The Clueless Cutie (On Hold For lack of inspiration)

Ch. 1: The messed up start of my usual day

Jessica POV

I open my eyes. Darkness. Nothing new, my parents probably stole my lamp again. I look over and see my twin brothers, Erik and Virgil. They look so peaceful, but they were born into what goes on in this house.
I was here when things were different. Mom screaming her head of at dad, Dad's constant abuse of us and Mom, though mostly us. Things were different at one point, but I'm sure you don't want to hear my pity party. NO ONE does. Probably not even my friends, if I had any. I'm the outcast at my school, and I mean THE outcast. Everyone else has a place at school, so I get bullied a lot. Like, I don't know, five times a school day? And the weekends are no better. When I'm not being bullied by classmates, my parents (mostly dad) are bullyingme and my brothers. I sigh, get up, wincing as my feet stepped on broken glass. A beer bottle probably, dad sometimes throws them around, and Mom refuses to clean them up, so I'm always stuck doing it since I won't let my brothers anywhere NEAR broken glass. I open the curtains- one of the nicest things me and my brothers have- and see, yup, a broken glass bottle.

I sigh and go downstairs to get the broom and dust pan, but then as I pass my parent's room, the door swings open and hits me in the face, and I fall to the floor. My dad comes out with a baseball bat in hand and smacks me with it causing me to shriek in pain. "YoU LItLe *hic* BRAT! WhAT are U DOIn UP!? *HIC*
I sigh quietly. "I am going to get the broom and dust pan to clean up a beer bottle you left in our room before Erik or Virgil step on it.*I bet you're not even sorry you jerk*" I muttered that last bit, but he heard me anyway. "WHAT WAS ThAt yOU LItLe *hic* BRaT?!" "I-*sigh* nothing, father. May i go now?"   *grumblemumblemumblegrumble* "Ugh, Fine, but you better do your chores! ALL OF THEM!" I sigh. "Of course father, I wouldn't DREAM of not doing my chores!" *You'd probably beat me to death anyway* i thought to myself. Dad must have seen the look on my face, because he hit me twice in the gut, once with his bat, again with his fist. The air was knocked out of me and my all I could hear was a snap, but I must have screamed because Virgil came out of our room, looking terrified. I tried to speak, to tell him I was ok, but I couldn't beacause I couldn't beacause I was so out of breath. I barely managed a smile, I'm not even joking.
Once my dad leaves, I get my breath back, I get up and walk over to Virgil, and hug him and yes, even though my lungs are screaming at me not to, I learned to ignore what my body tells me long ago...

Time skip 2 hours

2 Hours and A LOT of chores later I finally finished mine AND my brothers chores, so I start to get my brothers ready for school. We don't go to the same school, which i'm glad of, because my brothers are 9 and in 4th grade while i'm in High School, the grades where the unfair judgment starts. Hoo-ray. No, NOT hooray. High school can go burn in hell for all I care, along with my dad! HONK! HONK! HONK! HONK! HONK! Huh? I look out the window and i see-JACKLYN?! MY OLD BESTIE THAT LEFT ME?! OOOOOH! She has some nerve coming back-wait. I see a sandy-blonde boy with icy blue eyes and a jet-black haired boy with the same eye color. The black haired kid went inside the house across the street while the blonde boy went up to Jacklyn's car and started talking to her. W-Who's THAT? I must have said that last part out loud, because the smarter of my two brothers, Erik, went up to the window and said, "it's a boy and Jakelyn, probably her boyfriend or friend. Why, you like him? That's not like you." I gasped when Erik said that, and my face went hot, but from what, I don't know.
"Why on this backally earth would I ever even talk to a friend of Jacklyn's, much less have a crush on one!"
"Mmhm, hate to tell you sis but your tone of voice says otherwise!~" I know what this heat is now:blush. I'm blushing, but why? My brother was now laughing uncontrolably. "Come on Erik, shut up before mom and dad hear you!" He instantly stopped laughing and looked down. "Sorry sissy." He mumbled. "It's no problem, really. Now remember to keep a smile on Virgil's face, okay?" I did my best to smile, which in case you haven't figured it out, I don't do often. "Okay sis, i will. Love you." He gives me a hug, which as he knows, makes me feel better every time, and walks out of our bathroom to go find Virgil, who's probably hiding in the closet right now. I don't blame him one bit, after all, i'd do it too if i could fit inside. I sigh, something i do a lot, and get dressed in a stained white shirt with a purple peace symbol on it, ripped jeans, and my usual dark purple sweater-hoodie with a chibi skull and crossbones on it, the last nice thing my dad ever bought me. I sigh again and brush my hair, leaving it down. I put my magenta mask on (Yes i'm making her dress like Aaron, plz deal and sorry if im souunding like a jerk) and sigh again pulling my hood up and pulling the little ropes on the sides to tighten it. The boys are probably long gone now, their teacher doesn't know about the abuse, so she yells at them when they're late. I sigh and think to myself, *I better get going too, or i'll get caught by amanda.* I shudder at the just the thought of that witch. Amanda is the main bully I face at school, and she's always finding ways to hurt me, though, given MY life, that's not very hard to do. I sigh, grab my backpack and purse with my mp3 player in it (All of which I bought with my own money I got from dogwalking and lawnmowing, by the way) and ran out the door past Jacklyn's car, ignoring Jacklyn's voice as she called out to me. "Don't talk to me Jacklyn." Was what I said as I walked away towards the pit of doom that is Phoenix High.

*Time skip to when at school*

I get to school right on time to see-A SANDY-BLONDE BOY WITH ICY BLUE EYES LOOKING STRAIGHT AT ME?! Okay Jess, be cool. Just walk right past him to your tree in back. He won't follow you there, and even if he does, he defienetly can't climb it. I sighed and started walking toward the back of the school, all eyes turning to me, people whispering, but I ignore it all and walk right past them, sand-hair's  eyes on me the whole time. I my tree in back and start running towards it. I'm only running because that's the only way to get to the first branch of my tree, not because I'm scared. It's an old oak, so it's very tall. I jump into the air and reach out  my arms, they catch onto the branch, and I pull myself up before I fall. Once i'm settled on the branch, I slowly take off my mask, then my hood, then put my hood back on. I start to sing my favorite  song, something I do strictly in my tree, where no one knows it's me. (cue music below)

When I finish the song, I hear a rough yet soothing voice coming from the trunk of the tree. "You have a beautiful singin voice."
