Dear Readers,

Again Aries here! I hoped you enjoyed Chapter Two. Here's the Third installment of Genetic Malfunctions. I hope you enjoy it.

I again have to say I don't own Twilight, or the characters. Unfortunately Stephanie Myers owns it. So~ Yeah

But I do own Kee and other O.C.s later to come.

Again another short chapter.

Chapter Three: I'd call it an Adventure, if it was one

"My stomach hurts!" I whined as I clutched at a nearby pillow and curled around it, trying to keep myself in bed just a little longer.

Auntie Sue sighed and shook her head at me, before grabbing at my ankles, trying to pull me off my bed.

Too bad for her, I now grabbed onto the headboard.

"Come on Kee! You weren't like this till I said the word school!" She wiped her forehead from exhaustion and tried again at my ankles.

Obviously, her kids were a lot more compliant, if she got tired this quickly.

"Yes! See that's exactly it! School! Horrible, horrible place ya know! Makes me feel all sick inside." I exclaimed as I kicked her hands away, causing her to stop. I peeked from under my bangs, catching a glimpse of Auntie Sue, with her hands on her hips and her hair out of place from her braid.

"Kee…" She sighed in frustration as she steped back from my bed and to the window, pushing it open.

"Look… I just don't want to go to school right now…"

I don't tell her it's because I'm afraid. Afraid of being picked on, of not fitting in. I'm supposed to be cured of that stuff. Years of therapy was supposed to make sure of that.

You shouldn't have so many complexes this young, Dad had told me.

Not exactly a father of the year moment on his part.

She placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed gently, before picking up my comforter which had been discarded during our little 'tussle' and placing it on my bed.

"Why don't you unpack then? I'll call the school and say I've made a mistake."

I nodded and watched as the door closed before sitting up, staring blankly at my duffel bag, and decided right then and there, I wouldn't be unpacking just yet, before turning my head, facing the open window, watching the rain fall.

What the hell am I supposed to do while I'm here? What is there to do?

I could go to the beach!

But I'm not really a beach person.. Plus it's raining. And my nose ring… Shit…

Wait!

I could go to Forks….

But there's nothing to do in Forks… It's as limited as La Push.

See, this is why I love New York.

There's no limitation, as long as you have a metro card, you can get anywhere in the City.

Art, life, buzzing.

New York how I miss you! I groaned and threw myself back on my bed, pulled my pillow over my face.

Maybe if I press it hard enough, I could suffocate myself, then I wouldn't have to stay in this dreary place.

Then an idea hits me. The forest!

…. Okay maybe I'm getting a little too excited over here. And hypocritical, I mean, I don't like Pennsylvania for the nature and all that shit. But here I am willing to go for a little hike in the woods. I'll just blame Winnie the Pooh and Avatar. Pennsylvania's landscape… A forest is life, buzzing, kind of a muse for Art. Plus, it's forbidden.

Yup forbidden.

It's dangerous.

Then why are you living near it?

But out of part respect and part not wanting to be kicked out, I decided that I wasn't going to ask Auntie Sue.

If I remembered correctly her husband, Harry lived here all his life. It was a house passed through the generations. If it there's one thing I understand it's sentiment.

I could bother my cousins but Leah's off somewhere, and Seth … Is probably at school.

It made sense, that there was nowhere else to go than the forest.

But I told Sue I would unpack. But I really don't want to do that. And my eyes land on the window, and another stroke of genius hits me.

I grinned and scrambled toward my duffel bag, ripping off my sleeping tee. I grabbed at something black, grinned at the fact that it was a pair of black baggy jeans, which meant I wouldn't have to search. I put on a white tank top, then a black tee-shirt over it, which ended right above my navel. I pulled my silver dog tag from under the material of both shirts and put water-proof tape over my silver, star nose ring.

Newly pierced nose… I didn't know much about piercings. I had the H2 Ocean spray they told me to have, but I read the thing over and over and it constantly said to not get it wet, so that's exactly what I'm going to do

After locking my bedroom door, I slipped my I-pod into my pockets, the headphones over my ears, I made my way to my window. Unpacking, in Sue's mind, would probably take a few hours. As long as I was home before lunch time I'd be okay.

Half-way down the tree, I realized, I wasn't wearing shoes. For anyone else, they would think, how can one forget their shoes, especially when you're going down a tree? It's a known fact that I don't wear shoes unless it's absolutely necessarily, like the winter times, even then I really hate to wear them. I can usually just get by with sandals though.

Anyways, it's too late now, because I've already put too much effort in getting down the tree.

As soon as I've landed on the wet grass, Auntie Sue just had to appear in the window..

I dodged and kind of glued myself to the tree, trying to remember the lessons that online Ninja school had taught me…

Online Ninja School…

Am I really that lame...?

Yes, yes I am.
