Just to find an escape.

I was awoken by a painful slap on my cheek. I opened my eyes to see my abusive father a.k.a. the devil himself. I apologized and went to take a shower. The hot water seemed so relaxing to (some) of my bruised skin.I got dressed in my outfit and combat boots. Going down the stairs, I spotted my sister and my mom who looked like...sluts. They dressed like all the other people in this town.

I got an apple from the kitchen and walked to school, enjoying the fresh air and nature. What can I say, you gotta' enjoy the small things in life. The walk was about 45 minutes and I was exhausted. When I arrived by the gates, my friends were waiting for me. I hugged each of them and we went on our way to the roof top.

The others smoked and so they did. I stood beside Sebastian whom had his arm wrapped around my waist. He wasn't technically my boyfriend, but he did tell me his feelings for me so it was kind of in between.

"What's botherin you today Scarlette?" I asked 

"Parents" She answered

"Again?" Matthew and Cody asked

She nodded

"They're going to have visitors later and they want me to look... normal" She gulped

"I guess normal means like a prep?" Seb asked in his brittish accent. Yes he was english, his parents were from London and his dad was promoted here.

"Yeah, and they said I should wear something other than black and I should not look like some vampire. I do not look like a vampire! That damn woman" She frowned

"You have red hair, with pale skin" I answered with a blank stare.

"Hey! It's not my fucking' faul-"

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the ghoulish team. Why don't all of you like just go scram to, like, your coffins?"  Someone cut in.

And there she was, Delilah, head cheerleader and head slut. She always wore pink booty shorts and a pink tank top with pink pumps which looked like 147892364916378538715mm to me. Ok, I was exaggerating about the length, but it looked like that to me.

Kelsie Nine, second head cheerleader, whispered something to Delilah, whom reluclantly agreed to something.

"Well, maybe ,like, except for Sebastian" She purred and put her hand on Seb's chest.

She had crossed the fucking line. My blood boiled with anger.But I covered it up with a sarcastic smile. Seb sent me a look that said help-me-i-cant-hit-a-girl-but-i-dont-like-what-shes-doing. I nodded over at him.

"Well, aren't ya'll happy chatting over there." I said in a fake Western accent

"Why yes we like are Chelsea! Jealous?" She smiled evilly

"Well, no. I just figured you needed a high five" I spoke

"Um... like sure?"

I returned to my normal voice "Well here's a high five, on the face with my fist" I punched her 

"Oww!"

"Hey! Why did you like just do that??!!" Kelsie shouted

 I swear, she says the word 'like' in every sentence.

I folded my arms and leaned on Sebastian's shoulder.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell rang. Saved by the bell.

***LUNCH***

I walked through the cafeteria doors and to our usuial table. I then sat down my usual seat beside Seb and we ate our food.

"Hi"  A small voice spoke

We turned around to see a girl, carrying her lunch tray.

"Yes?" I asked

"Can I sit here? Im new," She said with a small smile

"Um of course not" Scarlette said

It was obvious we didn't want her here. I mean she had a pink shirt on top and a pink skirt below.

"Thanks" She smiled and sat down beside Seb and I.

Sometimes, I feel like people were from another country. Understanding the word "no" was easy if your main language was english. I guess they wanted us to tell it to her in different languages.

"Hi my name's Reena. I'm a junior like all of you. Gosh, your name's Scarlette right? Yeah, I've heard of you. Your really pale. I love your hair. Yup! We could totally be bestfriends! I'll give you my number later. We could like, totally party together! Gee you guys are totally dark. Why do you wear so much dark stuff? .........." She babbled on and on and on and on

My eye was twitching terribly. 

"Well, it was nice to meet you Reena is it? But we don't really need another memb-" But I was cut off once again

"We could have all several number of parties! Slumber parties, club parties, dance parties or even dar-"

"Look, Reena. I don't have a better way to say this but please, two words, FUCK OFF" I shouted at her

"Well, sorry" She mumbled

I sighed, relieved she stopped babbling. She was going to be a headache.

Then, she started again "OMG your Sebastian right? Your so hot! Are you, like single or something??" Then she started hitting on him and hugging Seb.

"You have three seconds to get off Seb. One." She wasn't listening

"TWO" I said, gritting my teeth

Reena looked at me, with a scared expression

"Dont let me get to three."

She scooted farther away.

"Perfect." I said

"You worry too much." Seb chuckled and kissed me.
