Centophobia

I woke up on the bathroom floor, pressing a hand to my throbbing head. What the hell? Then it hit me. Fucking shit. This can't be true. It can't be happening.

I heard my phone start to go off and crawled out of the bathroom to find the stupid thing. I turned my alarm off and tossed it onto the living room floor next to my backpack. Ugh, I did not want to go to school today. Unfortunately, I had to. If I didn't not only would they call my social worker and I'd have to deal with that crap, but I would have to do school work over the weekend. Fuck that shit. I shuffled back into my room and got changed and ready. Thankfully, I had done my homework in class today so I didn't need to bullshit any answers this morning. I went to the kitchen and got my morning meds and a glass of water. Taking all of the pills at once and downing the glass. I checked my phone and decided I had enough time to do my make up. I contorted my face to have sharper cheek bones and a smaller nose. Outlining my now pink eyes in black, I decided to go big or go home. I did my usual black winged eyeliner and black shadow on my eyelid. Then taking my dark green, I gave little accents of color at the edges of my brows. I added blush and chapstick before taking my final look at myself. My eyes were creepy as hell, I missed my brown eyes, but my jeans and blood red hoodie had the sense of normality that I hid within. I checked my phone for the time.

"SHIT!" I shouted throwing my phone in my back pocket and my backpack over my shoulder. It was 6:30. If I didn't hurry, I wasn't going to be able to avoided the masses. I pulled my hoodie up and quickly ran out the door, turning around to quickly lock it. Just as I turned to run I ran into someone, knocking us both over. I looked up about to apologize, when I see Kylie.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I huffed, holding out a hand and helping her up. She was about the same height as me but more petite in figure. There was no doubting that she was a Natural Fae.

"I'm making sure you get to school." She said happily. I eyed her. She just shrugged and hooked her arm around mine. I couldn't help but laugh. She was like a life sized Madame Alexander doll.

"Where's Asshole and Dick Wad?" I asked waiting for them to pop out from around the next house.

"Devin's trying to wake up Chris and Ricky. Jinxx is probably already at school. Did you think of any questions?"

"Why are my eyes fucking pink?" I nearly whimpered. Kylie stopped walking and looked me in the face studying me.

"Guess your body is recognizing what it is, but your eyes aren't pink they are green. I don't know why you're scared though, you don't seem like the type." She said shrugging as we walked into the school.

I'm not scared. I wasn't scared. Why the fuck would I be scared? I glowered at the ground. How dare the grass be green. Stupid motherfucker.

I casually slipped away from Kylie and headed towards my first class. The door was locked so I just took a seat in the hallway opposite from the door, and started drawing. I was really feeling like Alice, so I drew object from that story. I was sharpening the Cheshires teeth when I heard three voices I did not want to deal with today.

"Looks like she lived. Wonder what she had to do to get mercy from the freaks?" Serena laughed, snatching my notepad away from me.

"They probably just felt sorry for the pitiful cow." Brittany laughed as they started tearing pages out of my notebook, deeming each one horrific or childish. I don't know why this stung so bad. I didn't want them to think they have won, but this taunting had me on the verge of tears. It was just because I was stressed. I'm stronger than them.

"Ah, look the fat bitch is going to cry." Ashley laughed.

"Fuck you, Sluts." I growled snatching up the drawings that scattered around my feet. I tried to stand up, but was immediately shoved into the lockers behind me. I bit my lip as bruises were bruised.

"Let. Her. Go." Someone growled. None of us paid them any mind. I could feel my anger slipping. I shoved my way past the bitches, but tripped over one of their feet. I caught myself just before my nose broke against the floor.

"Just go slit a vein." Brittany scoffed. I heard three heels clicking away. Someone was standing beside me, but I needed to get away. I was pissed at myself for letting the Bitch Trinity get to me. I scrambled to my feet and was immediately tackled into a hug.

"Let me go!" I shouted struggling against the body, trying to keep a hold on my emotions.

"No." I recognized that voice from yesterday. I turned around and shoved harder against the vampire.

"Let me go, Chris! Get the fuck off of me, you goddamn leech!" I shouted, not caring about the stares passing students were giving us. I was too busy thrashing against him for escape to notice what he was doing until I felt a rasps hit my nose. I froze, stunned at him. What the fuck? Did he seriously just flicked my nose?

"Bad, Little One. You do not use those derogatory terms when someone is just trying to make you feel better. You were obviously upset, no matter how much you deny it." He scolded as if I was a five year old who had drawn on the walls. I glared at him, tilting my head back so I could look directly in his eyes. I shoved away from him and threw a punch right at his jaw, and missed.

"Bad." He laughed, flicking me on my nose again.

"Asshole." Flick.

"Stop it!" I growled, earning another flick. Just more shit to stress me out. Damnit, why haven't my meds kicked in yet?! I felt my eyes water and just got even more pissed at myself. And Chris.

"Just Leave me the fuck alone." I said in as strong of a voice I could muster,, snatching my things up and running down the hall and into the girls bathroom. I claimed the handicap stall and slid against the opposing wall. I let the tears go, not making any sound as they drew lines down my face. Fuck this shit. I cursed, slapping my cheeks. I hated crying. It was ugly and useless, and I haven't done it since I started taking my medicine. I guess this is why the doctors said I had to make sure to take them every morning. Without them I was weak. I heard the bell ring for class, and got up off the floor. I smoothed out my make up as best as I could, and headed to class. The terrible trio didn't give me a break today. From tripping me in between classes to some snide comment to actually trying to start a fight. By the end of fourth period I was about to start a fucking fight with the next asshole to touch me. Of course that's when the Anti-Human company decides to grace me with their presence.

"I'm not in the mood for your bullshit, leave me alone." I growled

"Stop trying to boss everyone around. If you were human, I would have killed you by now." Jake said, taking hold of my shoulders and guiding me to my fucking tree. I whipped around and shoved hard against his chest.

"Then." Shove.

"Fucking." Shove.

"Kill Me!" Punch.

I hear Jake growl and before I could even register that I just pissed off a vampire, I was thrown over his shoulder. I saw Chris shaking his head at us as I pounded against Jake's back. I wasn't let go until Jake was in the center of the lunch circle. I was put down in the middle and Jake stepped backwards into the circle of mostly intimidating people. Everyone was standing around me, the only one that wasn't glaring at me was Kylie. I kept my shoulders back and head up as I prepared to fight til I was dead.

"Damnit, how many times do we have to tell you? We aren't going to kill you!" Jinxxed shouted exasperated. Chris flicked my nose.

"Leave me and my poor fucking nose alone!" I shouted covering it with both hands. The guys chuckled at me.

"Qae, we have some questions, you aren't going to want to answer." Devin said firmly stepping into the group. I glared at him, but before I could even move away, A Were and Vampire had each of my arms in a firm hold. I started to freak out but became artificially calm.

"What are you?" Devin asked as he cupped my head, staring into my eyes fiercely
.
"Human." The words came out without me even having to think about them. Hypnotism. Fuckers.

"What are you?"

"Human."

What. Are. You." He said in a voice that was laced with a current of power.

"Human?" I whimpered the tranquility lessening as I cowered back into my captors. I heard a gasp as I felt myself sucked into a black hole then ripped back. The hypnotism they were using seemed to let go of me when he spoke then scraped right back into me when it was my turn to reply.

"Are you human?"

"No."

"What are you?"

"Human." I heard a growl. Then Kylie's voice poke through.

"Let me try something, Dev. Qae, what species were you born as?"

"Fae."
