She ran deeply into the night, to the darkest side of the alley, she was tending to darkness for help at this moment; because her life was at stake.

She ran deeply and came across places where poverty reared its ugly head. She was in so much trouble not just because she ran away from home, but because she ran far away from home. So apparently, even if she wanted help she wouldn't get it, cause she felt there was no one good enough in this filthy world that was able to do so.

As the foot stamps behind her got louder, it got more closer and she knew that was the end for her. She looked back and all she saw was a stone directed at the head of the person chasing her. "Hey!!!" she cried. She believed the person that did that was either a savior or someone attributing psychopathic behavior. It was a friend or a foe,she didn't know.

Her stalker fell to the ground and the dagger in his hand fell off. She was- Helpless.Insecure.Tearful and weak. She had been injured and hurt all over, she couldn't move anymore as she sighted a tall figure in the darkness picking up the dagger.

The figure moved closer to her and offered her help. She was shocked but she had nothing else to worry about. "What's your name?" the tall figure asked. In a shaky voice "I am--". Whack! on her back, another, then the third did as the first didn't fulfill its purpose.

"Ms. Deep-Sleeper, get ready for school!" Erica, the third child exclaimed in an extremely frustrated tone as she left the room.

"Oh please, who's the one to be frustrated or annoyed?" Iris thought as she rolled her eyes.

Oh well, let's get to the intro. Iris is one of the smartest students in her school. She frequently represents her school for chess tournaments or sporting activities, debates and many many more. She's in the eleventh grade and she's 16 years old. She is always proud of herself, but she is disciplined. She is an ambivert and this may sound funny, but she's afraid of people,so she didn't relate "too" much. She always didn't fail,not just because she'd get laughed at,but failure wasn't a possibility at all for her.

She wouldn't say she hates time, because it often reminded her how little life remained and that it was up to her to make it sweet_in the right sense. So she often had to achieve a lot of things without procrastinating. She loved blue and she was into sports most especially volleyball and basketball. She kept a book of quotes and music was her number one. Oh well there's a lot more about her personality that time would tell.

Hehe, how cheesy is that?

She quickly got up from the bed and hurriedly but carefully laid it,she did some stretches,washed up and got dressed. She was truly beautiful with light pale skin tone, but she didn't want to admit that. She was in a royal blue full skirt dress and wore a blue flat shoe to go along;and after that,she ponytailed her full brown hair and pinned it. Although she is from a rich family,she tries to always be modest.

Grabbing her bag and running downstairs to the dining room was what she did as the smell of cake filled her nose,what?! cake this morning,what was the occasion?

She took her portion of the cake as it was for the occasion of resuming back to school. She could remember wanting to yell at Erica for calling her a foodie,but bleh! who got time for kids these days.

She got in her elder brother's car,he recently finished high school and was planning on flying out to Columbia for college,but it's all a long process,cause he got scholarships from lots of colleges, so he's still at home with them now,just for the moment. She could say she hated him anyways. Ha! he was always trying to act perfect. As she settled in she forgot that the two most annoying siblings anyone could ever get were also in the car with her and they've started blabbering.
