Chapter 4

Sin's eyes went wide as she walked out the door. "Wha.what's this?!" He said staring at a new shiny bike with a large red ribbon tied around it.

"I talked to your dad last night on the phone and said it was your birthday today."

"It is? Oh.heh heh. No one ever really told me when my birthday was, only how old I was. Hey! Today's May the 4th! That's right. I remember now! Oh thank you so much!" She jumped up and hugged him.

"It was no problem. I thought you could use a transportation device of some sort. I tried to make you one, but it didn't turn out as well as I thought it would." He looked over at the garbage cans and saw a whole bunch of metal pieces.

"Oh thank you so much.words can't say how thankful I am."

"Oh I can tell by the tone of your voice. Anyways, let's ride to school. I have my bike in the shed in the backyard. Be right back!" He yelled running to the back of the house - oops I mean mansion.

Sin went to the garbage cans and looked inside. All the metal pieces reminded her of how lucky she was. She thought about how much effort he put in to take care of her, and all the word work he did. She picked out a small piece of metal and put it in her pocket. She then looked deeper into the garbage and saw paper that was all crumpled into a ball. She took it out and read it:
Full Name: Sin Mandi Heivtel
Anagram: Sin "I am the devil"
Age: 15
D.O.B. May 4th/1988
Occupation: Unemployed
Notes: Beware of the curse. 'What the hell?' Sin thought. 'Why would he have my information? How did he get it? And how did he know I'm under some kind of curse?' She stuffed that in her pocket as well. 'Crap, he might be coming back.' She ran back to the bike and awed it like she never left the spot. Aaron came around from the back and hopped on his bike. "C'mon let's go Sin!" He said happily.

Thank god Sin was a good actress because she had to get out of his one somehow. "Coming!" She took off the bow and rode the bike to the garbage can again. "You don't mind me throwing this out do you?"

"Nope, not at all!" Aaron came up to her on his bike and rode around her.

She threw the bow out and thought of an idea. She'd sneak out at night and look though it again too see if anything else was there. It was a daring plan, but it was going to be worth it.

They whistled, they cheered, they "ow"ed, and they watched as Sin walked down the hallway. Aaron followed her.

'They don't even notice who I am.' Sin thought to herself. She giggled.

The morning was a lot different from any other day. Sin got a new locker beside Aaron's new locker - since Sin was his only friend at the time. She got new a seating plan as well. In every class she sat beside Aaron. She also wasn't in the corner anymore; she was always right in the middle or front of the class. Her teachers respected her, her classmates respected her, and even Katrina respected her.

"Hey, I wonder why loser never came to school today." Katrina said, who sat behind Sin in Social Studies. Their teacher, Mrs. Clackers, wasn't there that day, so a substitute was there. Everyone was playing "Sink the Sub" (A game played by students when a substitute teacher was in. They try and get the substitute to go nuts, break down and cry or run out of the classroom).

Sin's eyes wandered. She knew she was talking about her.

"Who knows, and who cares." Matt said with his arm around her.

Sin looked back at them. "Umm.excuse me.but may I ask who you called 'loser'?"

Katrina looked at her. "Some retarded evil kid named Sin. She always comes to school. But she never did today. She's probably cooking up some evil plan to wipe out the school or cooking up Mrs. Clackers." She giggled and Matt smiled shaking his head.

The sensation to kill Katrina burned inside Sin's body - but now wasn't the time for it. She was a new person now. Not Sin.

"Yeah, she makes weird things happen. She's going to kill us all one day, or maybe even herself. Hell. For that matter, she doesn't even need to physically kill herself, all she really needs to do is look in a mirror."

The whole class howled with laughter as the substitute tried to shut everyone up. She got so mad she ran out the class screaming and pulling her hair.

She stared at Katrina with anger and agony in her eyes.

"You.you have the exact same.same stare as.OH MY GOD! THE NEW GIRL IS SIN!"

Everyone stared at Sin.

She stood up and pushed the chair far away with her legs. "Ok, maybe I am? So what? Now whatcha gonna do, kick my ass in the middle of class? Oh, so now that someone has good looks you respect them, but when someone may not have a lot of money or good looks you pick on them? How pathetic. Aaron here, at least had the loyalty to care for me. He got to know who was on the inside, not just what was shown on the outside. When I first met him, I was the pale-face, black-eyed, biotch you see me as today. But now, after spending a weekend with him, I lost all that. Because I'm happy. I finally figured out that there is a real person in this world that actually does care. Unlike all of you."

The class stared blankly.

No one had anything to say.
