there has been a change of plans….I’m not really feeling good right now it started around the middle of third period. I didn’t want to just leave and go home without telling you.” She looked at me concern with a pouty sad face. “Well ok do you have time to drop me off home?” “Yea sure of course.” We walked to my car holding hands and again I saw the creep group standing in the same place. This time I started at them with no hesitation. Francetta followed my gaze and roughly pulled me into the car. “Hay girl wait!” Francetta’s best friend Joslyn marched up the

Passenger’s side of my car and leaned over the window in Francetta’s face. “Now where are you going?” Francetta looked her in the face back. “Minding my business and….?” they both laughed into one another’s face. “I thought you were going with me to Jackie’s house today for the fashion rehearsal?””Oh yea! That’s right I totally forgot!” Francetta got out of the car a looked over at me with a sad a face. “It’s ok I’m not feeling well anyways and you still get a ride home I’ll call you later.” She jumped out of the car and ran off with her best friend. Before I got into the car I stood and watched Francetta leave waving goodbye. I turned to look over at the gang of misfits….today I would make my move. I threw my back pack into the passenger side of my car and locked the door. I started to walk over the towards the gang one of them looked up and saw me coming toward them they began straighten up waiting for me come over. “Hay gang how it going?” Everyone just stood there looking at me like I stole something. I came up to the group and stood in front of them looking awkward. Finally Tony coming towards me began to speck. “It’s been good.” I stood a short distance away from them not sure if I made the right decision to approach these people not only did they look weird they acted weird too. They all continued to stare at me. I looked away for a while into the football field they had practice today and the fields were busy. “So what brings you over here? Asked Linda. I looked at her with a challenging defiant look on my face. “Is there a problem that I came over?” She looked back at me giving the same challenging look. “No not at all I’m just surprised your girlfriend let you get away.” The whole group turned and looked towards Linda and they all laughed. Nervously I laughed also while being embarrassed. I have always had the feeling that people felt and noticed how Francetta pulls the strings in our relationship now I have full proof. That’s why I lied said I was sick and wanted to go home. I’m a grown man I have to make my own decisions now. “Well I told her I had other plans.”Meghan stepped up in next to Linda. “So do you have any?” “Well no not really that’s why I came over here, what you guys have up for today?” they all looked at each other with a thrilled mysterious look. “Does it matter what you do today” asked Ricky. “Naw I’m gamed for whatever you guys wanna do.” Dinky looked at Tony, “I know just actually what we can do today….Tony you feel me?” Tony smiled and looked at Dinky nodding his head. Tony looked back at me with the same smile…..did I just see his face transform into something domestic? I slowly stepped back with a panic. “Is there something wrong Donovan?” Meghan asked. I looked at Meghan quickly recovering from my reaction, didn’t think she had noticed. “No I’m cool let’s roll.” Stepping back to let the group lead the way, I followed them not sure what we were going to do today. Since I moved here a year ago I have not meet or interacted with any dudes at school, Francetta, her sister and her best friend are the only three I know personally. If I’m going to fully recover from my suicidal depression I’m going to have to start mingling with more different people. In fact, Francetta has her sister, her best friends and a couple of other girls not to mention guys too she hangs out with whoever she wants. I better jump on the bandwagon too! I followed them to a black van which

resembles Scooby doo mystery machine, but only it was black with some weird strange writings and carving on them. Pulling back the middle door of the van, Linda mentioned for me to go inside first. Watching my step, I looked inside the van to get a better look before I went in. Everything in the van was black. There were black curtains on the van small oval windows, black thick carpet, and a round table in the middle of the floor and black vinyl leather seats. This van was cool and so neat inside, but both at the same time, I felt a creepy feeling as I stepped farther inside to sit down. I sat in the corner over by the window, Meghan sat next to me and then Lynda sat next to Meghan. Tony turned to look at me from the front of the van; he was the driver of the van. Ricky sat on the passenger side and Dinky sat on the floor of the van by the small round table in the middle. As we drove leaving the school grounds, I looked out the small oval window to my left, I could see people looking and staring weirdly at me getting into the van. Some people had a look of pure horror on; some had the look of disgust while others just stared. I just don’t get why people are making such a big deal over this group? Yea, sure they looked weird, but we all have our own individual personalities. I can kind of see why they named the group “The Reject Society” my guess is that they don’t fit in with society pretty much keeping to themselves. I know the feeling which is why I developed the sense to try and kill myself several times. Suddenly I was glad to be leaving the school with all the dirty looks they were giving us. I also noticed that I never see anyone else in school hang out with these people and Francetta just insists I stay away from them. She is just bossy and controlling I’ve got to break this habit now it’s been a year. Looking at my surrounds, I could see that we were leaving the really nice area….we were now heading towards another part of town. This area looked just as creepy and spooky as the gang I was riding along with in this creepy van. They mean to keep a straight up creepy image don’t they? The clouds begin to build and get darker it seems there is storm coming in this part of town. I hope we get somewhere safe before it starts. We turned down a street called “Mansingfield” there were run down boarded up house, some rackety, some vacant. Some spots where homes use to be now had empty lots. This place was nowhere near decent like my home area was. Everything was so dark and creepy hear too. I wonder where we are going. Most importantly, I’m starting to wonder if this was such a good ideas coming with these guys. They are not your typical high school kids. Do they even have a class schedule much less belong to the school? I’ve only seen them outside the school or near front entrance only after classes was over. I started feeling very uneasy as we finally came to a stop in front of what looked to be a vacant house down at the end of a ……dead end street. Looking at Meghan beside me, I began to speck as nobody else did the whole entire time we were coming here. “ummmm where is this place?” She turned to look at me as if she was noticing me for the first time. “Hay relax honey you will see.” Regretting, turned back to stare out the window, the house was vacant with boards against the windows and it was run down. Looking between the boards of the big picture window, I could now see a light burning in the

living room…..no it looked like a candle. It was dark in this area of town and was about to rain a heavy storm. Ricky got out of the van first letting us out the back, when I finally got out; I stood in front of the house. I really did not want to spend the rest of my day in a rundown vacant house on a rundown creepy street. These guys are totally off the weird end of the chain. Tony can around the side of the van stepping on the sidewalk next to me. “Donovan, this is our secret hideout where we come to get away from others who do not accept us. We have finally come to a conclusion that we will accept ourselves to be different and not force others to accept us. We don’t belong to this world, but we belong to another.” They all turned to look at me now, all had this dark menacing looks on their faces, evil and grotesque. Lynda grabbed my hand and led me up to the front door of the porch. As Linda guided me inside they all followed behind me. There were candles lit in the front living room in a circle on the floor and on tables against the walls. The group all had these eerie, satisfied smiles on their faces looking at the candles lit around the living room. There was no other furniture in the house just the candles and…….a weird round pendant looking symbol drawn on the floor with a dark black heaving marker. Meghan slightly pushed me over to side farther into the house. I was terrified, but tried not to show it……what the hell was going on here? I could see there were six candles on the floor all in a circle around the pendant marking. Each of them went and sat in from of a candle…..I stood there watching them. Tony reached out his hand…..”Wont you come and join us?” stunned, as I continue to search the floor I noticed the sixth candle had an empty space for…..was this space for me? How could they have known? I looked at Tony unable to move frozen in horror. Tony dropped his hand with a sign and made direct eye contact with me. I could feel his stare burning into me like hell. “Donovan, you must not be afraid, this is your destiny and know this don’t you?” Looking back at Tony,” What are you talking about”? Tony stood up from the floor and walked towards me. “Many times we have all wanted to escape this world because we don’t fit in. We cannot function in this world and in this time of life, in order for us to live we have to transit into another place in which we call reality where we can function more properly. Let me tell you a few things about yourself Donovan. This is not what you think we know, but it’s what we know about you. You have tried to transit into that world dozens of times, This Is the same world that we ourselves belong too. For some reason you have failed to enter this world maybe because at some point you became afraid which stopped your entrance. Today you will enter this world finally with us. Meghan stood up walking towards Tony and stood next to him. “Donovan, you’re a depressed suicidal aren’t you?” Looking at Meghan
