Avani looked at the pizza store in front of her. Many passed by her, giving her glares and weird looks but Avani didn't care. All she could think about was food. And how her own step-mother disowned her. And the nurse's horrified face. And how warm her toes would be if she had just one match. Sighing, she walked to her corner around the garbage dump of a random store and laid down. She shut her eyes, not wanting to open them ever again. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Avani was just an ordinary girl, living in an ordinary life That is until she started barfing up garbage, oil, and plastic.

No one really knew Robert. Not even his best friend, Randy. They thought he was a good-looking Soc with money, awesome parents, and a perfect life. They thought he was happy, with a girlfriend, popularity, and power. Did he have all of those things? Yes. But was he really happy? No. His parents spoiled him, praised him, and encouraged him. They'd expect him to be the best, and when he isn't, they'll blame themselves and drink. Drink and drink and drink. How did you think Robert got into the habit? He would try to convince them that it was his fault by saying, "It'll be fine!" or "I should've done better!" Does it work? No. That would just make them drink more. And more. And more. But does the world know that? No. All the world knows is that Robert was a Soc with a perfect life. So many times he remembered wanting to break it to the world. Not everything is what it seems like. No, his life wasn't as perfect as you thought it was. No, he wasn't the happiest child in the world. No, it's not because his parents spoiled him too much that he's become what he is today. Well, not at least the person he was before it happened. What happened? Everything. But, let's start from the beginning of it all. ~The Outsiders Fanfiction~ ~+*I don't own anything except for the plot*+~
