I began to ponder about my excistince on this earth. When everywhere I go, someone is trying to kill me or people get killed along the way. I guess that is just life. And if that's life, life had better not screw me over.
As my grandmother and I seem to drive down the endless highway, none of us had spoke up, and I dare not repeat the text that was sent to me by Snake. I wonder went one in that elderly head of hers. My grandmother begans to slow down, very steadily, she moves off of the exit ramp marked, New Dina, Indiana. Just a other rouge, small, farming town slightly smaller than the town I used to live in, Burrowsville, Ohio. home to world's largest cat population. That's something my town looked at that was good. I looked at it as an embarrassment. I'm out of that dump now, thank God, and headed for my new life, in New Dina, Indiana.
The new house we had moved into was extravagant! I asked my grandmother, "How can we afford this? We just left our house, abandoned, with most of our things left". My grandmother answered with one of the most humorous things she has said. "honey, grandpa left us a frickin' goldmine, we can afford this stuff. I laughed heartily, and continued to move our possessions into the house. The house was very open, it reminded me of a open field, that I can run through without any restrictions. Where there is no such thing as death, or Snake. But no, that can't happen. Life sucks. "So, I'm going to get on the internet and find us a furniture store, a cable store, and register you into school for next week" my grandmother had said. My heart stopped, I became so timid. The last time I went to school was right before I came home to my parents slaughtered. That was also the day when Karson broke up with me. Man! My life does suck worse than I thought! I spoke up, with my voice timid and still. "Grandma? Do I have to go back?" I sounded like a 9 year old girl begging to stay up for one more hour. "Yes sweetie. I don't care if you are dead, alive, or working a Chippy's. (Chippy's was the strip bar my grandpa used to go to when grandma wasn't in town. He thought she didn't know, but when she figured out, excuse my language, all hell broke loose in Burrowsville, Ohio that day.) You are going to school!" I finally gave up my 9 year old begging and agreed to go to school. I venture the rest of the ginormous house. Besides the going to school thing, grandma said I could have parties since the house was so big. At least I have that to look forward to. I go into the dining room, and it reminds me of something from a princess movie. In my mind, I was thinking of what my parents would think of this house. I didn't realize it, but I tear begins to stumble along my face, skimming the small bumps of acne that I have. My grandmother walks in and startles me. She whispers to me as she's holding me, "you know, it was exactly a month ago when they were murdered. Oh, your mother loved you so much, and you resemble her, not only in looks, but in heart". I begin to smile, knowing that my grandmother is right. And right at that moment, I could feel my mother looking down on me, with my father by her side, and my grandpa to her left, smiling, knowing that she loves me.
Later that night, I lay down on my bed, reading one of my favorite books, Stephen King's "it" when I hear something inside my empty closet. It sounded like laughing. I walk over to my closet, my body chilled with fear. I open it. Inside I find my mother cutting her own neck as the blood poured out of her neck like an overflowing bathtub. She's laughing, and she looks at me and says "Hi honey, I love you so much!" I scream. She bends down to hug me and her head falls off as her lifeless corpse falls to the floor. My feet, ankles, and lower part of my legs are covered in her light blood. As the watery blood drains out on to my my snow-white carpet. The next thing that happens will be stuck forever in my head. Her head turns over facing up, with out anyone touching it, and black widow spiders crawl out of her mouth, covered in her saliva, then a millipede begins to eat their way out of her eyes. She talks saying " Hi honey, I love you" constantly like a broken or scratched record. After I look up, Snake is standing there, with his evil hazel eyes. He smirks, and says "Hi honey, I love you." He takes the knife that my mother just committed suicide with and stabbed me, right into my eye. I felt the sharp metallic knife puncture my brain. When he pulls it out, I could hear the scraping of the blade against my skull. I realized I was still alive, still feeling every little shred of pain peeling away at my emotions. And the last thing he says to me is "Hi honey, I frickin' hate you." That is when I woke up and realized it was Monday. And of course, my head hurts, what a coincidence.
I walk into my new school, feeling confident, and yet scared. I was put in Mrs. Cammy's class. My homeroom is biology. Great. What 7th grade class has biology anyways? "Alright class, this is our new student, Destiny Calloway." Everyone is staring at me like I'm some animal. I really want to shout "Aye! What da hell you be lookin' at!?" Sadly, I had to control myself. Oh darn. I sit next to a girl named Tabitha Winston. She plays rugby and loves Lady Gaga. My type of friend. "Hey, my name is Tabitha" she spoke up. She seemed really casual, which is better than the preps, who are nice to you in the beginning, but then they turn out to be evil. I could tell, this will be a fun day.
By the time at lunch, I had already meet half of my homeroom class. There is Jayme Richards, who is the sport girl. Bryan LaPrade, who was friend's with everyone. Jeana Wikker, the whole school seemed to hate her, but she is actually really nice. And Hope Winston, Tabitha's sister. She was kind of the second banana, she always wasn't enough for everyone around her. At the end of 5th period, this guy kept staring at me. The mysterious person who was watching me like a hawk finally came up to me. "Hey, my name is Jakub Lyerson, you new here?" I was shocked, jaw dropped. He wasn't "hot" like everyone says, to me, in my eyes, he was beautiful. Ye-ye-Yea, I'm new, my name's Destiny. I felt like an idiot. "Cool, my name is Jakub,maybe we can hang sometime, you seem pretty cool." He laughed and left. He turned back once and waved at me. This was defiantly a #1 on my list of best days.
