catches his eye. In fact it was the look he had in his eyes, the color and feelings it seemed to pour out, this brought him to a less then happy mood. Without realizing that his left hand was covering his left eye. He moves in closer to the window and places his right hand to the glass. Looking into his only exposed eye the young man acts as if he sees a ghost. Those eyes always seemed to bug him, the way they looked and brought back the memories of a rough past that he wants to forget. "How many more times do I have to say it!" he yelled and got a reply by a sweet sounding voice a second later. "Until I say so silly"
The young man quickly turns around to see a very familiar red headed teen holding her pink backpack in one hand. Doing one light hop towards the man, the girl leans in a bit and looks up to meet his eyes with a huge smile on her face. "What do you want Sarah?" was all he could muster with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"Now why do you sound like you're already passed your moody point Zion?" She asked hopping even closer
"That's cause I am" he replied moving slightly away from her as she got closer
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" she yelled. Quickly jumping to his side locking his left arm in her arms tightly. Zion couldn't help but blush and turn his head away from her knowing well that if she saw him that she wouldn't let him live it down. The girl can't help but giggle, as she knew him well enough to know that this was causing him to be uncomfortable. Pushing him more the girl decided to tease him by lightly pushing her breasts into his arm. This caused him to tense up and she felt it in his arm. Sarah had always got a small enjoyment out of teasing the man in this manner as he sort of doesn't know how to handle women all too well.
"Uh…Sarah" Zion tried to move his arm but it just made him feel more of her. Trying not to think of how soft they felt he brushed his hair back with his free hand.
"You know…" she whispered lightly into his ear. "You shouldn't ignore a girl that's this close to you ya know"
"Yeah, well I can't tell if you're serious or just fucking with me as usual" he told her with a smirk on his face. Finally being able to look at her face to face.
Sarah just started to laugh at his response and let go of his arm to grab her sides. He lets out a sigh of relief at the fact that he got his personal space back. The girl laughed for a good minute before she starts to dig into her bag. "You know me all too well" she finally let out while pulling out a white envelope and handing it to him. He reaches for it only to have her pull it back and giving him a wicked smile. Knowing her, she wanted something from him for delivering the letter to him like this. So he step closer and grabbed the letter "I'll do it tomorrow". She jumped in joy to his response. This brought a smile to his face but quickly went away as he realized whom the letter was from. Sarah stop jumping around as she noticed the expression on his face wasn't one she liked. The young man crumbled up the paper and tossed it as far as he could. "Like that wasn't fucking obvious" he walked off to the exit. She was curious to see what was in the letter but something told her that she shouldn't intrude so she followed him.
Still feeling anger at what he just read, Zion rushed outside before he ended up breaking a window. But before he could open the door to the outside a gentle hand stops him by grabbing his wrist. Knowing full well who it was that stopped him from walking outside the young man turned around. There stood Sarah looking at him with concern in her eyes.
"Hey…" she couldn't muster up words. Looking into his eyes that curiously glowed at the suns glare. It was one of the things that she loved and feared about his eyes.
"Why aren't you in school?" He said with an upset tone.
"You forget it's my last year there. So I can slack off" She was able to give him a weak smile.
"Yeah…whatever" he felt her let go of his wrist
"Besides its lunch time" she giggled. All she could do was move her arms to her back and sway back and forth.
Zion just kept silent and looked off into the distance as they both stood there in the awkward silence. They couldn't find the right thing to say to each other as minutes just flew by them. Finally fed up with it Sarah just asked, "What was in that letter?"
"Nunya" He replied.
"What are you trying to hide?" she yelled at him swing her bag around.
"I'm sure you have an idea" he said with a bit of an amused tone but still trying to sound upset.
"Here I was trying to cheer you up from this slump you've been in and you just up a ruin my day!" still swinging her bag with an obvious mad look on her face.
Acting the way she was, Zion couldn't help but let out a slight laugh. This broke her out of her rant. It was rare to see that man smile and even rarer to actually get him to laugh for even a second. Now that he was in a better mood then he was just in a couple minutes ago he rubbed his arm and apologized to her. She shook her head and gestured for him to follow her out of the mall.
They walked in silence for next the few minutes to what seemed like to Zion was Sarah's school. He did not mind it though cause he always liked walking and always liked being around school. Though he isn't in school any more, he felt as though that was more of a sanctuary he can freely visit. Sarah happily skips and hums to herself as she feels a bit successful at her attempt to cheer her friend up. Just as she was about to turn a corner a little girl caught her eye. "Awww…poor thing is crying" she felt bad
Zion slowly walked to the little girl and knelt down to her eye level.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"You ok sweetie?" Sarah asked crouching down beside the tiny young girl
Feeling a bit nervous the girl just let her tears run down and said "My puppy"
Zion looks up and spots the sign of the building they are in front of. An animal hospital…
"It's ok. The doctors here are great and will fix your pup"
"It's my fault" she sobbed
"Oh sweetie…it's not" Sarah could only rub the little girls back as she continued to cry.
"I gave him…I gave him…I gave him bad fooooooooood" the girl couldn't help but jump into Zion's chest and cry.
"Hey now. Ok. Just let it all out" he held the girl as he got up and looked over to Sarah. "Are you ok going to school alone?"
"Yeah. Just get her back to her parents" and just as she turns around the little girl reaches out to grab her shirt.
"Thank you Sarah" the little girl whispers
"Looks like miss popular helps cleanse another soul" Zion lets out as he walks inside the shelter.
Sarah laughs to herself at his sad attempt at a joke. She then continues to walk to school.
xXx
After about and hour or so in school, Sarah rushes out of class as soon as the bell rings and gets to her locker. With only one class left to go until school is out for the day has given her an extra boost of energy. But just like every other day in her school, that energy is used for something other then class. She shuts her locker and can already hear someone getting picked on at a distance.
"Come on nerd! Catch the glasses" a young teen wearing a jacket with the school colors and a big C on the back.
"Aw come on guys" said the poor young freshman trying to catch his breath and his glasses
Sarah knew that her day wasn't going to go so smoothly but she hoped it would have. She rushed over to help the kid out of the lion's den that he was stuck in. "Hey" she called out to them. They all looked at her approaching them, the guy wearing the jacket gets a huge smile on her face. "Well…well…well. If it isn't my future wifey" he let out a laugh and all the other men around him laughed with him. A sickening look filled her face as she snatched the glasses from his hands. Not really caring the bully just watches her give them back to the owner and helps him pick up the books and papers that were scattered on the floor. He felt proud of his handy work. Causing that tiny kid pain was something he liked but watching the sweet girl help gave him more satisfaction. After the kid thanks the girl for her help, she turns to face the man. Angry with him she speaks with an attitude in her voice "What Hell is wrong with you?"
"What you mean?" he acted dumb about his actions
"Everyday you pick on a different kid and for what?" her hands formed fists
"Ya can't blame me for having fun yo" he said it with pleasure
"Fun?…fun?…is your dick that small that you need to pick on the defenseless for kicks" as she said that his smile went away.
He quickly grabbed her and pulled her extremely close to himself. She felt his disgusting breath on her neck. He asks "Do you wanna see it baby?". Feeling the pressure build up into her stomach, Sarah kicks him in the shin and quickly runs back and holds a hand to her mouth. The guy holds his leg and screams in pain at what just happened. After a few seconds of this he pulls himself from his leg and looks at the girl angrily
"You bitch!" he mumbled
"Great way to attract a girl" she drops her hand from her face as the feeling of throwing up subsided
"Like I want a bitch who's stuck on the dick of a loser like Z boy" he growled
This remark got to her "He's a million times more of man than you will ever be jackass!"
This always bugged her. Everyone will always think something of the two friends every time she got into a conflict. She never saw him in any form of romantic or sexual view.
"Yeah. He's not even the size of my pinky and you are trying to call him a MAN hahahaha. That pussy isn't even worth my time let alone comparing me to" he continued to laugh.
Before she could even react the bell to start class rung.
"Later bitch" he spat as he walked with his buddies to class
Knowing that she will have to deal with him tomorrow she let it go. Kicking and punching everything that got in her way as she stomped to class. The fact that she lost that argument weighed done her heart.
Hours later…
Sarah, her friend Rebecca, and a fellow classmate were all that was left in the classroom that held the cooking club. The girl gets up and says her good byes to the two remaining girls and leaves. This was the perfect opportunity for Rebecca to talk to her friend that seemed distant all day. Taking some of the dirty dishes to the sink, the petite curly haired brunette decides to break the ice. "So what's up girl?". The question fell on deaf ears. It was like the girl was on another planet staring blankly at the bowl directly in front of her. "HHHHEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO" the girl waved her hand in front of the red heads face hoping to get through. It did help, snapping her right out of the trance that she was in. Sarah looked over and apologized to her friend.
"He really got to you today huh" Rebecca said very concerned
"Yeah. Listen. Lets just clean this place up and head home" it killed her to just brush off her friend and unlike her to bottle up her emotions. But at this point she just wanted to go home and cry in her bed. Images of what happened before she came to the club started rushing back to her fast.
"Come on you little slut. This isn't fun if you don't at least try to fight back" a tall blonde said kicking another girl that's crying in pain on the floor.
"Let's just go Grace" another blonde spoke out as she finished touching up her make up.
"Fuck that. I haven't gotten my turn yet" yelled a tiny young teen with black long flowing hair.
The girl named Grace just let out an evil giggle and kicked the girl one more time. "Fine. Lets go"
Grabbing the bag that wasn't to far from her feet the blonde sees the popular girl dashing towards them. They all watched as she got her knees to help the poor girl who was beaten to a pulp. Not caring to stick around for any of the drama that comes with the girl, they walk off. "What did you whores do to her?" Sarah said in disgust
"Oh calm down princess. We just had to show her that she can't just walk around the school acting like she runs the place" said the leader of the three
"So that gives you the right to treat her like this?"
"Yes. You see that's how this world works. You beat the weak to survive and if you have no use for them then you throw them away. Simple don't ya think"
"What a sad way of looking at life"
"No. Your way of looking at life is sad. You think that everything will workout fine and that good will win. But as you can plainly see that its all just shit. You may keep the balance in this school…but once you leave it will be our turn to rule. And there will be no need to keep girls like her in our kingdom. Face it bitch…your grip on keeping this school holy is slowly slipping away" Grace then leaves with her followers right behind her. Sarah was left holding the beaten girl in her arms as she tried to cry out the pain that she was just put through.
The thought of this place being some sort of hell and how true the words that girl spoke had cut Sarah deep. All this time she thought she was doing good and keeping the evil at bay. But all she was doing was prolonging the pain. She said good bye to her friend and ran home, tears falling from her eyes…
Things aren't as clear as people want them to be. So this leads to up to the day of fate…more to come. You guys have gotten a feel of what goes on from day to day with Zion and Sarah. Although Zion didn't get that much of an eventful day as Sarah…but that's cause he already graduated from school lol. Read, Review and Send in your OCs. Also to the folks that did send…I'm waiting until the 1st to show the cast for each group. So sit tight ^-^
