Invisible

[faith18]

Hey guys!! Here is the beginning of my new fic. I hope you enjoy this one as well. Tell me what you think about it! I would appreciate as much feedback as possible ;D

Chapter 1

Everyday I walked the same crowded hallways praying for a miracle. The miracle of being acknowledged. High school had started out well; I had many friends and I was in tons of sports and clubs. All of that changed at the end of my sophomore year.

My mom had started having hallucinations; she believed that there were aliens trying to invade her mind. One day after school, I came home and found her in the bathroom with a pen stuck in her ear. It was a mess to say the least.

After being taken to the hospital to remove the pen from her ear, she was admitted into a mental instituition. The best in all of Detroit. She lost hearing in her left ear from the pen being shoved in so deep.

My dad and I visit her from time to time, but she never says much. After that ordeal all of my "friends" at school started drifting away. Rumors ran wild across campus about me and my family. Everyone basically thought I would inherit the crazy gene too. Only one of my friends stood by me, Sarah. She is my best and pretty much my only friend. She's the only person who truly knows me.

"June! Hurry up, we're going to be late again!" I rushed to put my books in my bag.
"Go ahead. I'll catch up." I got to my seat just as the bell began to ring. My teacher, Mrs. Paulson, despised tardiness, especially since I had her right after lunch. I could feel her eyes on me, but I kept busy by taking out my notebook and pencil.

Thank goodness she let it slide this time. I knew next time I wouldn't be as fortunate. She began her monotonous history lecture. I had heard the same facts since elementary school. After class me and Sarah walked to my house to do homework.

"Hey dad" I called as I entered the door.
"Hey Mr. Lima." He was always home during the day. He worked all night as a doctor at the hospital.
"Hey Junebug" he said kissing my forehead. He had been calling me that since before I can remember.
"I'm starving" Sarah said rumaging through my refrigerator.
"Didn't we have lunch an hour ago?"
"You call cafeteria food lunch?" The cafeteria wasn't exactly a five star course meal. I grabbed some pizza rolls from the freezer and popped them in the microwave.
"Let's go up to my room and get started on the history worksheet" I said picking up my bag.
"I'll bring the rolls up for you when they are finished." As soon as we entered my room Sarah went to the stereo. Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child blasted through the speakers.

"Did you get your dress for homecoming yet?" I asked.
"No" she said with a sigh. "I don't like the way any of them look on me." I looked at her with a crooked smile.
"You wear the dress, the dress doesn't wear you." I laughed at myself for using such a cheesy line, but it was true. Sarah was a beautiful girl. She had dirtie blonde hair, which was styled in loose soft waves. She had the most stunning hazel eyes and she had the body of a supermodel.
"I wish you would come too June." I looked away from her.
"You know I don't go to dances and things anymore." She sighed once more.
"I know you don't, but you would look so great all dressed up."
"I don't know" I said. I never thought about it. I just knew I looked almost identical to my mother. I had medium brown hair, which was pretty curly. Green eyes just like hers and olive skin with an average body. I hadn't attended a school function in over a year and I wasn't going to start now.

"It's not for another month anyway. What are you stressing about?" I asked her.
"I have to find one soon before all of the good ones are gone."
"Gosh, I would hate to see you without a date" I added with a chuckle. Sarah was going with her boyfriend, Ryan. He was a nice guy and extremely funny. I think that is what she loves most about him. And the fact that he is good to me. He had moved here after all the drama so he had no biases.
"Pizza delivery!" my dad exclaimed as he came in. He was always acting goofy.
"Thanks" we said together. The rest of the afternoon was filled with homework, laughs, and pizza rolls.

Sorry I know that was kind of long, but I hope you like it. Comment Please!

That first chapter had no Ted in it, but this one does!! For your reading pleasure......


Chapter 2

My entire day was a disaster so far, and things got worse during lunch. I always sit at the same table in the corner of the cafeteria with Sarah and Ryan. Today when I went to sit down some kid was sitting there and as he got up to move he spilled his soda all over my jeans. Then as I was walking to the bathroom I stepped in a piece of gum on the ground. Who spits their gum out in a building?? To top it all of as I was trying to wash the soda off my jeans the bell rang to get to class. I hurried to dry them under the hand dryer and dashed off to class.
“Teddy, June, You are both late. Detention after school today.” Great just what I needed to top off my whole day. I sat down uncomfortably since my pants were still in the process of drying.
“Do you want me to wait for you?” Sarah asked before leaving.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll call you when I get home.”
“See ya” she waved.
I sat there awaiting further punishment from Mrs. Paulson. She never just had you sit in detention. There was always work to be done.
“Okay, June…Teddy, I want you to organize the books in alphabetical order and then clean off the boards. I have to run some papers down to the office. I will be back to check on you later.” I had forgotten I wasn’t the only one in detention. I decided to just keep quiet since he probably thought I was a nutcase anyway. We both walked over to the bookcase to start alphabetizing.
“So what is your story for being late?” he asked to my surprise. I must have looked like a deer in headlights. No one from my class ever spoke to me besides Sarah and Ryan.
“I was in the bathroom cleaning off my pants” I said pointing to the brown stain left behind from the coke. He raised his eyebrows.
“Clumsy?”
“No, not me, some kid spilled it on me at lunch. The entire day I’ve been walking with a rain cloud over my head.” He nodded his head.
“I know how that goes.” I looked at him and smiled.
“What’s yours?”
“I was in the band room with a couple of my buddies fooling around with the drums and guitars.”
“You like music?” Well that was a dumb question, who doesn’t like music. I laughed at my own question.
“I meant to say do you like to play music?”
“Yeah, it’s pretty much my favorite thing to do.”
“Well this didn’t take long at all to do” I said noticing we had already finished with the books.
“Time passes by quickly with good conversation” he replied grinning. We moved over to the board to start cleaning.
“What do you like to do? When you’re not in detention that is.” I laughed.
“This might sound corny, but I like to write poetry and design clothing.”
“That is not corny, that is actually really cool.” I could tell he was being honest.
The door opened and we immediately ended our conversation.
“You two have done a good job in here” Mrs. Paulson said surveying our work. “You can leave now, but don’t be late again tomorrow!” she said firmly.
“I guess I’ll see you in class tomorrow then.” He said with a smile.
“Yeah I’ll see you.” I grabbed my things and quickly headed out the door. I was hoping my dad wouldn’t be worried that I wasn’t home on time.


Hope you like it so far

Chapter 3

When I arrived home, my dad was getting dinner ready for me.
“It smells great in here,” I said walking toward the kitchen.
“It’s spaghetti and garlic bread. You can have Sarah over for dinner if you want.” He always prepared dinner for me even though I was capable of doing it myself. I grabbed the phone and dialed Sarah’s number.
“Hey! What’s up June? How was detention?”
“Mrs. Paulson made us alphabetize the books and clean the board. Not too bad I suppose.”
“Sounds like fun” she said sarcastically.
“Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?”
“Sure, what are we having?”
“Does it really matter?” Sarah would eat practically anything. It was a mystery how she stayed so skinny.
“I guess it doesn’t. I’ll be there in 20 minutes.”
“Bye.” I went up to my room and sat on the edge of my bed staring at my sewing machine. I had an idea.

I was still upstairs when Sarah arrived. I heard my dad direct her up to my room.
“Hello” she said in a kooky voice. I turned to her with a smile on my face.
“What are you so happy about?” She asked.
“I have a surprise for you.”
“A surprise?”
“Yup.”
“Well, what is it?” She was growing more anxious.
“I made a sketch of a dress. I’m going to make your homecoming dress!” She looked over my shoulder at the sketch.
“Oh I LOVE it!” she exclaimed.
“This way you won’t look like any other girl there. You will be completely unique.”
“You are the best, best, best friend ever June!” She wrapped her arms around me in a tight squeeze.

I made sure to be on time to Mrs. Paulson’s class today. I ate my lunch in a matter of minutes. When I walked into class everyone was busy chatting and goofing off. Sarah and I were having a conversation about what color she wanted her dress to be. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around.
“Hey June.” Teddy was standing behind me with a huge grin across his face.
“Hey “ I said, feeling awkward.
“Good thing both of us were on time today.”
“Yeah, good thing.” Just as he was about to speak again, the bell rang. He quickly went back to his seat. The period was filled with the same boring information. It seemed to drag on extra long today. I was very anxious to get out because it was Friday and I needed to get started on Sarah’s dress.

I practically ran out the door when the bell rang. As I rushed out with Sarah, I heard a faint “bye”. I didn’t respond though, nobody ever said bye to me.

“Dude, why are you talking to June Lima?” Matt asked.
“Why not? She’s nice.” Teddy responded. Matt raised his eyebrows.
“You do know she’s crazy, right?”
“She seemed normal when I talked to her.” Matt let out a sigh.
“That’s because she takes her medication.”
“Yeah, I’ve heard all those stories. Just because her mom has problems doesn’t mean she does as well,” he said defensively.
“I don’t know man, I wouldn’t talk to her if I were you” Matt said.
“Then it’s a good thing you aren’t me, because I am going to continue talking to her” he said with finality.
“Whatever man, it’s on you” Matt said as they separated to go to their cars.

At home, Sarah and I were finishing up the details of her dress; while waiting for Ryan to arrive, so we could go to the movies. There was a horror movie marathon at the theatre, since Halloween was just around the corner. They always scared me half to death, but I still couldn’t get enough of them.

Enjoy!!!

Chapter 4

It was the night of Halloween. Sarah and I were putting our costumes on in my room. She was dressed as a sailor and I was a witch. We never wore anything skanky on Halloween like most of the other girls. Ryan was on his way to pick us up; we go to the Halloween festival every year. There are frightening mazes, games, rides, and free candy.

“Ahhh!” Sarah shrieked as I walked out of the bathroom. “You look very scary.”
“Do I really?” I asked with a ghoulish grin.
“No, not really” she laughed. I grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it at her.
“Heey” she said through her laughter. I was now laughing with her. We were both startled by the sound of a car horn.
“That must be Ryan.” We both raced down the stairs and out the door.
“Hey you” Sarah said as she leaned over to kiss him. I had a boyfriend before all the events occurred with my mother. His name was Adam; he was my first real love I guess. He dumped me soon after he found out about what happened and people started making up rumors. He had left me when I needed him the most. I still saw him around school every so often, but we were strangers to each other now.

“It looks more crowded than usual” I said as we turned into the parking lot.
“It looks like the entire school is here” Sarah commented. I like Halloween, it makes me feel like a different person. I feel like all eyes aren’t on me.
“Looks like they added a new ride” Ryan said as he pointed to a giant rollercoaster. It had a number of loops, twists, and turns. It is called the “Doom Dragon.” We decided to ride that one first. As we got closer to the front of the line I got more and more nervous. I was never a big fan of roller coaster, but I liked to try things at least once.
“This is going to be so awesome” Ryan said wide eyed. At last it was our turn to get on. Just my luck, we got the front seats of the car. When the ride had ended I was feeling very sick to my stomach.
“I think I’m going to sit down for a while” I said rubbing my stomach.
“But we just got here” Sarah reminded me.
“I know, I’ll call you when I feel better and meet up with you guys.” She seemed disappointed but agreed to it anyway. I sat near the bungee jumping. I watched the people free fall through the air. Some freaked out and while others were calm. It must have been an intense feeling.
“Those people are crazy” I heard a voice say. I turned to face a pirate. “June?” I couldn’t quite make out who it was. The bright lights from the ferris wheel were blinding. He took a seat and I finally realized it was Teddy.
“Hey” I said. “I didn’t recognize you for a minute there.”
“Your costume looks great” he said smiling.
“Thanks, I made it myself” I said proudly.
“You look like you just rolled off of the seven seas” I said with a chuckle. This made him smile as well.
“What are you doing here all by yourself?” he asked curiously.
“I’m here with Sarah and Ryan. We just rode the “Doom Dragon” and I was feeling a little sick.”
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Yeah, I just needed a rest” I said surely.
“I’ve ridden that twice already. It was a pretty cool ride. I got hungry so I came over here to get some fries” he said pointing to the food stand.
“Do you want to share them with me?” I felt sort of weird sharing food with someone I hardly knew, but I decided it would be rude if I refused.
“Sure” I said taking a fry. We sat there talking for a while and then my phone began to ring.
“June! Where are you?” Sarah asked impatiently. I had been so wrapped up in conversation that I forgot to call them.
“Sorry Sarah. I was talking to Teddy and lost track of time. I’m coming right now.”
“Well, I’ve got to meet them now. Thanks for the fries.”
“No problem, I’ll see you around June.”

It was getting late and all of us were getting tired.
“Let’s head home guys. I think we have had enough fun for a night” I said drowsily.
“Yeah, I think you’re right” Sarah agreed.
As Ryan pulled into my driveway I noticed there was writing on the garage door.
“What the heck?” I asked as I got out and took a closer look. Someone had written “Nut house” and “Psycho” along with many other cruel words all over the door in black spray paint.
“Don’t worry whoever did it is a big jerk” Sarah tried to console me. “I’ll come over tomorrow morning and help you clean it off.”
“Thanks” I said giving her a hug.
“Try not to think about it, just get some rest.”

I was so angry. I knew no one liked me, but they didn’t have to display it all over my house. Without even changing I got into bed and cried myself to sleep.
