My 'mate' [On HOLD]

Special Bus Ride

A slim, 5'4' girl, chestnut brown hair with golden-blonde streaks is laying on her bed wondering what ever happened to happily ever afters.... Oh yeah, that's me. My name is Alicia by the way. I'm in 10th grade and go to meadowbrook high. I've moved a lot due to the fact my mother is in the military. My father you ask?

Let's just say I've never had a father, nor fatherly figure.

"Ali, get your ass down here or your gonna miss the bus." A strong, firm, but yet sweet voice called from down the hall.

I take in a large gulp of air and release it. I hesitantly look at the mirror hanging on my wall, I clench my jaw together as a flashback flew into my mind when the sight of the scar that is roughly lining the side of my eye.

- I'm sitting on my bed. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rocked myself, sirens blaring and the earth shook, I heard nothing but ringing in my ears.

A pair of comforting hands yanked me off the bed, I screamed in reply and I began to flail my arms stopping soon as I realized it was my mother. Her face was red alike mine and I could feel the tears that had been trailing down her face but were no longer there.

I wrapped my arms tightly around her neck with loud wails and sobs and I felt her hand rub my back. I saw her mouth moving trying to comfort me.

A large rumble of what sounded like thunder was heard through the ringing in my ears and the earth shook, I heard mama scream something and then everything with black as I felt a sharp pain surging through face.

"Ali... ALI." I heard the words getting louder, there was a sharp pain in my entire head, cheek, and eye. I tried to open both eyes but only one seemed to allow the light from the sun and the glare of a peachy white wall.

"Thank the gods" I heard my mother say a little hint of fear in her voice. Feeling still a bit dizzy I opened my eye again, the light didn't bother me it was the pain in my head as I quickly drew my hand to my face and over the eye that seemed to be blank.

I whinned softly as I felt a smooth but rough bandage around my head, I began to scratch at it feircly wanting it off, not long after I felt large warm hands grab my smooth small ones, they sent a shock of warmth and comfort through me.

"Mama?" I whispered as I felt the smooth touch of her gentle lips press against my cheek. "Ali, its okay." She whispered-

Quickly I look away from the mirror and stood, grabbing a plain black hoddie that hung from my wordrobe and quickly threw it over my head and onto my back, holding it only by the hood.

The familiar tall slim, red headed woman, her cheeks smooth lightly dappled with brown freckles and a strong frame stood at the door with my bad in her hand." Come on you don't wanna miss school." She said and placed a kiss softly on my ugly scar like she always does.

I try pulling away and she backs up, I tried to smile but failed horribly and I ran out the door toward to bus stop. A large yellow-orange bus sat there it waiting until I got there. As I hopped into the bus I bowed my head thankfully to the driver.

"Miss Flake take your seat please." She asked nicely and I looked around, noticing I was the last to get on the bus they were almost full, the only avalible one was behind the diver and I sat.

I could see her give me a soft smile from the review mirror.

"Hey, were you get that mad scar from?"

It was a younger males shy voice from the seat horizontal from me, I look at him quickly drawing stands of long hair over it.

I could see that he clenched his jaws as I saw his cheeks harden. "I-im sorry, I just was curious." He said scooting to my seat.

I scooted closer to the window to give him space. "Hey, my name is Hunter." He said, his blue eyes stared into my brown ones I couldn't help but feel fluttering in my belly as I grabbed his outstretched hand

"M-my names Alicia, call me whatever you like." I say with a small smile, his black hair was flipped to the side so perfectly, like every stand had a job to do.

"Fine, how about CeeCee?" He asked. There was only one other kid who has ever called me that, his name was Ray he was a tall guy with sun drop blonde hair with hazel eyes, his cheeks were strong and defined, his chest was hard as a rock. Let's just say he seemed like a god from above

Hunter waved his hand in front of my drooling face, quickly snapping back to it I look at his soft unmarked cheeks then jaw.

"Is that nick name okay?" He asked like a third time until I finnaly shook my head in agreement.

He smiled and nudged me softly. "So what grade 'ya in?" He asked.

"T-tenth." I whispered.

I saw a wide smile grow on his face and his blue eyes sparked. "Me too, you and I may have the same classes." He said

I heard him take in a breath and he looked out the window, I felt something strange, my stomach clenched I had a discusting taste in my mouth. It tasted like vomit and I tried relaxing my shoulders but it failed and I ended up throwing my head against the seat in front of me and Hunter rubbed my back.

I got off the bus and made my way to the front of the building and into a room that was large and had two longs desks and a guy standing in the middle of the room
