Suffer In Silence
Pick Up Your Tricks and Start Running
*Dakota's POV*
*40 mins later*
The bell finally rings. I hurriedly pack my things, I need to get to my favourite hiding spot fast, before Stephanie or Josh find me. I'm acutely aware that someone is staring at me, I quickly glance to my left, it's Sandra, shit, she saw me look. The second my shit's all packed I'm up and rushing out the door. The whole time I'm speed walking I keep an eye out. I'm finally able to let out a sigh of relief, as I crawl behind the stairs and into the hidden area behind it. Of course I only did so after I made sure there was no one looking......
*****Sandra's POV*****
I have to admit, i'm just the tiniest bit disappointed that class is over. I love this class, and there's something about this girl that intrigues me. I was about to ask her if she wanted to sit with me and my friends at lunch, but the second the bell went off, it was like she was a girl possessed. She had her stuff packed and was out the door in a matter of seconds. I shake my head and pack my stuff, if I don't hurry Andy will have taken the best seat....
*5 mins later*
"Hey guys!" I chirp, unusual for me, but hey, today's an unusual day, and I feel like messing with the others. The looks on their faces is priceless, I allow myself to let out a satisfied and intentionally smug sounding giggle. "Ok who are you and what have you done with Sandra" jokes CC, I laugh and slap his arm. "Whatever Coma", I roll my eyes at him. "Oh guys, I met this girl in music today, I didn't catch her name, but she seems cool, didn't really talk, but my gut says she'd fit in with us. I think she's shy and maybe has trust issues, I could tell by the way she talked and acted" I say, concluding my odd mini-speech with a nod.
"you should have asked her to sit with us, unless you think she's too nervous for that?" Andy says, finishing his sentence in a questioning tone. "I was going to ask her, but the second the bell went off she had her stuff packed and was gone, by the time I was out the door myself she was no where to be seen". After a few minutes of random talk and lunch trading, Jinxx finally perks up, "soooooo... who's are we practising at?" he looks around expectantly. "Oh mine! Mine!", we all laugh at CC's childishness. "Ok CC calm down, we'll practice at yours" Jinxx says as he strokes CC's head, like you would an over-excited puppy. The comical sight sends the rest of us into fits of tears and laughter.
*Dakota's POV*
Once I'm settled, I pull out my food and ipod, today I will be eating one mini can of spaghetti, a mini twix and a strawberry fruit stick... yum, all while listening to... hmmm... who should I listen to?... Bella Ferraro? no... MCR? no... P!ATD?... nah... oh! I know! Jeffree Star!. I put my earphones in and press play after getting Jeffree Star up, then dig into my little meal of pure yumminess...
All too soon lunch is over, I had turned off my ipod when I was done eating, so I could read the rest of lunch. Right now i'm reading The Last Vampire, it's really good. I sigh and pack my book and ipod and, once I'm sure no one's around, I crawl out of my space and rush to my last class of the day, agriculture. I spend the whole class doing odd jobs around the school farm, feeding the guinea-pigs, washing the schools two little shetland ponies, and other little jobs I could do by myself. Mr Daniels is so laid back, he was a farmer for years, and was asked to teach farm and ag at our school, I don't get him for farm though, I get Miss Willdew for that.
*****Time Lapse*****
I'm walking home, can't go to my tree today after the blow up with mum. I'm blasting Pierce the Veil, their a young band, i'm pretty sure their still in highschool, but fuck their good, just as good as Short Stack, another young band. I wish I could see them, but PTV are American, and Short Stack are in Budgewoi, that's WAY too far from here. Wait what was that? That bag just moved.... I open it to reveal three kittens, two calico and one black and white, the poor things are half-starved and severely malnurished.
I change my route to head to the vet clinic that's near my house. After handing them in to Judi, the head vet and my only human friend, I head home, with a little black and white runt hidden in my jacket. I think I'll call him Scout.....
Notes
Well here it is... FINALLY, haha
my cat violet is still missing, im glad I at least have my other animals to distract me, including my new kitten my neighbour gave me the other day, he is by no means a replacement, no animal could ever replace her.

I hope everyone had fun on new years, have a happy new year
@Lucifer
Thank you I do :) and don't worry I haven't forgotten the brumby, she goes to see him when she can but isn't 'pushing it' with his training, she's letting him get used to her presence first. And no problem, I love Spirit so using a song from the movie was awesome haha its coo to hear another persons point of view on the whole 'Mr. Pierce/Koda 'relationship'' thing. By no means do I condone the kind of thing that's going on there, but I wanted to give it a different feel to it that confuses the reader in some way at least. I'm very happy that y liked the chapter, I hope the next one is also to your liking haha :)
