Authors Note: So thank you for the review and the favorite story add EternalBlueRainbow. Plus a thanks to Anakin'sQueen for the story alert. I know this chapter is short. Sorry. Anyways I hope you love this chapter. It might be a little ooc for the Joker. Just a tad, but I worked hard to make it seem in character so if I didn't get it, please don't yell just tell me in a review and I'll try to work harder on it next time.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Joker or anybody from the Dark Knight. I do own Sophie though.
Chapter two: I wonder how he got his scars
His hair was a greenish color that was slightly beginning to come out, plus his hair was tangled and greasy. It seemed he didn't put too much time into his looks. She couldn't help but notice that he had a permanent smile. You could tell that his clothes were old due to how the purple colors were starting to fade. He looked like a loner, though something in his eyes showed anarchy. There was also something about him that just wanted to pull Sophie towards him. She didn't know what thought. 'Maybe it is the scars. Who knows?' Then you could tell that nobody would mess with him, maybe the braver ones, but they probably wouldn't live too long to tell the story.
She sighed as she looked out the window. A frown littered her face, the same one as yesterday and the days before that. If only she could have the smile that Jack has. Maybe she wouldn't be so serious all the time. She wasn't ever serious before the accident. She always had a smile on her face, and was always cheerful.
It was a hot Monday and she, like the eleven year old she was, was getting hungry for a creamy delight. An ice cream. She had the money to pay for it herself so she told her mom she was going to the store a block away and she left. It wasn't long before she could see the store in sight when a man came up to her. She tried to run but the man grabbed her shoulder and dragged her to the ally way. 'Why are you so cheerful? What's there to be so happy about in this world. Or this town?' By now she wanted to run but she couldn't because the man was blocking her way out. This only made him angry. He pulled out a knife and put it to the corners of her mouth. 'Cheerfulness deserves to die away with all other emotions.' Then he pulled it down and made a permanent frown.
Another sigh escaped her lips. That person got away with what he had done. He deserved punishment for that. They said there was no proof, or no motive. Then they said that she had made the whole thing up to cover up a suicide attempt, so they let him go. Ever since then she had lost all hope in the justice system. They didn't care. All they wanted was their money.
"Sit any were you want to," the teacher told Jack.
She knew he would most likely sit in the empty seat in the front of the classroom. Nobody sat back there with her. So with that fact in mind, she was surprised that he sat down beside her.
He looked up at her, two smiles on his face, the permanent one and his real one. She had a smile and a frown, her real one and her permanent frown.
"Hey," Sophie said.
"Well um, hello," he replied, licking the sides of his lips.
She smiled at him a little longer and then turned towards the front of the class. 'I wonder how he got his scars?' she wondered to herself, feeling a pair of eyes on her. She didn't care though. Sophie liked the attention from Jack.
Note: I know it's sort of slow but it's going to get better. Just tell me what you think of it, send in reviews. Yes like I said this chapter is short and I'm sorry. Plus like I said before, if you don't like the Joker so far just tell me.
