Ghosts

Here we go, no more stalling, no more expulsions...You sigh as your earsplitting alarm seemingly rings indefinitely by your head. The comforting escape from reality that was sleep has come to an unsatisfying and sudden hiatus.

An exasperated sigh escapes you as you exit the comfort and security of your bed, which is lavishly decorated with your favorite plushes and pillows. You shuffle your way to the bathroom, the blanket still latched to you tightly, and lazily brush your teeth and freshen up.

It's a new day at a new school which means a new life and new beginnings. This is my very last chance at redemption.

Having lived independently for a while now, still barely in contact with your parents, you've let your temper and attitude get the better of you. To simply put, you've been expelled as a result of receiving your final disciplinary infraction at your old school. It was the principal's final straw with you but you decided you'd rather leave than take the school's shitty therapist, which was highly recommended due to your clear struggle to control your emotions, though, your freak-out was a little justified.

You had just about had it with all the annoying boys crowding you every day. They were completely enamored with you. You never really thought highly of your looks, though always knew you were much prettier than the rest, but never really comprehended just how pretty you actually were. Not to mention your body either. A majority of your admirers were just attracted to your features, a relatively large bosom, and larger-than-life glutes. You were "stacked" as they always disgustingly said.

Whilst wandering the grounds skipping class as per usual, a group of your most die-hard fans approached you, and with malicious intent. They always took their flirting and confessing to the next level, but this time they decided to make it their life mission to get you. As they cornered you, one tried to take advantage of your proximity by reaching for your butt. this was your breaking point and you ruthlessly punched him in the jaw. he fell to the ground and stayed there for a while as the group exchanged worried looks, wondering if they had gone too far. Even though they had backed off, you still weren't about to let them let what their friend did slide, so each suffered the same fate as their equally disturbing friend.

Whatever happened after was a blur, but all you know is that, after getting your life together, a school finally accepted you, and today was the first day. during this reminiscing, you jolt awake as the feeling of freezing water overcomes your face. Looking around, you notice a seemingly floating wet rag, though as you focus, you follow a long black arm to its body. It was your stand, finishing the job of freshening yourself up as you began to doze off mid-thought.

Your stand was the only real person, er, thing you thought of as a friend. You became quite accustomed to her presence, having acquired her at only 12 as a result of a tragic event. You smiled at her, a rare sight only seen by the stand, and took it from there, officially woken up by the cold water.

As you fixed up your new uniform and tried to make the school-issued shoes look decent, you took one last look at your apartment, taking in all of the memories. Well, it's not like I'm leaving, but damn, I should definitely not be this nervous. I've had my fair share of new schools, and my looks will surely get me some decent friends. You thought as you turned around and took the first step out the door and into your new chapter, your stand accompanying you to the first floor before disappearing.

As you strode your way into the fresh building, many heads turned in awe at the new sight. Girls whispered in obvious jealousy of your tidy hair and enlarged features, and boys were already in love. You hoped and prayed they weren't as insane as the last ones.

You wandered aimlessly until luckily stumbling across the office. As you stepped in, you could hear a loud commotion outside. You wandered to the window to check it out. The first thing that stood out to you was a large, burly man in all black that stood towering over a group of girls, which you noticed second. You concluded this as the classic popular boy with a bunch of annoying simps and quickly scoffed at their ridiculousness. By the looks of it, they probably only liked his muscles. He was not cute at all, though his face was in no clear view.
