I heard the clock go “tick tick tick”. I lifted my head and saw everyone else still looking at their tests. I wrote down the last answer while Ms. Lovely said "Pens down, heads up and listen to me”
So,I put my pencil down, my head up and didn’t listen to her. My name is Liliyanna Marrowline, but everybody calls me Liliy. I have long white hair with two black streaks in the front and electric green eyes. I go to a private school so; I have to wear a uniform. My uniform is a white collar shirt, a grey knee length plaid skirt and white ankle socks with black dress shoes. My two best friends don’t go to my school but come here everyday to pick me up. Their names are Seth and Griffin.
Seth is the tallest out of the three of us; he has grass like blonde hair, big blue eyes and is really buff. Griffin is the second tallest out of the three of us, he has short brown hair, small brown eyes and is not very strong on the outside but on the inside he is as strong as some really strong person. After school I get my backpack and try to avoid the PC (popular crowd), but with my luck I run strait into Angel Lovely, Ms. Lovely’s daughter and the most popular girl in my school.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here” Angel says in a sweet voice.
“Hi Angel I really have to go, my friends are waiting for me”
“What friends? Ohh right I forgot your friends with those two freaks” Ouch.
“Well for your information my friends might be freaks but you’re friends are stupid, ugly, liars and a mirror image of you”
“Hey!”
“Well it’s true, you are stupid, ugly and full of yourself”
(Pause by Angel)
“I know you are, but what am I?” she sneers with a smirk.
“A jerk” and I leave it at that. I don’t mean to brag but that was very clever. I hear the song “Best friends brother” by Victoria Justice.
“Hello?” I already know who it is.
“Hey where are you? It’s been ten minutes since the bell rang!" Seth says with worry.
“Don’t worry I was dealing with the PC, I’m fine”
“Good, Griffin was worried about you”
“Ha-ha, well I see you two clowns so I’m going to hang up”
“OK bye” so I hang up and run to where Griffin and Seth are standing. We walk to my house and I run up to my room while they stuff themselves with the junk food my dad buys me. When I get to my room I try to decide what to wear, these are the four outfits I can’t decide on:
#1 Grey tank-top with short-shorts and flip-flops.
#2 Green T-shirt that says soccer with blue skinny jeans and sneakers.
#3 Black tank-top with a skull, leather jacket, Black short-shorts and motorcycle boots with buckles.
#4 pink dress with white heels.
Number 4 is a definite NO and after a while I decide on the most obvious. Number 3. Considering we just met I shall explain Angel to you. Angel is short for her age; she has long curly blonde hair, light brown eyes and is always wearing a pink knee length plaid skirt instead of a grey one. Her “Besties” include Lacy and Becca. And some other people like her boyfriend, Justin. Now, let me tell you about myself. I have three brothers and one sister, my brothers names are(in age order) Arrow, Austin and Aj. My dads name is Alex and my sister’s name is Amber. My moms name was Angelica.
Everyone BUT me has red hair and brown eyes, well almost everyone. Amber has one really light blue eye and one brown eye so I guess she has half brown eyes. I was born with white hair and dyed the front parts black. I was named Liliyanna because I have a birthmark of a lily on my shoulder. I am an oddball so it is not so bad to be different from the rest of my family. At least I have friends and that is what makes me happy. I change and walk to the bathroom where I grab a hair thingy and put my hair in a bun with only my black hair showing. At school we can only wear hair thingies and head bands because we're not allowed to wear hats. When I go out I don’t want people to see that I have white hair because they always freak out, so I make sure that they can only see the black part of my hair. So I put on a black bandana and run down the hall to the stairs. At the stairs I jump and slide down the banister (which I’m NOT aloud to do when my dads home so I do it when he’s not.) when I walk into the kitchen I see Griffin stuffing himself with doughnuts and Seth grabbing for a bag of cheetos. I say:
“Eh hem, are you two going to share?”
“Uh, um, Seth you answer” Griffin says to Seth nervously.
“Well Griffin, we would share but it is fair to say that we all know that you, Liliy don’t eat this junk food that you’re dad buys”
I stop to think. It is true but I still like to have an occasional doughnut or two. So I say:
“True, but you guys should stop, you need to save room for the mall”
Seth looks at Griffin and Griffin looks at Seth. Seth quickly shoves the cheetos back in the cabinet and Griffin drops the box of doughnuts. They step in front of me and say
“Let’s go” in unison.
I laugh and turn around to go to the car when Aj steps in front of me and says:
“Liliy where are you going?”. I say with irritation,
“Aj I’m going to the mall with Seth and Griffin like I do every day so back off”
I push past him and walk out the door before he can say anything. When I get outside I groan with anger. Our Toyota is not in the driveway which means Amber has it. She is always using the car to go see her boyfriend Brian. He is so weird, whenever he sees me he says “hey girly, what’s up?” it is so annoying. I hope she is NOT bringing him back with her like an annoying stain on her shirt, which she always does. So when she pulls up into the driveway I’m not surprised to see Brian sitting in shotgun. He jumped out of the car and walked over to me and said:
“Hey girly what’s-” I cut him off
“Brain, look I have a name and I would like you to call me by it” yes I said “brain” it’s my nickname for him. He says:
“Um one my name isn’t Brain its Brian and second um what is your name?” six words: There. Is. Something. Wrong. With. Him. I say with even more irritation “My name is Liliy”
“Ok, Liliy”
“Thank you”
“Your welcome”
“Now Brian, can you get my sister out of the car so we can go to the mall?” he looked at me confused like “what do you mean we?”
I nodded towards Seth and Griffin. He said
“Sure, so you and your “boyfriends” can go the mall” my face turned red
“There NOT my boyfriends”
“Well then, who are they?” he says with fake confusion
“They are my friends” I say, I wanted to KILL him. But I decided to spare his pathetic life, for now.
I pushed past him and said to my sister:
“Get out of the car”
She looked at me like I was crazy then slid out of the seat. I jumped in then started to pull out slowly, Seth and Griffin ran to the car and quickly jumped in. while I was driving I cooled off; HE IS SO ANNOYING I COULD MURDER HIM. We don’t go to the mall to shop, we go to hang out cause at my house there is too many people, Griffin’s house is too small and Seth’s parents don’t like me. I don’t know why they don’t like me, they just don’t I guess. Maybe it’s because I’m a bad example or something. We get to the mall; I park my car and climb out. While we are walking to the door my phone rings. It’s Aj, what is that boy’s problem?!? I answer
“What do you want”
“Where are you?” what is up with him?
“At the mall you creep”
“I am not a creep!”
“Yes you are!” he really was, for some reason he had to know what everyone was doing 24/7 it
was starting to creep me out.
“No I’m not!”
“YES YOU ARE YOU JERK!!!” I was ticked off, who gave him the right to be a stalker?! I hadn’t realized that I had stopped walking until now; I was standing in the middle of the road! I ran to the door and hung up on Aj, from now on I was never going to answer his calls. When we walked in the front doors I wanted to curl up into a ball and die right then and there. Matt Andrews was there with his gang and he has a HUGE crush on me which is really annoying because if he sees me he won’t leave me alone (and I think he’s jealous of Seth and Griffin). Seth sees them to and says
“Let’s go into this store until they pass” I nodded and tugged on Griffins arm and whispered
“Follow me!” we ran into the store and hid behind some close racks. Matt walked into the store and started to look around.
