Welcome to Mourning Hall -Robin Gray's P.O.V.

The start

Ding Ding. "Ugh," I mumbled as I grabbed my phone to see who texted me. The phone was cold but I didn't mind. Holding it carefully so it wouldn't fall on my face, I looked to see who it was. It was from my friend Panic. It said,"Wake up call birdy.". I snorted, I didn't laugh like I used to if I was amused, I just snorted as a snarky way to show I was amused. Panic would text me early since I was to lazy for my own good. I woke up and got ready and tried my best to avoid my mother, too bad mother and monster aren't the same words.

One I was far from the cameras my mother had put around the house, I walked through the alleys to MHA, Mourning Hall Academy. Seriously who came up with these stupid names. At least this one made sense though, graveyards were everywhere. I saw my bestie, Panic run up to my other friend Rose. Normally I would be overprotective over Panic when it came to her being friends with other people but I knew Rose was one of the best friends ever. After all she did help me a lot.  They hugged and jumped and I just turned away.

I would have gone up to them but I liked being in the shadows.

I made our way back up to MHA and waited outside. MHA had "no money" yet they built "us" an expansion and forced us to wait outside and freeze our butts off. The tallest girl in 7th grate, Valentina Koshy came up to me. The moment she came, I was frozen still thinking about how messed up my life was. "Umm... Hello?!"

I turned around and looked at Valentina. She cautiously looked and me and asked, "Are you okay?" I Stared at her coldly. "Yea why wouldn't I be?" I snapped back. "I dunno you just seem out of it." She grumbled back. Normally I would be nice to Valentina but I didn't like it when people asked me if I was okay. I never was.

I walked into the school. I made sure it looked like I had no emotion and I scanned the room to see if it was safe. Room 306, Dr. Kelly's office. I looked through the small window to the office and knocked.

A kind face who I presume is Dr. Kelly opened the door. She said in a professional voice that I had been hearing for years, "Hello, your Robin Gray, I assume. I am Dr. Denise Kelly, and I will be assisting you this year." I was about to roll my eyes but logic stepped in and I sighed and put on my fake face so the doctor would ,see me has an actual human being, not one of those "troubled teens."

"Yea I'm Robin." I said putting my hand out to shake. Even though I didn't want to be here, I said,"it's nice to meet you Dr. Kelly."

I noticed how Dr. Kelly seemed a bit happier, it was like she lit up a bit. I smirked when she wasn't looking. I knew I was an amazing liar, I made people believe exactly what I wanted them to. I could already tell Dr. Kelly thought she had a chance with me but News Flash!, she doesn't.

As I noticed how she seemed to be bit happy with me, that's when the lightbulb in me that haven't lit up in a few years, turned on. I never thought that I could be anything more but that light that was blinking inside of me, that was hope. Maybe I wouldn't explode, maybe I could have friends that were unlike that ones that I had forced from my memory.

As I entered that room that were painted with a hideous beige (ew), the light inside of me, vanished, it just broke. As Dr. Kelly closed the door to room 306, I saw a familiar face that I didn't want to see, a face that I had tried so hard to lock away.

The face of Dustin Beckham.
