I'm running as fast as i can, but at the same time I seem to not be going anywhere. The faster I ran away, the further I have to go. When does this dark, gloomy forest end? I couldn't do anymore, for I can't keep running any longer, but i can't give up if i want to get away. My now weak body collapse onto the hard, cold ground as my lungs thirst for air. I try to pick myself up, but my body is too weak from all the running. Apart of me wants to just let myself give, but the rest of me knows that i can't and that I want to keep going. SNAP! I turned my head to see what it was, but nothing was there. ¨calm down, Caroline. It's just a noise.¨, I told myself. 'But what if it's not', I thought to myself. I slowly and quietly stood up as I got to defend myself. Everything was quiet, and even tho it was a good thing, it began to irritate me because deep down inside i know it's not a good thing for it to be silent. After a few moments, I suddenly get pulled down and my face hits the cold ground. I wipe the grass off my face, which happens to hurt because of the fall, as I turn over onto my back. The second I turned over and tried to get up, something quickly push me back down. I could see what was holding me down, but I could feel the warmth of another body. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on chest, which caused me to shorten my breathing. I look down to my chest to see that blood had began to flow out of it. First, my chest was the only thing in pain, but soon my whole body began to ache as well.

I woke up to hearing myself scream while hot tears rolled down my face. "It was only a dream...It was dream...Ha! It was only a dream!", I said to myself as i began to slightly laugh at the thought of me afraid of my dream. Soon my phone start to vibrate as music began to fill the room. I turn off my alarm as I stood up and began to stretch. I walked to my closet and began to look for something to wear so I could start heading to school. I grabbed a black dressy button-up shirt with a black skirt, along with black knee-high,some black dressy shoes and a blood red tie. After putting on my outfit, I grabbed my black backpack that had little bat wings on it, and began walking to school for I did not want to stay in my house any long at all. Well since I'm just walking to school, i'll start introducing myself. My name is Coraline and i'm a fithteen year old high schooler. I have long raven hair with blue eyes and I have pale skin. I don't really talk to people unless i'm forced to so I don't have any friends, but I do have people I sometimes talk to. The reason why I say they're not my friends because I know they don't care about me and that the only reason they talk to me is because they can't stand the thought of being alone. Then again, hardly anyone at this school can stand thought of being alone. I just learned to live it, since for so many years had to be on my own. Yes, my parent are still with me and all, but I can't tell them the things that go on because I know I'll get judge and that i'll just get sent somewhere else since they can't handle the thought of something being wrong with me. Most parents can't and that's why some ignore the child or they either send them somewhere to ¨get help¨ or send them to another family member. Theses time where the child will run away or just give up on life and take their own live so they don't have to go through any more pain. I, surprisingly, learned how to live with half of my problems and I also learned how to get use to being on my own. Well here is the place I call school.

I sigh as I began to walk into the building that was filled with teens everywhere. ¨Hey Coraline, what's with the outfit?¨, said someone from behind me while laughing. I sigh angrily for I knew they were making fun of me. In fact, this entire school does and I hate it so damn much, but there's nothing i can do because well... as much as this school says they do not put up with bullying... It's a lie, but hey what school doesn't lie about that. The only time they stop bullying is when it's either a popular kid getting bullying, a kid that they favor, or a student that the teacher is either dating or has a crush on. Got you thinking now, didn't I? ¨Come on, Coraline turn around for us so everyone can see how stupid you look for trying to look decent¨, yelled a guy who was also behind me. I wanted to just charge at him and show everyone who's stupid but I tried to walk away instead. Suddenly, someone pushed so hard to the point I fell forward onto the ground. As I was getting up, I felt my head start to throb and my hands start to shake. 'Fuck it's happening again', I said to myself in my head. ¨Hey!! Leave her alone!!!¨, I heard a male voice yell. I look up to see a male teacher, who looks like he's 20, staring angrily at everyone else around me. He have black hair with blue eyes and he was wearing a plain black sweater with a red scarf and had black jeans on. He began to walk toward me, but I quickly got up from the ground and ran down the hall. Once I turned the corner, I let my body hit the wall as I slide down to sit onto ground. ¨Fuck!!¨, I yelled as I realized that I dropped my phone when I got pushed onto the ground. I would have gone back to get, but I was too embarrassed and afraid to go back. I just sat there on the cold ground, as angry tears began to run down my face, while I held onto my backpack. ¨Ma'am, you drop- hey are you okay?¨, said a familiar voice. I look up to see the teacher from earlier. I got up quickly as I can so I could get away because I hate for people to see me cry, especially teachers, but he quickly put his arm in front of me, which didn't allow me to run. ¨There's no way i'm letting you walk around school like this¨, He said as he continued to stand in my way. ¨Ha. What do you care? All you teachers are the same, none of you care about what's going on. Just because you're new here's, does not mean you can pretend to be my friend. Believe no one here cares about the ¨school freak¨. So please stop the acting now¨, I said as I shoved him out of my way and headed to class.

Not once have I heard a person tell me something like that. I admire her courage and her words. But it can't be true about what she said, someone must care about her. And why the fuck is she the school freak?! Brrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiing!!!!! Well looks like it's time to start teaching. I walk into my first assigned class, which is English, and I see miss school freak with her head down in the top back row of the class. She sees me walking towards the desk and sigh as she begins to turn red. Hm, she is honestly a cute little thing. ¨YO,LOOK ITS CORALINE!!!! MS.SCHOOL FREAK!!!!!!!¨, yelled a male student as he walked into the class. ¨QUIET WITH THAT!!!! IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN MY CLASS!!!! SO LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE!!!¨, I yelled angrily. He began to look frighten for my sudden outburst while coraline looked shock at my actions. I felt myself turn slightly red, because of the embarrassment, as I sat down behind my desk.

Why is he defending me? Could he actually care about what is going on? What am I saying, of course he doesn't.... No one does. It's just me and myself, but still... Why is he defending me? No teacher of student has. He doesn't even know me, He probably feels sorry for me and he'll just end up treating my like the others. I sat there quietly, taking notes while he spoke in front of the class, just like the rest of the people in the classroom. Well, technically a few of them were talking, but not to where he could hear them. I was dozing off so he continued so speak till I heard him say my name. ¨Miss Coraline Evergreen, will you please read out loud?¨, he said as he smirked at me for dozing off. I wanted to be a smartass and say no, but instead I bit my lip and sighed. ¨Sure thing, Mr. Woods¨, I said as I soon began to read. ¨Fucking hell. Why does he have to stare? Jeez this new teacher is really odd¨, I thought as I continued to read. I guess I looked angry or something happened while I was reading because he look like he began to look confused. The bell rang and wanted to get out of the class as soon as possible, but of course Mr. Fucking Woods had to make me stay after class. ¨So your name is Coraline?¨, Mr.Woods asked once the last person left the classroom. ¨Yes¨, I said as calmly as possible. ¨So what was with the face you were making when you were reading out loud?¨,Mr.Woods asked trying to sound concerned. I became very angered at this for I can't stand the thought of someone pretending to care. ¨What was with you staring at me while I read out loud¨, I responded. He laughed at my answer and I wanted to laugh too. ¨Smart girl¨, He said but he then mumbled something under his breath, something that I couldn't hear because well I wasn't meant to. I decided to ignore because I honestly wanted to get out of here as soon as I can. ¨Is there anything else you want to say?¨, I said slightly frustrated. ¨Well looks like someone has attitude¨,Mr.Woods said. ¨Well won't be if someone would fucking stop pretending to care!!! And when someone would just leave me alone because honestly I don't need your help¨, I said while slamming my hand on his desk. His eyes began to twitch as his smile soon turned into a frown. ¨Well my bad for trying to help you¨, He said as his voice began to rase. ¨You don't even know me!!!¨, I yelled. He stayed silent as I began to walk out of the class. I wanted to be angry but instead I felt sad because I knew he was only trying to help me, and I would love to let but I can't let myself get close to anyone. I prefer to stay a mystery instead of being figured out because then truly no one would like me at all. Instead of walking to class, like I should have, I decided to go to the park. I went to back doors of the school, climb the fence, and began to walk through the woods like usually do when I skip a class and when I go home. My plan was to cut through the woods to go to the park, but instead I end going to the lake. Luckily, the woods are my territory since no one actually likes to come here. It's funny how there are so many bullies here yet they're all scared little bitches who push away anything that is different. I put my hands into the water, feeling how cool it was. SNAP! I turned slowly and quietly pulled my hand out of the water, as I looked around to see if anyone was around. Suddenly, someone pulled into the water and I soon became soaked while my face turn red with anger, but of course with my sense of humor, I soon began to laugh at the idea of being mad. ¨Alright who was? I know you can't be one of those asshole from my school because they would never come into the woods.¨, I said while getting out of the lake as I laughed. ¨It was me!!¨, I heard a little voice say while giggling. I looked around till I say a little brown haired girl, who is in a baby blue dress with a big hat covering her head, sitting on the ground. The closer I walked to her, the more I realized that she had dirt all over her body and she seemed to have been here for days. Also she was hiding here face with the hat that rested in her head. ¨Thank you, for not getting mad at me. My name is Sara... so lonely here. My mommy said monsters deserve to be alone so she left me here to die and she ran away... I tried so hard to find my way out but its too big... Maybe I do need to be alone? I'm just an ugly monster¨, She said as she took off her hat. She had blood red eyes, beautiful raven hair, and pretty white fangs. She began to cry tears, but these tears were made out of some black ooze. I sat down next to her and began to wipe her tears away. ¨Why aren't are running like everyone else?¨,She said as soon as she slowly stopped crying. ¨Easy, its because I'm not everyone. And to prove it, I'm gonna be your new mommy¨, I said while smiling. ¨really?!!¨, she said while getting excited. I nodded then picked her and began to walk home. ¨Why the hell do you have a three year old child with you?¨, said my dad. ¨None of your business¨, I said as I put Sara down. ¨Where mom?¨, I asked him, trying not to make eye contact. Luckily, he was watching tv.

Suddenly, I get a text from my cousin.

Emmie :)

Hey.

HI.

I thought of what you said and
So while you were in school
I went to your house and grabbed
All your thing and took them to
My extra house for you. Everything

Is set up and all and don't worry there's 

Food in the house and there's a safe with 
Money in ur room. 

omg thank you so much
emmie.

I'll pay you back one day I promise.

No need to Coraline just as long
As you promise to never sell that house
Or leave without telling me.

Okay I promise. Btw did you tell
My parents about it.

Oh crap yes I did and you need to stay away
From your dad because he did not take it lightly 
And he will try to make you stay.

¨Come on, Sara. We have to go¨, I said while her picking here up. ¨Sit your fucking down¨, said my dad as he threw his beer bottle at the wall. I never had a good relationship with him. He is always a abusive and it was made me sick how he talks about girls who are way too young for him. I can't stand but of course my mom loves him and wants to stay with him. ¨No. I'm 16 so I have the right to move out plus you and mom don't even have custody of me. Cousin Emmie does. The only reason I'm here is cause I loved mom, but she doesn't care about me nor do you. You only want me to clean your mess. I am not your fucking servant.¨,I said angrily. He pulled Sara out of my arms and threw into the couch then slapped me a crossed the face. ¨I'LL MAKE YOU MY FUCKING SERVANT¨,He yelled as he grabbed me by my hair. 

His hurting my new mommy... She's the only one who wants to help me... and he's trying to take her away from me... I jump over the couch and I bite him in the leg. I bit him till red stuff started coming out of it. Mommy then picked me up and ran out of the house with me in her arms.
