Description
Pina pushed open the doors to the high school, the halls filled with students in uniforms. Pina felt like the grinch, and a whore, her skirt and shirt being two sizes too small. Her hair was pulled into ponytails, and her hello kitty backpack was cuddled to her face, Pavi's head sticking out with a teddy bear smile. She kissed his head as the bell rang. Pina hurried to the locker with her insignia on it and stuffed her items in. Her first class was math. Easy enough. She took out her math textbook, folder, and her notebook. Pina stuffed these things into her backpack and slung it over her shoulder, opposite of her messenger bag. She took Pavi out of the bag and stuffed it in the purse-like bag. The pastel-green-haired girl took off into the hall, the second bell sounding as soon as she sat down. The desk layout was strange, of course, she had never been to a school in England, but she was pretty sure there weren't two lines of desks lined side by side to each other in front of the teacher's desk. She shrugged and looked at the people sitting next to her. On one side, a boy with dark purple hair and golden eyes that burned like the sun in midday Summer heat. He was wearing his uniform white shirt under a black sweater with a hood and plaid shorts that he had attached a silver chain to. His purple hair was slung over one of his eyes, exposing a cross earring on his left ear. He looked at her.

" ... " He made a slightly confused noise as he inspected her outfit as well, he immediately turned away. Pina sighed and looked at her left. Not here. The door burst open with a boy who apologized repeatedly to the female teacher. Pina inspected the teacher and the boy.

The woman who seemed to be her math teacher was extremely attractive, her long brown hair accenting her ice blue eyes. She wore glasses and had a short, plaid skirt that, unlike Pina's, didn't look skanky, but beautiful. She wore a bow with the letter " M " on it, tied around a white collared shirt under an argyle sweater. She nodded, " You'll be sitting by..." She leaned over her desk and looked at a sheet of paper before writing on the board, " Pina Taken. The green-haired girl in the back. " She wrote a name on the board as the boy hurried off to sit by Pina. " Alright, class, my name is Pashmina Mender. You will call me... Mistress... Mender..." She drew a line under her name and set her chalk down, turning around. " Today, we will not have math class, but instead get to know each other. I have printed sheets with questions that will help people know more about you. Alright.... Espio?"

The boy who had sat by Pina stood, he had purple hair and yellow eyes, almost similar to the boy on her left. He was wearing the standard uniform, white shirt and khaki pants. He left for the front and took the papers. He passed them out to every desk and sat down. Mistress Mender smiled, her lipstick and elegant mole, probably drawn on, pulled into a small smile, " Thank you, Espio. Alright, we will be presenting these papers, so please fill them out truthfully, with your name, and fill out every blank. You may begin." She sat down and crossed her legs, beginning to write and scribble on a pad and some papers.

Espio took his pencil and his hand was shaking, his face was red. He clearly wasn't used to being late. Pina frowned and sighed, taking her pencil and examining the paper...

Please write a short essay about yourself and life.

Pina tilted her head, What the hell kind of test is this..? She thought. She shrugged and filled it out. About 5 minutes later, Mistress Mender stood. " Alright, class! We will assume that you are finished. Is there anyone who is not finished yet?"

The boy on Pina's right shot his right hand up, scribbling away with his left hand. He had to pull out a sheet of extra paper and continue with his essay. Mistress Mender smiled, " I see. I'll give you 5 more minutes, okay?" His head bobbed in agreement as he tried to hurry.

5 minutes later, the first person called up was the same boy that had been trying to hurry. He walked to the front of the class in a slumping series of movements and he turned to face the class beside the teacher's desk. His words were deep, and gave a sense of calmness to who heard them, his voice slightly raspy, but quiet enough for you to hear every word and not be loud at all. He began.

" My name is Nathan Scissors... My favourite colour is black. My favourite animal is the water basilisk. My favourite literature is ' The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. My favourite book genre is horror, and my favourite music genre is metal. My favourite art style is gore. People have often described me as heartless, uncaring, and freakish. If I were to be any vocation, I would be a Graverobber. My favourite food is any type of beef. In a friend or lover, I look for someone who... I... Um... Didn't write anything down..."

Mistress Mender nodded, " Thank you, Nathan. It's fine if you couldn't finish, we'll learn more over time. Did you do the essay?"

" I... Wrote a poem..."

" Neat! Why don't you read it to us?"

He nodded and cleared his throat.
" Under the weeping willow I lie,
sorrowful and lonely.
The only one I've ever had gone,
and he was the one and only...
The one and only that could make me smile.
What could make me happy.
His smile was the world to me and I threw it all away.
What I wouldn't do to...
Change... That resentful day...
My brother is dead.
Dead at my hands.
Jail is too good for me.
An asylum is where I should be.
An accident is what they said.
I hate this...
I'm so sorry..."

Though most of the class was hiding it, a lot of the girls were crying, including a boy, Pina, and Espio looked extremely depressed. Even Mistress Mender dabbed her eyes with her kerchief and nodded, " Um... Thank you... Thank you, Nathan. You may sit. Pina... It's your turn."

Pina nodded and stood, pulling down her skirt in the back as Nathan re-seated. She took the paper and walked to the front of the class, staring at her paper and resuming in a slightly anxious tone.

" M-my name is Pina Taken... My favourite colour is red, because it is the colour of blood... My favourite animal is a cat because they are agile, strong, clever,and smart. My favourite literature is The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe and my favourite book genre is manga. My favourite music genre is video game themes, mainly pixel horrors. My favourite artstyle is anime horror. Words people use to describe me are bitch, whore, slut, fat-ass, prostitute, freak, sadist and murderer. For vocation, I want to be a nurse and opera singer. My favourite food is blood-caked panda cookies and ramen. In a lover, I look for someone who actually loves me and doesn't treat me like a hooker. In a friend, I look for someone who actually cares about me and doesn't blow me off and insult me constantly... Um... " She clears her throat, " For most of my life, I have lived in my room and my room alone... For three years, I was a prostitute because I ran away from home and needed money, it is not illegal in my home town, and so I wasn't arrested. I often visited the plaza on GCD where the tradition is to kill the youngest girl in the poor population by performing the bloody eagle, which is when someone rips out your spine and cuts an eagle into your lungs while you are awake and alive. In the town, opera was a prized tradition, one of the best I've heard was about a wolfe who killed the entire Yiddish population and left a small girl who cried about her dead mother and the wolfe raised her as her new mother. Another thing that we did in Shi city was home school, due to the slightly toxic atmosphere being dangerous to children of young age. This home school was comprised of multilingual practices. The three main languages of my town are Italian, Japanese, and English, but most citizens are forced to know many more. Thank you..." Pina walked back to her seat and sat a little awkwardly, girls glaring at her, and boys giving her predatory, evil, gross snarls and smirks.

" Um... Thank you, Pina... That was... Interesting. " The bell rang. " Alright students, sorry that we only had time to do the first two students today! We will continue tomorrow! Good bye!"

The students stood and walked into the hall. As soon as Pina was in the hall, she rushed to the bathroom where a group of girls followed her. She stepped into the bathroom and stared into the mirror, turning around. " Oh... Um... Hello..." Pina muttered before she was pushed into the wall by a girl with white hair and icy eyes that could cut through metal, " Your story was so stupid! Ugh, stupid girl, why don't you go back to your bimbo town? Here's a newsflash, you look like your uniform is lingerie, whore!" The girl slammed her again into the wall and Pina yelped, " I-I don't understand, M-miss, ple-"

" Miss? Do I look like an old woman to you, bitch? My name is Aya, learn it, stupid! God, do you even know what two plus two is?"

" I-it's four..."

" Oh. My. God!!! She doesn't even fucking know what sarcasm means! Ugh! You are such an idiot! Why don't you go sell yourself to some perverts!?" She pushed away Pina and wiped her hands on her sides, " Gross... Come on, you guys." Her group followed her out of the bathroom, leaving a confused Pina.

" Wh... What did I do..?"
