HANDICAPPED FREAK

(KATE'S POV)

God, I really have to go to school. I hope kids here don't mind me not having an arm working. Okay, whatever. I think I'm just over thinking, that's it. Dad hadn't yet left for work when I was dressing up instead he made my breakfast today. You know, La Push is really changing him. With this speed, I feel he might one day forgive me for the whole accident thing although I won't myself but I think he would.

"Kate! Cora's waiting for you." Dad yelled from downstairs.

"I'll be there in a few…" I said when all of a sudden, I received an SMS.

ALL THE BEST FOR THE FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

Well, it's Cole BTW…I mean Collin Littlesea.

It was kind of weird but I just left the thought and ran downstairs. I had worn my lucky anklet that had been mom's once. I knew I would need it to adjust in new surroundings and whenever I didn't something wrong was sure to happen. It would be my senior after all, so I think things should be fine so that I remember atleast one year of my school life happily which I never do because ever since I've been started going to school some or the other crazy accident does takes place on my first day. Cora was having a nice, healthy conversation with my dad when I went there. Of course, I just grabbed my pancakes and Cora hauled me all the way to the car and dad strangely did come out to leave me.

"Kate, be careful." Well, he knows about my every first day experience.

"Um…yeah, thanks dad." I muttered.

"Uh, wait. I have already put some money in your bag in case you need it." Dad said.

"Yeah, thanks again." I said.

"Bye, Mr. Cooper." She said and turned on the engine.

"So, how're ya feelin'?" she asked me to break the silence.

"Well, honestly, a bit nervous." I admitted.

"Don't be. You're gonna be the best at school." She answered.

Well, first of all, she showed me all the way to the reception so that I could have my timetable. Fortunately, it mostly matched with her. We went all the way to the lockers and ours were a bit apart from each other but she said it was fine as long as Andrea Blue stayed away from me. I wonder who this Andrea is even if she is supposed to be the one who can possibly hurt me. Maybe, Cora is being just too…overprotective.

Oops, bell has gone. My first is supposed to be Chemistry. Things went as normally as they used to go in other schools, like: everyone staring at you when you enter the class, then the professor introduces you to the class and you go to sit with someone who doesn't have a partner and that's it. He starts the lecture. I thought the girl next to me, who seems to be uncomfortable with me here and especially with my left hand in my pocket, would ask me about myself but she keeps her head in her business. That's quite fine. Then, all of a sudden my sight fell on her bracelet which had this name in blue. Andrea.

Just my luck that I ended up with the one Cora doesn't want me near. I didn't talk, as a matter of fact, I don't even do it that much. I just kept my mouth shut and buried my brain in the book and listened when all of a sudden, we had to do this experiment thingy. Andrea seemed way too annoyed with me being her chemistry partner now. You know, she was way too glamorous than annoyed, just like the girls you would watch in pretty little liars and kind of shows

"Hey, dumb ball, know something about chemistry?" I heard her say. "Whoa, talking to you Martian."

"Um…yeah. Yeah, I guess, I do." I answered. C'mon, I've always been a science straight A.

"Whatever. Look, you wanna stay my chemistry partner, you've gotta do the homework." She paused as I stared at her face. "And the experiments."

"Excuse me?!" I asked looking straight into her face with a challenging look.

"Get that properly." She said. She sat easily while I messed up with the stupid test-tubes with one arm. "Why ain't you using the other useless arm?"

"Well, it doesn't work." I muttered.

"Don't mumble. I don't understand a word you say." She complained.

"Well, Ms. Blue, I would tell you that doing some experiments won't rub off that manicure you had a few days ago." Mr. Darwin, our professor, said.

"Mr. D, she said she wants to do it so I let her do it." She said and I glared at her and my lips, I felt, had turned into a small circle.

"Do it, Andrea." He commanded. I looked into her eyes and did something that I had never done since past four years. I know it might've been stupid to believe in it and if I told someone, they would just laugh at me and that's why I hate to believe I can do it. I persuaded her. I just looked into her eyes and repeated these phrases in my brain. Please, stop bullying me, please?

"I won't bully you." She murmured robotically. God, I hate it when something happens like this but it usually turns me a bit dazed when I do it. I immersed my fingers in my hair and fortunately, the bell went off. I went out as fast as I could and flew straight to my locker to search an aspirin because I needed it too badly.

"Kate, you okay?" Cora came up when I had just gulped it in.

"Um…yeah. I'm…perfect." I stuttered.

"Okay, whatever. Man, I'm missing Brady too much. You know, I used to run into him after every class." She sighed off into my brother's dreams. I smiled. "God, I forgot to ask. You didn't meet Andrea, did you? How was your class?"

Bummer, I wanted to say but I didn't.

"About that, uh, yeah, sort of." I said.

"No freaking way."

"Well, I just came to know from my stepdad that you" Andrea blasted in from somewhere and pointed to me, "are handicapped."

"Who…" I was saying when Cora whispered to me: "Prof. Darwin."

"Well, she's not handicapped, if you wanna know for your kind info. And just stay away from her, okay?" Cora defended me.

"Why? Is she your little kid you had with that boyfriend of yours? Whatshisname?" Andrea said.

"Look, I can defend myself and yeah, he's Brady FYI. Why can't we just burry it in?" I asked innocently.

"Whatever and yeah, I don't want you doing any homework for me. Who knows what you do with it?" she said and went away.

Weird.

I didn't really get why Cora wanted me just as away as I could be from her. I know she cares for me and all but I am independent.

As more classes ended, I realized why Cora wanted me away from her. I really did. She was picking on me every now and then. In the recess, she even dropped her chili on my jacket. I had to put it in my locker and put my hand in the pocket of my jeans. Cora introduced me to some other friends and two of which looked exactly the same steroid-ish like Brady and Cole. They were Ian and Aiden and there was a girl with them: Ally.

"I still don't get why your brother dated that bitch." Ally said to Cora.

"Cole dated her?" I spat out. I don't know why, but I felt, I don't know. It was a strange feeling.

"Why? What's so bad about her?" Aiden said nibbling at a piece of carrot.

"Should I kill you, Aiden?" Ally went all the way furious.

"Guys, guys, can we just end the topic?" Ian asked. Finally someone was like me.

Anyway, when school ended and Cora and I were walking out to her car down the outside stairs, someone pushed me down and I slipped.

"Kate!" Cora exclaimed but was late to get hold of me or anything and I closed my eyes. I thought I might be breaking my head today but I fell into a strong wall which didn't actually hurt me, instead saved me.

"Jeez, Andrea. What's your problem?" this warm voice belonged to the one and only Collin Littlesea.

"Whatever." She flicked her long blond hair and went away. Collin helped me straighten back.

"Um…thanks." I said uncertainly.

"Don't mind her. She's a walked-off brain." He told me.

"Is she okay?" Cora asked.

"Perfect, as usual." I muttered.

"She's picking on her since the second she saw her. You go and talk to her!" Cora ordered him.

"No, it's…it's okay. You don't need to talk to her. Let it go." I stopped him by pulling his arm because he was just ready to shoot off.

"Oh yeah, who does she think she is? Princess of somewhere?" he spat on the ground and was shaking badly.

"You fine?" I asked him and he stopped.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm good." He muttered. "By the way, there's your uncle Ricky at your place. I thought it'd be better if I told you so that Cora doesn't haul you off to shopping. She usually does that."

"Uncle Ricky's there?" I asked excitedly.

"Yeah." He answered. "And your dad gave me this list. He wants us to get it."

"Oh….'kay." I said.

"So, you guys go. I'll be going to my culinary classes." Cora said and she practically ran off.

I went after him and sat in the car. He started the engine and the local FM channel was playing some soft songs. I laid my head on the cold window side and smiled. I liked those kinds of songs.

"Want me to change the channel?" he asked me.

"No, not at all, please." I answered.

"As you say." He said and pulled in front of a different supermarket. I had no idea where it had come from. "Let's go and shop."

"Okay." I answered and got out.

(COLLIN'S POV)

"Cole, you think you know her but you don't." Cora scolded me.

"I know her, 'kay? Her favorite color is yellow." I said as a proof.

"Bing! Wrong again. It's orange." She said. "Look, if you wanna come closer to her, you gotta know her better. Just observe her and see what she sees and smiles. That would be helpful."

"Like what?"

"Well, if she stares at a dress too long, means that she likes it. If she stares at some food for more than ten seconds means that you've gotta buy her that. When she Smiles seeing something, means she wants it." She said. "And you know she sometimes isn't the kind of girl who smiles because she's happy, but because she is hiding her pain."

I had been replaying this when we entered the supermarket. She took the list from me and I followed her. She'd been normal or maybe more cheerful since the second I told her about her uncle Ricky. So how do I really make out what she likes?

Okay, great. Let's see. Maybe, she might say it herself.

"Collin?" she just called me.

"Yep? And yeah, don't call me Collin. Cole's okay. You were saying?"

"Could you just go and find me peanut butter?" she said. I'm not so lucky anyway.

Well, you know, I'm not so lucky at all. My ex met her and I swear she would want to kill her. Now, it's just me who could sort it out but she doesn't want me talking to her. Now, that's called a mess but let's just not think about it. I'm happy she doesn't hate me that much anymore.

(KATE'S POV)

When we entered the house, I saw dad really laughing after a long-long time and yeah, it was Uncle Ricky with whom he was laughing.

"Hey, Kitty-Kat?" Uncle Ricky came to hug me.

"I missed you, Uncle Ricky." I said.

"I too, honey." He ruffled my hair. "Who's this by the way?" Uncle Ricky looked at me with an is-this-your-boyfriend look.

"Um…he's Collin Littlesea, Kevin Littlesea's son." I answered.

"No way, the one you used to fight with all the time?"

"Guilty." Cole said.

"Oh, I got you a play-station, latest of the series. Guess what? There's a tennis videogame in it." He said. I froze for a second. I didn't really want to play tennis anymore. It hurts now because it reminds me everything of the past.

"I'll be back. Got some chili on my jacket." I ran upstairs.

"Kate, uncle Ricky and I are gonna go and grab a drink." Dad called.

"Uh, okay." I replied.

As soon as I opened the old albums with me in my tennis uniform, I heard some noises from downstairs. I went down and saw that Cole was trying to play with the play-station.

"What're ya doing?" I asked him.

"Trying to play tennis, you see." He replied.

"Dude, you don't even know how to hold it properly." I said and helped him hold it properly.

"Well, okay. You're gonna be the one teaching me, deal?" he asked.

"What do I get in return? No, wait, if I teach you, you'll tell me what you were searching using my Wi-Fi last night."

"Okay, let's just make it a one-point questionnaire. What about it?"

"You're gonna lose anyway." I said.

"Let's see." He challenged.

He lost the first point.

"So what were you doing with my Wi-Fi?" I asked.

"I was searching some physiotherapists, uh, and Dr. Burns reviews."

"Hmm…. But why?" I questioned.

"It was just one question, wasn't it?" he said and without me taking a notice.

"Hey, that's so not fair." I complained.

"First crush or love interest?" he put up.

"But you cheated!" I protested.

"I need my answer." He said.

"Okay, well, I really didn't take so much notice of guys around me. No one exactly." I answered.

Next one, by luck, was mine. Truly saying it was a bit hard to get.

"Why did you break up with Andrea?"

"How does that concern you?"

"Well, just like my whole crush thing concerns you." I answered.

"Well, she was sort of, uh, cheating on me." He replied.

"With whom?" I asked, a bit eagerly.

"Wait for the next point first." He said.

So far, he won three matches because I was playing with my right arm being a lefty. I couldn't win to a non-player like him. I came to know that it was some guy named- Kyle and he asked me questions basically about me and my life.

"Was a nice game, no?" he asked me as he fell tired on the couch after 14 games. He now won 8 and I won 6 with my right arm.

"I wish I could just use my left one. I would've kicked your butt too bad then."

"Lucky me!" he said and I laughed. "But seriously, you never fell for even one person?"

"Nope, I lack in romance." I answered.

"Hmm…too bad then, I guess. I've had 2 girlfriends but never got in the bed with anyone."

"Ew! Seriously, Cole?"

"What? I am telling you the truth. I've kissed just one of them and that even once. I think even I'm not good in the whole romance business."

"Now about that, you've gotta be kidding me."

"I'm real serious. It's kinda weird. I know that but I'm not good in that fort which could be the reason that why she wanted to go to someone else."

"Dude, you're deep." I never understand why I could never get to know him. He isn't as bad as I thought. I mean seriously. He isn't that mean to me anymore.

AN: Hope u leave me a review and not hate me?
