It was a foggy morning,you could hardly see anyone.The street lights were still on which suprised me because they usually turn off when it reaches around 7 AM.I started walking to my bus stop slowly..just to make sure that no one was going to attack me or anything..foggy mornings seemed like a perfect time to just snatch someone and never bring them back.Because no one would see a thing.I arrived at my Bus Stop just in time, I seriously thought I would miss the bus because of my slow walking.I didn't talk to anyone..everyone seemed strange to me....they all had tired faces and their eyes looked like they had seen things that they shouldn't have seen.It sort of scared me..The Bus had finally came and I was so relieved to be out of there.I sat all the way in the back of the Bus until one girl sat right next to me.
"Hi! my name is Talia" said the mysterious girl that I hardly knew.There was silence for a couple seconds then I finally found the courage to say hello."Hi..my names Karolina." I answered quickly.Talia had deep blue eyes that you could get lost into..and she had very curly hair with a dash of light blonde."You're new right? I have never seen you before..we should hang out sometime!" answered Talia with a smile on her face.I smiled back..I've never met someone as happy as her..All my friends before had turned on me,and left me in the dirt but most of all..took advantage of me,But Talia was..different.Talia gave me her phone number and kik username."Just so we can keep in touch" she answered leaving the seat.The bus finally came to a stop and I got out of my seat and went down the steps,suddenly the Bus driver grabbed my arm and told me "Be careful child..that girl Talia is no good" I yanked my arm away from the Bus Driver and rolled my eyes.Carefully going down the steps,the shadow of the school building blocked the sun.In big letters on the top of the building it said "EVERGREEN HIGHSCHOOL".Slowly walking to my 1st Period I spotted a couple making out against the wall,Girls & Boys smoking and leaning against the wall with their pale white faces and bubblegum pink lips with the cigarette taste in their mouths.The bell rang and I ran to my 1st Period just praying that the Professer doesn't mark me tardy because i'm new to the school.
"Oh if it isn't Ms.Alverez! you're late." said the Professer scolding me.I wondered how he knew my last name without me even introducing myself to him.."Go take the seat right next to Talia".I wasn't suprised that I was seated next to Talia..I guess she was my mentor or something like that I guess."Hey Karolina..before class starts..tell me a little about your self " asked Talia with a serious face.I sighed and told Talia that I was from the Dominican Republic and that I moved here because my parents wanted me to have a better future here in the United States.Talia seemed very intrested she kept making eye contact and even wrote things down..which kind of freaked me out because what if she was planning to you know..do something to me..."Alright settle down class!" said the professer closing the Classroom door."Today we will be learning about...Betrayal and Heartbreak" The class whined and some just put their heads down like they were ready to sleep.The professer turned out the lights and showed a slide-show of how Betrayal and Heartbreak works."Betrayal can be done in several ways my children,one way is by not keeping the promise you made with the other person or sharing a secret that should've been locked away from the world to someone else".The professer kept going on and on until class was over.I knew all about this,which was kind of sad because I have actually been the victim of Betrayal and Heartbreak many times.
AfterSchool was over I sat at the end of the bus like usual.Talia sat right next to me and buckled her seat belt."Hey Talia..do you have a last name? the Professer usually calls everyone by their last name..so why does he call you Ms.Talia?" I asked concerned.Talia put her back-pack on the floor and said "I don't have a last name Karolina..." she said with a serious face.She sort of scared me...she then pulled out a truffle bag full of spray paint,and weapons.I became uncomfortable right away..I thought of reporting her but since she had that truffle bag full of dangerous shit I didn't wanna risk it.She pulled out the Knife and cut the points of her fingers and she then sucked the blood so it wouldn't bleed anymore.I gaged."You see this Karolina? this is blood.And tonight I'll be vandalizing the school tonight...and for protection..you already know" she said snickering.After the Bus came to our Neighborhood I speed walked home.I didn't want to be anywhere near Talia at all! I slammed and locked the door and sighed with relief.My mother was making Dinner and my Father was out working."Whats wrong Karolina?" asked my mother tossing the Salad."Nothing just happy to be home!".I lied.After what I just saw I'm freaked out and scared..Talia is just like everyone else..just waiting to snap and delete anyone in her way,she just has a very good way of hiding it but I wanted to giver her a chance.
