"Who's that? The new girl? A new toy." He smirked while ending that atrocious sentence.

"Don't you have a life to work on?" she replied confidently. "What if I say that my life is you?" he raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin glued on his face...
"Okay! Let's meet some humans!" I mumbled, as my alarm went off.
6:15 A.M.
'Damn this school starts late!' I thought as I walked towards the bathroom only to see my swollen face. Again.
I got ready and put on an outfit appropriate for school.

"Darling! Come down and have your breakfast!" Margaret yelled from downstairs.
"Oh my god! What happened to you?! Why is you face swelled up?" she ran towards me, holding and inspecting any kind of bruise or infection. "Wait- Did you cry again?" She asked, making direct eye contact with me.
I nodded in response. "Well atleast put some makeup on! People will stare at you weird." she said, sitting next to me.
"I'm not applying any makeup cause I'm neither in the mood nor want to impress anybody." I said, annoyed that I'll have to drive to school with swollen face.
~~~~~~
"Alrighty! Bye darling! If you're in trouble, just call me!" She says as she kisses my forehead and unlocks the door. "Bye Margs!" I say her nickname that I gave her when she was babysitting me.
"Hey! Are you a newbie?" A random dude taps on my shoulder as soon as my aunt drove off. "Yeah! And you are..." I respond, with the fakest smile I could put on. "Arnold. Arnold Patel. Nice to meet you...." He says, forwarding his hand for a handshake. "Sherlin. Sherlin Thatcher. Nice to meet you too." I shake his hand and start walking towards the school entrance. "Hey! Hey! Let me give you a tour during recess?" He offered, walking beside me. "Okay!" I agree, happy that I made a friend so easily.
~~~~~~
"Alright class! I want to introduce you all to your new companion. Please introduce yourself." I was knocked out of my thoughts when the teacher ended her sentence. "Oh! Yeah. Hello everyone! I should let you know that I really don't care if you call me names but you wanna be my friend then it's Sherlin Thatcher for you. Thank you." I said, ending my statement with pathetic chuckle.
"Pretty weird name for a girl." a dude from the last seat blurted out. "Pretty weird face for a human being. But like I said! I don't care." I replied, sarcastically trying to break eye contact with him without looking pathetic.
"I guess we should start the class. Sherlin, please go sit beside Miroh. Miroh, please show her where you are." the teacher pleaded politely.
Damn she's so sweet
I thought as I looked for a direction towards a Miroh.
Him
The dipshit who commented on my name. He is Miroh.
I walk towards the seat beside him and sit. When I turn towards the board he says my name, "Sherlin Thatcher. Hmm. Interesting name. Don't change it when you get married.". "Like I want to." I roll my eyes. "Careful with the attitude, baby. I know alot of ways to make your eyes roll." I can hear the aggravating smirk in his voice.
What a jackass
~~~~~~
"And that's the basketball court. Don't go in there during the recess or after school, unless you have someone to fuck with." Arnold shrugged his shoulders, hands still in his pockets. I chuckled at his 'oh so casual' behaviour. "I guess I don't have a reason to go in ther- Oh my god. Are those moans I'm hearing?!" I whisper-yell to him. He nods in response.
Damn this is place is better than I thought.
"And the recess ends. Buh-bye. I have chemistry." I as soon as I was about to bye, I realized that I also have chemistry. "Me too!" I say, don't really know why I was excited.
Maybe because he is the second human being who has treated me like another human being.
We both were chatting while walking down the hall when I heard my name get called out on the PA.
"Miss Sherlin Thatcher, please arrive at the principle's office."
I pull out my phone and double click a button, with a heavy sigh. "Trouble on your first day? Damn I envy you!" He nudged my shoulder, kicking his feet a little. "I kinda don't know. I just wish they don't give me detention." I said, wishing she would arrive quickly before I got any further punishment.
I walk into the office, relieved when I saw my aunt already talking to the principle and the english teacher, Mrs. Ambrose. "Hey! C'mon sit here!" My aunt squealed, gesturing me to sit on the chair beside Mrs. Ambrose.
"What's going on?" I asked with visible confusion on my face. "Please don't be mad." Marg said, biting down on her lower lip like a child. "What did you do?" I said, seriously because I know that she always does something that is way out of my comfort zone.
"You write lovely books ,darling" as soon as Mrs. Ambrose ended that sentence, my eyes widen and looked at Margaret. "What did you do?!" I repeated the sentence but with different emotions that clearly writes the message that I know what she did.
"Well since you've told me that you wrote a book, I copy pasted it to my laptop and now I'm publishing it in your school. You know since you're living with me and this is going to be your new chapter in life! I'm trying to help you get out of your comfort zone!" She defended with a nervous smile, definetley knowing that she will surely get scolded for this at home.
"Darlin', if you let us and your aunt publish it; it'll be a great source of income for you. Since your aunt has told us your past. If you want, you can keep a pen name since you don't like the attention it may give it to you." Ms. Ambrose said, whilst politely holding my hand.
I took in a deep breathe and and said, "Okay! But I'm gonna take some time to come up with a pen name."
All of three of them cheered in unison.
I guess that's just the way things go~
