Just a bunch of friends (Dark**light, Harley)

Maggie (not my real name) awoke with a start. Her loud alarm beeping at 5:30 in the morning startled her awake, not a good start to the day. Maggie sat up in bed. It was still dark out. "i hat my life" She thought. She thought this almost every morning as she woke, even though she didnt mean it. Maggie tossed her daffodil quilt off of her body and swund her legs over the side of the bed. She got up and headed downstairs, her fuzzy blue snowman pj pants nearly falling off her bottom. A dog had eaten the drawstring, and now they were way to big. Maggie sleepily ambled down the steps, and saw her mom in the open kitchen on her computer checking emails. Her mom was an early riser naturally. "good morining honey. i love you." Maggie's mom said. Maggie didnt respond her brain was just too tired for talking. She went to the pantry and looked up with her squinted eyes. (my eyes get really dry when i wake up). No good ceral. just honey oats and stale fruit loops. Then she remembered her mom had gone shopping yesterday and had gottne nutella. She reached for the nutella and wehen to the toaster to make herself some nutella toast. when it was done, Maggie spread the nutella on the hot toast, folded the bread in half, and peeled of the outer crunchy layer of taost with her teeth. (i know its weird but its how i do it.). then she ate the rest, the crispy bread remaining. Maggie realized that her big sister was going to drive her to school today instead of taking the bus, and therefore had woken up and hour earlier than she could of. She went upstairs and took a hot shower, scrubbing her body with a toenail scrubber with soap on it. (once again, you are learning my weird quirks. ) When she was in the shower, her twin sister told her to not be too long because she wanted to take a shower this morning too. Maggie got out of the shower and grabbed her towel. She got dressed. Maggie was now free to do whatever untill 7:00. She wasnt used to this free time. She went and woke her black lab up by accident, but then gave her a belly rub and excitedly exclaimed, "its the morning cassie! its the morning!" She ran outside and did tried to fly. (a lucid dreaming reality check.) She was now totally awake. Maggie even had enough time to make her bed! It was crazy! Then, she, her twin, and older sister got in the car and drove to school listening to christmas songs on the way there.

When Maggie arrived at school, she went to her locker and packed for her first class. Spanish. She left to go to advisory. She smiled at her friend who walked in the room and sat down next to her.

Suzanna (loll...I like my name so I used it) woke up and stared out her window. Ugh....I hate the mornings... she thought as she trudged down the hall. She opened a door next to the stair railing. The bathroom. She took a box of strange patches out of the cupboard. Her ADHD patches (something wrong with me... ). Then an obnoxious beeping began in the room next to hers.
"Marisa.." Suzanna grumbled. She walked back down the hall and opened a door next to hers.
"Marisa...kill it...NOW" Suzanna growled. Marisa rolled over and knocked the alarm clock off the night stand. The alarm clock batteries fell out...but it stopped beeping.
"I meant the noise...not the clock." Suzanna said (true story). She went back into her room and then changed out of her t-shirt and plaid pj pants. (idea of what she was wearing and how she wore her hair: http://allaboutstyle.blog.com/files/2011/08/01.jpg ) She yanked out a green t-shirt and some jeans. Then she looked in the bed on the other side of her room. Her sister Robin was sprawled over the bed in a mess of hair, blankets, and sheets.
"Robin....robin..." Suzanna said, poking Robin. By now Suzanna was awake...sort of. Robin woke up and rolled out of bed.
Literally...
She rolled out of the bed, covers still on her.
"There's a reason why mom and dad didn't want you sleeping in the tall bunk bed...I think you know why now." Suzanna said. Suzanna walked over to the other side of the room and crawled up the ladder to her bed. She sat on the edge, waiting for Robin to wake up. Marisa walked into the room and pulled Robin by her arms into the closet. Robin woke up with a start. The three of them walked downstairs and shoved brown paper bag lunches into their book bags. Then they each grabbed a coffee thermos.
"Decaf?" Suzanna asked.
"Nope." Janice replied. Janice was Suzanna, Robin, Selena, Robin, Marisa, and William's step-mom(all my siblings). Five people piled into a black van. Three walked to school. Those three all went to the same school...and the school was within walking distance. Suzanna checked her watch. 7:30.
"Crap..." Suzanna hissed. Though the school was within walking distance...it was also within running distance.
"We gotta run guys. It's 7:30." Suzanna said, her voice had a twinge of alarm.
"Maybe we wouldn't have to walk if ROBIN hadn't slept in." Marisa said.
"Let's not place the blame!" Suzanna said. Then she remembered something...important. "Crap! I forgot to put on my patch!" Suzanna continued.
"Well then you should be able to run...c'mon. Let's go." Marisa said.
"Hey hey hey...you guys know running is NOT my thing." Robin said.
"Well then have fun being late." Suzanna growled. Marisa and Suzanna bolted down the sidewalk. Robin leisurely walked. Suzanna raced into the halls and skidded to a halt at her locker. Marisa was two grades above and Robin was one grade above. So the three never had classes together. Suzanna grabbed her things for her class and bolted to first period. In the hallway Suzanna ran into her sisters. Robin was there.
"Oh...so her royal highness actually ran." Suzanna joked.
"Not a fun experience..." Robin grumbled as she walked down to her first period class.
"What's her problem?" Suzanna asked.
"Everything." Marisa said.
"Seriously...has running like made her mad or something?" Suzanna said.
"I think she's mad we made her run." Marisa said.
"Alright...well I gotta go to first period." Suzanna said as she broke away from Marisa. Suzanna walked down a flight of stairs to her Spanish class. She sat right next to her best friend, Olivia and pulled out her Spanish binder. She grabbed a sheet of notebook paper and ripped it out of the binder.
Y do they make us take spanish? Y can't we just take German or something. I'm German anyways (lol...another true fact bout me...this isn't part of the note)....
Easy A... Suzanna wrote on the paper. She slid it across the desk to Olivia before the teacher started to...well...teach. Suzanna wasn't known for paying attention in class but she was a fast learner. She wouldn't ever pay attention in class but she got A's and B's on all the tests. She tuned out what she already knew and only took 20 seconds to learn a new subject in every class. Suzanna started to tap her pencil on the desk as she waited for Olivia to reply. (Yes..I am that wierd kid that taps their pencil in the back of the class.... it's what I do.)

[horsegodess]

(i changed her name to maggie by the way.)

Maggie hesitantly took the paper, not wanting to get in trouble. She opened it up and read the note. She shrugged to Suzanne with an "i dont know but im not gonna worry about it" look on her face. Maggie ran her fingers through the left side of her hair. This was what her friends called the poof, or the bush. The teacher had a special game today where each student would unwrap a layer of tissue paper of a present, and each layer had a question on it. When the present got to Maggie. She read the question and began to awnser, but the number 15 was on there and it wasnt in spanish. "wait." maggie said to the confused class. "im trying to find a number" She counted on her fingers and it took quite a longer time than it should have. (actually happened today and i was embarrassed) Maggie was good with spanish vocab and all of that, but she was particularly bad a fluency, numbers, and speaking. She passed it onto the next person. She tucked her short wavy/curly hair behind her ear and watched the others open the present. As she was looking at the people around the room, she wondered where her other friend was.

Della groaned as her Ipod went off, rolling over and opening her eyes to look at the faint light that came in from the hallway. She heard a small mew and grinned when she saw her cat bounding towards her. "I don't get to sleep for five more minutes, do I?" Della asked, running her fingers through the soft fur behind the cat's ears. A loud purr was her response. "Nope." The girl sighed, and unlocked her beeping Ipod. "Eight hours, 48 minutes and 36 seconds. Still not enough.." She groaned, and crawled from the overly soft bed, landing on the cold carpet covered floor with a thud. Her cat leaped down beside her, sniffing at her tangled brown hair and half closed eyes. "Kitty, not now." The door creaked open, and Della glanced up to see her father peeking in. "I'm up, I'm up!" He closed the door without saying anything, and Della snapped on the light. the clothes hangers clicked against the pole they hung on as Della rifled through her clothes ,pulling off a brown shirt with a sepia colored goat on the front. She slipped it on over a smoky grey cami, grumbling as she fumbled around with her pants as well. Della made her way out to the living room, yawning. "Tired?" Her father asked, chuckling at her frizzy hair. "Unusually."

The classroom was annoyingly loud that morning, and Della trouped with her usual sigh. The teacher greeted her with a smile, and she waved. "Spanish. Whoopee." Della swore that the teacher made this class worth while. It didn't matter that others called her the teacher's pet. She plopped down at a desk, waving groggily over at Suzanna.

(the number thingy.. I time how long I sleep to see if I get enough lol, and I used my real name to)

[horsegodess]

(okay.)

Maggie saw Della walk in and gave her a soft smile. At the end of spanish class, the teacher handed out little bags full of chocolate and candy saying "feliz navidad!". "thank you" maggie said as the teacher placed a baggy on her desk, forgetting to speak in spanish. When they were dismissed form class, Maggie got up and walked towards Della and Suzanne's desks. "what do you guys have next?" Maggie asked. "i have a free, but im taking a math test".

(aslo guys, not only do i want to make the personalities similar, but i also want the day to go similar. you know? i took a math test today during my free. i had spanish first period.)

[Dark**Light]

(the forgetting my patch thing in my first post happened that day. It was awful. I could NOT sit still)
Suzanna waved back to Della and then walked out of Spanish as quickly as she could. She still took the bag but shoved it in her bag. The last thing she needed was candy.
"Well....I have a History test...and I have algebra review...I have a test tomorrow. (Lol...in seventh grade and I am in my honors class...I have a test tomorrow...woo. said unenthusiastically) And then I have...RELA...but that's basically a free period. All we're doing is watching A Christmas Carol...the 1930's version. Black and White...ew." Suzanna said. Then she walked to her locker and packed for her next class... AP Computer Science. There was a test on that today. Suzanna growled and then saw her stepsister again.
"Where to Suzie?(Marisa calls me that all the time. annoying!)" Marisa asked.
"AP Computer Science. We have a test today and Mrs. Simmons will kill me if I am late again. G2g sistah." Suzanna said. Suzanna raced down a flight of steps, down a long hallway, to the other side of the school, and then made it into the classroom 2 seconds before the bell rang. Suzanna lunged for her seat and got prepared before Mrs. Simmons could accuse her of anything.
"Take out a number two pencil and get ready for your tes-s-s-t today." Mrs. Simmons hissed. Her voice is as harsh and a cold winter breeze. Suzanna shivered when she held out her 's' longer than needed. Suzanna pulled up her bag and rummaged through it for a number two pencil. She had, at least, 20 lead pencils...no number two pencils. Stupid grading machines. Why can't they just grade all pencil markings? I mean they're all shaded in bubbles. Suzanna thought. She raised her shaking hand and said
"May I borrow a pencil, Mrs. Simmons? I only have lead pencils." Mrs. Simmons glared at Suzanna. Suzanna looked around for her other friends for comfort.
"It is you foolish and unprepared students that bring down the average HSA scores for our school." Mrs. Simmons snarled as she handed Suzanna the pencil.
"But I was merely asking for a pencil. I have plenty in my bag. Just they're not number two pencils." Suzanna said.
"Oh ... so you want to snap at me." Mrs. Simmons growled. Her cold breath wrapped around Suzanna's face and held her gaze. Not letting her look away. Suzanna held a look of terror.
"I wasn't snapping. Merely pointing something out to the witnesses." Suzanna said, softly.
"Detention." Mrs. Simmons said, releasing Suzanna to look away. Mrs. Simmons pulled out the paper and signed her name. A Detention Slip. Suzanna shook her head and then started on the test as she was given one.
45 minutes later...
Suzanna finished her test and turned it in. Mrs. Simmons took a moment to look over the test.
"100%" Mrs. Simmons said. Her voice showed amazement, "In all my years teaching here...nobody has gotten a 100% on this test." She continued (that happened today). Suzanna shrunk back into her seat and gave Mrs. Simmons her pencil back. Suzanna put her head down on her desk and fell asleep.
Suzanna was awoken by the bell and someone shaking her awake.

(Wow, you two have a lot different school than me! I'll try and morph it so it's like that, ya know, a bigger school? All I have is social studies, science, english, two computer times, PE, math, study hall, and thats it I believe. And we finished Oliver Twist yesterday,

Della sighed, pushing her bangs out of her eyes. "I haaaaaave... presentations. Civil war, and some general crap. Ten extra credit points if we do it though, so I guess I'll have to get over this stupid speaking fear I have." She groaned, and pulled a couple of cards from her bag. "With my luck, I'll be first and make a complete and total fool of myself." Della trudged down the hallway, slipping through the doorway and placing herself next to a couple of other friends. "Civil war. Why do we need to learn about it exactly?" Della muttered. "I like it..." One of the boys snapped back, and she held up her hands in mock defense. "Woah, sorry dude. Didn't know you liked learning about a bunch of dead people."

[horsegodess]

Maggie giggled at Della's retort to the boy. "yeah im gonna go take my test now. good luck Suzanne". Maggie walked to the math office and sat down. She got out a pencil and two sheets of paper with notes on it. This was an open book quiz. A few seconds after Maggie had sat down, two other boys in her spanish class walked in and sat down at the table. One of the boys went into the back room. Maggie wrote down her name and started the quiz. Several times, the other boy in the back room asked her questions, like "what did you get fo this question?" or something like that. Maggie tried to avoid cheating and giving him awsers, and said to look at a certain part of his notes. Being the deaf person she is, Every time the boy in the back room asked a question, Maggie said "what" about five times before she actually heard him. The boy that sat across from her finished his test before her and left. Maggie finished up the quiz a few minutes after him. there was still about 20 minutes left in the free period. Maggie went to the room where the study hall is in. She always goes there during her free cause she likes to get work done, and it is about the only place in the building that you can sit down at. Maggie opened her laptop and turned on a game, as she waited for the period to be over.

(thats awsome about your 100%)

[Dark**Light]

Suzanna went to her free period and sat next to Maggie. Then two police men walked in.
"We are here for Suzanna..." One said.
"Her father was driving drunk(true) and was in an accident(true). We sent him to the hospital and when he got there...he was DOA. (false) "The other police man said. The teacher signaled me up and then we walked out of the classroom. I was in tears. (all that happened....except the DOA part.)
(sss...kinda busy right now...)

[horsegodess]

(woah. im glad your dad's okay) (sorry i didnt realize someone replied)

Maggie sat in her chair, her brow furrowed with concern written across her face. "oh no" Maggie whispered to the person sitting next to her. After the free was over, Maggie went to go find Della. It was now study hall for Maggie, but she wandered around. and looked for her friend. it didnt really matter. Maggie kept her distance from Suzanna the rest of the day. She didnt was to be intrusive. Maggie is sensitive about that kind of stuff.

[Dark**Light]

(sorry for taking so long to reply. Been having family issues and I havent been on much and I moved to my dad's house. So much Drama!)

It had been weeks since Suzanna had come to school. The principle excused her for her absence after hearing about the accident. But ever since then Suzanna was never the same. She wasn't the friendly, bubbly, person she used to be. Her skin and eyes didn't have the same glow they used to. She only weighed 88 pounds from her depression. And her arms were covered from top to bottom in cuts. Suzanna feared the day she would have to face her school again. Everybody knows about the crash and her father dying thanks to her very christian AP Computer Science teacher, Mrs Simmons, putting her on her prayer list and then writing it on her hite board.
But today....
Suzanna returned to her school.
She wasn't sure what to expect. Sneers of hatred and jealousy or open arms and 'sorrys' about her father's incident. But Suzanna took the walk of truth as she stepped out of her house that day and walked to school. She got there in time for 6th period. It was one of the classes that she was lucky eough to be sitting between her best friends.
When Suzanna walked into the office, all skin and bones, the principal welcomed her back with open arms. Suzanna suddenly felt better about her day.
She walked to her 6th period with a note from the principal excusing her lateness. When she entered the classroom the teacher saw her and gasped. She walked over to give the teacher the note and the teacher welcomed her back. Suzanna took her seat and payed no attention to the mumbling of the other students in the classroom who were talking about her return. But the only thing Suzanna could think about was how the office and her classroom suddenly became dead silent when she walked in...
