Any way! enjoy!

Disclamier: Not mine got it?

What is normality anyway?

I woke up the next morning still feeling the effects of the night before.

I had come home from school that day to find my father waiting at the door for me. The stench of alcohol reaching my nostrils instantly. I tried to run, but he held me in place.

"This is all your fault. YOUR FAULT!"

Not again, please not again. I could see his fist tightening by his side. I braced for the impact that was bound to happen sooner rather than later. One swift punch to the stomach and I could feel my skull hit the floor. I was the proverbial dog on the floor that you were never meant to kick when it was down. So he slowly stood me back up and pounded my flesh till it was soft like clay. I didn't fall to the floor again until he was finished with me.

I had homework to do.

'That didn't happen' I said to myself it was just a dream. I'll go down stairs and my father will be getting ready for work and he'll ask me what I want for breakfast like a normal family.

I sighed at my lack of imagination. In truth I don't even know how a normal family functions! So I got dressed and went downstairs to find my father asleep on the floor. Oh just my luck. I slowly crept round him and grabbed an apple from the kitchen side. Careful not to wake him, I gathered my stuff and cracked open the door, hearing the familiar creek of the old hinges. I quietly closed the door behind me and made a mad dash down the street and round the corner. Phew. I started to walk this time, eating my apple on the way. School was such a drag.

'WHY CANT MY LIFE JUST BE NORMAL! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE PICKED ON! WHY ME!' I screamed inside my head as Dona and her cronies approached me. I kept my head down and walked as fast as I could down the hall towards my locker.

'Please not today, Please not today, Please not today, Please not today' Stupid mantra never works. Dona kicked my feet from under me and I went straight down. Landing on some of the bruises that had been made the night before. I didn't scream though. I wouldn't cry either, other wise they would think I was weak. I clutch my stomach and curled up into a ball on the floor. The proverbial dog has scampered off now as I am beaten by hiking boots and stiletto a like. Dona starts to laugh as she walks off. And I'm still lying on the floor. Late for class again and late home where I would undoubtedly be punished again.

I pick my self up despite the agony and go to my first class. English.

My cousin Rikku is in this class. I don't understand how she can be hyper all the time. Mind you she doesn't have to live with my father.

"Hey Rikku." I said taking the seat next to her.

She looks nervously over at me. I can't help but laugh at her forgetfulness.

I unconsciously hand her my homework as the teacher walks in and settles down in front of the desk and begins calling the register.

"Thanks Yunie! I owe you one!" She whispers over at me and smiles one of those genuine smiles. The ones that she only gives to her closest friends. With Rikku around you can't help but smile. She brings out the best in people, you know?

Second class…almost there…

Maester Mika began the Ethics and Beliefs class. I cover my mouth as I yawn. This class is so pointless. It's basic common sense and opinions. All you have to do is regurgitate it all on to the exam. You don't even have to use your brain much to figure out "Euthanasia is ways of killing your self" hell you could say, "Euthanasia is an aeon" if you could back it up. I feel sorry for the people that don't even use their brain at all…COUGH Dona COUGH… ahem. I need all the grades I can get if I want to get out of this bloody town.

Not that I want to leave the friends that I do have behind like; Rikku and a quiet girl named Lulu who's really quite talkative (well more than usual) once you get to know her. Some times I wonder if Lulu would talk at all given the choice. I don't have a choice. That's why I don't speak out to anyone. I don't give trust out that often.

I start to doodle in my notebook. Its not like I was going to write in it anyway. I cant help but start to draw little figures of revenge like; Seymour on the rack and Dona being burnt at the stake like the witch she is.

The bell rings and I leap out of my seat. Its bad enough having all the people you hate in one class but to have them ALL in more than 2 is just bad luck on my part. Thanks the Gods that they ignore me during class. Wouldn't want to get caught would they?

The rest of the day went rather smoothly as far as my day goes, which probably meant it, could only get worse…just my luck.

No ones home when I get in. he's probably gone to bar. I run to my room and lock the door and leave the window open just in case I need a quick escape. I pull out my laptop and go online. The only place I can feel safe. I have all of 3 people on my msn messenger. I have no idea why I still have it really. No ones online though. What a surprise. I go one my favourite online game. Final Fantasy. I never talk to anyone though. I'm afraid they will make fun of me like all the rest of them. As I walk around the virtual town a blonde haired warrior stops me. (or at least that's what he looks like in the game.) His sword is Blue and seems to have a water spell constantly cast on it. As for me in the game I'm quite an accomplished summoner and white mage. The game generates names for you depending on what type of character you are. I was fortunate in getting a cool name. I was expecting some thing like Gertrude…

"Richard: Hello"

I was thinking to my self should I talk to him? Why not?

"Beatrice: Hi"

"Richard: I was wondering if you would like to join me? I need a healer and I'm sure it would be beneficial to you to have a warrior to help you out and level up."

What was wrong with me? I never talk to people in the game and now I'm actually considering his offer? And I catch myself thinking again, why not? I do need help.

"Beatrice: Are you sure? You could find better that me. You know?"

"Richard: I'm sure I could but I've seen you in battle and you are stronger, faster and more skilled than some of the other people I have met."

"Beatrice: Is it just you? Or are there more people on your team?"

"Richard: Just me."

Go for it. Whats the worst that can happen? I heard the door slam. Oh no…

In the heat of the moment I said

"Beatrice: Sure I'll join you."

The satisfactory feeling inside me seemed to fade as I heard the footsteps on the stairs. I hide the laptop again and quickly jump in bed. The door being broken down soon breaks my façade. I suppose the good comes with the bad.

A/N- just wanted to say Beatrice is an awsome name!

(It's a bit jumpy from each event to the next because its only what Yuna wants to tell us, and to be honest i dont think you wanna hear about how much loo roll paper she used in the toilet...hahaha!)

Whats going to happen next? find out next time on...(I'm so sad...)

Review ok? tell me what you think! the next chapter will be up soon!
