Lying to Lillac

Ch.1 Reagular day at the Copper house

As I sit in my damp dark room waiting
to be beaconed by the monster. I sit
quietly patiently. then all of a sudden
violently I hear "THUD... THUD....
THUD", It's mother coming up the stairs to take me by
the arm to give me the daily brain wash.
As she slams open my already wilted and
broken door. She just stood there...for a
second, postponing the impossible, and
as I cringe in fear of a blow to the
head...she just stared with the back of her palm up in the air. Then as one little
drop rolled down the check of the once
gently mother, her hand went crashing down on to my arms grabbing Botha of my arms with full forces she said firmly yet wispy "Clean!",

once I finished it wasn't good
enough, it never is, she took me by my hair. then it
happened......... the draining sensation of her beating and burning my flesh and soul. She tells me I deserve it, that I need the pain, if it's physical or metal we need pain, that I needed pain.

As my eyes slowly opened with glee to a new day,a school day. The weekend had ended. Even though school was bad, it was better than my mom, she's changed since the accident. I got to school earlier than normal, but it seemed like I was late form all the people that were already there. Kat was the first to come up to me. "HI LILLAC! Like OMG it's been forever since I saw you last"she screamed with joy in my ear "Two days kat it's been two days" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes with a grin, then suddenly...I was close to tearing up. Mother says that if I left no one would care. As I quickly open my eyes so the tears might go away, I looked around for an escape, as I then Hasten my pace I said I had to go. Then my feet started to hurt from walking but still I kept going.

As I walk towards my locker I see Maria. She is someone I really trust she is the only one that knows my home life. "You okay?" She asked with a gentle face " yea I guess", Looking away from her eyes back to my locker as a tear rolls down my face that was waiting to fall since talking to Kat. "No you're lying you're not okay what happened?" Looking into her eye, she just said "No show me". I pulled up my sleeves to show her the new and improved scars " U didn't do those did u?" With des pare in my eyes I shook my head saying "No mother did" battling back the tears she took my hand and said "it's gonna be okay". I hated it when she said that because it wasn't. I told her I had to go ask some questions about the homework we got in math...I lied.

Still five minutes to class I bumped into katelyn who was looking beautiful. "hai lillac how is you!?" Batting her eyelashes like a beautiful model " hey, good I guess? What did you do this weekend?" I asked with a smile "you know, the jist bank robbing, drugs, alcohol, etc." she said sarcastically "what about you?" Still giggling from her last remark. Lying through my teeth with a smile I said with a giggle, "haha same but mine was just in the movies I watched!". Then as she walked away he walked by, I almost died.

Finally lunch time", I thought to my self. As I walked to my locker I saw Maria waiting " HEY GURLLL!" she yelled in a girly high pitched voice. I just laughed rolled my eyes then smirked, "ready for lunch young one?!" She giggled. "Just wait! Oh my goodness child!"I said with a smile while trying to put my stuff in my already stuffed locker.

Once we sat down at our lunch table I realized, mother thought it would be funny not to give me money for lunch so I couldn't eat. So I sat there while Maria gave half her food to me, when suddenly she asked me what I did to deserve the new scars, with a mouth full of nasty school lunch. I said solemnly, "I cleaned the house, but I guess not to her liking " Maria said sarcastically back "lol maybe if you knew how to clean you wouldn't have those" pointing at my covered up arms with her fork covered in macaroni. For some reason that irked me as I pulled away my arms from her sight and I didn't talk for the rest of the lunch period. Which was fine by Maria she just looked to her left and started talking to Lea.

After lunch was over it was 5th period , Lang. Arts. As I sat there with my earbuds in pretending to listen to her and not my music, I knew what she was teaching, easy stuff, but like always she caught me listening to music and then interrogated me in front of the class asking every question she could about the subject, I answered them all correctly . Then with a glare she told me to give my earbuds to her and listen. So I gave her my beat up old MP3 player Maria gave me for school, we like the same music, and sat there imagining him actually talking to me. 5th hour over now 6th and last hour, social, It was a TOTAL bore, besides the fact that he was there he sat right in front of me.
