Untouchable

Chapter 8 - You Are Too Kind

Author's Note:

Hello Again.

          I just would like to tell everyone of my awesome readers that the character may soon start giving out some offensive thoughts. If in any way it has offended you, I apologize in advance. But please don't forget that this is a fictional character with a lot of issues. I have to be realistic with how her thoughts are...and besides, I can't really control how she thinks.

             Also, I am pleased to inform you all that the previous chapters have been edited according to how I wanted them to be, and that quotes of Edgar Allan Poe have been added. I would also like to apologize for my delays in uploads. My goal, to be honest, was one update per week. But I got sick and then I had work and then I had review. Don't you just hate real life?? O.o 

           And lastly, please comment and vote if you like my story. Because honestly, I'm getting confused. My chapters are long because that's how I know it should be. But is it too long for you guys? Also, do you like the story so far?

xoxo Monique

P.P.S. I have figured out how to dedicate. My first chapters are now dedicated to the friends who have encouraged me to write this. XD

P.P.P.S. This chapter is dedicated to my awesome friend, @missvishi who is the reason why this chapter is entitled so.

      

Chapter 8 – You Are Too Kind

  

           "Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. "

           -Edgar Allan Poe

 

 

           I have seen so many movies and I have read so many books where the main characters were loners and misfits: people who were starving for affection and companionship, but were unfortunately doomed to wander the halls of the school, or whatever the setting was, by themselves for the rest of eternity.

           Actually, that's wrong. Some stories actually have a happy ending. This meant they usually end up meeting friends, or meeting the love of their life, and living happily ever after.

           But that's not what I want. I want the exact opposite. I want to be left alone. If I could give those people my life now in exchange for solitude, I would gladly hop on a plane to wherever they lived in, change my name, shave my hair off, and live happily ever after.

        
           But of course, the universe is always out to conspire against me. I never get what I want. In fact, I'm starting to wonder why I even think about what I want, when clearly the exact opposite always happens.

            "Oi Meg!"

           I didn't bother looking back. I'm sure we all have a clue as to which damnably annoying person was chasing after me now.

           See, I was currently hurrying away from the cafeteria, away from all those overly hormonal teenagers, and hurrying towards my locker.

           Shaking my wrist to bring out my watch that usually hid within my long sleeves, I glanced at the men's watch and noticed that the silver was starting to dull. I frowned at that and made a mental note to polish it when I got home. Checking the time now, I noticed I still had a lot of time to spare before the first bell rang.
