Reach for the Stars
Chapter 5
*Present*
A little later Star came out behind a short guy who was rambling on and on about how
she wasn't a bad person. She rolled her eyes and drug behind her, her two bags. In her hand she
held 2 orange jump-suits and a pair of boots. Around her neck hung a canteen that said Barfbag.
The funny little dude who had told her his name had something to do with dancing keys
lead her over to the roup of boys she had seen earlier. The one with the hair was still mumbling
about strange things.
"Boys ths is Star. She will be in your tent. I expect you to treat her with respect. Theodore
I would like you to show Star around." Dancing Keys turned and walked away leaving Star to
face a group of guys with dirty faces staring back at her.
A kid with glasses stepped forward. "Well." he said breaking the silence except for the
kid who had been mumbling the whole entire time. He held out his hand "the names X-Ray this
here is Armpit, Squid, Magnet, Zero, and the one mumbling over there is ZigZag.
Star gave them a forced smile. Star hadn't smiled in a long time. She then turned a
questioning look towards ZigZag. "Nymph, Psamathe, seductive, playful, bad, bad, bad." He said
this time a little clearer.
Magnet laughed . "Oh I get it. Greek Mythology. Nymphs were, according to the Greeks
playful seductive young women who lived in forests, water and other parts of mature. Kind of
like fairies but yet different. Psamathe was the sand goddess. Kind of fitting if you ask me."
Magnet smiled at Star.
Armpit shook his head. "Naw, I was thinking she looked more like Tinkerbell, or even
one of those funny Irish people who run around with pots of gold." The group laughed but
stopped when they heard a small voice.
"Irish Fairy." Star looked and noticed it was a small boy with fluffy hair. "Her name
should be Irish Fairy."
*Flashback*
Star held onto Stephanie as the young girl buried her face into her shoulder and cried.
Standing up off the cold wet ground Star held Steph tighter as the girl wrapped her arms around
her neck and legs around the thin 15 year old girls waist.
Star stroked her sister's hair as she took one more look at the ground. The small six foot
deep hole gapped at her, seeming as if it was trying to taunt her. The rain ran in streams over the
cool gray stone that read.

Turning away Star walked up the dirty streets. Back towards the crowded apartment.
Back to their abusive father. Back to memories of the sister they would never see again. Sobs
shook Stephanie's small body and it near killed Star. One so small shouldn't have to deal with so
much pain. So much loss.
Star climbed the stairs toward her apartment slowly. Her heart heavy. One more person
she lost now added to the list.
