Ms. Understood

It is strange how people start from a subtle, realistic character, to becoming a vicious, angry, horrifying monster. In this world, the people are all like monsters waiting for fresh meat to devour. Meat like Zella. She was ordinary once, though some girls might say otherwise. The dark brown, long, curly hair ,that kept her a little girly, was very attractive to most guys her age and higher. Her brown skin always had goosebumps, but she was never cold, ever. If anything, Zella was as cold-blooded as a snake. Zella's 5'9 tall appearance was, of corse, an intimidation to anyone who was two inches or shorter than her. This made Zella look older than she was. For a 15 year old girl to look like an 18 year old is dangerous, and misguiding to the eye. Her posture, although, had a bit of a slouching action and she liked that.

She also liked to skate with her guy friends, and afterwards get some cookie dough ice cream. Zella had a special way to eating cookie dough ice cream. First, she would take a big chunk of it and twirl it in the cup. She would then scrape all the ice cream off the spoon into the cup again that was bigger than her mouth was. She would put the whole spoonful of goodness in her mouth and slowly take it out, just as clean as it was before she had put any ice cream on it. This would repeat until the cup was fully clean, even if Zella was full or not. Zella thought nothing of this action before, and never really knew what it meant. Never once had she thought it was a nervous tick or an OCD, but only though of it as "Im just Zella, and that's the way it's always been." Though she thought of herself as a tomboy, she never thought of being an actual boy. One day was all it took. One day she met someone. Someone very special. Someone that holds her whole world. Someone she will fall in love with. His name was Destiny.

Being a 15 year old high school freshman is way more challenging than you think. Zella was not like any of the other girls at the school. The girls liked doing makeup tutorials in their bedroom. Zella liked writing songs in her song book and playing instruments. They went to the mall. She went to the skate park. Their favorite colors are anything you can find in a Victoria's Secret store. Her favorite colors are anything you find in Hot Topic. One day she was with her best friend, Marcus, at the movies. They were in the line for the new 'Star Trek' movie which they talked about seeing all year.

"Man, why didn't I go pee before I got in line?!" Said Marcus with a frustrated look on his face.

"Because you don't plan ahead! I on the other hand quickly went to the bathroom while you got the popcorn." Said Zella with a taunting smirk. She took out the water bottle she had in her bag. "I have such a big water bottle, and it would be a waste to not drink it all. How about we share it? We can take large gulps of it."

She finally got him to squirm.

"I'll be right back, save my spot!!" Marcus said running to the nearest men's bathroom. Zella laughed and took a handful of popcorn and shoved it in her mouth.

As Marcus came running back from the restroom, what seemed to be forever away, Zella spotted something. No, not something, someone! It was a boy. A boy she had surely seen before. She wasn't sure if it was from a dream, or déjà vu. His dark brown hair swayed out of his hood on his head. His structure was slanted. His eyes were a beautiful hazel-green combo. Zella could not take HER eyes off of him. As he walked past Marcus, that was running toward Zella, the mysterious boy gave Zella a wink and a smirk. It was as if to say "You know who I am. Just wait."

Marcus stared at Zella for a moment then finally said, "What the heck are you staring at?"

"Ha-have you seen th-that guy before?" Finally able to get some words but making her sound desperate and stupid.

"What guy are you talking about?!" said Marcus, seeming worried for his friend.

"The-the one who-..."

"THE DOORS ARE OPENING! HURRY, GET INSIDE BEFORE ALL THE GOOD SEATS ARE TAKEN!!" Marcus said with so much excitement, you would think he would have to pee again.

Zella finally turned around and headed towards the doors to the movie. She turned back around to see the guy again..... But he was gone.

Zella went in the movie, in awe and wonder, of how a person can look so beautiful!? Was he an angel? Was he a demon?

But she had a feeling this was not the last time she would see him. For this was not the end. In fact, this adventure has only just begun.
