"Bea wake up!" A voice boomed into my head causing my eyes to flicker and twitch. "Beatrix get up before I tickle you!" My eyes widened and I instantly shot out of my bed and got dressed quickly into my grey shirt, sweater, and jeans.
"I'm up Nanna." I yelled running to the kitchen where Nanna was cooking my favorite bacon and eggs with waffles on the side.
"Here we go sweetie." she smiled at me placing my plate down.
"Hey that's not fair I get woken up but not Etna?" I whined sticking my food in my mouth.
"She's six." she countered.
"Yeah a first grader! She also goes to school!" Now I was being foolish but hey I live in America for my full rights and I intend to use them!
"Fine your duty of waking her up." She shrugged.
I ran to her room which was across from mine and barged in causing her to scream hiding under her covers.
I put my hands in a gun-like position and spoke in a western cowboy accent. "Partner I don't think you want to hide in there covers forever you owe me money partner." I circled her getting closer to her spot.
"Now Imma give you to the count of ten.......partner." I don't know what they say okay.
"Beatrix you don't know how to be a cowboy." she giggled coming out of her sheets.
"I don't think you wanna go there little one." I pointed the gun at her.
"Are you really sure about that bigger one." she pulled out not one gun but two. "Now if we're done here I'd like to have my breakfast." she made a move before I shot a bullet.
She dodged and shot me twice on the chest curse small kids and there abilities to move quickly. I dramatically collapsed on the floor pretending to be dead.
"I knew it, this town wasn't big enough for the two of us." she shook her head shoving her guns in her pants and leaving me there to die.
"So this is how it ends for me huh?" I chuckled like in the movies.
"Just because your on your period does not mean your going to die calm your hormones kid." Nanna shook her head I just got up and stuck my tongue at her.
I'm not on my period right? I ran to the bathroom. After brushing my hair and teeth and other daily needs -oh and I wasn't on my period yet- I walked out and skipped the rest of breakfast.
"Nanna I'm ready!" I ran to the door grabbing her keys and running in place.
"Me too Nanna I'm ready!!" My little sister joined me "Let's go then." she smiled at us. I handed her the keys and followed her to the car.
"Nanna please oh please put on my favorite song!!" She whined.
"No Etna that song is already annoying!" I covered my ears.
"Please!" She tried one more time.
"Oh look were here at your school already Etna come on have a good day pick you up at two okay." Nanna smiled rushing her out the door.
"I'll be back and you will play the song." she declared before running into the school grounds.
"That one sure is a handful isn't she Chelsea." I sighed shaking my head.
"Excuse me?" She chuckled looking at me. "don't you remember when you were just like that in fact you haven't changed, still the same little baby as before." she continued to drive after scolding me.
"I don't remember being such a handful." I looked out the window crossing my arms over my chest.
I recognized the road we were just around the corner to my school.
"Hey Bea we're here." She told me motioning to get out.
"Thanks Nanna see ya later." I smiled and walked toward the gates of my school I was in 11th grade, and oh my do i wish i was in 12th grade i am about ready to leave.
I walked to my locker and grabbed my daily needs and as i was about to shut myself down with music I heard many muffled whispers and blushing girls all looking at the school entrance. I was a bit skeptical so I went to look what was going on.
"Okay guys I know the doors are hot but their mine." I said to myself not watching where I was going, but was stopped by a body. "Hey watch it." I rubbed my face slowly scowling at the person before I was met with two green eyes.
"Now who exactly is "mine"?" he chuckled slouching down to my size since I was kinda on the floor..
I felt my face heat up instantly. "Umm the doors." I whispered looking down.
"The doors?" He looked back "Are.....yours?" He said as if trying to comprehend what I just said.
"Yeah they are-" I was cut off by a girl who pulled Xander back up. That girl was Kim my ex-friend who I hated with all my heart.
"Xander why are you talking to the schools biggest looser come on." she rolled her eyes at me. Then before anyone could say anything else I ran to my home room knowing the bell would ring in a little.
Like I thought it did and I was the first one in my class.
"Morning Miss Beatrix Bates." my teacher greeted me, he told me he liked my name.
"Morning Mr. Howard." I greeted back. The day went by fast except for the no life's who kept asking me what happened with this "Xander" everyone's so swoon over.
Oh yeah turns out I have two classes with Xander Art and Math. Although he didn't talk or look at me once. -not that I wanted him to-
Finally it was three and everyone was rushing out of the school. I slowly took my time walking out since i wait for no one.
I was listening to music but was paused when someone yanked it out.
"I swear I am going to slug you!" I raised my fist and turned around only to my surprise -which I shouldn't have really- Xander was standing their holding my fist.
"Woah! slow down there!" He smiled
"HEY YOUR THE KID FROM THIS MORNING ! " I yelled and he started laughing.
"For a girl they claim is a loner she really doesn't act like one." He lifted am eyebrow.
"Ah, those are just myths, I have friends, not many but I have at least someone to talk to." I said.
"Then why do you go along with these rumors?" Xander asked looking very confused.
"it's difficult for me to talk to those kind of people, you know." I was hoping he'd understand but I don't know why I can't talk to them either.
"Well your talking to me?" He smirked.
"Yeah but your not a cool kid right?" I giggled and he gave me a glare that I ignored as I started walking in front of him.
"I'm a cool kid alright." he defended himself but I wasn't buying it.
"Oh yes Xander is the coolest of cool kids." note the sarcasm in my tone?
"You, are an interesting one Beatrix." he pointed at me smiling a funny smile.
"I don't know, about that." I shook my head.
"In fact, your so interesting, I want to learn more of what is about you!"
"Well I'm not stoping you." I shrugged.
"Then it's settled, at the end of this year, I will know many things about Beatrix yes?" He looked at me as if asking for approval on his proposal.
"Why that sounds very interesting." I looked at him.
"Then it's going to happen, be prepared Beatrix cause your my new best friend." he laughed like an evil character, who is now fighting me.
