Chapter One: Pathway To School

The Earth was not a special place.

Its inhabitants were vile, malicious people who seemed to only care for themselves. They were two-faced, cold, heartless bastards with no sense of moral.

Bombs dropped everyday in the Middle East, rape and sexual assault cases skyrocketing in East Asia and Northern America, and poverty increasing rapidly in Africa. 

But, did anyone care for these problems? Did anyone stop to think 'Maybe . . . these people need help?'.  

And of course, the answer was no.

Because selfishness takes over the human body and makes others forget about the world around them. 

And slowly, but surely, all will drown because of it.

BBBBBRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!

Jolting from her bed, the young girl swiftly stood up and slammed her fist on top of her alarm. She could almost hear the device whimper from her abuse.

"A-Ah, I forgot today was Monday." The girl smacked her forehead in irritation, before rubbing her eyes and picking at the eye crust that was forming. Squinting, she looked at her beaten down alarm: 7:00am.

Her eyes widened in realization. "Shoot! I only have 15 minutes to get ready!"

Racing to the bathroom, the girl stripped and stepped into the shower. Scrubbing furiously, she cleaned herself, making sure she was squeaky clean. Before hopping out of the shower, she wrapped her body in a towel, and mental prepared herself to go back to her room freezing cold.

Scampering to her room, she grabbed a clean, brown-knitted sweater and worn out jeans.

By that time, it was 7:10.

"O-oh no! Damn it, I gotta hurry it up." She rushed to get her shoes on and quickly grabbed her backpack. Exiting her room, she ran down the steps, and quickly passed by her mother.

"Mama, I have to go to school now!" 

The woman looked up at her in surprise, before smiling. Handing the girl her lunch for the day, her mother pecked her on the forehead.

"Okay mi hija, stay safe. And don't forget to wear your glasses!" The girl smiled widely, hugging her mother tightly before running out the door.

Taking the thick framed glasses out of my bag, the girl held them in her hand. She then proceeded to sigh, placing the dorky eyewear on her face. Faint redness flowed in her cheeks, although with her dark complexion, no one would have noticed.

"I look like a cartoon character with these things on."

The girl frowned, before smacking herself like she had done previously. Walking fast, she entered the woods of her neighborhood. It was a short-cut to reach school, and fortunately only she knew about this. After being lost in the same woods after Jessica and her rat-like posse had tricked her on the first day of high school, she had managed to find the school while wandering around.

And, although the girl wanted to knock the brat out, she had to admit that she was grateful for being lost that day.

Passing the familiar oak tree with a carved heart, the girl knew she was close to school. Checking her watch, she realized that she had 10 minutes left, plenty of time to spare.

Maria~

She paused, whipping her head to the side. Had someone called her? Or was that her imagination?

"H-Hello? Is anyone there?"

There was nothing but silence. The girl gulped, her hands gripping the straps of her bag tightly. It felt like a scene she had seen in horror film, and she knew that if she didn't leave soon, something would have happened.

Running out of the forest, she has arrived at her destination. Out of breath, the girl slumped down to regain her strength. The final bell had rang for all students to enter the school building, just in time too.

As the students swarmed the building, she couldn't help but turn her head back at the forest once again. She felt uneasy all of the sudden, as if something was watching her from deep within the trees.

Shaking her head, the girl followed the other students' path, making her way to class.
