The New Kid

I woke up to the hot Friday morning. I curled up even tighter trying to warm myself. After a while I got up and headed down stairs.

It was inviting with warmth. I headed to the kitchen where I found strawberries, I ate the bitter berries with delight before heading back to the safety of my room.

I grabbed a pair of shorts with suspenders and a Pink Floyd tee with my regular Converse high tops.

I left my short faded pink hair down, it fell perfectly down to my shoulders. I left my room and went to the bathroom.

I dashed a little bit of powder foundation on my face, and brushed my teeth. To get rid of the stench of death I used perfume.

I left my house quick to head off to school. As I was heading down the road I saw him.

The new kid.

I rushed over to Nikki's side. We gave a quick hug with a warm embrace.

Nikki and I are about the same height which makes it easy to hug. Nikki had her long black hair in two loose braids which was a new look. Her pale complexion matched well with her hair.

After heading to first I sat sleepily listening to Ms. Johnson she introduced the new kid almost immediately "This is Alex Fox, he is a new transfer"
