"Ok class," started , "since it's the first day I want everyone to write a small autobiography about yourself. It must be at least a page long. You have the entire period to finish so, begin."
Scarlet looked at the journal given to her for the year. It was blue with a name tag that included her name and class number. With a sigh Scarlet picked up her pencil, opened her book, and began writing.
'My name is Scarlet Rosenblatt. You don't even want to know my middles names because most likely it would fill half this page. I'm fourteen, meaning I'm just starting high school, meaning people ask me how it feels to be in high school. To be honest it feels like every other day of school just with extra work. I have black hair, green eyes, and orange skin. Yes orange skin which leads me to my next paragraph.
I don't really have parents. It's just me and my brother, Duncan. He looks like me...complexion wise. According to him my mother died giving birth to me and my dad ran off after that. The weird thing is he did the same thing to my brother except he came back when he was sixteen. Makes me wonder if he'll come back for me. My mom was Margaret Rosenblatt aka the woman who married Belloc, King of the Kaiju. Yep that's right. I'm half human half monster. While some people might think that's awesome I think it's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. The real question is how did it happen? Seriously from what I've heard my dad's a hundred and twenty foot tall dragon man. Then there was my mom this kind, loving, spitfire of a person who pales in comparison to him in every way. To me it sounds like a twisted Beauty and the Beast story. In fact I think that's where my story really begins.
About thirty years ago my dad tried to destroy the city. By this I mean like Godzilla destroy the city. The military tried to stop him with all they had. They bought in tons of groups that most people will never know about. I'm not sure how long it lasted but, I know it was long enough for people to fear his return. Then there was my mom who was there that day. Instead of running or screaming for her life she went towards him. Of course I have no idea what she was thinking consider the average persons decision at such a time. It was that day that my parents met and the monster fell in love with the woman.
They got married for a short time but, during that time they had my brother. For sixteen years my mom raised Duncan on her own and for sixteen years Duncan didn't know dad at all. Until one night at one party that changed everything. Duncan was at a party with his friend, who I call aunt, Isabel. All of a sudden my father came back for my brother and boy did he make headlines. He took Duncan back to his lair and said that he was destined to be the next King. Duncan didn't want this as most people wouldn't but, dad trained him anyways. He wanted him to be strong and ruthless like him. The one thing Duncan could never do that would make my dad the happiest was kill. No matter what got in the way or who it was Duncan couldn't kill. Sooner or later my parents got back together. This lead to my birth, the death of my mother, and my abandonment.
My brother was left to be my legal guardian and for fourteen years it's just been us. It's not so bad though. I guess you can say that it gives us a,s omewhat, btter relationship than most siblings. Just my bro and me eating coal all day. Did I mention I can only eat coal? Yeah something else my father left me with in fact he left a whole care package. Not only do I have orange skin and can eat coal but,I can also breathe fire. Duncan said he didn't start until he was sixteen but,since girls mature faster that means I was going to get it early. It's new like any car but,hot like a Ferrari. Speaking of development I've also developed more agility,stamina,and all that good stuff. Now yes that comes with many advantages but,in the end it still makes me feel different. I guess that's why there's people like Finn,my Uncle Kenny's son, and Garnet,Aunt Isabel's daughter. They're always there for me no matter what. For years they've followed me from school to school making sure I don't get bullied or worse I hurt the bullies.
All in all my life is simple yet at the same time complicated. I have no mother or father. There's just me,Duncan,Aunt Isabel,Uncle Kenny,Garnet,and Finn. To this day I'm confused and ask myself this one question,am I human or Kaiju? I let the people around me figure that out because I surely can't.'
The bell rang like a siren and Scarlet finally looked up from her journal. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to find Finn who asked,"How much did you write?"
"Like two pages."
"Wow! I barely got one. You must have a lot to talk about for someone so quiet."
"Hey I'm not quiet. I'm just quieter than the rest of you."
"I'm not loud."
"Totally." Scarlet just smirked before getting up to turn her journal in. The Finn followed right in behind her handing off his journal like the rest of the class.
As they walked out of class they could hear their teacher saying,"If you didn't finish today you have tonight to finish."
The rest of the students from the other classes were walking out like them. The only thing Scarlet wanted to do was get the day over with. Her and Finn made it to their lockers where they met Garnet. She already had her books prepared for the next class and her bad on her shoulders.
"How was ELA? Did you guys do that journal assignment?" Garnet was nothing like her mother. She was well rounded and always busy with something. At times it was hard to get her relax or even slow down.
"Yeah and guess who wrote the most?"
"Well probably me. I wrote three pages." Somehow Garnet said that with joy.
"Nevermind,"started Finn,"you've been beat Scarlet."
"Oh yeah Scarlet were you coming to that End Of Summer Bash hosted by Conner?"
Scarlet looked at her with confusion,"Conner who?"
"Conner Adams,the one you like."
Scarlet slammed her locker,"I don't like him."
"Aw," Finn started.
"Don't you dare say it Finn."
Garnet and Finn locked arms before saying,"Sconner,Sconner,that's my ship,if no one happens,Sconner happens." They started going the Can-can Dance and Scarlet just rolled her eyes.
"You two are embarrassing."
"We know!" They said sounding like little kids.
"Trust me I'd love to go with you guys," sarcasm lurked in her voice,"but,I have plans for tonight."
"What plans?" Asked Finn who suspected there were no plans.
"I have a doctor's appointment after school."
"Really? I know for a fact they're not that long. Why don't you get out a little Scarlet. I mean look at Garnet. She's a total nerd but,she mingles a bit. Ow!" Garnet punched Finn in the shoulder.
"It'll be fun Scarlet. Just think about it ok?"
Scarlet sighed before saying,"Fine. I'll think about it during P.E." She didn't really mean it but,anything to keep them happy.
The bell rang and all of them split up for their extra curricular activities that somehow got them a grade. For Scarlet this was volleyball,Finn had wood work,and Garnet had art. The only thing Scarlet could think as she walked to class was,"I'm not looking forward to this."
