Elleanor Scissorhands

The Misfit Of Florida

'Well then,' Winonya said happily to the girls, it was now morning and they were having breakfast. Sitting up with them, was Peyton's little brother, James, who was 12 years old. 

'So let me get this straight,' he said to his sister, who was still eating her breakfast, 'Edward Scissorhands actually has a daughter?' 

'For the last time James, yes and she's sitting right next to me.' 

'Oh yeah,' he said, then turned to Elleanor, 'can I have a look at your hands.' \

'James,' Winonya moaned, 'let the girl eat.' 

'It's alright,' Elleanor laughed, 'here.' 

She held out her hands, James suddenly started touching them, 'wow they're so cool, I wish I had scissors for hands.' 

'Well, you sort of don't,' Elleanor laughed, 'they take ages to polish and clean, especially when they get rust in between them.' 

'Well that's understandable,' he said, still gaping at her hands, he said, 'what was your father like?' 

'I honestly don't remember,' she answered, 'I haven't seen him for 26 years.' 

'Really?' James exclaimed, this seemed to be surprising for everyone but her, why was she so different?

'Anyway,' Winonya said, 'it's summer, so why don't you three go outside and have some fun.' 

'That sounds great,' Peyton exclaimed, then turned to Elleanor, 'come on, I'll teach you a few things, and we'll have a ball.'

'Well then, have fun,' Winonya said, and left. 

'Okay, let me get dressed then I'll come out,' Peyton said happily, 'Elleanor, can I call you Ellsy?'

'Sure.' 

'Well then I'll just get changed then we'll go out,' she said, 'Ellsy, you can stay here or either get started I'll catch up.' 

'Okay,' Elleanor said, and she left. Elleanor decided to go outside and explore, it was quite a sunny day, so she walked out the door. 

She obviously got seen, because everyone was looking at her, as if she was a worm or something. 

'Hey,' someone called out, Elleanor turned; there were three girls standing in front of her. They reminded her of those popular girls that she'd read about in books. The front girl walked forward.

'Pardon me, but do you know that your fashion is way out of date,' she sniggered. 

'Excuse me?' Elleanor answered, 'but that wasn't very nice of you.' 

'So?' she snorted, 'we're the most popular group in Tampa, and a 90s girl comes to live among us and those freakish hands, you must be friends with Peyton.' 

'Please stop.' 

'Oh no, Edwardina Scissorhands is about to kill us nooooo!' they laughed in unison, this started to upset Elleanor, so she retorted, 'if all you've done your whole life is make others feel worse, then GO AWAY! AND LEAVE ME ALONE!' 

'Whoa, watch ya temper,' she laughed on, 'the name's Angelica, and who the heck are you?' 

'Elleanor.' 

'Ellanor?' Angelica sniggered, 'you look to weird to be called that, you know? I was a beau-' 

'ANGELICA!' Peyton yelled, running to Elleanor's side, 'how many times? Don't you dare come near me or my friends.' 

'Uh fine,' Angelica snapped, looking hot tempered, 'but you know that you make friends with the weirdest people.' And the three of them left. 

'Sorry you had to go through that,' Peyton said, apologetically, 'I should have never of said to stay outside and wait for me.' 

'Is it true? Am I a weirdo?'
