Sumer was over, the kids were back in school, parents were happy they didn’t have to be around the hoodlums anymore. Why they had them was beyond some people. Some of the high school students, well most, heard a chorus of monster Harley-like bikes roaring up to the front of the buildings in their second period. Those that could, or didn’t care what the teacher thought, moved to the windows to see if the Hell’s Angels were rolling up. Some of the teachers were not above rubbernecking what was going on as well.

Hell’s Angels would be scared of the five that decided to grace the school that morning. Stopping in a V formation, the sat there helmet less or only in a head rag but still letting their hair fly free as if off of Easy Rider. The only one that had a full helmet on was a tiny little thing, snuggly clinging to the one with the chestnut hair. They watched in amazement as a pair of long slender legs dismounted the bike to show off the Death doll dress she donned cutely. When the helmet came off, purple and white hair flew everywhere for a moment then settled, sort of, down to her butt, but was quite ‘fluffy’ and in two high ponytails on the top sides of her head, her bangs crisscrossed her face with some short bangs framing her forehead.

Tying her helmet back to the bike the guy handed over something that she hooked in her bangs, a small top hat with ornaments and ribbons dangling from it. Kissing every guy goodbye she turned and walked like a graceful gazelle or giraffe into the building. Unfortunately getting dubbed the slut since she was with five guys or a b***h from how she carried herself with confidence and her head held high. Regardless even though she was an extreme Goth with her tattoos, piercing and looks, everyone agreed, she was gorgeous. There would probably be more harsh comments on the boys but when she was inside they were gone in a roar of engine revving and squealing of tires.

That day she heard all the talk from her bendi to her cute doll-like shoes. She just frowned that they were judging her, calling such horrid names and she hadn’t even said hi to them. She wasn’t a bad person…just quiet. One did venture up to her, an outcast just like herself. “You’re the new girl, sorry that everyone is so mean to you…” she smiled to the guy and nodded and signed out ‘Thank you, people are cruel…’ then realized the guy might not know what she was saying. Her worries quickly faded as she got a flurry of signs back about he was excited that he could sign to her cause his sister was deaf. She smiled warmly, which seemed to make the room brighter. She had a friend, and that’s all she was desperate to have.

Last period they were on the roof enjoying the sunshine ‘So why are you signing, are you deaf?’ She looked over at him and sadly shook her head no. Taking off her collar she revealed a massive scar on her delicate neck. It went from ear to ear. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “How did you survive” forgetting to sign completely awestrucked the girl was alive. ‘Did you see us ride in?’ he nodded ‘ the one with white hair. He saved my life. Our father’ holding up her white strands ‘died when we were young. Which left us with our mother. She tried, she really did but she couldn’t cope with what was going on and hit the bottle spirally down fast. And in two years she lost it and was violent. When my brother left for camp, everything was surprisingly fine. When he came back, hell had opened up. The house was covered in blood and I was on my knees in the living room trying to stay awake with blood trickling out my neck.

‘my mom a few days before he got home snapped and attacked me. And being like a puppy I screamed and bit at her. She didn’t like that. All I remember was somehow the stove was on and I didn’t PUSH her back but I fell into her and she burned her hand. But a knife had been cooking on it and when she slit my throat she also cauterized it, so in a sense she unknowingly saved my life while trying to kill me.’ smiling and shaking her hands a bit she continued ‘I played dead till I heard her say ‘what have I done’ and went off. When I heard the gunshot I sat up. I got in a position on my knees and I waited 3 days for my brother to come. When he did, he carried me to the car and to the hospital.’

She dropped her hands and rested with a smile, she’s never talk that much since, ever. The boy was floored on what happened. “So your mom…” she nodded “How did the neighbors not know.” she smiled and more tiredly answered ‘we were in the rural area and no one heard. that’s why we absolutely live where there are neighbors at least somewhat close now. I mean look at me.’ she smiled and held up her small arms ‘I’m tiny I can poke you to death with my elbow.’ he laughed as she chased him around the roof with her elbow lightly jabbing the air. Stopping she read her vibrating phone and responded to the text. Just then the bell rang and the two snuck back to school to leave. She waved to the guy she had no idea she saved from suicide and walked proudly to her escorts. Sliding on behind the one with black hair and azurite eyes oh the rumors flew as she switched hats then the group roared off. This was going to be an interesting year and a few of the students were going to disappear, she had a strong feeling. As it was she just snuggled down into the guy’s back as they raced off home from yet another school she started but might not finish.
