"One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf police man heard the noise
Came and arrested the two dead boys
If you don't believe my story is true
Ask the blind man...
For he saw it too"
Mama recited the oxymoron to me to calm me during a storm. I've always been scared of loud noises like thunder. Since we live in Arkansas this happens quite often. Oxymorons such as this calms me because they make me think about the start and try to understand it, which takes my mind off the current situation.

"PIPER," The teacher yelled to wake me from my daydreams.
"Sorry miss," I said sheepishly as the class snickered.
I brushed my smooth caramel hair out of my face, desperately trying to make my hair look decent for the remainder of the day. The hours seemed to drag, but finally the bell rang and the bus took me back to my orphange.
My parents died in a car accident when I was younger, and no, don't feel sorry for me. I've gotten over. I mean it was 7 years ago. I'm 14 now.
We drove back to Star Feild Orphanage and they dropped me and two others off.
"Ugh! Must you ruin my day with your presence!" My daily torture, Olivia scoffed in an annoyed tone.
She has hated me from day one because she thought I was prettier than her. While I have hazel eyes, fair skin, and freckles. She has tanned skin, brown eyes and bleached blonde hair. To top it off, when she came here, two years ago, everyone loved me and was my friend, which only made her even more jealous.
She started becoming one of my close friends with me, until she knew all of my darkest secrets at the time. Then she made them twisted them to make me sound like a horrible person. She spread those rumors around and nearly got me expelled and sent off to boarding school. Now everyone is cautious around me. So NOW I'm and extrovert who has no friends, an outcast.
Finally I got fed with her witty little comments and I snapped! I turned around and yelled, "well technically you ruined my day! Not even that, my last two years, since you came after me, you used me, and you ruined my reputation! And all because of what?! Your insecure and jealous!?," I scoffed and rolled my eyes, "As if the justifies it! So NO why must you ruin my last few YEARS with your presence!"
I saw red at that moment and was fuming my fists clenched. Everyone around gasped and giggled at Olivia, with her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and her mouth dangling open. It was so hilarious and satisfying to finally lash out on her after alm that she has done to me.

(Future me: sadly, little did I know that I would probably never get to did this again.)
************************************
I guess Olivia was still in too much shock and disbelief to insult me much more. Later I ate dinner, did my homework, and read a little before trying to fall asleep, how ever something felt really off and I was getting really creepy vibes.
