Silence

The First Sound

The night is cool and the lights through out the city are illuminating the streets. It's quite beautiful from a distance , but up close you can see the disease and filth that plague this crystal mounted to a rock of garbage.
"Every day it seems so pretty , yet some how, it gets uglier with everyday." Richy says dangling his feet from the roof top kicking back and forth.
"What do you mean Bubba?" His little sister ;Danny says holding onto his arm resting her messy hair on his shoulder looking out across the city with lights on her eyes.
"I mean it's like a white washed tomb sis, it's pretty on the outside but it's full of filth and terrible people."
"Am I terrible?" Danny says looking at Richy.
Richy falling out of hist thoughts turns to look at his little sister.
"  No sis, your not. Heh your one of the very rare ones who is good in this City." He says returning his gaze upon the city.
"Your not a terrible person either bubba , so that means it's not filled with terrible people then , huh?" She says grinning like crazy. Her smile cut right through all the negativity he felt and forced a big grin upon his face. He leans over and kissed his little sisters head and held her tight. All he needed was her to keep him from drifting  into that dark place.

The morning came and it was time to get ready for school and as usual Danny was fast asleep. Richy stays in his bed for second , just to stare at the ceiling of the extremely small apartment they live in. He just hates this city so much yet there is no other option he has to stay here. Due to their current situation with their parents.

He rises and walks over to his little sisters bed wich is across from his. She is wearing half her pjs. Her bottoms are in a pile at the foot of her bed and her shirt if half way off some how. She's got a puddle of drool under her face and her hair is in the form of an octopus that is trying to strangle a small sleeping child's head.
"Danny! Get up we have school." The little demon lays in bed and refuses to move and inch.
"Danny!" No movement still.
"Danny look there's a unicorn!" He shouts pointing out the window.
"Unicorns don't exist ya tard just like the Queen of England." She says grumpily rolling over on her side.
"Danny I'm going to eat your hidden stash of candy if you dont get the hell up!"
"Don't touch my candy ya ass munch!" She says rering up and making a mean face.
"Brush your teeth , get dressed and get ready for the bus ya monster." Richy says picking what he belives to be candy wrappers out of her hair.

Richy is finishing up getting dressed when he hears a siren going on in the distance. He looks out the window and sees nothing but the buildings and cars he sees everyday. Probably another peice if garbage in this city trying to make a living he thought to himswlf. He clicks his tounge and grabs his backpack.

His sister is waiting by the door for him in he school uniform and her shirt is completely untucked and her skirt for some strange reason looks like it's on sideways.
"Your gonna get into more trouble if you don't clean yourself up Danny." Richy says tucking  her shirt in.
"Why should I do it when I have a loyal servant who will do it for me ?" She says lifting her head up trying to act proper and posh.
Richy smacks the back of her neck with the palm of his hand to ensure the damage he is going for.
"What the fuck is your problem shit head ?!" She cusses grabbing her neck and pushing him away.
"I'm not your servant I'm your brother and if you ever act like one of those pompous asses we have to deal with at school I'll hit you so hard your gonna think your a middle aged man with 2 illagetament kids." Richy says gritting his teeth and continuing to fix his little sisters skirt.
"So you mean Uncle Rob then huh..." she says driely.
Richy didn't mean it to come off that way but pretty much.
Uncle Rob is the person who owns the apartment they live in due to the fact their real parents were druggies who lost custody when they were really young.
"Lets go ahead and get outside ok sis."

Once they got to school Danny went to her junior high side and Richy went to the highschool side. Richy  went to his locker to grab his books but found difficulty with all the kids in the hallway running around and being so dam loud. "I wish they would just shut the fuck up already."
"Aww come on man it isn't that bad , were all just kids anyway." Said a voice behind him. Richy takes a deep sigh and turns  around  violently throwing  a punch , it misses.
"Dam your slow emo." Says the voice.
Richy readies for a counter attack.
" Yeah I must be considering I missed that fat ass head of your Branden." Richy says bringing his arm back in and returning to his locker.
" I do not have a fat head you emo fag!" Branden shouts getting worked up.
Branden is Richies best friend,  well his only friend. They have a game they play. Who ever gets hit first that day has to do a dare.
"I'm gonna get you later today though you shit bag." Branden says making a smug face while trying really hard to pop his knuckles. They don't pop and it leaves him looking like a idiot.
" Sure fatty , I'll see you in class." Richy says closing his locker and turning the opposite direction.
"I'm not fat you shit!" Branden said rasing his fist in the air trying to look intimadating but it only came off as pathetic.
