My Reality

I don't want to go to school today. For one, I have that stupid monologue I have to preform for CC/Mr Coma. Two I have a unit test in math. Three being I have to begin my community hours after school with Andy. I don't have my monologue rehearsed and Andy's the last thing on my mind. I decide to go to school anyways because I'm already behind.

I grab my script for my monologue and rehearse it in the drama room. It's lunch time so no one's here. I get on the stage and begin.

"Last night, my boyfriend told me some news. At first I was calm and collected, but then I was infuriated. How dare he?" I say and smack the table in front of me. I continue.

"How dare he tell me this? I thought he loved me! I thought we'd run away with each other and live happily ever after! But no, not after what I found out." I sit on the edge of the stage.

"I looked him right in the eye and slapped him across his face. I stormed off and he didn't chase after me. That's how I knew he never loved me. I cried myself to sleep last night. I should have known it was too good to be true. Last night I found out my boyfriend only went out with me because my dad paid him to."

I liked the way it went and so did someone else because I began to hear clapping. I turn around to see Ashley/Mr Purdy walk out from CC/Mr Coma's office.

"Nice work, where you get the script?" He asks.

"I made it myself." I say softly, embarrassed he was listening the whole time. He begins to walk towards me.

"It's most likely you'll ace this class, well done Scarlet." He says.

"Thank you." I say before walking at a speedy pace out of the room. I walk right into Alexis and mutter an apology. She grabs my arm, turning me around.

"My bad." She says confusing me.

"No it was my fault, I'll leave you before you have to hit me." I say.

"I hope you know the only reason why I've ever laid a hand on you is because of Katie and Taylor. I actually think you're kind of cool. I mean you listen to things like All Time Low, Pierce The Veil, and you like Batman."

"So what exactly are you saying?"

"When there's a day Taylor and Katie aren't here, you don't have to worry bout your safety." With that, she walks away. I guess we all do things because we're scared of what others think instead of what we think.

I walk to my locker to get my English notes when Ricky approaches me.

"Would you be able to meet with me after school?" He asks, I'm puzzled and just stare at him blankly. "Look I found out some information and I thought you'd want to know about it." I nod and he walks away as the bell rings.

I put my notes in my bag and walk to my drama class. The monologue was awesome and Coma gave me 89%. The bell rang for English and I decided to take a short walk around the school before showing. After my little fifteen minute walk, I entered the classroom. Andy stops what he's saying and looks at me.

"Miss Kanes, how nice of you to show up. Do you have a late slip?" He asks.

"Well no." I say feeling embarrassed as the whole class stares at me.

Andy writes on a sticky note and grabs a couple pieces of paper stapled together. He hands them to me with a smirk. "You need to take that sticky note down to the office; and then, you'll be working on that package in the resource room." I look at him hurt to make him feel some kind of guilt. I turn around and start walking to the door. "Scarlet I almost forgot," I turn to him, "you have Saturday detention so be sure to be in the library at noon." I glare at him and walk out of the room.

What an asshole! I knew he never truly liked me! I knew he was playing with me! I just knew it all. I look at the sticky note he gave me.

*Meet me in the auditorium after school*

I crumple it up and throw it in the nearest garbage. I take out a sticky note from my bag and write;

*Fuck You*

I put it on the little window of his door so the whole class can see. I go back to my locker and grab all the stuff I need to work on. I force all my binders and textbooks into my bag and slam my locker shut. Now what? I have fifty minutes of nothingness.

I swing by the music room. Good, no one's here. I grab an electric guitar and an amp. I take them down to the auditorium and get up on the stage. I plug it in and begin to play one of my favourite songs, and I slowly began to sing it too.

"I've got a house in the back of my head
But I can't find a permanent resident
'Cause the market's down
And the area's not so good these days
I've got a watch but I don't have time
I've got a road and it leads to decadence
But a dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my footprints for the evidence
So take my life,
I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can't take it with you
More long days and fleeting nights
I tell them, "Wake me under flashing lights"
'Cause I'm a brand name bought and sold
They say a face for fame is a crying shame
Because to face the crowd is to play the game
And I can play a little too rough
Now and again
You drank the poison and I let you in
So take my life,
I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can't take it with you
You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin? You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?
So take my life,
I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can't take it with you" I sing Poison by All Time Low.

"Great job Scar!" James says walking through a door backstage that leads to the drama room. He hugs me and then gets serious. "Why aren't you in class?"

"Biersack's being an asshole." I bluntly state.

"Well there's a class going on in the drama room and we all heard you, so you might wanna find somewhere else to play your music, okay?" I nod and he kisses my forehead.

"What if I just turn off the amp and play?"

"As long as you're quiet."

"I can't make any promises."

He smirks at me and then goes back into the drama room. I sit at the edge of the stage and play a familiar tune. Someone walks in through the actual entrance.

"Scarlet, it's good I found you. I forgot to give you your test back." Jake/Mr Pitts says and walks up to me. He places the test next to me. "What are you playing right now?"

"I can't remember the name, but it's a song a heard a lot last week." I say.

"While you were in your coma?" He asks and I nod. "May I see?" I hand him the guitar. He starts playing it a lot better than I was.

"You know the song too?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's called Carolyn." How the fuck did I forget? "So you just heard it in your coma?" I nod, "That's strange. I'll tell you what, you work a little harder on this song. You play it for me on Wednesday at lunch and I'll give you more songs like this to play, deal?"

"Deal."

When the final bell rings, I grab my bag and walk out of the building. I don't know what the hell Ricky needs to tell me, but it's better then being with Mr Asshole right now. I'm pulled aside into my usual spot under the stairs.

"Great you came." Ricky says.

"What do you need to tell me?" I ask.

"We've both been lied to all our lives. The truth is...

Notes

To Be Continued ;)

Yesterday was completely stressful for me. My brother got hit by a car so now he has some stitches and we all have to baby him. But I did make a new friend yesterday, her name's Jayden. She's really cool, but really shy. Some of my friends don't like her and they don't even know her which is just horrible.

Q: Thoughts on prejudices?
