Chapter 1
"Is that what you are going to wear?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"Kenny it's the first day of school, you want to make an impression not look like an emo kid."
"Here, wear this." She throws a pink flowy babydoll top at me. I hold it up by the barely there straps and look at it with disgust. Vicky laughs as she sees the expression on my face.
"Is it too much?" She asks knowing that I dont wear pink.
I look down at my black ripped Jean's, black tshirt, and my black combatboots.
"What's wrong with my Pierce the Veil shirt?"
"Um... were not in middle school anymore. This is our last year of high school. Do you really want to spend it like we did last year and all the years before that?"
She was right I was always outcasted because I never fit in. Everyone was always picking on me because of it. Plus maybe change wasn't so bad.
"Alright fine. But I refuse to wear anything that is hotpink, glitter, rhinestones and is shiny."
Vicky claps her hands and smiles at me and says "Kenny you are going to look so hot!"
So after about two hours of sitting and getting my hair and makeup done, Vicky finally finishes. And let's me look in to her vanity mirror.
"Wow." I don't even recognize the girl staring back at me. My hair has these romantic curls that she did with a straightener, my eyes look brighter with the warm tones of the eyeshadows that she used. Making my brown eyes pop giving them a slight gold looking color. My lips have a nude color on them. With a bit of clear gloss over them. And she finished my face by adding a bit of bronzer to the sides of my cheeks.
"Honestly, Kenny I didn't have to do much with your face. You have the complexion of a porcelain doll already and big brown eyes. Although getting your eyelashes to curl was a pain. But what do you think?"
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually like it."
"You do! Oh who am I kidding I knew you would!"
Just then we hear a knock on the door and I see Mrs. Greene poke her head in.
"Come in mom!" Vicky exclaims.
"Oh Kenny, you look just like your mother! She would be so proud to see how smart and beautiful her little girl turned out."
She says with tears in her eyes.
"Oh no, please dont cry Mrs. Greene, I'm sorry."
Vicky hugs her mom. "Mom, are you ok?"
"Oh I'm fine hunny, I'm just getting a bit of dejavu. Anyways, Kenny this is for you. It belonged to your mom. She always wore it she believed that it would keep her safe."
"Thank you Mrs. Greene" I look at the necklace that she handed me and see that it is a crimson colored teardrop with a wolf shaped ivory colored fang connected to it.
"Why did my mother believe that this would protect her? And from what?" I ask Mrs Greene.
"Oh you remember how your mother was. She always thought that the world was dangerous, and she believed that this protected her from the evils of this world, as she would say."
"It's beautiful, thank you."
"Your mother was going to give it to you but then.. well no matter you have it now, anyways girls I have made your favorites for breakfast, so hurry up or else your food will get cold." And with that she walks out and leaves Vicky and I.
"Are you ok Kenny?" Vicky asks while she holds my hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm ready to eat. Let's go downstairs." I pivot to go out the door when Vicky says "uh..uh you still have to change your clothes."
"Ugh." I exclaim.
