After the class had finished its lessons and it was time for morning break everyone all left in a rush and were noisy laughing chatting and shouting a bit as they rushed out the door but unlike the others Karen left quietly and slowly as if she didn't want to go out side with the others

Karen have you got one moment to spare the teacher asked glancing over at the tiny girl making her look scared as she gatherd her things together

Y Yes miss what's wrong Karen said looking at the woman with worry and a bit of fear in her eyes

Oh it's nothing Karen you just run along now I forgot what I was going to say don't think it was importent anyway the teacher said as Karen shrugged and went out the room to put her things in her locker but unknown to her the teacher was worried

I know that the Mcormicks are living in terrible poverty and are struggling to cope and they did have their power and their phone cut off a few months ago and also the father is an alcoholic and their mother takes drugs but surly they wouldn't abuse their own children and Karen and Kenny too always seemed fine or surly Mr Garrison would say something to as he had Kenny in his class though he did have a few problems about kenny's time keeping and swearing he never mentioned other problems but he did have that fat boy in his class that caused him the most trouble fighting with the Jewish boy the teacher recalled

As Karen headed out the class to put her things in the locker she planned to sit at the picnic benches and watch the other kids play as no one ever wanted to play with her and even the kindergarten kids picked on her she had no friends really apart from Kenny but as Karen stepped out onto the play ground the mean bully Mirranda with her 3 friends came over and suddenly grabbed her slamming Karen I to a wall and one of the other girls grabbed Karen by the hair pulling her head back as Mirranda came over to face her

you ratted on us you filthy little bitch and you think your teachers per don't you little sewer rat Mirranda said punching Karen in the stomock

Please no p please leave me alone oh I didn't mean to get you into trouble Mirranda begged Karen

Too late rat and what you gonna do if I don't leave you alone tell Kenny and have your dumb brother beat us up doubt it bet he's away dumpster diving for clothes cos you can't even aford clothes from the thrift stores do instead you take our throw always even eat our left over food hey maybe that's where Kenny in the trash and he's not your brother you have to admit he dosent even look like you retard did someone dump him as a baby your mom find him in a dumpster too then laughed Mirranda glancing at her 3 friends who all laughed and one of the girls said oh that was really funny Mirranda

Oh no please he is my brother and let me go your hurting me said Karen and as the other girl twisted her arm hard up her back then kicked her

Aww look Mirranda I think she's gonna cry now another girl said with a laugh making Mirranda laugh

Aww is the little cry baby gonna cry then and you'll run and tell Kenny that the nasty big girls are picking on you Mirranda taunted

Hey maybe she'll be busy dumpster diving with that dumb brother of hers looking for clothes or tonight's dinner another girl said making the others laugh

Yeah that's true or breaking into to houses so make sure that your houses are locked up the Mcormicks are on the loose thank god we have a secuarty gaurd and dogs Mirranda said looking at her friends before turning back to Karen

But remeber Mcormick I'm watching you bitch and you and I have a meeting after school and if you don't want your ugly little face rearranged so bad even your mom won't know you you will give me that Olaf notebook and Elsa pen I want them Mirranda said

Wh what no I can't give you them Kenny got me them no immsorry Karen said

I don't give a shit about Kenny he's not my friend or my brother thank God and you will do as I say otherwise by the time I'm finished with you as I said even your own mom won't know you and also I think you will be booking yourself a bed in the ICU of Hells pass hospital and anyway I'm sure that your pathetic brother can steal you another pen and notebook cos he stole that one and don't deny it Mirranda said before finally letting karen go

Yeah so why don't you be a good little girl and give Mirranda that frozen stuff after school oh and another thing poor kid your gonna keep your little mouth shut or we will smash your teeth in simple as that another girl said and Mirranda nodded in agreement

Shell be quiet if she knows what's good for her come on let's get away from her but we will meet up again after school don't forget or we will come looking for you Moccormick Mirranda said as thr 4 girls linked arms and walked away leaving Karen on her own again

Karen sighed as she watched the crule girls walk away all giggling and Karen sat on the step and started to cry she hated those girls and was terrified of them

Mirranda was almost a year older than her shed already turned 8 but was very tall twice the size of Karen and almost as tall as Kenny and also her family had connections too she was related to the towns mayor too and was an only child spoilt rotten and her family very very. Wealthy richer than Token her dad was a top surgan at a privet hospital and cabled in politics too so had 2 jobs both paid really well and her mom was a designer of art and also designed clothes for rich kids plus had dealings in the art world and had her own privet gallery and bred standard pure bred poodles she had like 10 large poodles and Mirranda herself had 2 small poodles that were dyed pink as pets they were her babies and compared to Karen Morranda was very pretty and also made her own money by modeling and by doing pagents with help from her mom an aunt and her grandma and she won everyone she enterd she still sometimes did them but was now getting into ponies and playing with hr dogs but she wanted to be a top world famouse model and she could easly do it she had the best clothes only designer labels she had amazing beautiful plae blonde shiny hair that was to her thighs and French manicured nails and her 3 friends were very pretty too

One girl lived in the gated community too her family were rich not as rich as Token's though and the other 2 girls lived in town and sometimes Mirranda had more girls in her little gang including Ruby Tucker her brother Craig sometimes hung out with Kenny but Karen was scared of Mirranda as she was bigger and stronger and could really hurt Karen and sometimes she just gor her friends to hurt Karen instead

Karen sighed sadly leaning against the wall as she thought back to the terrible fight last night her being hit along with Kenny her dad screaming at her and him calling her a whinning little brat and that she should never been born he wanted her aborted and her mom was so high on drugs she didn't even stand up for her or Kenny she was too out of it it was only when Stuart hit her she fought back but as ushal it was Kenny that got the worse of it and Stuart used the poor boy as a human punchbag and yelling at him that he didn't want the kids and that they should all have been aborted every last one of them they were unwanted they were a burdon on him and he hoped that they'd all get hit by a truck and killed not knowing of kenny's powers of being unable to die but Karen often thought that maybe things would have been better if she had never been born as she did see herself asa burdon on the family that probelly would amount to nothing

Also watching Karen was her teacher she often wonderd about Karen she was really a very quiet timid little girl and hardly spoke about her home life only about Kenny she was close to him and he was the only one that botherd with her it seemed but she knew the family had a lot of problems the older brother was in jail for theft and breech of the peace and also he landed in more trouble for fighting whist inside but the teacher thought what went on in Karen's home life was privet and really none of her. Buisness and Karen always put a brave face on daring not to crack

...

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone

In a world that she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete Angel

...

As Karen watched the other kids all play happly together and talk about their cool parents and show off their cool belongings Karen"s mind started to wander and she went off into a day dream

It was a strange dream and in it she had the power of flight and she also had this dream at night too and enjoyed the dream

In the dream Karen wore a beautiful white lace sundress and white sandles and she was clean and her hair was clean and shiny too and hung to mid back in curls and had white ribbons in it and a crown of daisy chains sat on her head as they were her favriout flowers

At the start of the dream Karen had a beautiful amazing pair of the softest white wings that grew from her back ut they felt natural and didn't scare her she loved the wings and they carried her to a beautiful large garden full of flowers and their lovely perfume filled the air Karen had never seen such beautiful flowers before and also an elderly woman came over and warmly welcomed her and kissed her forhead and hugged her also their we're other children their in the garden too who were also all dressed in white and then a little boy came over smilling

The boy looked younger than Karen and he was also in white and had thick dark brown glossy hair sparkling brown eyes and pink rosy cheeks Karen knew this boy from somewhere but couldn't remeber where but she hugged him then he took her hand and led her over to the other children who came over and greeted Karen warmly and invited her to come and play with them and they all wore white too and also gave Karen a warm hug before Karen ran off happly to play with them

Thos was Karen's little escape that place but she had no idea where it was or what it ment and who the people were but they all loved her and Karen hated to leave that place but sadly the sound of the school bell dragged Karen back to the real world and the horrors that went with it

Well that's that chappy done more coming soon so stay tuned
