Celandine (Dina)'s POV
I felt like a bitch and Willabel knew it. I was not eating. I just wasn't. This was, not only, my "time of month" but also my days when I feel like I ate waaaay to much the day before. At least I looked awesome.
"Dina…I did tell your dad that you would eat…"
"Just forget it, Willow."
"Eat the damn apple, Dina."
"No."
I crossed my arms and gave her THE LOOK. THE LOOK was a mixture of hatred and bratty, all in one delicious death glare. She grabbed my arm and stuffed something starchy and caloric in my mouth. It tasted like a…a…CROSSIANT! Oh, she is soooo dead. She knows I seriously dislike overly caloric buttery things on my days. I prefer bagels. I nearly spat it out, but there was something different about the taste…Oh, no. Not them. Not the Café Fina Chocolate Croissants. Not the ones I ABSOLUTLEY LIVE FOR!!! Needless to say, it was gone in about two seconds.
"You told me it was an apple!" I whined.
"It was but then I realized that there was no way you would eat anything but something you lived for." She knows me way too well.
"Yay! We're nearly there!"
There was Monterey Bay Charter School, home of the MBCS Gnomes. Also home of the Bestest teacher in the entire world: Ms. Clarke, more commonly known as Clarkie or Clarkizzle fershizzle. As I walked into the classroom, a hush went over the usually insanely loud seventh graders. Yes, this was the third time we were late this week. Who cares?
"So, would one of you young ladies like to tell us why you are late?" I cleared my throat.
"Well, uhm, my dad lost the keys to the cage I sleep in, and it took him a full twenty minutes to find it, and another twenty to get ready for school, and fifteen to get here." She raised her eyebrows as eighty percent of the class burst into laughter.
"What she means to say is that she spent forty minutes doing her hair." Willow said.
I gave her THE LOOK.
"What I mean to say is that I spend eight hours a day in a cage."
"Ladies, just sit down."
"Shall happen, Clarkie!" we said in unison then sat down.
"Oh! Dina, Willow, this is our new student, Artemis." Clarkie said, smiling.
I expected to see a girl when I looked over but instead, I saw an extremely pale boy with black hair and an evil smirk.
