Dots

New boy

*BEEP!!!!
My alarm screamed in my ear, taking me from my home and into sad reality. There is really no other why to describe it, it is simply sad, not tragic, or depressing just sad.  The simplicity of the word is why it is a sad day, not a terrible day. Because today is simple, and not happy due to the grey over head floating clouds, making the sun disappear.

I hopped put of my bed and picked a sweater off the ground, a t-shirt from the closet as well as some bleached jeans. I got dressed and put on my high top converse. I went down stairs and made myself a bowl of Lucky charms, I then ate it like anyone else would. Before I left I put my long white hair into a bun.  While I was waiting for the bus I noticed that I could see my breath. Also that my pale skin was turning red on the tip of my nose.

Finally the bus pulled up , when it stoped it opened the gates of the ride to hell. As I walked onto the loud bus the people already seated started poking me screaming dots, dots, dots until I got to my regular seat, the back bench. But today there was someone sitting there looking out the window. When I sat down he looked at me almost as though I was crazy. I quickly told him that this was my seat." M-mind if I j-j-join you"? He asked almost as though he was nervous to be around me. I shook my head and moved over to the other window.

The ride was half way over when we began talking.

"Why do they call you dots?"

I pulled up the green sleeve of my large sweater and showed him my left wrist...(the one with the dots on it) he nodded his head when he saw the 14 dots

"What are those?"

"Dots."

"Well I know that but why are there so many on your wrist?"

"It is only 14." I announced quietly still looking out the window at the forty air in the city.

"Still,what are they for?"

"Just something okay!"I yelled but I was still quiet enough so only he heard me.

"So your new here,  at least I am guessing. Anyway you will figure it out just as much as they have." I said pointing to everyone else as the bus stoped. He looked down as I picked up my blue backpack and walked away.
