Twisted

The New Boy

"So what do you guys want to play?", Brittany said sitting down.

"We could play house, me and Michel can be the dadd's and you guys can be our daughters and have to do everything we say", Jake says pointing at Brittany and I.

"Hey, maybe Michel and I could be mommy and daddy, it would be fun", I knew the moment that came out of my mouth I was screwed.

"No way! That's gross, come on Jake and Michelle we are going to the park we don't play with breeders", she stuck up her nose.

"I am not a breeder", I tried to save myself before she told people I said that.

"Are too and I am telling the whole school", she snapped before skipping off with Michael and Jake.

I peeled my eyes open my eyes groaning, I remember that day, stupid californians can't keep their mouths shut. Thank god we moved to Vermont, people don't know here. I flip over my covers and slide out of bed. Peeking at my alarm clock I sigh, relieved I got up earlier today. Grabbing my clothes off the stool, I tiptoe to the bathroom silently closing the door behind me. I begin to strip off my clothes and throw them into the hamper. My hand slips in through the curtain of the shower turning on the cold water. I take a look in the mirror, no zits, no blemishes of any kind.

I hop in the shower jumping at the sudden contact of cold water against my once warm skin. Thats right, I take cold showers, warm water makes me uncomfortable. Stupid mother fucker, a spider makes it's way on top of the body wash. Take position, and...FIRE!, I throw my wash cloth at the bottle. The bottle falls and the spider swirls into the drain. Success. I jump out of my skin, my stupid brother, "hey hurry up!".

"Hey douche bag it's 6:10am", "oh sorry dude i thought it was seven", he stalks away grunting. I swear he's the most absent minded boy i've ever met. I dry off and slip on my clean clothes. Inspecting myself in the mirror, a loose black t shirt with a blue and black flannel over it, light blue skinny jeans and grey converse. This is as good as it gets, brushing out my wet strand of hair, brush my teeth, throwing on a few hand made bracelets and i'm good.

"Morning darling how'd you sleep", mother says pushing down the lever on the toaster.

"Good", mumbling is the only thing I can do, she doesn't really care. I grab my bag out of the chair closest to the door and walk out. I check my watch, motherfucker, 6:40.

Beep, beep, beep... I look to the source of the noise, a moving truck? Right the new neighbors, maybe they have ason around my age. Maybe he's cute...wait what the fuck am I thinking he's probably like everyone else straight as a donut. I sit on the sidewalk, pretending to play on my phone. Holy pickles and potatoes, a boy who looks to be the age of seventeen or so gets out of the passenger side of a two door, pale blue truck. Can I say heaven in a human body.

I stand straight up when a hand waves in my face, "hey are you an early riser too?", the boy asks me.

"Umm, yeah I just was umm, you know, umm", god what is wrong with me, it's ok angels don't judge.

"Hey are you my new neighbor?, oh wait that was stupid I saw you come out of your house never mind, do you walk to school?"

"Yeah, I uh, I prefer walking", I sound like an idiot.

"Sweet me too can you show me the way?", he ass so many questions.

"Yeah, sure", wow way to be blunt good job, gold freaking star.

I feel my face begin to heat up, he's probably figured it out by now. We head down the street, the school is ten blocks away.

"So, I never caught your name, i'm Marvel", he looks at me intently waiting for an answer that I know i'll mess up even though he's only asking my name.
