Ember groaned as she watched the dancers on the floor go about their way. She watched the King and Queen, a slight hate for them caused her to growl softly. Looking around she sighed, finally standing up and walking to the doors to the rest of the school. She felt like going outside, getting some air. Walking down the halls, it seemed slightly darker then normal, however Ember just shook it off. Finally reaching the front door, she stared at the windows.
“What the...?” confused at why the windows were blocked, she though it might have just been a prank. Pushing the door forward with all her might, it was closed shut. As if someone had locked the door and bordered it up.
“What...” she grunted, pushing more and soon opening it just a bit to let the snow fall on down her and to the floor. Gasping she quickly shut the door, causing her to stumble over the snow and falling into the wall next to the door. Groaning she fell to the floor, things seemed to spin, then go black.
* Friday *
Running down the halls, Ember finally made it to the outside world. Dressing in her jeans and a jacket, she pulled the jacket close to her body and stepped out into the snow. Smiling she ran off to the park where she met some of her older friends, here they spent the school day talking, playing and doing a few drugs. This was a fun time for her, just hanging with her friends, not at school. She wanted to spend as much time with them as she could, before being shipped off to a new foster home. However this, no know will know about. She doesn't want anyone to know about it, though wishing that one day someone would save her from it.
Coughing softly she looked at her watch, sighing she hugged her friends and put out the smoke.
“I'll see you guys tomorrow. Love you all!” she shouted as she ran all the way back to school, opening the doors wide open as the kids got ready to go to their last period classes. Smiling Ember made her way through the crowd and too her locker. Unlocking the lock she soon pulled out her backpack and her books.
“Hey Ember!” suddenly her locker closed and a group of three guys where around her. She looked at the guys and glared slightly before calming down and standing straight.
“What do you want?” The leader walked towards her and lifted her chin with his hand.
“You know what we want, you got it?” rolling her eyes she slapped his hand away and tossed him a book.
“Yeah the book is false, have fun, now move.” She spoke, brushing the guys off and slipping through them. She could hear them talking about the drug being the real stuff, god she hated being the messenger for her drug friends, but she really didn't care anymore. But this part she hated.
Yelping softly as she was grabbed out of the school and pinned to the wall outside. On her tiptoes she looked at who had pinned her, it was that leader.
“What?!” he snickered and looked her over.
“Been thinking of something you could do for me, didn't want to ask you with the boys around now did it.” his hand was at her throat, pulling her higher in the air. Gagging quietly, Ember stared at the guy.
“Let me go, I warn you!” her words took a lot to get out but she did, struggling she heard him laughing and then he pressed himself against her. Oh he thought that just because she weighted nothing and was a short girl, that she couldn't fight, think again. At a perfect moment she lifted her knee faster then her could detect. Dropping to the ground she saw him bent over in pain. She couldn't help the next thing. She lifted his head and punching his face down, raising her arm for another one when...
her arm stopped, being held back by another force, another person.
“Miss Hart, my office now!” shivering from the voice, Ember turned around to see the principle. Nodding she turned to follow the man, but not before spitting at the stupid boy. Walking into the office she sat down on the chair and waited for her detention.
“Miss Hart, this is new for you, fighting.. what happened?” sighing softly she shook her head and the man nodded,
“alright then, don't talk, but you have detention for 3 weeks now. Or I can cut it down to 1 week and you help out tomorrow with the Winter Ball Dance?” Ember's eyes shot open,
“That stupid dance thing, it's for popular kids, I wouldn't fit in, even as a helper, my hair my outfit my style.. wont work. But I don't want 3 weeks, so yeah, alright I'll help out.” sighing she agreed and was soon let go. She went to her last period class, the rest of the day was normal.
* Morning before the dance *
Ember groaned, waking up early to help out with the dance. She rolled out of bed and did her thing. Bath, clothes, hair, makeup, mirror. Standing in front of the mirror for a final check, she looked at her
hair, making it stay in place with the spray. Staring at her outfit she looked at the cupcake
shirt, her black
skinnies, and her fluffy
boots [leda's boots but black]. Sighing she looked out the window, reaching to her chair, she grabbed her familiar
jacket that she wore almost every day no matter how it looked.
Looking around she smiled and went to her window, opening it up and climbing out. Running to her school she soon busted through the doors and went into the gym. During her time there, someone started talking about the weather forecast that was predicted for tonight. She heard that they said it would snow and such. Sighing she went on with her work, until they were called over after they finished. Everyone left to get ready, Ember had to go to the dance to help out she she decided to wear a little dress to it anyway.
After her shower at home she looked at her dressed, not that many options; her
summery, or her
other dress... picking the other one she slipped it on and some black leggings. Putting the boots from before back on, she soon grabbed a older leather
jacket she hand and headed back out, soon arriving at the school.
* Back to the present *
Groaning, Ember rubbed the back of her head, slowly standing up she stared at the front door of the school.
“Must be dreaming.” Getting up, she made it back to the dance, looking around, wondering if anyone saw what she did. Her hand still on the back of her head, she walked over to the side lines and sat down in one of the chairs.
