Silent Playlist ON HOLD

One

I like sitting in the rain. My hair gets wet and in knots but it's as if the sky is crying. Kind of how I am, I'm a happy, fun person but ever since my mother passed away two months ago my life was dark. I wore black shirts, black pants, black shoes. Dyed my hair a dark brown and wore heavy eye liner. People called me names; Misty Black, Hardcore Bitch, Motherless. It was hard on me so I decided to be quiet and shut myself out.

I told my best friend that I don't want to be friends with her, she was mad. She still is in fact, she looks at me in the halls with total disgust. I ignore it just as I ignore everyone else.

I sit in the back of every class, if we get assigned seats, I will pay the person in the back to switch with me. It works, they usually are druggies so giving them about $50 can get them more weed or shit like that.

I have maybe one friend, her name is Bella and we are similar in some ways. We both love to sit in the rain. There's something about rain that makes me happy, I mean as happy as I can get.

I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Katherine and I am 17. Before my mother died, I had beautiful blonde hair that went to my bum and my eyes sparkled. Or that is what my mother use to say.

It was my brother and sister, father, mother and I so we decided to take a trip to a cabin up north. It was snowing but not so bad, I fell asleep and when I awoke I was in the hospital with tubes up my arms and my nose. I had no idea what happened but how the doctors explained it to me, because I was asleep I didn't physically feel pain.

I learned later that week that my mother died, Bella was with me through the whole thing because she lived next to my house. Speaking of that house, we moved from that place into an apartment that was way to small for four of us.

Anyways, when my mom died I stopped smiling and I pushed everyone away. They didn't care and to be honest, I didn't either.

Today was a Friday and I had to go to class with dripping, wet hair but I didn't mind. No one really noticed. Something felt off about today, when I got to first period some blonde haird guy was sitting in my seat in the back. Casually I went up to him and cleared my throat. "Nice hair" He laughs and I got frustrated.

"This is my seat" I state and stand closer to him. He eyes my body and although it's uncomfortable it brings a weird feeling to my stomach. Not a bad thing but a good thing. "Move" I say louder this time, I feel like I need to hurl.

"Doesn't say your name" He smirks and crosses his arms as he bites his lip ring. I turn and flip him off over my shoulder walking to the only seat left, and that seat is in the very front row.

"Katherine, great of you to join us up here" Mr. Mitchell says clapping his hands together, I feel everyone's eyes on me as I take a seat. I don't reply, I just sit there and stare at my black painted nails that are now chipping around the edges.

The hour goes by fairly slow, when I turn I see that new guy, whose name I learned is Lucas but he wants to be called Luke. He is staring at me, and I stare back before he smiles and leans back in his chair more.

The bell rings and I grab my, you guessed it, black back-pack but before I can leave my seat, Luke calls my name. I decide to try and talk to him.

"So, Katherine it is?" He chuckles and I look away in embarrasment but he catches it, "Oh you don't like when I joke around Kathy?" I cringe at the name 'Kathy'. My mom use to call me that.

"Do not call my Kathy, Lucas" I state and walk away, I try not to cry but a tear escapes my left eye so I decide to ditch 2nd and the rest of the periods after.

I walk through the off-white colored hall ways, looking out for school security. I'm known for ditching alot so I doubt I'll get into any trouble but you have to be careful. I find my favorite spot and that is behind the bleachers in an old snack bar that no one and I mean no one goes to.

I push the door open and close it, flipping the light the on and turning around, but what I see makes me scream louder than I have talked in almost two months. "What the fuck" I yell louder, Luke sits on the floor, on my pile on blankets and pillows. This is my escape place not his!

"Whoa Katherine, calm" He pulls out a lighter and a cigarette. "Chill"

"Get out, this is my place to escape." I feel the tears brim my dull eyes and he looks at me before shrugging and lighting his cigarette. "Put that shit out, it kills you" I harshly yell.

"Stop talking, you are so annoying I swear" He lets out smoke and slowly the room fills with a thick layer of smoke.

"Fuck you" I spit and leave, slamming the door behind me. I sit against the small abandoned building and cry. I hear the door creak open.

"Whoa, are you okay?" He bends down and look at me.

"You don't care. In case you forgot you called me annoying not even five minuets ago. Go away" I push him back and he stumbles back but he regains balance and bends down, picking me up bridal style. "Let me go Lucas" I scream and hit his chest.

"Stop being crazy" He says smoothly and opens the door with his foot setting me down on my pillows. Once my face hits a pillow, I fall asleep. Before I fall into a deep slumber, I hear him singing.

"But don't burn out

even if you scream and shout

it'll come back to you

back to you.

Oh I will, carry you over

fire and water for your love

and I will hold you closer hope your heart is strong enough" Then I fall asleep, not noticing when his hand touches my cheek.
