Elizabeth Labelle Rose i just wanna scream and lose control
throw my hands up and let it go
forget about everything and runaway, yeah I'd only just arrived in this place, really. I got off the plane like... An hour ago? And already, I was out exploring the place. Sonnisle. What a weird name. Well, I thought it was weird anyway, I'm not bothered what the others think. As I walked down the street, I took in some of my surroundings, I'd already been past a mall, a beach, a theme park and some other places, and I was feeling a little bit tired. I turned the corner and looked up at a sign. It said Sonnishore Park in large letters. Perfect, I could rest for a while here and maybe eat something. I walked in, realizing that this was a huge place filled with many trees. I was bound to get lost in here... Somewhere. Everything looked the same!
I scanned the area, looking at people running around, talking to others, and chilling out on their own. Eh, they all looked so... Tall compared to me, the short girl with blonde hair. I kept my head high though, trying not to look like the new shy girl. As I kept walking on, I saw a large group of trees covering an area. I cautiously looked to both sides of me, and behind me, just to see if anyone was looking at me. I slipped through the trees and made my way to the center, looking for somewhere to sit down and eat. Luckily I didn't have to climb a tree or anything because there was a random wood bench exactly in the middle. I smiled to myself, and walked over to the bench, sitting down, and pulling a red apple out of the bag that was over my shoulder. I took a bite out of it and looked around. Sonnisle wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I just felt so lonely.
It was now creepily quiet, and only a few patches of light touched the ground around me. Well, I like the dark, so it doesn't bother me too much. It was just that I didn't know the place too well; it was making me feel a little edgy, my phone suddenly rung, which made me jump violently. I relaxed after five seconds of feeling like an idiot and took the Samsung Tocco Lite out of my bag. It said 'Jake' on the screen. I smiled, feeling really happy and answered.
Jake! How are you? I squealed down the phone.
He laughed, which turned my smile into a grin, 'Hey Lizzy! I'm fine, I'm just calling to check on you.' He said. I imagined him smiling too, and it just made me miss him so much more. Jake was my brother, probably the person I was closest to in my family apart from my Mum. We got on really well, which is weird, but still... I'm good. It's good to know you're okay, too. I'm in the park at the moment, feeling a little bit lonely, eating an apple... Sonnisle is nice, but I just need someone to talk to. I sighed, looking at the apple. What's it like in France? He said 'um...' and then added 'hot.' I smiled. Why did we have to be so far apart? I missed Jake, Mia, Leah, my Mum and Dad... Mainly Jake and Jess (mum), then Mia, then Dean (dad) and then Leah. Me and Leah were never on the same page. We didn't see the same things though our eyes. I was the youngest and she was the oldest... It's strange. Remembering I was on the phone, I decided to speak, Obviously. There was another short pause and then Jake spoke, 'Well I should go now anyway, I'll call you again soon. I'm going to the beach - there's a party there.' I laughed, So a party is now more important than your lonely little sister? Another laugh down the phone, 'Yeah, pretty much.' I gasped, acting all shocked, Well then I know the truth now! I lote you, Jake. "Lote" is a word crossed between love and hate. I used it on Jake all the time. Have fun. Another laugh, 'I will, don't worry. Bye Shorty!'
Before I could verbally kill him, he hung up. He always called me Shorty, and he knew I didn't like it. Now feeling lonely again, I shoved the phone in my pocket and took another bite of the apple. I looked up into the parts of sky I could see. By the looks of it, it seemed to be midday. I couldn't be bothered taking my phone out of my pocket again. Laziness. I looked down at the floor and sighed, wishing someone would come soon.

so what if you can see the darkest side of me no one will ever change this animal i have become !
"jun, jun, jun... why was i compelled to write a song about you and your ex-girlfriend?" the thirteen year old murmured as he stared down at the notebook in his hands, pen on the paper as he slided down the tree, sitting on the ground. they could make a decent song out of this, though the lyrics had to be looked over, in the blonde's opinion. and... he needed to write it up in neat. with strange metallic blue eyes, the male tapped the paper with the pen, just about managing to read the scruffy and scribbly handwriting that usually only came on when he was in a rush while writing. if he was writing an essay and he was running out of time, the blonde would definitely pity the one who was marking his essay.
looking up, the male noticed that there were a few other people in the field area of the park, mostly tanning themselves as much as they could before the sun disappeared for winter, as well as mingling with their friends. the thirteen year old blinked a few times before he stood up again, writing something quickly at the end of the lyrics he had before he pressed his pen down, and slid it into the pocket of his black trousers. he shrugged his shoulders a bit before picking up his messenger bag, and putting the notebook in it. he swung the strap over his head, settling it on his shoulder before he walked off down the path, thinking. school started this monday, and it was just going to be a getting settled in week, most likely.
he started to daydream, walking at a slow pace, before he suddenly stopped by a dense area of trees. the blonde's eyes were slightly wide, and now changing to an extremely pale teal colour. he was standing very still at the less dense part and a bit light area of the small dense wood, in full view of a girl who was in the centre of the clearing in the trees. the blonde saw something dark flicker in the corner of his eye, and he suddenly turned around, eyes even wider, before he relaxed. nothing was there.
it happened again.
the year nine turned around again, a half frantic and confused expression on his face. he relaxed again, but now the hairs on the back of his neck were prickling a bit. his imagination was starting to go wild.
and he still hadn't noticed the girl in the clearing as he stood by the light of the small path out of the trees, though he should have.
WORDS} four hundred and thirty four.

By this time I'd eaten like, half of the apple I had in my hand. I wasn't really concentrating on what was happening around me, apart from the warm light I could feel on my bare arms. It was going to get colder sooner or later, I might as well enjoy it while I could.
I suppose you could say I was daydreaming really; about things I'd rather keep a secret, you know... You could guess but even if you guessed right, I'd tell you that you were wrong. It's just the way I am, and I usually like to keep myself to myself. There's nothing bad about that, is there? It's not a crime. A lot of people prefer to keep to themselves... I wasn't exactly the type of person to run around screaming my deepest secrets, and expressing my every emotion. I suppose sometimes I have to say some things out loud.
I suddenly broke from my thoughts and blinked a couple of times, now was probably the time to fill myself in with what I missed, as I looked around I told myself nothing had changed, but it was only a quick scan. I listened carefully - I could hear dead leaves being picked up by the wind, and people laughing, screaming happily and talking loudly just outside the trees. I sighed and then looked straight ahead, and then almost jumped at a boy just standing there, looking a little bit... Weird. I wondered if I should say something to him, or just leave it: run away, wait for him to go away, or wait for him to speak to me. He looked a little bit freaked out, in my eyes. Maybe there was something there? I followed where he was looking- and there was nothing there.
I kept looking at him with a weird look on my face. I took another bite of my apple and thought: I've only just come to Sonnisle, and I've already seen a psycho. I rolled my eyes, swallowing the bit of apple and sighed.
Um... Are you okay? I called over to him, trying not to make him jump. He already looked edgy, anyway, it'd probably be better if I didn't give him a heart attack. How could he have not seen me?
Psycho...

he stayed completely still, clutching the strap of his messenger bag with both hands, holding them to his chest. the blonde felt so scared whenever this happened - something flickering in the corner of his eye. it made him feel so... scared and lonely. it didn't help that, although he was a jock, he didn't have too many friends. well he had kiara cherrystone... they had met last year, in the midnight forest, but... he just didn't want to tell her. he had no idea why though. maybe he just wanted to keep that secret to himself for a while. the blonde bit his lip, wrestling with his own thoughts. he needed to tell someone, before it got even worse... he woke up sometimes in the middle of the night, covered in sweat and breathing heavily, wanting to scream but not being able to let out any sound at all. his imagination...
... was so wild. so good. so bad. the year nine hoped it wouldn't get worse.
“um... are you okay?”
the young male flinched back, thinking that there was a dark entity around here somewhere, eyes wide, before he relaxed his whole body upon realising that the voice was sort of soft and er, feminine, and light. letting his hands stop clutching his bag's strap and drop down to his side, the currently pale teal eyed male looked around to where he heard the voice, seeing a blonde girl sitting on the bench.
he blinked slowly, confusion in his eyes before he almost smiled at his stupidity. of course there was bound to be someone around in the park... it was a public place, and he had seen quite a lot of students, and adults, sitting around lazily. he properly turned around to look at the blonde haired female, blinking a few times before his eyes flickered to whatever part of the clearing he could see from there. there seemed to be no one with her, and she did look a bit new... she must've been a year eight at sonnisle academy...
“i'm... i'm fine,” well, i am now... i'm glad that it didn't last for five minutes like last time... i'm also glad jun was there to help calm me down, the blonde bit his lip before he moved a bit, going towards the other girl at a slow, ambling pace. i wish my imagination wasn't so... wild, and dark. though i guess dark is much better than seeing little pink unicorns everywhere. now that would be scary... the year nine stepped over a branch lying on the floor before coming to a stop a couple of metres from the other person.
“are you new around sonnisle...?” the blonde asked, lowering his head a bit to avoid locking eyes with her. an almost pitiful attempt at conversation, but well, the thirteen year old did not want to talk about his slight ‘fit’ at all.

He was just stood there, staring... Looking confused, scared and lonely. It was making me feel a little scared, and confused... I was already feeling lonely, so, yeah. When I spoke he suddenly flinched back and I almost gasped. There was definitely something wrong with him, I could tell. He was holding the strap of his bag so tightly, which was making me a little more edgy than I was already. Then he relaxed, realizing I was a 'sweet, innocent girl'. I would have smiled at that silent comment, but I didn't want to move. Especially when he said he was fine, when it was quite obvious there was something wrong with him. I held my breath for a few seconds, thinking of what to say. Once I knew, I breathed out again, trying not to make my voice shake.
But you're not though, I argued, my voice going a little higher in a whiney kind of way, but not quite, I saw you just then, you looked really freaked out, and you were acting a little bit like a... my voice turned into an almost silent whisper, Psycho...
I cringed at my comment, hoping he didn't hear that last part. Hopefully he couldn't lip read... I didn't want to make a bad first impression, though he DID look like a psycho in that little thing there. Staring at nothing... He made his way towards me, stepping over branches on the ground and stopping a few metres away. I never noticed until he asked me if I was new in Sonnisle that I was leaning back a little. I mentally kicked myself, closing my eyes tight and sitting up normally again. I bet he felt completely normal with the way I was acting now... Not. I noticed he was trying not to make eye contact with me, so I looked away too - at the floor, that was covered with dead brown, crispy leaves. Winter was coming soon...
Yeah, I got here like... An hour ago. So if you heard what I just said, ignore me, because I... I smiled, still looking away, I know nothing.
That's when I decided to look up at him. He looked as if he was a year older than me. Well he certainly wasn't new... Like me. If I was being completely honest, this boy was very... Nice-looking. I decided I shouldn't think about that though... At all. I'd called him a psycho about three times now so I shouldn't go all stupid and make a huge effort. A little effort wouldn't hurt though... Right?
I'm Elizabeth Rose, by the way. What's your name?

when he heard the other girl arguing back at his response, the year nine almost smiled. he was fine now, and believe it or not, that little moment was actually quite minor. he often had worse, and it was usually when he was alone. "... a little bit like a... psycho..." his head almost flicked up, but the blonde kept his head down slightly, concealing the small twitch of his mouth, almost widening into a tiny smile. he suppose he did act a bit insane at times, but it wasn't exactly his personality that did it... well, sort of... he was erratic, so his personality could change to anything at any time. the thirteen year old kept quiet and started to go over to the other person at a slow pace, before stopping some way away from her, head down, not wishing to meet eyes with her. he asked a question. he got an answer.
"yeah, i got here like... an hour ago. so if you heard what i just said, ignore me, because i... i know nothing."
the year nine shifted a bit. an hour ago? most of the students arrived on the last week of august, though, he supposed there wasn't really anything wrong with arriving on sonnisle the weekend before school started. he felt the girl's gaze on him, and he kept his head down, not speaking. of course, he actually had nothing to say, until the blonde female had introduced herself. elizabeth rose...? that's a nice name... makes her seem harmless, the jock mused to himself before finally lifting up his head, pale teal eyes meeting the other person's. often, when someone new saw the fact that his eyes were, say, extremely pale, like now, they'd make a comment about it, and then soon after, whether it be a minute or an hour or a day, his eyes would have changed colour and if that person saw them, they might start to get freaked out... the thirteen year old hoped she wouldn't make a comment.
"i'm keith gray... i'm in year nine, jock," he answered, keeping his eyes fixed on the other girl's eyes, not blinking, and if he did blink it was rather slowly. that was a habit of his - staring at something without blinking. he had no idea how long he could stare without blinking, though... keith shifted a bit, finally looking away from this elizabeth rose, and he looked just above the blonde female's head, blinking quickly thrice before he sighed. so what if she thought he was a psycho, no one couldn't change him...
NOTES} the last sentence. xDD "so what if you can see, the darkest side of me, no one will ever change this animal i have become!" xDDD

All of these silences... It was starting to get to me already, and I'd only just arrived. Back in England, there always seemed to be noise coming from somewhere, even if it was only a whisper. I told myself that I had my whole life ahead of me here, and then shuddered at the thought. My entire life wasted on this stupid island, what, did my parents want me to go insane? It felt as if I was in some stupid room that slowly gets smaller as the seconds tick by, it felt as if there was only a short space of time before I lose it, it felt as if I was all alone, with nobody to talk to, with nobody to hear me when I cry for help, it was like falling into nothing - a black hole. You never know what's on the other side - if there is one. You just don't know what to expect... I'm afraid that if I make a wrong move, something horrible will happen to me. I just don't know what it is though... Yet.
Then I forced myself to admit that it was me who was making it worse for myself. Sonnisle can't be that bad now, can it? It was a pretty island, and there were people who lived here. If there wasn't people here, then there would be no Sonnishore, no school, no nothing. Just trees and stuff... An untouched island. I'd been here for only one hour, so I can't just say there'll be nobody here for me, because there will, I just have to talk and go with the flow. Soon enough I'll have tons of friends to hang around with... Right? Stop it, there will be people here for me, there are people here for me...
[/color][/i] These small arguments with myself continued for a little while longer, I almost forgot psycho was here until I ended the silent fight. He was just there, all quiet, which was starting to get on my nerves. He seemed to be thinking, just like I was, but what was he thinking about? I wish I could read minds. It wouldn't hurt to know a secret or two... Well maybe it sometimes would, but still... Then I realized he'd heard my psycho comment... Insult... Thing. I felt a little bad about saying it, but at the same time, I felt happy to say something like that out loud. Don't ask. I don't know why either. Our eyes met for the first time, his pale teal eyes, and my greyish-blue ones. I felt nothing. It was just like seeing straight through him. Maybe I wasn't concentrating much... He introduced himself... Keith Gray. That's a nice name... Makes him sound a little mysterious. Keith Gray... I can't promise you I'll remember that, but I'll try... I tried to smile, but it just came totally wrong, my mouth just twitched, I must look really fed up. I opened my mouth to speak, and then stopped myself, should I say this? Maybe? I had to do something to make up for calling him a psycho, when he actually might not be... You have very nice eyes by the way.I looked down as I said this, and I guessed he was looking away too. He must think I'm a right bitch... *** Words: 551 Notes: HAHA! I DID IT! ^^[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/font] |

"keith gray... i can't promise you i'll remember that, but i'll try..."
that's fine with me, i suppose... don't really want someone who thinks i'm a psycho to be remembering me, a sudden glint appeared in keith's pale teal eyes as well as a small laughing smile. well, he did want to be remembered in some way, but in a good way, so... the jock suddenly remembered the other girl, elizabeth rose she said her name was, and looked up, fixing his gaze on her. she looked in thought, and the thirteen year old blinked a few times before she had said something. something that had quite surprised him.
"you have very nice eyes by the way."
that sort of caught him off guard. the blonde blinked a few times more, before he felt a small, grateful smile come onto his face."thanks for the compliment..." but their colour wouldn't last for much longer. although he couldn't see it, keith could almost sense his eyes changing colour, and they were, but to a pale purple colour. the blonde jock looked away, though not looking away from elizabeth completely - that may seem a bit rude, so the year nine kept the year eight in view from the corner of his now pale purple eyes.

Keith smiled - a laughing smile - but I kept a straight face. What's so funny? I rested my right elbow on my knee, and put my hand on my cheek, rolling my eyes. I wasn't usually this irritated, but today was just one of those days... If I ever speak to Keith again and I'm in a good mood, I'll probably surprise him with my sudden change of heart. I starts tapping my fingers on the bench with my other hand. Two days and I'll be stuck inside all of the time... Doing work... And stuff. I suppose I wouldn't mind doing music and drama and creative things like that, but then there was maths... And science... And history... All of the boring subjects. I can't stand them, or even do them to be honest. Why, oh why did they have to be so damn hard?!
All of this begins in two days. It seemed more like two hours, and I was dreading it. I never wanted the six weeks of freedom to end. Especially now I was on my own... Nobody there to tell me what I can and can't do. Nobody there to watch every move I make. Ugh, it's so annoying when you're being watched... At least that's what I think. I don't like attention much. Though it's healthy to have some attention every so often. But all of the time... No thanks.
I looked up at Keith who was looking surprised at my comment on his eyes. A noticed a small, grateful smile come on to his face, which made me relax a little, so it kind of covered the psycho thing. My eyes lit up when he said thanks.
You're welcome. I sighed, looking up into the sky.
Or what sky was there. Most of it was hidden by leaves.
Resting my eyes back on Keith, I saw he was looking away, why? Feeling a little bit nervous about him just standing there... Still... I slid across the bench. There was a big enough space for us to be both sat here, but leave a gap... Just in case.
Why don't you sit down? You're making me a little nervous just standing there like a lemon.
I patted the empty space next to me, feeling a little bit like an idiot. He probably won't want to be anywhere near me after what I said...

he heard the sound of elizabeth sliding across the bench a bit, and he looked back at her, blinking a few times to what she just said. he almost giggled when she said 'lemon'. his mind always went a bit dirty when someone said lemon, especially the science teacher. oh boy, hopefully he didn't actually giggle, because this year eight might actually think he's even more of a psycho, as she put it.
he blinked slowly, before sighing and going over by elizabeth and the bench, making sure that when he sat down there was a bit of a gap between them. "where did you come from? i mean, where did you live before you came here?"
curiousity.
