I look my hair out of the short bun it was in to let my long hair spread over my shoulders and infront of my eye. "I sware, I get scarier and scarier looking every day" I said to myself looking up into the mirror. My hair was so black and shiny it was almost unreal, and I was the only person I had ever known to have red eyes without needing any contacts or anything."It's like the grudge"
I said giving a half smile into the mirror.

"HANNA! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" I heard my mom call from downstairs.

"Oh...dammit....COMING MOM"

I figured she must have gotten the call from the principle. I didn't understand why she sounded so surprised though, he called almost every weekend. I quickly pushed my hair behind my ears and ran down the cold, wooden, steps of our stairs into the kitchen.

"Hanna! Your principle just called and he sounded very-....Hanna its almost noon, why in the world arent you dressed yet?!"

I looked down at my black pajamas with little skulls on them and looked back up.

"I WAS getting dressed! But you called me down here to talk to you about my principle calling!
He calls every week mom, calm down"

"Do NOT take that tone with me young lady!"

"Young lady?" I calmly repeated her words and started to turn around. "Im no lady, in your eyes im probably not even human, you're always yelling at me and telling me im such a disgrace,
I can't believe you haven't kicked me out yet"

Out of the corner of my eye I could see her face grow pale, she knew what I was saying was the truth.

"Im going out...to meet Suki. I'll be home, at some point."

My mother sat down and looked out the kitchen window over the sink.

"Alright..." She said slowly. "But when your father gets home we WILL talk about this"

"Of course...." And with that, I slowly walked back up the stairs.

Once i re-entered my room i quickly threw off my pajamas and ran to my closet. I slid open the long bamboo door to reveal about 12 pairs of black jeans and maybe 17 black t-shirts and tank tops. It was practically all that I owned. I threw on one of the tank tops and a pair of jeans that had holes cut in them on the knees. I didn't even bother to look at myself in a mirror before I left, it wasn't like I cared how I looked.

When I came back down stairs, my mom was in the same position I had left her in, her head resting on her palm, and staring blankly out the window. I simply ignred her, picked up my wallet and house keys off of the stand next to the front door, and left.

At the Coffee Shop on 23 Street...

"Hey! Hanna! There you are! I've been waiting forever you jerk!" Suki greated me at the door of the Coffee Shop with a mocha latee in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

"Hey Suki. Sorry im late, but im busted....again"

Dragging a puff on her cigarette Suki calmly tried to process what I said. She was extremely slow whenever she smoked.

"Oh! You mean the food fight?" Suki exclaimed, finally getting it. "Oh man, I wish I could have seen your moms face, that must have been hilarious!" She said looking up at the sky, trying to picture the event in her head.

"It wasn't, it looked like she was gonna go crazy, it was just...so unlike her ususal reactions."

"I see...well...IM BORED! Let's go to the park!" Suki grabbed my wrist and pulled me, headed towards the city park, it was one of our many hang outs, considering it was old, deserted,
and rusty. Just the way we liked it.

So, we began to head over to the park. We walked by girls in high heels, jocks, jerks, bullies,
old people, babys, everyone. In order to get to the park we had to walk through the busiest streets. That pissed me off. I hate people.

*BAM*
"Ow! What the hell?"I said rubbing my shoulder. Some big guy in a white t-shirt looked at me in disgust.

"Whatch where you're going, emo." he knocked me in the shoulder again and stormed off

"Emos? is that what their calling us now?" Suki said glaring back.

"Yea, I guess so, last year they thought we were goths. And now emos, weird. How come nobody can get it right? We're outcasts, its not that hard." I said rubbing my shoulder.

"I know Hanna, I know. It sucks, but cheer up! Theres the park dead ahead!" Suki pointed accross the street to the old abandoned park.

"Finally, something good to happen today- Ah crap!"

"
