I'm a survivor

Chapter Two

Rangers POV:

Once history class is over there is a quick break. I pull out the small packet of crackers I managed to grab before my dad threw the beer bottle.

I walk over to the field and sit under the big oak tree I sit under everyday.

"Hey slut, you lonely?"

Fred fakes crying and his followers laugh and keep following him over to the group of nerds to pick on them. but he never throws a punch at one of them, not once.

I open the packet and start to munch on the crackers, a small sparrow hops over to me. and turns its head to the side as if asking for some crackers.

I snap a corner off and throw it towards the sparrow, it flinches back a bit. probably not use to people giving it food. it slowly approaches the cracker and picks it up with its beak.

It looks over to me and nods it head once as a gesture of thanks, I stare at the bird in confusion. but before I could think properly it's already flown off.

I always wish that I was a bird, the ability to fly free. soaring through the sky at night and day. no worries well maybe the odd cat here and there. but a bird has no worries in life there is no judging or hate. just freedom.

My thoughts are interrupted when the bell signals the start of 3rd and 4th and 5th period. what do I have? oh yeah. top class art then top class math and finally top class geography.

I get up dust myself off and make my way to my locker. Once I'm there I open the door and place my books into the locker then close and make my way to art. my most favourite subject.

I walk in and take my usual seat in the front for a table to my self.

"Morning ranger! hope your well?"

"Yes I'm fine thank you for asking miss Braxton and your self?"

"Im lovely thank you for asking. I was looking at your art and noticed how uhmm, different from the others are to it."

"Uhmm you said to paint your emotions and that's exactly what I done miss Braxton"

"Oh yes I know, it's just so dark and the way that the dry brush technique is used against the dark background, makes it appear as if is dry blood. I was wondering what it means?"

"Oh yeah uhmm, well it's nothing really. just my imagination got the best of me I guess.." I force a smile on to my face.

"Well if you say so, if anything is wrong just tell me. don't hesitate okay?"

"Yeah.." only if they knew.

Miss Braxton is a young African American teacher. She has a light brown Afro and is 5'5 with chocolate brown eyes.

"Okay class today I just want you to complete your paintings and if use are finish. I want use to do a self portrait sketch and adding anything else that describes you or how it makes you who you are, remember this topic is called uniquely me! for a reason. okay well that's my little rant now get painting and sketching and raise your hand if you need help."

She smiles then starts to hand out every bodies art work, I receive mine first. she gives me a warm smile and continues on.

I look at what I've done, a black shadow that's crouching in a alley way hiding with dry blood all smeared across the walls. then people walking in a brighter environment looking happy completely unaware of the shadow in the alleyway.

I'm finish, so I grab a new sheet and start doing a self portrait.

******** skip to end of lesson *********

I place all my art supplies back into my school bag. and hand in my self portrait.

"Wow ranger this art is beautiful, I can't wait till you add colour. very beautifully detailed. well done."

" Thanks miss Braxton, have a good day." I smile but only small.

"You too dear."

I walk to math which flies by, because everyone in that class just acts like I don't exists.

Geography was decent, just a few paper balls and low blow comments. nothing major to really stress me.

Right now I'm heading over to the library to finish some of my homework. instead of taking your usual seven subjects, I was aloud to take extra subjects. I don't know why, I love learning. but I hate the people at this school who make my life hell. So here's my topics:

Science

History

Art

Math

Geography

English

Music

And the extras I take after school:

Photography, classical studies, computers, business studies and dance.

I take one of these subjects everyday. it's not that hard it's like an extra class at the end of the day and I love it. and I even joined fashion club. it's a lot but I can handle it.

I settle in my usual seat in the back and begin on my history homework then finish off some of my business too.

I know boring, but it'll get interesting soon!! until next chapter..
