Eclipse
I go to school tired and clutch my books to me. I hope the day will be quiet. I walk down the hall quietly and as invisibly as possible. I'm not particularly popular and there's only one reason for that. I don't have much money and I barely finance my life myself. I don't have any parents anymore and at 18 I'm on my own.
I hear a few people laughing and look up. It's Xarmity and his people who are always with him. They are all rich and when I say rich I mean the real rich. I walk past them but am stopped. I carefully look at the person. It's Xarmity. Xarmity is tall, has white red hair, red eyes and only wears black and torn clothes and he is a little strange. He holds out a notebook to me and I look at him silently. He looks at me and continues to hold it out to me.
"Take it. It's yours. You said you needed one," he says and I take it quietly. "Uhm uh T...thank you," I say quietly. He goes with the others and I disappear into my lesson. Little by little the others arrive and the lesson begins. The lesson passes slowly and unfortunately I don't understand anything. "Miss Jones. Can you do the task?" he asks and I sigh.
"N...no, sir," I stutter and then hear laughter. "You really have to study. You won't pass the exam like that," says my teacher. I nod and look at my paper. The bell rings for break and I quickly leave. Unnoticed, I disappear into a quiet corner and light a joint. I don't have to spend any money on the drugs because I get them from a friend.
After every puff I become more relaxed and lose touch with reality. "Hey," I hear someone say and realize that it's Xarmity. He's been coming up to me more often for a while. "C...can I help you Xarmity?" I ask and he takes a deep breath. "No, forget it," he says and then leaves. I look after him confused and then go back inside. Hopefully the day will end soon.
