My long golden brown hair cascades down my back as I wash it, my fingers get tangled as I try to tame my hair with conditioner.I haven't cut my hair in seven years and it's on the verge of going past my derrière (butt), as I finish rinsing my hair I notice that my hair is becoming brittle I slid the old Gray shower curtain to this side. As I step out of the shower I stare at my reflection, it's become a habit. I just don't understand why someone would do this to there child.I look like a monster. I don't understand why people tell me I'm beautiful, I look like something children would have nightmares about. I stare into my un-naturally green eyes that have specs of gold and purple in them due to the chemicals that were injected into my body as a child. These chemicals keep my skin from repairing it's self or worse falling completely off.
"Brit! Get your ass out of the bathroom, your not the only one that has to shower!"
Oh how I love my best friend.
"I'll be out in a second I have to wash my face!" Sometimes I wish I didn't share a room with skylar, but then I remember I hate everyone else in this stupid laboratory. Oh wait I forgot it's not a laboratory it's and special place for Us special people to be helped. Oh government your such a lie.
"Britt I swear to god if you don't get your ass out of there right now I'm gonna burn every signal poster on your fucking wall!" I open the door in record speed my posters are my sanity, without them I don't think I could survive. I stare at my friends flaming red hair, it makes her hazel eyes stand out. I notice her freckles are getting harder and harder to see lately. I watch my friend limp and walk as best she can to the bathroom, I notice something different about her leg.
"Sky, come here a sec." As she walked over I noticed it again. "When was the last time you checked the wires ?" What I noticed was the phone was playing a video, but that's not what is supposed to happen when she's moving the phone is supposed to shut down so it doesn't fry the mother bored, and electrocute her.
"about a month ago, why what's up Brit?" As she examined her leg I noticed the tattoo she has. She won't tell me what it is and why she has it she completely avoids anything that may lead to that conversation.
" Just check the wiring the phone was on well you were walking, don't want a repeat of last time." The last time sky forgot to check the wires she had a electrical current induced attack much like a heart attack, except much more dangerous, every organ in the body works at an un natural speed.
"yea we defenitly would not like to re live you being rushed to the emergency room and having to talk to people other then you and Tyler." Tyler is sky's boyfriend and he's so cool he's like a guy version of me. Funny, geeky, loves music, understands the difference in between a 6B and 6H pencils and by far is the hottest guy I have ever seen. Sometimes I wish he was my boyfriend, but I know it will never happen cause him and sky are happily in love.
I stared at sky as she walked out of the shower she was truly beautiful, why would anyone want to do that to her.
"Sky if you don't quit your starring I'm gonna request a new bunk mate, your starting to creep me out." As I turn my head I mutter a quick apology.
"you know today is the day we have to socialize with the other kids, right?" As soon as Sky said this I was freaking out. I by far was the ugliest of all the kids and hated having to talk to them I have two friends, sky and Tyler. They are the only people I like to talk to. But of course there's today where I have to socialize with everyone.
I now move to my dresser to start getting ready as best I could. There not much you can do with half a face. I pull my long ratty hair into a messy bun and swipe on some mascara. As I turn to leave my small dresser I notice sky is doing some extra makeup that she doesn't normally do for the social.
"What's with the fancy make up?" Sky had gone full out cover up, foundation I even think she tried to contour.
"I just haven't seen Tyler in a little and I want to wow him." Sky continued to put on more makeup after she was done with her hasty excuse. As I wait for sky to finish I pull on a black t-shirt, my favourite cardigan and a pair of burgundy leggings. I look up at sky to she she's already dressed and ready.
"Are you ready to go?" we ask in unison. We laugh a little and start heading down the hall. In order to get to the area where the social is healed we have to walk for about ten minutes down long metal corridors with nothing but lamps over head lighting up the hall.
As we enter the mess hall where the social is held I notice a few new people. There are two new girls and three new guys. I dont notice anything wrong with them yet I might add. As I stare at the new comers, I make eye contact with the third boy I stare into the purple orbs
That stare back. I was the first to look away I was distracted by the tattoo he had on his neck it was a butterfly. As I look at him more his blonde hair starts to get closer and I don't understand it at first, till I'm standing in front of this giant of I guy staring down at me intently.
"hello, my name is zac. And you are?" Zac that was his name his voice is so low and thick he also has a slight English accent,hot.
"Hi, umm I'm Brit and this is my friend sky" I gesture towards sky who is slightly behind me star stuck at how hot this guy is.
"um I was wondering if you would show me around?" HE ASKED ME TO SHOW HIM AROUND!
" Umm, sure." I breathed a sigh of relief I didn't say anything stupid.
"thanks, so where too first?" That's a good question where do I take him first? I guess I should start with his room and how to get to all the main areas we bust on a regular basis.
"What room number are you?" As I waited for a response zac pulled out a small paper. Witch I assume has his room number on it.
"umm, this says I take residence in room 224B sector 1?" This cant be right that's one room away from mine and sky's.
" Yea that's right down the hall from me and my friend. Just follow me I'll show you everywhere you will need to go.We walk down the halls that I've memorized over the years. I notice zac keeps opening and closing his mouth like he's going to say something. " what happened to you?"
