Starting High School
The sun slightly peaked over the horizon on a thursday morning
-Beep... Beep... Beep... SLAM-
" 6:30 In the morning... I hate school..."
The young saiyan rose from bed. Her long black hair a mess. The hair that was the same as her fathers was, in length, color, and appearence. Black long spikey hair down to her knees, a rats nest for sure. She opened her door slowly and walked out of her room. The house was quiet as it had been for the rest of summer... well aside from the two love birds chirping away in the living room. She went into the kitchen where her mom was already making breakfast.
"Hello Onri did you sleep well? I hope you got everything realy for school in time. " Liza said to her daughter softly as she flipped the pancakes over.
"How can anyone sleep well knowing they have to suffer in school the next day..." the girl responded rubbing her eyes gently.
"Ha Ha Very Funny. Go get ready, breakfast will be on the table soon." Her mother said and went back to cooking.
Onri wandered off back to her room gathering the cloths off her floor. Her hair was still a bit wet from the shower she took last night. She attempted to brush her hair, but to no avail. The brush would just get stuck or rip her hair out. She grumbled in pain and threw the brush on her bed finally giving up. A half an hour went by quickly, and she was finally ready. She tiredly walked back to the kitchen and slumped down in her chair. The pancakes had been already set infront of her even before she walked out. The syrup oozed off the top of them, down the sides like a slow motion water fall. Onri picked up her fork and ate slowly. Her mom sat beside her and ate as well. Onri could still see the sadness and lonliness in her moms eyes, from the disappearance oof Raditz, her father, her mom has not been the same at all. It seemed like an eternity of silence went by as they ate.
"You done Onri? " Her mother finally spoke.
" Huh? " She looked up her hand moveing as she had been playing with her pancakes. " Oh Yeah... Im ready, I guess I better get going..." She sighed out.
Her mom went to her and kissed the top of her head
" Ill see you after school. I love you. " She said before Onri had a chance to respond and walked away.
Tears were very evident in her mothers eyes. Onri sighed again as she watched her mom walk away. Her mom would be here alone now since she got laid off from work. Onri stayed for a few more minutes in silence. Then she stood up and grabbed the lunch her mom made in the paper bag, along with a pen and a notebook for writting the supplies and such for each class. With that in hand she walked outside and wrapped her brown fuzzy tail around her waist. Making sure it looked exactly like her dad had shown her, like a normal kid. She began the short walk to the high school her eyes lowered watching the floor sadly. As soon as she was in the sight of other kids walking to school, she straightened her posture, eyes straight forward and walked proudly.
" Onri! Hey Onri!" Her friend called out.
She turned and faked a smile to her friend. " Hey how have you been Goten? First day of school... yay..." She said sarcastically the last part to her friend.
" Ive been great! Dad and I went away for the summer!" Goten said happily.
"Oh? Great! " Onri replied trying to seem happy for her. " Come on, lets walk. " She said and continued on the walk to school with Goten by her side, chattering about the great time she had with her dad.
At school she kept her feelings hidden from the world. Trying to take the day in moment, by moment. She wrote down all that was required for each class eagerly waiting for 7th period. She clenched her pen and stared at the clock, the teachers lecture sounded like mumbles as she waited for the bell.
-Beeeeeeeeeeeeep!- "YES!" She exclaimed and ran out of the class room
Lunch had finally come. She went into the lunch room looking for her friends. She saw them wave and ran over through the crowds and sat with them. "Hey Goten. Whats up Gandor?" Onri said as she sat down and quickly opened her bag, he saiyan stomach growling. She began to eat the perfectly made bologna and cheese sandwich her mom packed for her as the conversation continued.
"Hey Onri!" They both said happily. Goten continued. " We got a new friend at the table! Miroshira!" Onri glanced at the silent 'new kid' to the school. " I see..." She said softly and finished eating what her stomach could handle.
Onri felt a strange pull to the new kid but didnt say anything. She had saw Miroshiro in science today but Miro had been preoccupied with Onri's worst enemy. 7th period was closeing in, only two more classes left, She said her goodbyes to her friends right as the bell rang. Math was her next period, the one subject she hated most. She waved and fake smiled at her friends as she walked away. So many happy stories from her friends or people in class filling her head. " Dad This, or Dad That." She stopped in the cross roads of the hall way and stared off towards the guidence councler and social workers office. Suddenly the tears started to fall from her eyes. She glanced towards where he class was and ran the opposide way to the social workers office like her pants were on fire. Soon in she was greeted by many nice people. A few asking if she was okay, or what was wrong. She simply shook her head and asked if she could speak to the social worker. They of course nodded and left word with the social worker. Onri sat down in the soft chairs of the air conditioned office and waited her turn.
Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
My time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along
" Come in." A voice called out
Onri walked into the small room, looking around to take in her new surroundings. The social worker shook her hand and urged Onri to take a seat.
" You seem so troubled, your tears are evident. Whats your name? I am Mrs. Coras."
"Onri" the small voice responded
" So Tell me Onri... Why are you crying, What troubles you so much..." She said with a soft voice and leaned forward to listen
" I dont know where to begin..."
The voices of the two faded as the door slowly closed.
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Onri stayed there for the rest of the day bawling out her entire life, watching it be written down by this social worker. Now a strong feeling of depression became a part of her life, along with anxiety disorder which she had no idea what was at that time. These last years of school were going to be hard. Anger, Confusion, Depression, Anxiety.. so much put on the young saiyan in such a short period of time. The door finally opened after many minutes after the last classes let out. All the kids had left even her friends. She was going to walk home alone, like she felt and will be feeling from this day on. Yet a smile she will always show to hide away what was truly inside.
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be
My hero?
All the days
You spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't
Care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright
Onri walked home that day, the feeling of sadness... dread, guilt... Tears still falling from her eyes as she walked into her house. Her mom of course was there to greet her, tears from her eyes as well, the two embraced tightly exchangeing " I love you's" to each other. They both knew that from this day forth nothing would be the same. The first day of High School Ended up being nothing but a nightmare. The only thing that ran through her mind now was her fathers voice days before he left saying " I am going to leave your mother Onri, Im just not happy anymore.. Things arnt right with us. You know I love you right?" She never believed him, he never said 'I Love you ' to her before. She knew it would just end up in a battle for custody. Court. Something she thought she would never have to face.
Nothing's gonna change
The things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this
Right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm Sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
