A small girl stood in a train station, her black hair put in pigtails. She wore a violet and black dress with little black stockings and black dress shoes. Her hands clung onto a rag doll she made herself. She was only eight and had a cruel family, her mother was a drunk and her father was always on constant affairs with women at his work. He barely ever came home, when he did he'd go straight into the shower and stay in his computer room. She turned away and went back to her home which was only a few blocks away. Silently going into the house and into the kitchen.
" Selene! Get your ass over here!" A womans voice slurred. Selene turned around to see her mother, she wore a black skimpy dress and her nice blonde hair was all in a tangle. Her eye make-up was running and she was holding a bottle of schnapps in one hand. Selene glared from under her long bangs, she set her doll down nicely and reached for a large butcher knife.
" Mommy, I don't like it when you drink." Selene said, approaching with the knife. Her mother dropped the bottle and it shattered. She stumbled back a little, staring at her daughter.
" You should clean your mess up, Mommy. Little pigs should be executed for being so dirty," Selene said, handing the knife to her mother."Maybe you should be useful and make dinner." She added and went over to her doll, picking it up. She looked at her confused mother and went up the stairs and into her empty room. The only things in her room was a lone blanket tossed into a corner with a pillow. Another corner was filled with broken toys and another had paper and coloring utensils. The wall nearest was covered in pictures. Picutres of a family she mourned for, but knew she'd never have.
Like all small children that grew up with a bad family, they would grow up to be outcasts. Selene was one of the many outcasts. She dropped out of High School at sixteen and lived with her only friend in a small apartment complex. She was more grown up and had an undecided mind. She always thought of killing or of suicide but never really did so, until the summer started...
" Selene, wake up!" A voice said from outside the door. Selene had not slept that night, too busy writing a story she had been working on since she was tweleve.
" I am awake, what do you want Teresa?" Selene asked, not opening the door. She glanced at the clock, it was almost ten. Obviously time for Teresa to beg her to go to a club or a rave. Teresa let herself in the dark room and glanced about it.
" Well my friends Tenna and Devi want us to go out for a quick bite to eat." Teresa said. Selene glanced at her, she opened to her mouth disagree but a stomach growl of agreeance came out. Teresa burst out into little giggles and held herself up on Selene's door. Selene hated Teresa when she was high, which was pretty much half the time. The other time she and Selene would have a few drinks when the night felt like celebration.
" Yeah, alright. Lets go." Selene said, getting up and putting on her black veleveteen coat.
" Oh and FYI don't mention anything about guys or dating around Devi. Her ex tried to kill her. Saying something like "mortalitizing the moment" or some crap like that." Teresa said, looking at selene as the went out the door. Selen stopped and sighed.
" I think the saying is "Immortalitizing the moment"." Selene said before continuing to walk down to the nearest diner. Selene went in adn Teresa waved back to two girls who were sitting at the booth. Selene sat down after Teresa did and stared at the table.
" Hi, nice to meet you Teresa's friend!" A peppy voice said. Selene flintched at the voice and gave a fake smile at her.
" My name is Selene Welkson. You must be Tenna." Selene said, grinning through an angry glare. Tenna giggled annoyingly and Selene gripped a fork busying herself. She heard Devi start speaking about her ex and got caught in her attention.
" Yeah, I mean he was nice and all but that whole about to kill me thing just freaked me out. I would have rathered going out with that guy who shit his pants."Devi said waving a fork around and talking with a half full mouth of food. Selene busted out laughing and everyone looked at her as she settled down.
" So what was his name, Devi?" Selene asked. Devi ate for a couple of minutes before responding.
" Johnny C. He goes by Nny in some cases. I'd be careful if I were you." Devi replied. Selene nodded and finished eating her swiss mushroom burger, cooked rare. She favored the bloodiness of the meat, it left true flavor rather than that propane crap.
Teresa and Selene left after paying half the bill. The decided to swing by a 24/7 for a Brainfreezy.
