Prologue.
<<Four years ago, my life suddenly changed.
I was twelve at the time , a child who still needed to be looked after; I had dreams, hopes, ambitions with thoughts of discovering the world, so vast and big, with the help of my parents.>>
Taking a small pause to emphasize the dramatic outcome I continued :
<<But that wasn’t the case, especially not mine .
My parents were ripped from me in the most cruel way, and you know what ? I couldn’t do anything about it.
On that very same day I had to say goodbye to my seven year old brother who was grabbing onto my leg , crying , screaming not knowing what was going on.
That night, changed me into who I am today.>>
After reciting the script , with a blank and emotionless expression , I look into each one of their eyes.
With a fake grin I add << No need to be all upset and pitiful, you guys asked me , I only answered your question. By the way , I’m not a charity case>> and with that , I turn around, leaving them wide eyed and mouths touching the ground .
Nice way of starting your first day in your new school Ice , states a little voice in my head, You’ve made a hell of an impression ; In two hours time you’ll probably hear fifty different versions of your story and annoying rumours, oh and should I also add what a cold hearted bitch you are .
After a few seconds , I smirk to myself , nothing I haven’t heard or experienced before, I have to admit , I like causing a bit of trouble and making life a bit more entertaining .
But remember , continues a little voice in my head, you promised the old lady you’d try being less bitchy and reckless.
I sigh to myself , it’s going to be a hard mission to accomplish... I stand in front of my first period class, and without knocking I enter the room.
Twenty or so odd people are staring at me. I look at them with a bored expression and suddenly turn to the voice of an old man, with a long beard and brown suit who in a dull voice says << And you are?>>
<<Oh shit, I think I’m dead Are you Jesus ? Dude I never did believe in God, but I’m rethinking about it now. My name’s Ice Mystic by the way.>> Laughter suddenly erupts , whit the sudden realisation of what I’ve just said hits me.
The man suddenly goes red like a tomato. He narrows his eyes , and with a voice full of passionate hatred he tells me << Young lady , just because it’s your first day, I will let the recent events slide away, but at the next attempt , you will be put into detention ! >>
<< Be my guest >> I mutter and turn to sit at one of the desks at the end of the classroom .
During the course of the day , I don’t encounter any more troubles.
I ignore the annoying whispers of the people surrounding me , the glares from the popular ones(mainly girls) and the winks and whistles from the jocks.
I decide to grab something to eat and head outside , since the sun is shining .
Halfway through my slice of pizza , a guy and a girl suddenly appear , big smiles plastered on their faces.
<<Hi, my name’s Jay Hayes and this is Zara Garcia , I know it’s sudden but we thought you were really hilarious back in English and since you’ve just arrived we wanted to help you familiarize with the school and all>>
I stand up << Thanks but no thanks. I’m fine on my own, but if you have a cigarette I might take you guys up on the offer >> Knowing they probably don't smoke I decide it’s better to leave and not get involved. I walk away , but I hear the guy ,Jay, shuffling in his pockets,asking me to turn around, a pack of Red Marlboro come flying towards me .
I catch them . Damn I didn't expect that . Walking back over with a small smirk forming on my lips I state <<Well, I have no choice but to let you guys show me around the school, but I need to warn you that I’m not the best person to be around with>>
<<Don’t worry girl , we already like you , we don’t care about the hundred of rumours that are going around the school, and believe me, those rumours are pretty nasty >> Zara adds. I like them already.
That’s when I realise that maybe , being with these two , isn’t such a bad idea .
