"What's your name, hun?" The red haired teacher looked down at me.

"My name?" I asked looking down. "My name."

"Yes your name dear. Come on now you must have a name." I could tell she was getting impatient.

"Midnight Blue." I looked up hoping she wasnt laughing.

I was wrong to hope. "Midnight Blue?! Oh my gosh! Thats not a name, that's a color. Now what is your name?" She had an amused smile in her face.

"I am not 5 years old. I am 15. I know what a color is. My name is and always has been Midnight Blue!" I took a step towards the teacher as everyone ooed and ahhed.

"Was your mother coocoo for coco puffs when she named you?" That one comment got my blood boiling.

"Midnight Blue was my mothers favorite color. She named me that before dying minutes after giving birth to me. So your question, was my mother coocoo for coco puffs when she named me? No she wasn't she was dying. Now may I go to my seat?" I was fighting back tears as i said this.

"Y...yes g...go ahead." She sputtered.

"Thank you very much." Turning on my heel i walked to my seat, head held high.

*************

I sat in my seat watching the teacher drone on and on about romeo and Juliet.

"Hey, my names Skylar," i turned my attention to the black haired boy next to me, "and... whoa you're eyes!" I looked at him with a confused face.

"What about my eyes?" I cocked my head slightly.

"They're really blue. Midnight, right?" He stuck his tan hand out.

I was so much more different than these people. I had shoulder length jet black hair and really bright blue eyes. My pale skin didn't help dull the color of them. I was about 5'2" and 110 pounds. I had curves that most girls hated and most guys dropped over.

"Yes, Midnight." I shook his hand with the most fake smile I could muster up.

Turning back to the teacher i realized the whole class including the teacher, were staring at me.

"Take a picture it'll last longer." I snapped causing them all to look away.

"Sorry Ms. Blue." The teacher muttered.

Today will being one hell if an adventure. I thought to myself.
