Monster under the bed

"get away from me you freak!"

"Don't touch me you loser I will need to throw away this t-shirt just cause your disgusting fingers touched it"

"She is a cutter... can't wait for her to die and go straight to hell"

"I heard that her neighborhood use her to scare kids who misbehave"

Hi my name is sapphire...and these mean comments are a hint of my life but let's start from the beginning...well it all started when I was four maybe five?

I don't quite remember It's just that it was always me, my mother, my dad and my older brother the big bad wolf (that's what I prefer to call him.)

Anyway life was perfect I had my family and I didn't need friends just reading and drawing.

But it all changed when my first day of kindergarten came I was perfectly ready so early in the morning even though I was never a morning type of a person I was so excited to make friends meet teachers and have more books to read.

"Okay bye I will tell you about everything when I come back" I said.

"Sapphire sweetie who are you talking to?" My mother asked.

"No one mama" I said and walked after her as I looked back and whispered "bye" to my room.

We reached my school the place seemed ok I guess...with colourful walls so bright that it hurt my eyes circular tables so every 4 or 5 kids sit together ,a shelf full of educational toys and big green carpet to sit on when the teacher talk with us.

All the kids looked at me with disbelieve and I don't know was it because it was my first day or because I was wearing a black dress and a hair tie with a skull on it.

The teacher with a kind smile but tired eyes she introduced me to the kids as they sat on the carpet while I was standing beside her.."Now everyone say hi to sapphire... you all remember how your first day was hard and scary? So I expect you to treat her nice and be good friends okay?" The teacher said

All the kids said in one voice "we will!"

"Sapphire would you like to tell us a bit about yourself?"

But I stayed silent

"How about your hobbies ?your mama told me a lot how imaginative you are" the teacher said trying to encourage me

"Well..."

"Yes?"

"I like reading and drewing my friends"

"Oh... you are a good friend I see"

"Thanks... I really love them all but my best friend is boogy"

"Boogy...does he live near you?"

"Yes so near that my mother doesn't even notice him, he lives under my bed" I said excitingly didn't know that my imaginary friend creeped everyone including the teacher.

"Do you mean the boogyman?" Some girl asked

"Yes my brother said that he is hiding under my bed so I should be careful cause he may eat me but I gave him once a sandwich and he didn't eat it so I think he won't eat at all...and I felt bad for him cause he is always hiding down there...so we became really good friends but only in the dark that's why I couldn't bring him with me" I answered cheerfully

"So you play in the dark?" A boy asked

"Yes I do, I love the dark"

"She is a witch!" A girl cried

The teacher punished me by sitting on the nighty chair during recess cause she saw what I did as a mean joke to scare my classmates even though I didn't get what I did wrong but all I knew that this is how my life will always be from that day on.

Now I am 16 I started high school and I am still called to be the scary girl even though I no longer use the boogyman as my imaginary friend anymore cause I already made real ones they are not the most popular or smart girls in school but they have a heart of gold Macy and Joline they never asked me to change who I am but unlike most friends in our age there character wasn't a reflecting mirror to mine

Cause now I am the creepy goth who is wearing it all black, have cutting marks on my arms, black lipstick and always late for class just like today I am so late I needed to run to class that's when I bumped into Alex my nemesis since my first day in kindergarten he is always trying to make my life complete darkness but what he doesn't know is that I was born for darkness and it is where I belong

And he usually call me...

"Hey ghoul girl" he said stopping me

"What do you want Alex?" I asked so annoyed knowing that now I will be more late then I was going to be

"You" He said smirking

"Aren't you the famous jock why don't you get yourself some Barbie doll who is a cheer leader?"

"Ohhhh... playing hard to get? I like it" he said coming even closer to me

"Oh I play hard to get with the guys hard to want" I said roasting

"I will act as if I didn't get that, so movies maybe a horror one will be relaxing to you? You available?" He asked sarcastically

"Oh I am valuable not available sorry not sorry" I said and ran down the hall again.

I am now more late then ever Mrs. Madison is surely killing me

"Miss Damian you are late... again!" She said sharply

"Something came up" I answered coldly

"Like everyday since the first day... I don't know why can't you be like your older brother Jeff he was an amazing student"

I just kept rolling my eyes feeling like that I do rather be the late mischief student then be a big bad wolf.

"Pssst... what stopped you this time?"Jolien asked

"A battle with the enemies" I answered refering to Alex

"Your archenemie or his soldiers?!" Macy asked refering to the football team and the cheerleadrs

"The one and only" I answered shaking my head

"How did it go?" Jolien asked

"Postponing the Cold War to another hallway meeting"

"You go girl!" Macy praised me

That's when Mrs. Madison interrupted us

"Girls!...why don't one of you get up and answer this question?...how about you miss Damian?"

"What was the relationship between the USA and the USSR after world war ll?"

I didn't know what to say so I just ended up with "a cold war occurred which caused a lot of negative effects" I tried to say it in the most confident and smart voice

"Wow...miss Damian I am actually impressed... you answered correctly" Mrs. Madison said with shocked eyes

As I sat down me and the girls couldn't stop laughing cause somehow we learned in the school's hallway more then it's classes.
