  1. "What?" I stuttered, unable to form words. "Yes, I'm afraid it's horribly true. The Calamities weren't very happy that you'd been able to evade them, so they took out their revenge on your parents, it's their message of saying that if you put up a fight they'll murder you loved ones," Ms. Smith said sadly. I just stared blankly. "I can understand that this is probably a great shock to you, my own parents died when I was very young. I can write to the teachers and have them let you take off until next Wednesday at least, if you like," she said. I shook my head. "No, I-I think I'll be fine," I said, "I, I'm going to go back to Ivory." And without another word I jumped into the pool of people and hurried to the door. I didn't stop until I got to the closest space where no one would see me. The bathroom. Once I was safely away from all eyes, I started sobbing. It didn't seem possible, that my parents, my only family besides that horrid woman Aunt Regina, were gone. I realized this was all her fault. Aunt Regina, I mean. She's the one that decided I should be sent away, if she hadn't had that conversation with my mom and dad, this would never have happened. All her fault. I pounded the bathroom door with my fist to release some anger. Someone on the other side knocked back. "Hello? Who's in there?" asked a voice that I recognized to be Gwen. I opened the door, hoping my face didn't betray what I was about to say. "Oh hi _______, are you okay? I heard a lot of banging," she said. "I'm fine," I lied.
  2. "Oh, okay," she said. Come to think of it Gwen was kind of oblivious. Or maybe she noticed how tear-stained my face was and I probably didn't want to talk about it. And if she did think that, she was right. "I'll be in my dorm if anyone needs me," I said before pushing past Gwen. I just wanted to get to my dorm, and be able to cry it out. Crying in public was not a thing I liked doing, it made me feel weak. I know that may sound stupid, but that's how I feel. I didn't really run, I felt like that much attract too much attention, it was more of a fast walk. A very fast walk. "_______," I heard someone call my name. I turned around. Vincent was jogging after me. "Hey, you left the cafeteria so abruptly, is something wrong?" he asked. I shook my head, "No, everything is just f-fine." My voice cracked on the last word. I broke into sobs and Vincent put his arms around me. "It's okay," he whispered in my ear, stroking my hair. I sobbed into his shoulder for a few more minutes, then I finally pulled away. It felt wrong to pull away, he was so warm, his calm steady breathing was comforting. "What happened?" he asked. I explained everything, trying not to choke on my words. "I'm sorry," he said. "Thanks, I appreciate you letting me soak your shoulder," I said examining his shirt. Vincent laughed lightly, "Well, now that part doesn't need cleaning!" he said. I smiled. "Is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all?" he asked. I shook my head. "No, but thanks anyway. I'm going to go back to my room, if anyone needs me. I'll see you around?" Vincent nodded. "I'll see you around."
  3. I waddled, yes I waddled, to Ivory and flopped onto my bed. Twix meowed sadly and nudged my arm. "Thanks Twix," I said, stroking her head, "It's a good thing I have you." That's when I realized it. Twix was the only thing I had left from home besides a few pictures. I wouldn't be allowed to go back to my house, there might be some Calamities about still. I squeezed Twix tightly, feeling that she had all the more importance after my recent thoughts. "_______, are you in there?" a voice asked. I frowned, that voice didn't sound remotely familiar. The person knocked again. "_______?" I hesitated to get up. It could very well be a student that lived in Ivory but what if it was a Calamity? Or an Imitation? "Is she in there?" a different voice asked. It sounded like a guy. "I don't know, it doesn't sound like anyone's in there," the first voice said. "Should we just open the door?" the second voice asked. "No! Are you stupid or something? I'm sure since she saw the Imitation she'd pass out if she realized someone had broken into her room." It probably was a student, but how was a guy in Ivory? "I guess we'll have to come back later," the guy said. The sound of footsteps died down. "Well that was really odd. Maybe I would have opened the door if I didn't think that there would be a murderer waiting outside," I said to Twix. Twix hopped off of the bed and over to the door. She scratched the door and meowed at me reproachfully. "What? You want to let some strangers in?" I asked, "It's a good thing you don't have thumbs."
  4. Twix meowed again. I sighed and opened the door. "I'll see you Twix, I need to eat." I left Ivory and walked to the bus stop. Thankfully, no one decided to come and annoy me on the way there. I checked the time. Ten eleven. Shoot, I missed the bus and breakfast at the cafeteria was over. I sat on the bench with a grumble. "Why, look who it is, the nutjob," said an annoying voice. I knew exactly who it was. That witch Eve that could have gotten me fired. I pretended not to hear her. Eve sat down next to me, "So, what happened? Mommy and Daddy didn't want to have an insane daughter?" I have no idea how I managed to not throttle her. "I wouldn't blame them, having a Non for a kid, even if you weren't insane, your parents would be to not get rid of you. They even had the nerve to send you as if you would be capable of any Skills." That was it. "Oh really?" I said trying to keep my voice steady and not explode on the spot, "I think it's pretty funny that you're trying to make me feel bad. Why Eve" Is it because you're jealous that I'm in a special dorm and you aren't? Is it because you want me to leave because I'm too much competition when it comes to boys? Or is it something much deeper than that?" Eve stood up and opened her mouth but I kept talking. "Maybe you feel insecure because of your family, it's messed up somehow and you're picking on me to get rid of your emotions. Or maybe it's simply because your own family was always ashamed of you, ashamed of you because you came from a family of Superiors, but you didn't have any Skills. You're only here because Ms. Smith had enough kindness in her heart to spare you from your unloving, ashamed family. Because Ms. Smith told your parents that if you were here, no one would suspect a thing, and you would be almost normal. But you aren't like the rest of us, you're just like me, because you're an oddball." Eve stared wide-eyed with her jaw dropped.
  5. "H-how d-d-did you know th-that?" she stuttered, on the verge of tears. To tell the truth I had no idea how I knew. All of the sudden information about Eve's personal life was in my mind, and since Eve had hurt me, at that moment I wanted to hurt her as much as I could. "I don't know," I said. "Liar! Y-you've been snooping!" she shouted, now openly crying. "I'm going t-to report y-you!" And with that Eve ran away, to what I think was Ice. Great, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and now, I would be expelled for 'snooping'. They already thought I was some evil spy, what would they do to me? Lock me up in a special prison? I didn't even want to think about that. I was no longer hungry, I had entirely lost my appetite since I'd thought of what might happen. I trudged back to Ivory in a sad mood. I flopped onto my bed once I was in my room. I did that a lot. I was feeling a little drowsy after my thinking, also because it was disgustingly damp out that day, but luckily cold. On cold, damp days I liked to take naps, but on warm damp days I just wanted to tear my hair out. "Well Twix, I'll be taking a nap, wake me at lunch," I said after checking the time. Eleven thirty, so I'd have about forty-five minutes to sleep. I quickly dozed off. My dream was that I was yelling at Eve again, and she started crying. Except for we were in a room and she was crying so much that it was flooding the room. "Eve," I shouted, my mouth half filled with water, "Eve stop, we're going to drown!" But Eve didn't hear me and kept on crying. Eventually the entire room was full and I was swimming around underwater, but Eve was still sitting on the bottom crying.
  6. "Eve!" I tried to shout through the water, which was incredibly stupid because I was wasting my air and Eve was paying any attention to me anyway. But things got worse. Instead of drowning quickly, I managed to stay alive for the next horrific scene. Eve was still crying so her mouth was opened, and snakes were slithering out of her mouth. They were all green except for one, which was jet black. The green ones slithered around and began strangling her. I swam over to her and started prying them off her neck. The black one came forward wrapped itself around her head. "Stop it!" I tried to scream through the water, but no noise came. The snake squeezed her head until she stopped crying, and fell over dead. I woke up sweating and on the floor. Twix was sniffing me cautiously. I checked the time. It was four thirty. Shoot, how did I manage to sleep that long. "Well, at least now I'm well rested for- shoot! I'm late for work!" I shouted while tearing off my clothes and putting on my work uniform. I raced out of Ivory and to the bus stop, ignoring the stares I was getting. I reached the bus stop and stopped to catch my breath. "Shoot, the bus doesn't come for half an hour," I said. I looked around carefully before pitching a fit. Stomping my feet on the ground and kicking everything in sight. Unfortunately, the bench just happened to be in sight and I smashed my foot. I cursed under my breath and sat down to remove my shoe and sock. "Now there's no reason to swear," a guy said. I turned around, very annoyed. "Hey Shocky," I said, seeing Jimmy. Jimmy frowned, "Ugh, what possessed you to start calling me that?" I chuckled, "The same thing that possessed me to smash my foot," I replied, examining my foot carefully.
  7. "And what was that? Your great rage?" he asked as crouched down to look at my foot. "Maybe," I said. "Well why the heck were you so angry? I think you might have broken something," Jimmy said frowning. He rubbed his hands together a few times until sparks fell from them. My foot was instantly relieved of all its pain. "Oh, I forgot you could do that," I said. "It's a good thing I can, or you would need crutches," he replied, "And it would be kind of hard to go to work with those." "Shoot!" I said, "I left my satchel at Ivory. Can I borrow your phone?" "Sure," he said, handing me his phone. "Double shoot! I don't know Katelyn's phone number!" I said. I groaned and slumped back into the bench. Jimmy sat down next to me, "What's wrong?" "I overslept and I'm late for work, plus I can't even call her to tell her I'll be late because my phone is in my room, I don't know Katelyn's number, and I can't go get my phone because the bus will be here any minute and I'll probably get fired if I'm two hours late." As if to prove my point, the bus pulled up, but Hummus was not in it. What the fluff Hummus? Where are you? I got on the bus after bidding Jimmy farewell. I tapped my feet the entire ride, which probably annoyed the driver. But I couldn't help it, I was extremely impatient to get to Churros and apologize to Katelyn. It seemed like forever before the bus finally stopped and I practically jumped out of the door. I ran up to the front of Churros only to see a very angry Katelyn at the front door. Shoot, it was going to be an interesting day.
  8. "I can't believe this _______, I really just can't believe this. I thought you were reliable, I thought I had made it clear that I had important things that needed to be done. I trusted you, and you let me down," she started ranting. "Katelyn, I'm really sorry I'm late, I overslept and missed the bus I just-" It was a poor excuse, and Katelyn knew that I knew it. Her normally gray green eyes were more of a silver and her entire face was red. "Sure you did, sure, you overslept. Well I'm sorry _______, but you can't oversleep wen you have the key! I couldn't get in, and apparently some very important people were coming today, but I couldn't let them in because one of my employees had the key. Now the critics will just have to write that Churros has bad unreliable employees. Why _______? Why?" Katelyn was starting to tear up, and I my guilt increased by about ninety percent. "I'm sorry _______, but I'm going to have to let you go, this is your second slip-up. I would have let it go but both of your slip-ups have been major, and they've cost me a lot. You know why business has been slow at Churros lately? Because people are afraid to come here, because they don't want to be assaulted by the wait staff that worked for Mae's. Now Churros will be completely shamed because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if I 'll have to close it down. Maybe I'll start working for Mae's, at least my sister can get me work. Give me the key and your apron." I untied my apron and handed it to her. I felt around in my pocket and realized the keys were at my dorm. "Umm, I left the keys behind," I said quietly. Katelyn's face grew stony.
  9. "Very well," she said, I could tell this just infuriated her more, "Have Gwen bring the key on her next shift." And with that she marched over to Mae's. Well, now I didn't have a job and Katelyn and her sister despised me. I hadn't thought about me attacking Eve, I passed it off as trivial since Katelyn had let it go. But to think I had ruined her business was practically unbearable. And of course, all I thought of was Aunt Regina. I had to blame it on someone else. If she hadn't sent me here, none of this would've happened. My parents were dead, I was jobless, Nons thought I was crazy, and soon Forest Richmond would think I was snooping and probably lock me up. I only had Twix. I trudged back to the bus stop, but realized the bus wouldn't be there for another forty-five minutes. I decided to try and walk to Forest Richmond. It was a stupid idea, I know, but I just wanted to be in my room. Besides, it was only like ten miles, good exercise. It might take almost three and a half hours, but hey, why not? It would be eight thirty when I got back. I started walking, and was only walking for about two minutes when I saw a bus. HUMMUS!!! "What on earth are ya doin? Trying to walk yourself to death?" he asked as I got on. "Let's just say I'm an extremely impatient person that needs to do some serious thinking," I replied, "Why are you here? The bus isn't supposed to come yet." "We're tryin a new thing where there will be two buses, to make travel more convenient fer passengers," he said nonchalantly. "Well I guess that's a good thing, now I don't have to do nearly as much walking," I said. Hummus chuckled.
  10. After about fifteen minutes I was returned to Forest Richmond. "See ya later!" I called to Hummus as I walked into the darkness. I hadn't realized it until then because I was so busy, but I had gone almost the entire day without eating. I quickly walked to Ivory and of course, to Miranda's room, because she would definitely have food. Miranda welcomed me in and offered me some Oreos, which I graciously accepted. We sat and chatted for a little while, but then there was a knock on the door. "Miss Miranda, are you in there?" a familiar voice asked. Ms. Smith. "Crap," Miranda whispered, "Hide!" She shoved me into the closet and covered me with various articles of clothing. "Wha-" Miranda clapped a hand over my mouth and jerked her head towards the door. Ms. Smith knocked again "Miranda?" "I'm here," she said rushing to the door and opening it. "Yes?" Ms. Smith peered around the room, "Have you seen Miss ______ anywhere?" Miranda pretended to look confused, "No, I haven't seen her today, maybe she's in her room?" Ms. Smith nodded hesitantly, "Well, thank you anyway, goodnight," she said. Miranda closed the door and pulled me out of the closet. "Sorry, but Ms. Smith would probably kill us both if she found out I'd been associating with you. She's still not too sure if you're sane or not. Stupid, really. But anyway, you'd better get out of here if you don't want to get caught, see ya! Oh, and keep the Oreos, I'm sure you're starving." I left the room and took the other staircase to my room. I had to sprint and even then I barely had enough time to change into pajamas and take out a book to look inconspicuous. Ms. Smith knocked on the door and I got up to answer it. "Yes?" I said opening the door. Ms. Smith frowned at me. "Ah there you are," she said, "Why may I ask are you wearing sneakers in bed?" Shoot. "I was just out to get my mail, you know just in case," I drifted off topic and looked an Ms. Smith nervously. "Yes, well, glad that you're in. Listen, we need to talk."
