'All together now, last night I had… the strangest dream I ever dreamt before!' the music teacher mouthed as the rest of the class sang. It took all my willpower not the squelch my ears against the horrible noise that they were making, this wasn't singing! This was torturing!
The teacher sighed. 'I guess… let's try singing apart. Hm… Chloe? Can you try singing?'
Chloe sang. Oh, it was awful. Her normally high pitched voice was even squeakier when singing. Ok… maybe I thought it that bad because I hated her but still! It was quite bad… hehe.
'Cryssie, you try singing.' I smiled to myself. Here's my chance to show the world what I'm really good at and prove those who doubted me wrong. Haha, that's quite a nice speech I had there.
I opened my mouth… and sang. 'Last night I had... the strangest dream I ever meant before!' I stopped. Actually it was because I couldn't remember the rest of it but that didn't matter, I knew I could sing. Yeah yeah, I'm boasting. But I love to sing, I really do. It's something that I can do that's right and makes me happy.
I looked around me. Nothing really astounding, a couple of people were looking and the teacher was putting me down on her list but there were people who were giving very jealous looks. I couldn't help but look at Kai. He was in the corner with his eyes closed. I sighed, there's something seriously wrong with that guy. It's unhealthy not socializing with people as much as he does.
-----
I groaned as I looked down on my plate. The food here was bad… mushy plop? Ew, that really can't be classified as food. I sighed as I looked around. There were definitely social groups here. I do hate those trashy rules in high school. I sighed. I better get used to life at this high school. Though it's gonna be hard.
I scanned the room and spotted Jo sitting down at a table, sticking polo's on her eyes. I raised my eyebrows and then shook my head and laughed, half closing my eyes. I walked over to her conscience how almost everyone on that table was doing something stupid or the other, let it be throwing crisps or squashing bananas on people's foreheads. Hey, at least I'll have fun here, I thought to myself.
Jo snorted as her polo's fell and looked over at me. 'Hey, people this is Cryssie,' she shouted down the table, 'Cryssie this is Ray,' the dark haired guy who has in the middle of a tongue wrestle with the pink haired girl, 'Mariah, his girlfriend who he's always sexually active with,' she laughed as half an eaten chip was thrown at her. They stopped kissing and turned around to look at me. 'You've met Marcus and people and there's Enrique and Robert over there with Auristica, who's also known as Auri. Kai's hanging around with Tala and people but Tyson and Max are in the queue getting food with Miriam.'
They all looked at me and I shuffled my feet uncomfortable. I don't really like people looking at me… actually I don't like attention much full stop. I ran my thoughts down my attire. I wore a grey shirt that was plain but came halfway down my thighs (which is good) and baggy blue jeans that I stitched Metallica and Red Hot Chili patches all over. My converse had neon green lace on one side and bright pink lace on the other side. I had my green beaded bracelet on and necklace with a skull on. I hung my head forewords slightly so my face was covered slightly by my dark hair.
Mariah broke the awkward silence. 'Heya!' she said happily, 'come sit down' she motioned towards a chair at near the end of the table next to Enrique. I glanced at him, taking in his baby blue eyes and blond hair and listened to them talk, dropping a few comments of my on from time to time.
I looked at Auri a few times. Her face had white powder on it and it looked quite drawn. Her eyes were heavily outlined and hair dyed black and her clothes were strange and kinda ripped but it didn't look bad. Her whole figure screamed 'GOTH!' at people and she seemed unapproachable. I shuddered; I couldn't help feeling that she didn't like me.
Later on we went outside and sat on the grass where I got to talk to Mariah again.
'So you've been here before huh?' she murmured to me as we laid down and enjoyed the sunshine.
'Yeah, that was just for a month or summin. I don't think you would've noticed me much; I tended to keep a low profile.'
She shook her bubblegum pink hair, 'No I think I saw you before,' she glanced over at me, 'when you punched Tala.'
I laughed, 'yeah, he gets annoying. What do you think about him?'
'He's very popular despite the less friendly side of him that you saw. He's a bit of a player though. As are most of his friends.' She looked at me again. 'He went with Auri, fooled around with her for a while and then left her. Now she's gone very weird. Kai tried to talk to him but he just doesn't get how much pain his actions can afflict on someone.'
I didn't say anything for a while. 'I don't get that Kai character. He is Tala's best friend right? Why does he seem so… fucking cold!'
She didn't say anything for a while too. 'Nobody knows much about him. I have to say that I never really liked him before. He doesn't really date but when he does he's worse then Tala. I don't think that any girl should mix up with him. Oh, and he's fucking rich. He's dad runs this huge company and he's going to inherit this enormous fortune.'
I nodded slowly. 'What about Auri? She doesn't seem so… good.'
She laughed. 'I know what you think of her. You think she's a stuck up bitch and hates you right?' I grimaced at her as my affirmative. 'She's alright. After she and Tala split she got on weed and now she's kinda cracked. She's alright but blunt. If there was summin she didn't like about you, she would come straight out with it and tell you. She's like that.'
I pulled a face. So she went on drugs… I didn't like that. I know that there were probably plenty of people in the school who do it but it didn't make it right. And frankly, I still thought she was a stuck up bitch. The bell rung and then me, Jo, Mariah and Miriam made our way to science, laughing at Mr Cowen's hair which was actually a wig.

I stared at the teacher. 'You must be freakin' mental.' Only I didn't say freakin'. He looked at me disapprovingly.
'Cryssie, that isn't appropriate language.'
I snapped at him. 'Stuff that!' He flinched.
'Detention.'
Can't, I've already got one.'
'Tomorrow then.' I sighed.
'Does that mean I still have to work with him?' He sighed.
'Yes.' I plonked my bag down on the floor and threw my books on the table. They landed with a satisfying ' bang.' I had to work with Kai Hiwatari. Great. Not like he's not nice, he's better then Tala by miles, it's just that I hate to have to work with him. Understatement of the year. Detested. That's how strongly I feel.
'Welcome to hell.' Kai informed me.
'And I thought I was already there.' I murmured. Well, I did think I already was. The rest of the lesson went a flash. We had homework and it was to discuss that days work with your partner and write an essay on it. I rolled my eyes. At the end of the term, each pair had to hand their essay that they wrote about all the lessons and how it would affect our A levels and stuff. Great, I couldn't escape this one.
I looked over at Kai. I half hoped that he had listened in this lesson, I had just spend the whole lesson writing a list of how many geniuses were actually mad in the back of my book. 'Whatcha gonna do? You better think of something.' I told him. He turned around; he was staring out of the window. I was staring at the door.
'My house. 6:30. Tonight.' He had his eyes closed. How much I wanted to punch his nose.
'Dunno the address.' Duh! I felt like adding.
'Here.' He handed me a little sheet of paper. I rolled my eyes and made my way to detention.
Detention was God damn boring. The usual work. The teacher fell asleep so I crept out. Probably going to get another detention tomorrow but I don't care. I hate this place! I wanted to scream. The only good thing are my friends.
Slowly, I walked over to my house. My mum wasn't at home. As usual. She doesn't care where I go. Sometimes it's great but sometimes, I just want a normal family. I wish she cared about me more. I wish my dad was sane!
I slouched upstairs and pulled on the first thing I saw lying around. A black baggy Metallica shirt and a pair of blue bad girl skate jeans. I turned on my computer and checked my mails. Someone was sending an msn message to me.

Cutechick#1 says:
Oh really. Then wat is it about u choosing to work with Kai in science?
When I first saw your face, I said, 'is it Halloween already?' says:
You need to get your bloody fact right. The teacher out us together and I didn't want to. Got it?
Cutechick#1 says:
Well u can gt the hell away frm Kai. He's mine.
When I first saw your face, I said, 'is it Halloween already?' says:
My pleasure. I guess you're the only one who's dumb enough to want him but I'm not taking any orders from you though. Not that I want him but if I did, then I can do whatever I like.
Cutechick#1 says:
Ur gonna b sry u eva saw this face u freak.
The first time I saw your face I said, 'is it Halloween already?' says:
I think anyone would be sorry to see your face
I blocked her. Damn! The freaking witch! Argh! This day was getting really bad! Maybe I should just move to Cuba? Chloe's a paranoid bitch. What makes her think that I like Kai? I must admit though... he is quite hot...
