Corrections: too bunk is *top*, after introducing Ashley and Ashlynn, there should be a * " * at the end of Ashlynn. Just can't stand that, I update too fast.
Mrs. Greene came in and woke us up at 7:30, I was refusing to wake up, I threw the blanket over my head, "Breezy, you have to wake up, come on." I turned over facing away from her, "go away" I muttered groggily. I eventually sighed knowing I wasn't going to win this, I climbed down from the bed, walking over to my bag, I got a white cap sleeve shirt with rainbow colored letters that spelled 'PEACE' and destroyed super skinny jeans, I tied my hair into a messy bun and walked down to the living room dining table to join the other kids ready to work. Kris, Ashley and Ashlynn asked me to sit with them, I wasn't in no mood to be near Kris and her rainbow and bunny attitude. It was too early in the morning for anyone to be so elated, me on the other hand was far from happy; querulous was more like it. I decided to sit beside Ashlynn and myself, the boys came down shortly after then Jessica, of course taking her seat beside Aaron, I didn't see why she liked him so much, he wasn't that attractive the least bit, but who was I to judge. Mrs. Greene came in and handed us poster boards, "today, we're making a collage about your life, add things to the poster you like, stuff that makes you; you. Each picture should have a meaning behind it, like if you clipped out a picture of the ocean for example you could say you love the beach, you grew up there or someone has a boat that you go on during summer. After we're finished you're expected to present it, the class may ask you questions about your poster as well." She sat down a pile of glue sticks, magazines and scissors and we took off grabbing everything.
I flipped through a 'Seventeen' magazine and clipped out pictures I thought fit best for me, a few rappers, coffee and a few other things, I set my poster to the side and laid my head down. "Breezy, since you finished first you can present first once everyone is finished. You may go outside if you would like." I scooted out and walked outside, I shivered as my bare feet hit the pavement, I walked over to the bench and sat down. After a few minutes passed I heard the screen door open, looking up I noticed it was Aaron, I didn't like company but I didn't mind it either, he walked over and sat beside me, "hey there. I'm Aaron, sorry for not saying anything earlier, it's just I was afraid you'd turn on me if I messed up." I stared at the ground thinking of how to put the words right, "call me Breezy." Was all I could mutter out, he smiled, "I heard about you standing up to Jessica, nice to see someone who doesn't take crap around here." He laughed jokingly but I sat with my face plastered emotionless. "I dealt with it a lot where I'm from so I guess I just know how to handle it." The smile on his face became more serious, "what do you mean by 'where you're from'?" Asking me calmly, I sat quiet for a while before I spoke, "my family, at least that's what they are I guess." Shrugging my shoulders, "my mom became addicted to cocaine and alcohol since before i was born, dad is an alcoholic and my sister just does everything she can from weed to sex and she's 13. I'm the one here because my attitude was so called 'breaking up the family' but all I did was try and stop the fights." His face grew more sincere, "so that's why you stood your ground to Jessica and Ethan? Because they were reminding you of your family?" I shook my head and took off to the shed, I closed the door and started crying. I missed my mom, I wanted the real her back, the one that didn't scream, yell, argue, blame me, accuse me, lash out at me, hit me or talk at me, I wanted a real mom, to watch me play sports, to be proud of me and showed it, trusted me and said she loved me. I sat in the shed ignoring the vigorous knocks on the wooden door for a good five minutes. I cleaned myself up, unlocked the door and walked out, Aaron was standing there, arms open, at first I didn't know what he wanted but I realized he wanted a hug from signaling with his hands, I stood and just fell in his arms. Mrs. Greene called Aaron and I in to present our posters. Great, I was going first, I walked in and grabbed my poster, "ok, quiet and let Breezy present." I stood up beside my chair, presenting only five of the many pictures I glued on it, I finished and asked if they had any questions, of course Jessica would raise her hand, "what are those cuts on your arms? Are you emo? Why not go back where you came from and go cut some more." She asked snobbishly, I threw my poster down and started running outside, I stopped at the kitchen door hearing Aaron scream, " Jessica for once would you think of others instead of you? This is why I hate you, you're an insensitive, egotistical, pretentious little bitch." I shook my head and ran out anyways, back to the shed. I fumbled with lock trying to lock the door but I couldn't see, the door flung open mad with force, I sat in a ball with my arms around my legs and looked up seeing Aaron at the door outside looking worried at me.
Description update: Breezy: chocolate brown mid back length hair, red underneath at the neck and pink underneath but closer to the front (where your ears are). Green eyes with a hint of blue. Tank skin with some scars throughout her arms and face. She's 5'4 and 102 pounds. Aaron: tan skin (sort of like honey), dark green eyes, short black hair. He's about 6 feet, muscular, uhm I'll put him at 150 pounds. Jessica: long blond hair, ice blue eyes, she's pale but has a slight tan. Stands at 5'6 and 112 pounds. Ethan: shaggy brown hair, light green eyes and white skin, pretty average looking, working on a 6-pack. Is 6'1 and 120 pounds. Hope this will give you a better vision of some the characters.
He slowly walked towards me, his eyes became compassionate but yet fierce with anger, "Breezy, I'm so sorry you had to hear that. That was totally insensitive for Jessica to say." I buried my face in my hands, "I don't cut, Aaron. They're just scars." I sobbed with my head still buried, mrs. Greene came out to check on me, "Breezy, I took care of Jessica, she's in trouble and is in the guest house by herself. Are you okay, dear?" I sniffed and wiped my eyes, "I'm fine." And walked out of the shed, Aaron pulled me into a hug but I didn't do it back. "Are you okay with telling me about your scars? Well, just the one across your cheek." Still hugging me I felt Aaron smile. I sighed, "I was at the middle of watching my parents fight and he threw a beer bottle and a shard caught me." I felt the smile fade away from his face, "I'm sorry to hear that, you didn't deserve to watch that." He didn't understand, I had been in this since I was born, probably even before I was thought about, I didn't feel like being personal or opening up to anyone, I shook free from him and walked in the house.
I took my seat back inside and put my head down as the others presented their posters. I wasn't interested in hearing about things people liked and besides I had a headache from the crying, I wanted dismiss myself from the table but felt it would be wrong in a way but Aaron was the only one to stand up for me, leaving me to ask; where was Kris? She was there when I didn't need her when I told off to Ethan, she could've been there when I kind of needed someone. After Aaron finished his project I talked to mrs. Greene and she understood. She dismissed me and I went upstairs to my top bunk and laid down, I felt like crying again, not because of Jessica's insensitive words but the fact that I came from such a broken family. I knew when it was time for me to go home that things would still be the same, nothing would've changed since I left, it be much worse because of the monsters I had for parents. I closed my eyes and finally went to sleep, I woke up around 8:30. I noticed Kris was in her bunk reading when I came down, I didn't speak to her, I walked downstairs and sat on a chair. Ethan was on the couch looking at me ever so often but I never said anything, "you feeling okay? That was pretty harsh for her to say to you." He mumbled, I stared at the TV, blank in emotion, "I'm fine." He looked at me for a minute before turning back around. Aaron came down from the boys side and smiled at me, not a big smile but one that easily said 'it'll be okay' he walked into the kitchen and began walking up to the boys side when he stopped and motioned me to come with him. I followed him up the stairs to the boys room, "glad to see you're up. We're taking a field trip in the morning, we're donating cans to a homeless shelter, go to the mall and buy a Christmas present for someone and then eat. What would you like, Breezy?" He asked setting out his clothes, "I don't want anything, Aaron, but the one thing I want, can't happen, won't happen and I have to deal with it." I brushed a strand of hair behind my ear that fell out of my bun, "can I guess?" Sitting on the bed with me, I nodded yes, "you want just one person to tell you that they're proud of you, that they love you. You can't get it from your mom or dad because they never told you, at first it never got to you but soon after you started seeing what others had that you didn't and you break down, but if one person told you, you wouldn't be the monster that the monsters you call mom and dad made you into. Am I right?" I was speechless, I didn't know what to say and even if I did I couldn't say it right or at all, I pulled him into a hug "yes" I whispered to him. I wasn't sure wether to be happy because he got through to me or to just whack his face in because of what he said so I just bit my tongue and let my emotions decide. Ethan and the other boys walked in, "why's she in here?" Ethan interjected, "cause I find her company interesting, Ethan. God, why is everyone hating on her? What's she done to you guys? And don't say it's because of what she said, you deserved it. If you knew one thing about this girl you wouldn't be a Jessica." Aaron growled, his eyes fierce with anger as they glared at Ethan, "but she's so skinny and short." Ethan muttered and Aaron was now in rage, " Ethan, don't point that out, do you know why? No, so shut up." I sat there awkwardly as I watched the two bicker. "If you would give Breezy a chance you would see that she just needs someone to be nice to her. The only reason she's lashing out at you guys is because you're reminding her of her family and if you knew about that you wouldn't be opening your mouth and talk about her, Breezy takes a while to break through to but I know her on a better level than all of you. Seriously what's wrong with you guys that you need to feel superior by making fun of her to feel better about yourselves?" He sighed angrily, "come on, Breezy" he continued extending his golden honey muscular arm at me, I looked up at him, he was looking down smiling at me, I grabbed his hand he helped me down from the bottom bunk bed. We walked down stairs and outside, we sat on the bench and he just looked at me. "Why do you stand up for me? I can do it myself" he shrugged his shoulders, "you always defend yourself, why not let someone do it for you, so you don't feel like everyone's against you?" I shrugged with him, "you can if you want, I guess. I won't stop you." I saw him smile out of the corner of my eye. I didn't want everyone to like me, I needed that hate, the strong dislike that I fed off of, well at least I would have Jessica and Ethan to feed off of. "Hey, why don't you show me what you're wearing for the trip?" I got up and went to show him, I was planning on a grey oversized 'boyfriend crew' shirt with a leopard print heart on the back, black yoga pants and black boots. I showed him my outfit and said I would be pretty cute, I told him thank you but didn't take the compliment too serious, I never took anything that anyone said too serious, I took everything a joke, the only person I took even 50% serious was Zack, only when he said that he loved me, but that number has quickly plummeted to 30. Mrs. Greene called lights out and Aaron went back to his side, I flicked off the light and closed the door once he told me goodnight and I had said back. I crawled into bed and laid looking at the ceiling, I felt bored, I looked over at Ashley and Ashlynn already sleeping and Kris was snoring soundly away, I climbed down from my bed, cracking the door to peek through, Greene had already gone to bed so I walked down to the kitchen. I got into the chicken Alfredo when I heard someone else sneaking about, I sat silent and not moving, with my mouth full of noodles, "Breezy?" I half choked from being startled by Aaron, "what are you doing?" He continued, "eating" I mumbled, "is this the first time you ate?" Asking me almost surprised, " I don't eat that much, I never have." Whispering to him silently, "so you have to make yourself eat?" I nodded my head as I took another bite, I cleared my throat after I finished it, "yea, if I didn't then I think I would never get hungry, so I have to make myself eat." He shook his head, "is because of how your mom was when she was pregnant with you? That your growth stunted and you're so tiny?" I nodded my head, "that's what I figure, I was a premie first born, I was pretty healthy but had some breathing problems and got sick easily. Now I'm short, skinny and moody" I sighed, finishing the bowl of Alfredo and placed it in the sink. "I'll sit with you on the bus in the morning, Breezy. Goodnight again." I inhaled as I heard him thumping up the stairs, I grumpily frowned as I walked back to my bed, I was more thrilled about the sleep than this trip.
