Chapter 7: The cafeteria

It was lunch time and we were suppose to stay in the cafeteria but it was full of students. The school had over 2,000 students the café was huge. I took my lunch and went to the fireplace area out the doors of the café and down a stone path. Canopies hung over the area like kites in the sky. I ate alone it was nice, calm but the feeling flew away as I finished my sandwich. I felt my breath taken away from me. My eyesight was fading away as well.

When I woke up I was handing my math test back and was changed into a black thin dress and my hair was braided and laced with red ribbon. Math was my second last class I missed the rest of lunch and art class.

I sat relaxed. I looked around, Lucifer was to my left, Michael was to my right and Justice was in front of me. It choked me the thought of them hating each other. I look behind me and a guy I have not met before sat listening to music.

The rest of the class went by fast. I got a few glares from other girls and some guys even. When the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and headed to my locker. The feeling in my stomach hurt awkwardly. The voice in my head whispered "behind you, behind you my child, behind you." As I turn nobody was there, I was serious in front of me like a hundred of people, behind not a soul.

When I got to vocals Michael was sitting in the front middle sit proudly. Brett was sitting in the back left of the room. I started to walk to my favorite spot in the classroom, the back right when I was called by Michael and Mathew. "Sorry boys I have my own spot." I shrug and smile and sit in my spot and take my music notebook out and start write a song.

Don't come closer

I'm not afraid to fight

Stop calling me the loser

Even if I'm the one who is right

Stop calling this number

You're driving me crazy

Even when I am sent to slumber

I'm, not your little daisy

My name isn't Jane

I think I'm going insane

Please get out of my brain

I'm the lion and you're just my pathetic mane

The words just poured from my brain through the pen onto the piece of paper between my hands. Writing songs were always a breeze but finding the tempo and the chorus was the hardest part for me.

Vocal class was a breeze as usual after school I went down the road to a café called "Loco's cocoa". They had the best muffins and coffee around. I enter and the smell of fresh baked goods and cooking coffee hit my nose and woke my senses like lightning in a storm. "Alexandrea over here!" The voice was so similar I look up with a small shock, Tyson was sitting with his cousin Makenna and Mackenzie. Makenna and Mackenzie are twins who are a year or two older than me. I sit with them and their faces light up with excitement.

"Hey how are you guys? I haven't seen you since you left for Paris." The smile was real but it felt heavily plastered to my face. Their smiles were totally real they reached from one ear to the other.

"Girl you should have seen Paris it was absolutely adorable! We got you some clothes because... Well we all fit the same clothes. We got you three shirts. Two pair of high waisted pants, two skirts, a full piece bathing suit, a bikini,.... A casual dress, formal dress and a dress for the masquerade on Friday. You will love it, it also has a mask. You cant say no alright or you will make Kenzie cry. She chose the dress and tweaked it a bit." Makenna said slowly but her accent mad it sound like a hurricane.

Makenna was the clothes designer and Mackenzie is the accessory and hair stylist. They are perfect for each other. On the other hand they are total opposites that look so alike. Mackenzie is loud, chatty, naturally hyper, honest, sporty, and her favorite color is aquamarine. Makenna is shy, quiet, trustworthy, artistic, honest, and her favorite color is magenta.

"Alright I will come pick the clothes around eight tonight if that is alright?" My voice sounded like I was run over by a truck full of lies.

"What's the matter don't like girly clothes video queen?" Tyson cuts in and laughs so hard he starts snorting which makes all of us laugh.

"No it is just I have to try them on and see what goes with what... That is fun but boring." I sigh and lean back on the chair and take a deep breath. "I need my muffin." I get up and walk up to Lenny the regular worker smile at him and he grabs me a chocolate red velvet muffin for me and I give him the exact change.

When I turn to walk away and bump into a girl who was tall thin and a little scary looking. She looks at me and smirks then pushes past me. Her twisted smile sent shivers down my spine. I walk back to the table and we chat for about an hour and we all walk back to the dorms.
