Piper

This is what happens when she hits the snooze button!

This always seems to happen to Piper McAllister. Every morning the alarm clock would wake her up and she would slam down on the snooze button for more time to sleep. Her parent's were off at work before she had to get up, so she didn't have them to yell and scream at her to wake up. In all honesty, that was relief because that would have surely ruined her day. It was easy to aggravate her, and people acting up towards her or just being plain rude always did the trick. Especially if you're just out to piss her off.

Staring at her own reflection, she took a minute or two, to apply eyeliner to the bottom of her eyes to the corners. It always brought out her reddish eyes. Her mother said that they often reminded her of the color of bricks. That always peeved her a little bit. All throughout elementary school kids would sometimes refer to her as a demon because her reddish eye color. It didn't help that their older siblings liked to fill their heads with scary stories about people with 'red' eyes. She brought it up to the teacher once, but all she did was tell them to consider the feelings of others. In other words, the teasing still went on.

The memory of that brought a frown to her cherry lips. Setting down the eyeliner, she picked up a brush that sat beside the sink. She stared at her reflection as she brushed all the tangles out of her bright burgundy hair. Her mother would tell her that her hair was a good way to describe her personality. She was introverted but had a fiery personality when it called for it. She would also say that she was lucky to have a friend to mellow her out before she got herself into trouble.

Words like that always pissed her off the most. She didn't understand why her parents doubted her ability to control her temper on her own. But.. The more she thought about it, if she didn't have Midna, Dillon, or Gaige she probably would have murdered someone. Okay, huge exaggeration.. But she would get into trouble for verbally assaulting someone or decking them in the face. She was shy to a certain degree, it was just when she's angered that she becomes more open.. If she feels that she can't keep it inside.

Fixing the yellow tie that went with her school uniform, she turned to look into the body length mirror. Looking at her reflection, she nodded her approval. She never did like dressing in just her uniform, so she wore her fingerless gloves on both arms that went up to her elbows with straps that went along the top: on the end of it was also a black ribbon tied into a bow. She hated the short, red, plaid skirt that the school required for the girls to wear. It was ridiculous. At one point, Piper seriously wanted to start a petition so that girls could have uniforms that come with pants. Skirts made it like the girls were just asking to be molested. If anyone was actually molested, the school should be sued for over-exposure of their students.

Yeah, that would go REAL well.

She'd probably be hated by a majority of the male population at East Hartford High School.

Oh well, when did she ever live to please them?

It was only ten minute walk from her house to the school. Almost every morning she would normally meet with her friends at the willow tree, near the school entrance. When she got to the willow tree, they weren't there since school was already in session. A soft sigh slipped from her lips as she looked at the time on her cellular phone. It was a quarter after eight. School started at seven o' clock. Damn, she missed her first hour.

She didn't really like Algebra anyway...

While she had her phone out, she texted Midna and Dillon and Gaige that she ran a little late and that she would see them in third hour. None of her friends had second hour with her. She wished they did, since it would make Government a little more entertaining. By the time she got into the building, the tardy bell rang for second hour. She went to the office to pick up a late pass and then headed for her Government class.

"Look whose here. Sleep in?"

The voice belonged to Professor Xemnas.

"Yeah... Sorry." Came Piper's shy reply as she quickly made her way to her desk. Not wanting to be questioned further by the teacher. When she sat down, she got her notebook out to take notes on the information on the board. She heard something that sounded like a pencil lead snapping from being pressed down too hard. She didn't look to see where the sound came from, so instead she focused on her work.

"Hey, Red-"

It was Roxas Fair.

Poke.

"Piper was it? Can I borrow a pencil for a-"

"Shut up. Leave me alone." She snapped before he could even finish, making Roxas cautiously pull his hand back to his lap. His expression looked as if he was afraid she'd snap his hand off if he didn't.

"Uh.. Heh. Sorry?"

All he got out of her was a small grunt in reply. She didn't even look up to see who asked her.

"Here you go Roxas!"

Xion walked past Piper's desk to hand it to Roxas with a bright smile that Piper wanted to punch off her face. They never got along. She was one of the people who helped make Elementary school a nightmare. The girl used to have long obsidian hair, but cut it boyishly short over the summer. It seemed a lot of girls enjoyed that hairdo nowadays. Roxas smiled up at Xion and took the pencil from her.

"Hey, thanks..."

"You should avoid asking her for anything. She won't talk to anyone."

"Maybe she's misunderstood?"

"Misunderstood? She bit Riku and drew blood. She should be in a cage." Xion told him matter-of-factly, leaning up against his desk.

"Self-defense? Riku could have-"

Roxas was interrupted by Piper.

"Hey, Xion, better get away from my desk before I give you rabies."

Roxas pushes his chair back slowly , with his hands raised in surrender, before looking at Xion. "I'm good!I'd rather not get in the crossfire."

Xion gave him a look before looking to Piper. "You should get a muzzle. I don't know why the school let you in." She growled out, inching towards Piper's desk.

That got a reaction out of Piper. She slammed her fist down on her desk before standing up, abruptly turning to Xion. A smirk pulled on her cherry lips when she noticed the height difference between them. Piper was taller by a few inches.

"A muzzle can't stop me from doing this."

After that was said, Piper slammed a fist in Xion's face.

"Hey! Stop it, right now!" Professor Xemnas yelled out.

The impact made Xion stumble back into Demyx's desk, who was trying to sleep through class. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Someone's trying to sleep!" Demyx growled sleepily before taking in what was actually happening. When he did, his eyes widened and quickly got up out of his desk. "Holy shit!" He exclaimed as some of the other classmates stood up to see Xion try to claw at Piper's face. Just when Piper grabbed her pencil and lifted it, Roxas got in between them, facing Piper with hands up.

"Hey, stop it, it's... Ouch!"

He didn't get a chance to try and talk Piper into calming down. Instead, he got stabbed by a pencil. Today just wasn't his day. He was glad that the uniforms required him to wear a jacket, otherwise the sharp end of the pencil would have pierced his skin. His wide blue eyes met with Piper's narrowed, auburn ones. The teacher bustled over and grabbed Piper by the arm.

"Office. Now! I won't tolerate violence in this classroom!" Xemnas growled.

"Going." She said in a dull tone, ripping her arm from his grip and storming out the classroom door.

"Alright, class, settle down."

It took a while for the class to stop conversing about the fight that had just occurred between Xion and Piper. Xemnas looked to Roxas, "Roxas, you and Xion are excused to go to the nurse's office." He offered as he moved to sit back down behind his desk.

Roxas shook his head a bit, "No. I'm fine." He insisted quietly before sitting back down in his seat, but Xion only nodded and left for the nurse's station.

"I'm ready for lunch to get here." Demyx murmured sullenly before burying his head to try and continue his slumber.

Evelyn: Whoo! This was kind of fun to write. ^^ Piper is one of my OC's so I hope she wasn't too much. This is only the second time I've ever written a story with an OC. So, what did you think of her so far? Review? Pretty Please? Feedback would be awesome!
