The Work of a Maniac

New Life

I quickly sit up as the sound of blood curtailing screams slowly fade away. "Ugh, another nightmare" I say to my self softly, as I check to see if I woke up my stepsister Crystal. I turn to look at my clock to see that I have 30 minutes till school starts. I jolt out of my bed, and run to the bathroom. Once I'm done, I open the shower curtain to see a ugly, teal shirt. Teal is officially my least favorite color, it just goes so bad with my skin tone. When I finally get situated, I turn to see that I have 15 minutes so I decided to read my favorite manga.

When we pull into school, I feel as if I could faint from fear. "Mom?" I say as I keep face face hidden in my jacket, "what?" She says as if answering is such a pain, "what if I can't do it, what if I don't make friends?" I say with my head still hidden in my jacket. "Suck it up kiddo this will be your school for the next eight months." Once we get out of the car, the first thing I noticed was that I didn't look like them, they are all blonde with blue eyes, or a red head. Me compared to them I look like a homeless person, with my wild curly hair, tan skin, and brown eyes. As I sit in the office, waiting for the lady to give me my schedule I notice that everyone that comes in to the office, stares at me as if I'm a red dot in a sea of blue. As I drift off into my thoughts, a lanky young lady stands in front of me with the biggest smile I've ever seen in my life, and she holds out a piece of paper and says "here's your schedule, and welcome to Indian Ridge Middle School" she says as this alarm loud enough to make you jump out of your own skin. I walk out of the office to see this ocean of kids heading straight towards me "oh boy, this is going to be some interesting eight months."
