11. 33%

"Did you know 33% of all statistics are made up on the spot?" Math class, Thursday morning, sitting alone in the back corner, and I hear a chipper voice. I look up.

Frothy-frizzy brown hair. Warm dark eyes. A huge smile.

"Did you just make that up?" My own voice, so dull in comparison.

"Of course I did. That's the joke, silly." She laughs like silver bells on a crisp winter morning. Has she always sat beside me, this angel, and I just never noticed?

I coax a smile onto my face, so unused to that motion. "Ah. I get it."

So I noticed! I'm actually really excited to start on this. It took me a while to find a 100 Themes list I liked.

62. Irregular Orbit

There's something about Richard that pulls people in. A gravitational pull stronger than the earth's. He laughs, and everything seems to quiver.

He'll never be mine, and I know it. He belongs to that redhead with the cackling laugh and the short words.

But perhaps I can content myself with circling him when we meet at a bookstore, captivated by his smile, a mere satellite to his glowing, shining; I writhe in internal agony every time he deigns to smile in my direction.

Only too often. Sometimes I almost seem to forget, he'll never be mine.

Ohh, I really like the concept to Irregular Orbit. Reminds me of one of my drabbles on a similar concept.

I look forward to reading more. ^^

Thankies! Richard and the narrator, Susan, are characters I've dealt with in RP. I'll be writing more from Susan's point of view. And some from my character Francine, too.

26. Forever and a Day

After dinner, we sat on the couch and ate cake. And Christy, she had a spot of chocolate on her face. Jasmine told me to lick it off. And I did. And then Christy kissed me. Soft, warm, sweet. She kissed like someone who knew what they were doing.

Soft, warm, I leaned into her side when the cake was done, and Jasmine and her beau were upstairs doing who-knows what. I could have stayed there forever, simply curled up against her, talking. Kissing.

"You'd better get home, or else your cat will hate me."

She was right. Medea was still just a kitten, and she loved cuddling me to sleep. "She'd hate you forever and a day." I sighed. "You need to meet her at some time."

"Maybe tomorrow. We'll do lunch after you get off work."

But tomorrow came, and we didn't have lunch. It's something I almost regret. And will almost regret forever and a day.

70. Bitter Silence

There were words spoken. I didn't hear them, no, but I could tell their tone from across the room. The man, scars angry on his hands under the gloves, hair black going grey, loomed over the woman. She was tall, too, but didn't seem to dare to use it, shoulders hunched and brown eyes clouded. Guilt.

And him? He was livid. Rage barely contained. A couple times he tensed like he was about to slap her. But he never did, just spat out words I was glad not to hear.

And when he left, she collapsed into a seat and buried her head in her arms and held back her tears. And he walked away into the night with the streetlights bright catching on his hair.

Between the two stretched a frozen and a broken silence. It made me want to scream.

1. Introduction

I hate shaking hands. Thick-fingered clumsy work-rough hands and I've been clocked from them alone before. And my voice. The voice is hard.

Brooklyn introduces me as a pretty woman, and Ed calls me a flower girl. And both of those make me so warm to hear, but still, I hate undoing the dainty impression.

"Hello, I'm Mercy." And how they all accept that at face value, not realizing that I chose that name, that I wasn't born Mercy. It always gets me.

They always get me. I hate introductions.

46. Reflection

(Note: this is not me. This is a RP character I've had a while, and I've got the mental image of her in my head.)

I don't know what people see when they look at me. I see a mess.

I'm tall, around six feet. Skinny, almost to the point of sickly. Skin and bones, and when I cross my arms I look like a bundle of twigs. No breasts to speak of (good, Mom died of breast cancer). My wrists are knobbly, and I can count each rib individually.

I dress in t-shirts and jeans, because there's no point in putting nice clothes on a stick figure. Just like I don't tend to do anything with my hair. Limp hanks of black hair, useless. I usually just tie it back in a ponytail.

My face isn't all that pretty. I take that back, it's not pretty. Too long and drawn, almost horse-like in shape, with big, dumb brown cow eyes. When I'm not aware of myself, I can look vacant, like a skittish pony.

When people are kind, they compare me to Cher or Imogen Heap. I feel like that's a terrible joke. Neither of those women have the awkwardness I do. None of them are so broken-down.

This is me. This is what I see in the mirror, my reflection.

I hate mirrors.
