Taming Alice

"Shut up and take it like a man!" I shout to the stupid cowering 6th grade boy. Hehehe I love tormenting people, it's kind of like a hobby. Before I let the kid go I'm going to make sure he never forgets me!

"What's my name?!" I demand looking fierce and never backing down. It's always hard to keep eye contact with them because there eyes dart back and forth which always annoys me.

"Alice Mace..." he says weakly with eyes filled to the brim with tears, I roll my eyes at how weak people can be but I laugh anyways just to make him fear me. Using my hand motion I tell him to scat before I change my mind. Before he was out of sight Principle White comes out of nowhere oh great.... He sees the little boy running for his life and then he sees me, he puts two-and-two together and figures out why he's running. He gives me a death glare and I return it refusing to back down. He motions me to come to his office which for me is nothing new. But I just stand there tapping my foot not wanting to go feeling impatient with him today.

"Come here...NOW" he growls to me, apparently he's not feeling very patient too. Being rebellious me I stand there like an idiot. So, there he comes storming towards me with monstrous look and pulls me by the ear to his office.

" You know Mr.White you just had to ask nicely" his grip was strong and it hurt like hell but I didn't want him to know that. He just replied with a grunt ten seconds after I asked the question. Once we got to his office he shoved me into a chair and rolled me towards a full-length window.

"What do you see in the mirror Alice?" he asked gruffly while pointing to the mirror. Honestly I saw my normal self. My boring straight brown hair, my big doe brown eyes, full pink lips, and my curvy body. That wasn't the answer he's expecting obviously but I'll said it anyways.

" Hmmm.... I see my awesome self but as soon as I said it I almost regretted it...almost. His face turns as red as a tomato and screams at me to "GET OUT, I'm so sick and tired of you ALICE!" I exit his office slowly just to enjoy seeing him mad but he pushes me outside right into someone and closes the door, just like that. I stare at the guy I bumped into menacingly and to my surprise he does the same except he's taller and stronger which makes him look more powerful. This caught me by surprise of course so I flicked the guy off and left. He just rolled his eyes and went inside the office.

"I see you've met your match" Maddie Bickmen my best friend said immediately coming out of no where. I've known her since 3rd grade and next month we'll be turning 16 together since our birthday is one day apart. Ever since we've met she's been the the good girl while I have turned into a rebel, she didn't mind and always tried to keep me out of serious trouble. So I kind of have this soft spot for her and stick up for her when anybody trashes her which they'll never think of doing. But there's no reason to trash her she's absolutely gorgeous, she has blonde hair, blue eyes, and curves just like me.

"Hello?? Earth to Alice? Were you even listening to me?" Honestly I wasn't and I noticed I stopped walking after a while.

" Sorry Maddie I was just thinking about something..." I'm usually a good listener but today I'm sort of out of it. She just rolls her eyes and repeats what she has said before.

"I said that don't you think that guy you bumped into was cute? I mean he definitely works out and has a picture perfect face" she says while waggling her brows.

"Uhm I wasn't really looking at him when I was too busy trying to make him say sorry" When I first meet someone I try to make them bow down to me. I don't need friends I have Maddie so I like to scare the living crap out of anyone when I get the chance to. Maddie just rolls her eyes and leads me to the parking lot.

"Where are we going...? I ask curiously

"Not so fast..." I recognize that voice anywhere and it belongs to the fat-and-old Mr.White our principle. I hear Maddie squeak and scurried out of view, I had no idea what she was so afraid of. By the time the Principal caught up to me he was damp with sweat and panting, such a loser.

"Alice I spoke with one of my best students and he agreed to make you into a proper and fine young woman" he said this with such great pride as if it was going to work and all I could do was roll my eyes.

"....Right now?" I can't now I was going to go bully kids who hang out by the skate park, it was tradition!

" No not right now, you're going to start in two days and be prepared it won't be easy...for you" he muttered the last words to himself but I heard it loud and clear. Since he had nothing else to say I walked off leaving his prideful self alone. I don't know why he trys, if Maddie can't do it then he can't. I head over to the skate park which was only two blocks away and when I get there I see that it was full of kids...perfect.

"Yo midget give me your board or shall I take it" I grin evilly knowing that he won't refuse. But all of sudden I feel someone's hand on my shoulder. I whip around to see who dared to touch me and of course it was some high-schooler who thought he was tough enough to handle me.

"Hey, you shouldn't do that or you'll land in jail some day." He said this with a smug smile and realization hits me thats the same guy I flicked off earlier and once again he just knows how to piss me off.

"And who are you?! My moral mentor?!" I look fiercly at him almost daring him to back down and surprise surprise he doesn't. He doesn't even flich for godamn sakes!

"Actually I am, Alice" My mouth forms an O and I just look at him in surprise like he's talking gibberish. So I did what any sensible person would do and punched him right in the face.

"What the hell was that for?! Goddamn it I think you gave me a freaking black eye!!" I smile at him in victory and then turned around to the gaping kids gawking at us. I pushed them away and stole the kid I spoke to earlier skateboard. "B-But I got that for christmas..." he stammered.

"I dont fuc*king care" was all I said and flicked him off, I mount the board and took off. When I was a safe distance I looked back hesistantly. He was there staring at me in disbalief and dissapointment. He tried to tell me something but the words got lost in the wind. When I calmed down I noticed there was this funny feeling in my stomach, maybe I was just hungry. But I realized I felt bad for the guy, even though I don't his name. In my subconcious something kept on creeping into my mind, something I haven't thought of since my dad left us. Not since I turned tough to protect myself from ever getting hurt...and I didn't like it. As I was about to head home I hear a gruff voice say something.

"Put your hands up in the air and drop the skateboard" the voice reapeated. I did as I was told not really paying attention to what happening. As I was about to hit the man behind me I had a flashback about the time I was 8. A memory I would never forget...

"Daddy where are you going?" 8-year old me said. "Your Daddy is going to jail honey" the man in a police suit said. I started crying and crying for Dad. But of course they didn't listen to me and all Dad said was it's going to be ok. They read him his Miranda rights and cuffed him. I didn't know what he did wrong, I just knew big bad men were taking my daddy away from me. There I was helpless....

The next couple of events happen in a blur I didn't know what was happening, just remembering a police officer reading me my Miranda rights and putting me in a car. I was emotion-less and just stared out the window wondering whats going on. All I rememeber was feeling helpless....
