OutCast No Longer(India westbrooks)

Chapter 1

Beep beep beep,was all I could hear,when my alarm went off."Ugh,why do you choose to go off now?" I mumbled,rolling out of bed at the same time.Another bullshit day of school,and more bullies to pick at me.I scrambled to my feet,half awake as usual.What the hell should I wear today,better yet,what's not gonna make me stand out?Maybe something simple today,Like every other day.

I snatched at shirt from my closet,nearly ripping it and some skinny jeans from my drawer.i jumped into the shower soon after,no time to waste at all.I let the water just flow for a few minutes,then I finished what I needed to do.My hair wasn't the hard part at all,all I needed to do was comb through it.taking one last glance into the bathroom mirror,I dashed down the steps,a sliding on my flats and grabbing my backpack at the same time.

I was out the door,with no time to lose.I walked to school everyday,only to avoid the juice heads and the girls who wear clothes way to tight for their damn bodies. I didn't have a car yet,daddy said he would get me one,but with the way our bank account is set up,that's not happening.I'm a 16,year old girl who doesn't have a car yet.Almost everyone I went to school with had one,no me though.You see,I'm the outcast of the WHOLE fucking school,yup Tiana Nicole.

I counted each side walk square I stepped on,just to pass time as I walked to school.1,2,3,4,5,6...........Oooooooof,I just tripped over my own foot,what a clumsy person I am. I brushed off my jeans and stood back up,walking like nothing happened.Soon the school came in to view,just what I needed.Taking a deep breath,I picked up the the speed.Even though I walk to school everyday,I have never been late and I wasn't going to start now.

A few more steps and I was already at the school steps,all eyes were on me.I don't mean that in a good way,they all give me that same "She's a freak" look and I have always hated it.Why couldn't I be left alone for one damn day?All I know is,it is what it is.I just put my head down and carried on,acting as if no one was at school but me.Maybe they would just leave me alone if I didn't fall or speak today,just maybe?

Without making any eye contact or falling,I went to first period.No,I don't have any friends to sit next to or talk to.Yes,I sit alone because no one wants to talk to a girl like me at all. I'm not a mean person or anything,I don't even know how I became the freak of the school. I wonder what the story behind it is,it's probably because I don't have anything fancy or cool like the other kids. I always come in sneakers and shirts,never any heels or dresses. My hair is always a normal hair style,never a exotic color or anything. It's either in a ponytail,bun or down. I'm not an exciting person at all.

I'm going to have to figure out how I became The Freak ,maybe I could play dress up and be someone else to find out. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the teacher screaming at me to leave because class was over.Ugh,wasn't that nice,like I said,same shit,just a different day.Next class period I went like the one before,slow and me deep in thought.

I went to third period with my head down,third period is the rowdiest of them all because it's the middle period. There are only five periods,unlike other schools who have like seven.I didn't make it in the classroom instead, I bumped into one of the hottest guys in school.

I know I know,why am I freaking out about it?Like I said,he is the hottest guy,with a girlfriend who is the biggest bitch I have ever known.His name is Nick Bartousky,with his hazel eyes and big pink lips,and his caramel skin and low cut faded hair.I mean he's a nice guy,it's just his girlfriend you have to avoid.Miranda Eva,she's a rude ass blonde chick, perfect pink skin,unlike my light mocha oily skin.Even breathing next to him is a hazard.

"I'm sorry, I-I wasn't looking where I was going." I was never really good at talking to boys,especially one that I liked."Nah,you're cool,it was my fault." He was a lot smoother at talking than I was."Are you sure,I could uh,give you my lunch money." I didn't want any trouble at all."Why would I take your lunch money?" He raised his eyebrows at me."I thought that maybe.........it's just that.......everyone does it and I thought you would too?" My eyes started to burn,please don't cry now.

"You have to remember that not everyone is alike girl,I said you were good." With that,he walked away and left me standing in the middle of the hallway,confused.My confusion was cut short by the sound of a voice I knew all to well."What were you doing?" Miranda screeched."I was talking,like regular people do." I knew this was coming the minute me and Nick exchanged words.

"No shit Sherlock,it's who you were talking to that's pissed me off." She flipped her hair,typical."Oh you're upset,I didn't notice,let me take a minute to not give a shit." I hissed through my teeth."Ok look,little Mrs.Freak-a-zooid grew some balls today." She giggled,I hadn't notice a group was forming until now.

"Sure have,but I wear them on my chest." I laughed back.I received a few oohs and ahas from the crowd around us."Oh is that so,last I checked,you are a punk." She spat in my face."I was but now,I'm going to show you that I'm not anymore,you fucking bitch." With that,I cocked back and punched her right in the middle of her little surgically enhanced nose.

I don't remember much after that,everything went black.when my vision cleared up,I was standing over her screaming "You should have just left me alone" over and over.I finally got a good look at her,she had a black eye,a busted lip and her nose was bleeding. Had I really done all of that,if I did,I know I'm screwed.
