midnight eyes

green eyed ghost

I managed to make it home with the help of Louis guiding me home. "Hey, Scarlett, wt'sup with the glasses?" My mom asked from somewhere in the house. "Just the new style, everyone's wearing them." I sarcastically excused myself. "Well you're inside and no-one's around to see them but your sister, and I don't think she cares." "Tris doesn't care about anything but her phone and her boyfriend." I stumbled to the stairs and crawled from there to my room. Once I got inside, I found myself curling up under my bed. "I like your room." She uttered joyfully. "Wish I could still see my room." I mumbled under my breath. "No need to be like that." "Where did you used to live?" I changed the subject. "The outskirts of New York. Believe it or not, it was a house really close to the Amityville horror house." 'Crap, I live in a state over from New York.' I crawled out from under the bed and stumbled to my desk mirror. I removed my glasses to realize that I can actually see two things, Louis and myself. I could see my own empty eyesockets, I was staring into my own soul. It was cold and dark and like staring into hell. I was terrified, so I quickly put on the glasses and clamped my empty eyes together as tightly as I could. I fell asleep to a lullaby Louis managed to get stuck in her head befor she died. She mentioned how her mother sang it to her night after night when she was young. When she cried out that she was tired and hungry, her mother would sing it to her until she finally died laying next to the door and listening to the lullaby.

'Beep beep beep!!!!!!!' My alarm went off and I opened my eyes forgetting for a moment that I couldn't see, but I quickly remembered and punched the wall. Im not proud of it because it really hurt. "Ignorant child, don't you know not to punch things that can hurt you back?" I ignored her and got ready for school with constant guidance from Louis. I slipped on the glasses and walked downstairs to the kitchen where I could always find my family of hungry savages gorging themselves with any food they can get their grubby paws on. "Heeey Scarlett! You hungry for something or can I have all your food?" "Tris, let your sister eat her own food." My mom barked at my sister. "No no, im not hungry. I think I'm just going to head to school." "Ok hun, have a nice day." My mother mumbled before taking a big gulp of her cofee. I stumbled off to school and found my way to my real friends. "Hey scar, what's up with the glasses, you get a black eye or something?" My buddy Ashley who had the weirdest and most beautiful purple eyes, approached me and sat down on the outside bench next to me. All my friends called me Scar, not because my name is Scarlett, but because I'm thought of as the manipulative and unsightly scar on the back of this school. Ever since I first arrived at this school, my mission has been to get to the top of the school chain so I can dethrone the queen bee and give the freaks and those who stand out a chance to run this school for the better. First I have to befriend the popular, then I can work from the inside out. "You could say it gave me a scar." I winked at the stupid remark. She laughed and tripped me so I'd sit down next to her. We have a strange and mildly abusive friendship, but it's all good cause we're just messing around and no-one ever gets hurt.

I managed to get half way through the day happily, then Courtney and her gang of rats' showed up and ruined everything...
