Why did I have to move here why? My cousin Hilary is the most annoying person that could ever have been born. But its not like I have anywhere else to go.
My selfish parents had died and handed over all their money to debt collectors. They didn't love me and said I was a mistake for as long as I could remember. They sent me to the nastiest boarding school I have ever known…and I've been sent to a few in my time I could tell you. The only good thing they did for me was die. Well, I can at least have a bit of a rest from my past life now.
As you could probably tell, I'm not the nicest of people due to my…how did my aunt put it? 'Her traumatising and stressful life.' I wish I could say it wasn't true or over dramatic, but instead it was right on the money. I wondered if my life would change for the better now that I didn't have to fight for my life everyday in that school.
I was known as the girl with the heart of ice, I've never really liked talking to people so I just stay silent unless I have to say something. I made no friends and everyone avoided me due to my violent tendencies to anyone who pisses me off. I showed hardly any emotion on any scale and seemed completely blank most of the time.
Oh well, let's get on with my new life.
First stop was my cousin's school. There were no bars on the windows unlike my old school and held a pleasant atmosphere around it. "Come on, I'll show you to the office. You have to fill in a form before you can go to class." I sighed. My cousin, the perfect little goody two shoes as always. "I wish you wouldn't wear so much black."
"Ancient proverb, mind your business." But she did have a point. My clothes were anything but colourful but I couldn't care less.
I took to wearing black all over so no one could see the bloodstains I collected over the years. I had a long, black leather coat that reached my ankles; my t-shirt, jeans, fingerless gloves and trainers were also black. Even my under wear was black. But the most prominent feature was my hat. 'It makes you look like a cowgirl.' My cousin would say over and over again. If you've ever seen Nightmare on Elm street; my hat actually looks like Freddy's.
We reached the office and Hilary insisted on staying with me. I filled out the form and thankfully found out that I was only in two of my lessons with Hilary a week. She seemed disappointed but I was very relieved without managing to show it. Any more lessons with Hilary than that and I would've probably committed suicide. (I'm being serious, she's too annoying just to be with let alone learning in the same lesson as her.)
Hilary showed me to my first lesson and I stepped in. "You're late." The teacher was a tall chubby man with a bald patch and green-rimmed glasses. His voice was posh and didn't sound happy at all with being disturbed. "I'm new sir." He didn't seem to care whether I was new or not and glared at me. "Hmm… oh yes, you're Ebony Hokinowa. Well hurry up and take a seat girl."
KAI
I watched this new girl roll her eyes looking annoyed. She was slender and her clothes made out her every curve when she took off her coat. "Yee hah!" Tala cried and the class laughed. Ebony glared at him as he smiled at her. She sat down and did her work. By the end of class she looked very annoyed and Tala hadn't finished his fun. "Hey cowgirl." I sighed wandering if I should say I didn't know him. Ebony stopped and turned to us. She raised a balled fist and stuck her middle finger up as cocked her head. "Yippee kaiyay mother fucker." The students around us laughed and she walked off.
Ebony was nothing like the other girls who worried about how they looked. She just came as she was, and if no one liked it then she couldn't careless. "You don't meet a girl like that everyday." Tala smirked. "Do you think she's a goth?" I shrugged as we went outside for break.
Hilary was walking around and appeared to be looking for something…or someone. "Have you seen Ebony?" We shook our heads and she sighed. "Well if you do can you please tell her to meet me by the main gate before her next class." Tala and I looked at each other before nodding. "Thanks!" Hilary smiled and ran towards the main gate.
We didn't see Ebony through most of the break. It was only until we looked above us did we see her black coat hanging from the branches. "Cowgirl?" She jumped down and winded Tala. He bent over and she grabbed him by the throat and pinned him against the tree. "Call me that again and I'll rip your throat out. Do you understand that comedian? Or would you like me to demonstrate?" Tala gasped as her grip grew stronger.
EBONY
I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I looked over to him and raised an eyebrow. "Yes?" I said with irritation hanging on my every word. "Let him go."
"Is this sack of shit your friend then?" He nodded and I growled. "He tries to be funny again and I won't hold back."
"I don't expect you to, he is pretty annoying." I looked curiously at this boy who seemed to agree with me. "Reverse psychology? You've gotta be kidding me if you think that's gonna work." He smirked and shrugged his shoulders. I turned back to Tala and looked him straight in the eye. "Anymore of this cow girl shit comes out of your mouth, you'd better be running." He was quick to nod as best he could so I let him go. He coughed and spluttered as he moved beside Kai.
"I'm-" I held up a hand and shook my head. "I know who you are, I do watch beyblade sports updates."
"You…cough…blade?" Tala asked getting his breath back. I nodded and he looked at me in disbelief. "Never heard of a girl blading before or something?" He shrugged and walked away. Kai on the other hand wasn't so quick to leave. "Hilary asked us to tell you to meet her by the main gate."
"And that would be?" He pointed towards the biggest gate and I could see Hilary waiting for me. "She probably wants to ask me how my first lesson went. I've only been here for an hour and she's already getting on my nerves."
"Already?" I sighed and shook my head. "Never mind."
I was wrong, Hilary didn't want to know how my first lesson went. She heard of what I did in the corridor. "You can't go around swearing like that." She ranted. I listened for a quarter of an hour of how I should speak in school. I just leaned against the wall with my arms crossed and eyes closed. I liked being able to block out annoying people like my cousin. It was a great trick I learned. You just close your eyes and clear your mind thinking about nothing in particular.
The rest of the day was boring and I waited patiently for the day to end. Kai and Tala were in most of my lessons, but thankfully didn't say anything else to me that day. I was grateful that today was a Friday. For tomorrow I didn't have any school and would be free to do as I wished.
