A/N: Time for Chapter Two folks! Aliya's first day at South Park High and also maybe a meeting with Mysterion? Who knows what is to come in this epic new installment of Hell bound and Twisted!
Chapter Two
It's been a couple days since I came to this quiet little mountain town, otherwise known as South Park Colorado, and I still can't get used to how cold it is or how superficial the people are around here. I have never met so many idiots-especially that Eric Cartman character. The guys say I'll get used to him, but I don't think it's going to be that simple. If I could imagine what Hitler was like as a child, I would picture Cartman with a Hitler-stache.
The first night we were here I didn't get back until late and dad screamed at me for about an hour before mom got him to lay off. Somehow she convinced him that it was a good thing I was making friends here, and that I had let her know I might be a little late coming home-which I had. I called and told her Mrs. Cartman had invited me to stay for dinner. I got really lucky that night. Dad wasn't really physically abusive where he hit me or something, but he wasn't above locking me in my room for like three days without food…I don't know which I would prefer.
Yesterday I spent the day unpacking and getting my stuff picked out for school, but I did text Stan a bunch. He gave me the down low on kids at school. He told me that pretty much everyone was cool except for Cartman, Clyde, Craig, and Token, but I told him that although I appreciated the thought, I wanted to wait and find out for myself about people.
Today I got to the bus stop about five minutes after Kenny did. I couldn't help but stare at him curiously. He was a perv, I figured that much out already, but there was something about him that I couldn't help but find intriguing. He caught me staring at him and I turned away really fast, embarrassed. Why was my heart beating so fast? He was just some kid from the bad side of town. Dad would flip if he even knew I was at the bus stop with 'his type,' whatever that flipping meant.
"You alright?" I turned at the sound of Kenny's voice and grinned, praying to whoever was listening that I wasn't still blushing.
"Yea I'm just a little out of it. It's been a tough couple of days, you know?" He nodded, but the look in his eyes told me he was suspicious. I shrugged it off. The less contact we have with each other the better it would be for me. His eyes were the prettiest shade of blue….I can't afford to fall for this guy. I don't want to get in trouble anymore.
Stan and Kyle ran up laughing at Cartman who was trying hard to catch up. I shook my head at their antics, and zoned out again when the bus pulled up. I didn't recognize the bus driver, but then I didn't recognize anyone yet except for my-friends? Acquaintances? Oh, well, whatever they were. I sat in a random seat and resisted the urge to groan when Kenny sat next to me, so to avoid conversation I plugged in my earphones and started listening to music on my phone. I missed the look on Kenny's face.
Kenny's P.O.V.
The new girl is a little weird. I caught her staring at me, then she blushed and acted all embarrassed. I know the classic signs of when a girl starts to like a guy-I'm not stupid-but she didn't admit it she just said she was out of it, and then she started ignoring me. As far as I know, that's not a sign she likes me, but the exact opposite. Then when I sat next to her on the bus she acted like she was disgusted by me. It really hurt to be judged by someone that didn't know me-and I wondered what part of me disgusted her. Was it that I was poor?
Then when she started her music I glanced down and seen a thin scar gleaming against her otherwise pretty tan skin. I began to wonder if she's into self-harm.
It wasn't any of my business, but she needed to talk to someone, if that person wasn't us, then maybe…Mysterion could help her. That's when I got my resolve to visit her tonight in costume. If she didn't know Mysterion's identity then maybe she would loosen up around him.
Aliya's P.O.V.
I felt really bad for how I acted towards Kenny, but I know that judging by the way my heart pounded when our eyes met that I would only get into trouble with him. I looked down at my wrist, a scar was there from a suicide attempt I made a couple years ago when I was young, dumb, and weak. It traveled from my artery to my upper forearm. I chickened out and panicked and called mom who hauled ass to the hospital. Dad was away on a business trip so we never told him about it. Both of us are scared of him, but mom won't leave because she has nowhere to go especially since dad controls all the credit cards and the money and her family cut off contact with her years ago when she married him. She had been a fool and thought everyone was wrong about him, but she found out the hard way that he was nothing more than a douche.
I wonder if I could make it here and do more than just survive. The guys I met seem really cool, maybe I should take more risks and have fun, screw the consequences? No….Because if I did that I don't know what dad would do to mom..
"Aliya, we're going to lunch, do you want to meet Wendy?"
It was Stan, and we shared this class with Kenny, luckily he sat on the other side of the classroom since his last name was McCormick and mine was Bennett. He was watching me again, gauging my reaction of him I guess, so I ignored him and I stood up. I didn't have anything against him personally, I actually kind of thought he was cool, but if I went against dad, I don't want to think about what would go down.
"Ok, sure Stan."
Today was going to be a long ass day.

School was finally out. My first day had been relatively easy, especially since I had already studied the stuff they went over in class. I was ahead-and that was a miracle. I was invited to go over to Kyle's and watch a Canadian show called Terrance and Phillip but I didn't want to be late getting home and I told him so, and he seemed to understand so I walked on home.
I did all my homework, cooked dinner for mom and dad, and then cleaned until around ten, then I collapsed on my bed after showering and throwing on sweat pants and t-shirt. Just another day in the life, man. Sometimes I believe I have too many responsibilities for a fourteen year old. I don't really blame mom though, but she is an alcoholic. She stays passed out a lot, and I just want to help her out so I do more than my share of chores.
I began to cover up when I heard a voice come from my window.
"Hey, you."
I about jumped out of my skin, and when I looked over at my window I seen a figure dressed in dark blue and black with a question mark over his head. "Oh my god! You scared the living hell outta me!" I was well aware that my southern accent flowed out unchecked. "Who the hell are you?" The guy-I guess it was a guy, it's voice was pretty deep.
"I am Mysterion, and I got a tip from one of your classmates that you may be having troubles at home. I wanted to check in and see for myself. I don't allow any crime of any kind in my town."
I stared at him and shrugged. "Well nothing's wrong here. I don't know what to tell you, someone must have had their facts mixed up." He raised an eyebrow and nodded at my arm.
"Then what is that scar?"
I frowned at him. "It was a dumb mistake on my part when I was a weaker person." He nodded slowly but didn't leave. "What? Is there something else?" He paused and then spoke.
"What do you have against Kenny McCormick?"
Oh shit, someone noticed that? What do I say? I don't know who this person is….should I lie? I don't really like lying….Oh what the hell I'll tell him the truth. "My dad is real harsh on me. He has a superiority complex, and if he knew I was friends with Kenny, I'd get in a lot of shit. It's not that I don't like the guy-I do, he's funny in a pervy kind of way, but I can't get involved with that….It sounds horrible but you don't know my dad."
Mysterion looked angry for about two seconds and I braced myself for him to tell me I was a shitty person, but when he didn't respond, I looked up at him again only to find that he was gone. "Well that was weird….I hope he doesn't think I'm a horrible person." I closed my window and shut the curtains. Great. I finally meet a superhero and I probably just came off as the shallowest person on the face of the planet to him. He just doesn't know my situation. I'm in a tough spot. Should I try to get to know Kenny and risk severe punishment, or just let it go and live in a safe zone my whole life and probably end up with a man just like my father?
My eyes widened and I sat up. That wouldn't happen. No way would that happen. I'm smarter than mom. I wouldn't fall for the same tricks she did. I laid back down and allowed a few short tears to escape my eyes. I was such a coward.

The next day when I showed up to the bus stop I walked up to Kenny who was staring at me with a weird expression. I smiled at him and waved hello. He looked shocked for a second before he waved back.
Maybe I really should start taking a few risks. If dad finds out so be it, I'll live, I always do.
