Growing Alphas Prep School

Carrie’s POV

            I was enjoying Maximum Ride, sitting peacefully in my dorm. There was not any sound at all, other than other people quietly going through the dorm hallway. The book had hooked me in, and there was nothing that could have distracted me.

            “I brought presents!”

            Until that.

            Annoyed, I looked up to see that there was Onyx, standing in front of the door, with two shopping bags in her hand. Onyx walked to her desk, and put the bags on her desk.

            “Since I had to go shopping with Victoria and her friend, whatever her name was, she made me buy things that she thought looked good on me. From this, there is a lot of things here that I am donating to you. Unless, you aren’t a size one.” Onyx explained, taking the things out. Most of the things that she had were things that I knew for certain that she would not wear, knowing her. There were somethings in there that I knew that she probably might keep, but other than that she was probably not going to keep most of the things there,

            “I am a size one.” I said with a pang of guilt. In this school, being anything bigger than a size one was very frowned upon, and everyone that was a size zero, was envied by most people.

            Onyx sighed happily, and put a bunch of clothing onto my lap. The rest of the stuff on her desk in her closet. I took the stuff that she had placed on my lap, and walked into my closet. I put all of it onto one of the tables in the middle of the closet. There was a blue miniskirt, a pink blazer, black stilettos, white jeans with pink jewels, and a blue tee with flowers on it. All stuff that I knew that you could probably not pay enough for Onyx to wear.

            I put all of the things in my closet, and then quickly left. Onyx was there, sitting on her bed, with music playing, it was obviously from Rihanna, one of the only modern artists that I know of. Onyx then looked at, me and sighed.

            “Victoria and her friend really tick me off. All they talk about is how much they hate one person, and how much they hate that person. They talk about fashion, and they are homophobic. That there, really pissed me off.” Onyx then said all of a sudden, turning the music off. She did looked a little teed off, I wonder why something like that might piss her off.

            “It’s like, there is nothing wrong with people being lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Heck, I am bisexual, and there is nothing wrong with me. Then, when they said that you were, they sounded SO disgusted. I did not understand it at all. Wait….. are you actually bisexual?” Onyx then blabbered.

            “Yeah.” I answered miserably, hating this very thought, hating that I could not be normal like both my parents and everyone else wanted me to be, I also hate the fact that I was shunned by everyone for it.

            Then, it then finally hit me. Onyx was too, she had just admitted it, and I slightly liked her. Damn.

            “Why are so miserable?” Onyx asked.

            “How can you tell?” I asked, surprised.

            “I can tell these things.” Onyx said.

            I then, still layed on my bed, still a little unhappy. I stared at the ceiling, and attempted to erase my unhappiness. The only thing was, I was then distracted when Onyx then sat beside me. This was something unusual, Onyx really did not seem like the caring type of person. I guess I was wrong.

            “You know, that is nothing to be upset about.” Onyx said.

            “It is for me.” I sighed.

            “Why?” I looked at Onyx, and she looked a little annoyed.

            “Because, anyone like me, or you, if found out, gets ridiculed. I did not know this at first, but when I came out with it, everyone shunned me. I hated it, and if someone ever talks to me, they normally make fun of me or something like that. There are some people that are nice to me, but a lot of them hate me.” I explained, “I do not want you to tell anyone about you being the same as me. I really would not want for you to deal with the same stuff as I do.”

            Onyx nodded, and sighed.

            “Are all the people here seriously like that?” Onyx asked.

            I nodded, and then Onyx looked really teed, and sighed unhappily.

            “My mother really did send me hell.” Onyx said.

            I laughed.

            “What do you mean?” I asked.

            “Here, is hell.” Onyx explained, “Everyone here annoys me, and everything about this place, even the vibe annoys the shit out of me.”

            “I am used to it, so, I really don’t know your pain.” I said.

            “How long have you gone to schools like this?” Onyx asked.

            “Ever since the 6th grade.” I explained.

            Onyx nodded, and got off of the bed, and went back to her own, and turned the radio on, which was playing some singer of which I did not know of. Onyx hummed along, and soon fell to sleep.

            I just grabbed my book and went on reading, and pushed the day’s events in the back of mind. I also had that feeling, that this school year just might be a little bit interesting.
