Chapter 2

Freak the freak out

Frankie 

Next morning I woke up to the sunrise ,I looked at my phone it was 5.30 am. I sighed, sat up and stretched my limbs. "I have to hide here a pillow or something." My clothes were wet from the dew, I tried to go in the house but they closed the door with key. " Why am I not even surprised? " I walked around the house and  tightened the lock on my window. I had no problems with the building itself I actually liked it. It was hidden in the forest but not too far away from the bus station. The house was a single floor country styled building with red roof, and bug windows. I had a little room  at the back of the house. It had got deep blue Victorian wallpaper which has already been torn in a few places, and untreated white painted wooden floor. In front of the big window I have got a  mattress  without pillow and just an old purple blanket on it. I have never had a bed in my life but since I usually end up sleeping outside it didn't matter at all. I  had a broken wardrobe for the few clothes I owned and a shattered mirror on the wall. I silently stalked to the bathroom and took a quick hot shower. Carl told me that I have allergies to the water so if I have a shower it has to be very fast or my skin will hurt. As a child I believed him nowadays I know that some scale like things grows on my skin when I'm having a shower and they disappear as soon as I get dry.I ran back to my room and closed the door because I heard someone walking on the hallway. Changed into a black hoodie and grey skinny jeans. I looked at myself in the shattered mirror with the hoodie pulled up until my chest. I had brushes and scars everywhere but apart from them I had a nice slightly tanned skin, long light brown hair and a nice thin figure with firm long legs. Whenever I could I tried to run and do some gymnastics which I learned in school to be in form just in case I'll have a chance to escape. But whenever I tried they localized me somehow probably they smelled my scent and beat me half dead, so for now I stopped with runaways. My face had a shape of heart and my jawline was pretty strong, it was still a little red on one side where Carl slapped it yesterday. I had  a little snub nose and big hazel eyes. After the quick check on the mirror I went to the kitchen and prepared some breakfast for those animals they call themselves parents. I grabbed an apple and a sandwich but when I put them in my bag my wrists were grabbed by Beth and she pulled me to the direction of the basement. I tried to get out of her hold, I'm not weak but my strength compared with her werewolf power is nothing. I tried to convince her.

- I'll arrive late to school if you don't let me go now! -She smirked and threw me down the basement stairs after many years of flying down these stairs I learnt to roll down with as few injuries as possible. When I was ate the end Carl was waiting for me with his belt on his hand. 

- I did nothing wrong today! Why are you hitting me again?!- I screamed , I was afraid even if I got used to being tortured and beat constantly it still hurt. He was smiling at me with a vicious smile that showed his yellow teeth and I realized he is doing it for boredom. He lifted his hand and hit my back with his belt over and over again until I  was lying on the floor and coughed blood. I like the iron taste of blood it reminds me that I'm alive. I pulled myself together and went upstairs. I grabbed my backpack knowing that it has no food on it and ran to the bus station. The bus went away right in front of my nose so I started to run after it. My classmates were pointing and laughing at me from the window. I saw Clyde but he was too busy flirting with a cheerleader to notice his girlfriend running after the bus. After a half mile one girl went to the bus driver and asked him to stop the bus. Finally it stopped and I got on. The driver frowned at me.

- Next time don't be late I'll not stop for you again.- I nodded and started to look for and empty seat. There was only one next to the girl who asked the driver to stop. So I walked next to her and asked.

- Can I sit here?- She looked up from her book, smiled and pat the seat next to her. She had got red hair and brown eyes with a few freckles on her face. Her skin was lightly tanned just like mine and she was incredibly beautiful. Tall, thin, and kind. She took off her glasses and grinned at me.

- My name is Fanny-she extended her hand for a handshake , it shook her hand and said.

- I'm Frankie, I haven't seen you in this bus before are you a new student? -She put away her book before she replied.

- No, I'm in an other school just took the bus today because I was sleeping at a friends house who lives nearby. - She was so open and kind. Her voice calmed me a little and her smiled was contagious. 

- Oh what a shame, I thought I'll have at least one normal classmate. - Her expression changed and showed a little sorrow. 

- I'm sorry that you are having a hard time, but our em.... -she stopped for a minute like she was looking for a word.- well my boyfriend's best friend's mother always says that "After every storm comes a rainbow". So don't give up on hope yet, this is just a temporary state. - I had to grin at her she was so nice.

- That is actually a good advice. Thanks. - She smiled at me and hugged me. I shivered a little and tired to remember when was the last time someone hugged me so I hugged her back shyly. She looked at me afterwards a little confused.

- What's wrong? - I asked. 

- Nothing. - She answered but I could clearly tell that her mind was somewhere else. I tried to break the silence between us.

- And how old are you? -Her face lightened up and turned to me again with a big smile. 

- I'm nineteen. And you? 

- I'm fifteen. Where are you studying? - She showed her backpack it was that very exclusive and expensive private school in the end of the town. 

- Wow! I wanted to go there as well but, they only accept a few students as I heard. - She nodded.

- Yes its very , well unique. - The bus stopped and we got out of it. Clyde walked to me and out one os his hand on my shoulder checking on Fanny.

- Hey Frank! Who is your new friend? - He asked and put on his most handsome smile. He is 5.10ft tall , very muscular , with a little stubble on his face and with short brown hair. Fanny grimaced when she noticed that he is staring at her but her eyes turned darker when she noticed Clyde's hand on me. I didn't answer he laughed and asked again but this time from Fanny.

- So beautiful do you have a name or did the kitten took your tongue away. - Fanny kept silent staring at Clyde's arm on me. What hit her? 

- Hey! I'm talking to you are you mute?- Clyde let his hand off me and caught Fanny's hand. She immediately grabbed with her other hand his forearm and swung Clyde over her head. Clyde hit the ground with a loud  thump. Everybody were grabbing the action with their phones. Fanny ran her hand through her hair and stepped across the unconscious Clyde. I kneed down next to him trying to wake him up and looked at Fanny. She leaned next to me and said to my eyes.

- You are way better than this. Here take it - she gave me a name card- If you ever need a friend just don't hesitate to call me. - She stood up and walked away. I still saw her getting in the embrace of a tall brown wavy haired guy who stared at Clyde with a look that he was going to kill him if Fanny does not stop him. They walked away and a few cheerleaders pushed me aside to help for Clyde. I walked to my first class still thinking on the previous events.
