"Lucy! Honey, it's time for you to get up!" Aunt Kathleen calls from downstairs.
I groan and throw back the covers, frowning.
I can't anymore. School is going to kill me. Everyone thinks I'm a freak and avoids me. I have no friends. The teachers fear me, treating me like the villain everyone believes I am. I try hard to change everyone's opinion, to show them that I'm not bad, but it never works.
"Umm...yeah...I'm up!" I yell in a shaky voice.
I pry myself from my bed and wipe the couple of tears and sleep that have escaped my eyes. 'Maybe today will different' I think. Of course as many times as I have told myself this it has never happened. I don't even know why I bother.
I stuff my feet inside my dark purple, fluffy slippers and head for the bathroom. When I get in there, I pull my bright green hair from its messy nighttime bun.
"I see why people fear me." I sigh. I tell myself this all the time, but this is true. My look is unlike any other. With bleached white skin like both my parents, sky blue eyes like my mother, and neon green hair like my father, I look exactly how people expect me to. I am the perfect cross between the Joker and Harley Quinn, my parents.
I shake my head, clearing the thoughts, and prepare for the day. I quickly brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I dress in my familiar Gotham Academy uniform. Finally, I brush my green locks back into a high ponytail and apply some makeup.
"Lucy, hurry up!" Aunt Kathleen says as I smooth out my blazer.
"Coming!" I say.
I quickly pull on my high tops and grab my backpack. I take one more glance around my room, then walk downstairs.
Aunt Kathleen smiles at me as I step off the last stair.
"Good Morning." She chirps.
I nod in her direction. I grab an apple to eat.
"Bye, Aunt Kathleen." I say, walking out the door.
"Oh, Lucy wai-" That's all I hear before the door closes.
I begin walking to school, eating my apple. As I walk, I think more and more about how awful this day will be. Suddenly, I don't feel like going to school. 'Why not just ditch, it wouldn't be the first time' I suggest to myself. I steer off my normal path and walk down some dark alley.
"At least here no one can laugh at me." I wipe away a stray tear and continue my lonely walk.
