Unique

Chapter 1

Zara's POV

Today was going to be my first day of highschool. This was BIG for me because I had been homeschooled with my mother for my whole life. My mother, I mean when she was alive she would always call me "Unique". I never really understood what she meant by "unique". Im not as ordinary as you think. I was born with a disease that made my face different from others.

I was Unique

Beep beep, beep beep the alarm goes. I jump out of my bed nervous and excited at the same time. I got ready, fixed my hair, put my outfit on. I looked at my mask. Should I wear it? Should i? I didnt think I needed to wear it. I thought maybe people would be nice to me. I put my shoes on and walked out my house.

~15 min later~

Take deep breaths in. You can do it Zara. I walk through the hall full of lockers. As I walk people stare at me and back away. Look for locker 212. I find a red headed girl and I ask her "Hi do you know where locker 212 is?" She gives me a stare and walks away.

sigh

It took me about 20 minutes just to find my locker.

Red headed girls POV

There was NO way I was going to be seen with this freak! She just walked up to me and asked if I can help her find her locker. If I was seen with this creature I would have gotten made fun of so much! I swear if she comes up to me again her life will end!

Zara's POV

What's her problem? Oh nevermind... Its because of me. I have one older brother. His name is Leon. He's a Junior right now and we are in the same school. Maybe he could help me. I see him around some friends and I call out "Leon!". He turns around and realizes I called him. He turns back quickly and acts like he doesn't know me. I get it, He's embarrassed of me.

Time for class.

5 min later

He calls out all the students names as I sit alone at a table with no one by my side. Everyone is trying to back away from me as if I have a contagious disease. Oh wait, I do have a disease..

"Zara brooks?" I reply "Present.." Everyone whispers right after I got called. I just wish I had someone I know.

A girl slides into a chair right at my table. She is so beautiful, she has green eyes and long brown hair. She says "Hello, I'm Sarah! What's your name?" I mumble "Z-Zara..". She says "Hey Zara, Want to be friends?". My whole body fills with happiness and I proudly say "Yes!"

Never in my life would I ever think someone would ACTUALLY want to be my friend!

Sarah says "So, Where are you from?" I reply " Brooklyn, New York". "Oh no wonder! I could tell you had a little accent coming from the east coast!" She says. Everyone always says I have an accent like somebody from new jersey or new york. I cant tell if I have an accent or not because obviously Im used to my own voice. I reply to Sarah "Yeah, Everyone tells me that I have an accent haha"

"Where are you from, Sarah?". "Oh, I was born in Atlanta but I'm not really from there, Im Biracial! In other words, Im mixed". Of course shes mixed! All that beautiful,long,brown,shiny,luxurious curls came from one beautiful mama! GREEN EYES?! "Oh, thats where that curly hair comes from!". "Haha, Yeah...Your a pretty nice person, We should hang out more, Want my number" She says. She wants MY number?! Way to go Zara, made your first friend! She hands me her number, I grab all of my books and head out of class.

I head back to my locker, there was a surprise waiting in there for me.. I open my locker and there is a weird mask in there. I don't know who or what put it in, all i knew was that wasnt mine! I turned around and all I see is every bodies eyes GLUED to me and a few giggles. A tall blond girl approaches me. Of course this little bitch is up to all of this! Just like in the movies, That little pretty blond girl is always that one person you want to kill. She says "Hun, You might want to wear that mask, Your making me barf!" My whole body froze at that moment. A voice yells through the crowd full of young and dumb teenagers, they say "Hey, Jessica get the fuck away from Zara!". I look and I see Sarah making her way through the crowd up to Jessica. She makes it and says "Im giving you 5 seconds to back away or some real shit will happen" Jessica does a witch laugh and says "Oh really? Your standing up for this little pathetic creature?!". That word hit me hard. Creature. Im a creature. I will never be anything more than that, Im just a little pathetic creature. "You don't even know her! Don't ever call her a creature again or you'll regret it!" Sarah yells. The bell rings,Everybody heads to their next class. Im stuck there, in shock. I don't know what to do. Im frozen.
