As i finished the chapter that I was writing.   I soon got a message from Casey, my  friend who  was jealous.  It was an apology, but I did not take heed of the apology.  So, I  proofread my chapter.

I'm trying to make a happy ground between what I feel and how my father wants me to act.   That was when I was ready to freaking swear.  I did not want to class for the simple fact that January was going to be there.    I did not want to be mean, but I had to do something  about this situation.  I was pacing in the hallway when Mrs. Butters told me to get to my seat and get read to dissect a frog.  

"Christ," I thought to myself.  "Why me!!!!" 

"Cassidy......now,"

"Fine." 

Little did I know that something  was going to happen. This was something  that I thought would be life altering.  As soon as I sat down in the science lab.  We were going to dissect a frog.  I was not thinking about this at first, but I could not stand the smell of the preservation fluid.  It was horrible.    I was trying to pinch my nose from them atrocious smell.  That was when I when I felt my hand be held.  What the hell was going on.   

"Cassi," January said.  "You need to cut like this."

She was guiding my hand.   January looked at me leaned in, "Whoa," I demanded. "What are you doing?"

Her lips nearly made contact with mine.  "Sorry," she said.  "I kind of  got carried away."

I was freaked out as I had my eyes on a boy who was in the other grade 7& 8 class.  Little did I know that Damian was going to the bathroom  and saw this freakshow.

How did I know this.  He was looking into the science lab. 

"Dammit,"   I said, running to the door to explain to him.   He was one to wear all black, and he had half I'd head shaved, and the other was a loud pink.  I thought that he was good-looking and hot.   

"Sorry, you had to see that." I said.  "I am not a lesbian."

"Well, try explaining to fucking eyes." He said.   "Looks like you and autopsy Girl were getting....."

"Getting what," I yelled.

"A little to close for my comfort."

"Dammit."   I said.  "Damian, that it not funny. I am just friends with her."

"Ok...." He started to laugh. 

That was when I wanted to cry.  But it got worse. The other  teens in the biology lab were starting to get wise, too.   I could feel their eyes watch and follow me to my seat. 

For tonight, I will be writing.  Only at stressful times do I start to write.   That being said, I have been finding this a  horrible year.

This was when I lost my friends, and I was getting more and more frustrated.  What I did not expect was that the kindergarten kid would be hearing about the kiss and the frog.

Thus was the worst thing for me.   It was not good that I gifted girl, but she had to be  the creepiest one in the school.  Probably the town.   

Rumor has it that she was conceived in  the autopsy room, and she had to kiss me or attempt to.  "Damnit, why me."

I went to my locker to start getting ready for gym.  

I went to go to the girls' change room, which was when Kari and jeni were starting there bullshit. 

"Oh, look, it's one of the lesbian scientists...."  kari said.

"Yeah, did you kiss the frog, too?"  Jeni said.

"Why don't you should the hell up," I demanded.   "You been riding my ass since day one of this year."

"Well, we think it is funny."

That was the first time in my life I threw punch, and it landed.  Beginner's luck.  I near broke Karissa jaw and got jeni in the nose. Thank good there were other girls who bared witness to this so I would not seem like the crazy one.  The strange thing was that I did not bruise my knuckles.... but It freaking hurt at first.  But the pain subsided.

"We could sew you," jeni mocked.

"I should be sewing you for being a shitty friend. "

Kari was laughing, and soon I snapped at her.   I did not see January here because she was in the gifted kids class.  This was before I found it, and then I was gifted.

It was during basketball one of my favorite sports when I had a ball hit me hard on the head.  Soon, the other teens started to mock me again.

"Autopsy 2.0."  They jeered at me. And they said that I was a nerd too.  I was not going to be a walking  disaster like January.  I refused to be like that. 

After the basketball  debacle, I want to put my gym clothes in the locker. That was when I noticed a note.  I  opened it  up, and I noticed that it was in January's writing.

"Cassi, I know that we are still new at being teenagers, but I can't help but to say this.....I love you with all my DNA.

~Jannie"

"Shit ....." I said under my breath.   "Why me."

I did not want to confront her.  But I had to know if this was a prank.     That was when I decided to go to the gifted class and knocked on the door.

The gifted teacher answered  the door and stared at me like I was a tape worm. 

"Can I talk to January," I said.  "Please!"

"I suppose,"  she said.  "January Smith, someone is here to talk to you."

January came up to the door and smiled.  "What are you doing here."

"I found this in my locker," I handed her the letter. 

She looked at the note, "It is true.... I do love you. And that is my handwriting."  She blow me a kiss, something I tried to ignore.  But mentally, I could not stop thinking  about.

Why me.

"I will see you in the next class."

I couldn't help but think about the idea of skipping for one.  I really considered  it.   I would use this time to start writing on my  phone.

As I started to write, I could not help but think that I was being watched. 

And so I started to type.

'i smelled this awful smell that i could not help but want to throw up at. it was most unpleasant, to  say the least! but I could not get over  this blood curdling scream that came before the smell approached my window! (and my nose) This smell i could not help but want to gag at!  but nit as much as when i saw this creature. it was gaunt and skinny. and it looked like it had deer antlers, but i could not be too sure as i was nearly blind from old age! 

despite being raised Catholic, i did not believe in  demons nor the devil!  that was when i saw this thing, starting at me looking emaciated and smelling to th ehigh heavens.  it could not be a demon, i thought!  it had to be something from the human imagination!  as i looked out the wind again, i saw  the creature looking at me.  that first time , hallucination, second time, it had to be real!  an di was not going to go for a third time.  so i backed away from the window with my cane up as if to defend myself, and i ran as fast as possible woth out falling!  as i locked the door, i could not imagine that something like this was real!

i was an astronomer and a scientist.  for fucks sake i worked as a medical lab techncian for most of my life!  when i saw something it was there for sure.

as i went to  hide i heard this god awful thud thud thud sound! it must have went on for six times before the thing, the wendigo went into the night!  as i crept to see if the thing was still around i heard anmother frightning scream that i coudl not help but run into the winter night to see what the commotion was.  as i lurked and looked i sa wthis thing: a human withnantlers crawled up the side od soneones house and break a window!  that was when i heard the worst scream in my life it seemed as if sondone was being murdered! 

i ran into the house ot call 9-1-1! 

"911 whatnis your emergency?!" the 911 operator answered!

"i think there is someone being murdereddp in my neighbourhood!" i said screaming my self!

"can you please calm down!"

"there is a demon attacking someone and you tell me to calm down!". i said.  how dare she!  that was when i decide call again but with more frustration this time!

it looked lime no one was going to believe me!  but knew this demon from else where! it was the wendigo.  a foul smelling. mythical creature that stalks people for food! it eats people!  but why was it hear and not in the forest.  and why was it climbing a house when there was an ice storm! soon i had to believe sooner or later in demons!

that was wheni ran inside to get my bible.  that was also when i decided to actually read it for the first time.  as i never was confronted with this before.  like i said i was a scientist not a religious person!

but this thing i saw three times and ot wasstill there terrorizing my neighbour hood!  as i watched from my bedroom as a read rhe bible for the first time in my life.   this was proof that not only god existed but we were doing his will!  i dont know bery much about this concept!  as i shook to go  not because if the cold bit because of the rapture coming..., i laid down and fell asleep!  but i would wake up the next morning with the same awful smell as that wendigo and my window smashed beside me!

what was really gooing on ?'

As I keep writing I felt like something/someone was watching me.  I could shake the feelings I had about Jannie and the fact that something was watching me.  For one the school was haunted because of the one child who died if cancer.  He apparently did not know and passed out and never came to again.  Was that him I wondered. 

The other feeling about Jannie was not as east to explain.  I thought I would be happy with Damian but he was acting like a pain for the most part since the attempted kiss.

I could not help but not stop thinking about her. It was as if she was taking up real estate  in my head but it was as i welcomed it.   That was when I decided to go into the art class.  

As I walked in I saw that the art teacher Mrs. Jaynes smiled and said that it was nice to see me.  But she wad not the only one.  Jannie was there smiling at me.

But I acted like the tough chick In the room.   As I went to  my table with my art friends, the only people who were going to keep me sane.

"So why did you skip,"  Janice said.

"I am on conflict with my self."

"Why..."

"Well I think I might be gay....and worse it I'd January Smith."  That when I relieved hugs.  But they were more like funeral hugs.  Damnit.

As I started  to sketch a design out.

*ding*

*ding*

*Dong*

The lunch bell rang.  It was time to head To the lunch room and then to the biology lab for forensic science club.  I could not help but think that it was rather only place I belonged to.

Like usual I just stayed silent and texted some of my now remaining friends.  That was when January gave me her number.

"Why....." I asked.

"So we can talk."

"I don't want to talk  today."

"Why!"

"I just said so." I said respectfully and she held my hand. 

"I had a bad day to....."

"Just...."

She went to get Play the DVD about this show called Quincy.  It was you guessed it was about medical examiner.  Again the thing going through my brain was .....why me.

This was going to be a long episode  that was going to watched.  It was not because of the show it was the people whom I was watching it with.

Then......

*ding*

*ding*

*dong*

I thought that  this was the worst of  it but soon there was a crowd.   As I walked out Damian and friends started to compare me to  the national geographic magazine.    "This is so like national geographic where....."

"Shut the hell up," I said.  "I know it was you who told everyone even the kindergarten kids.  How sick......"

I could not believe that I wasnin love with this guy at first.   It was exactly lime natural geographic.....I was the annoyed loin who was too hungry and angry. 

I nearly attacked him.  But I could not the principal was there watching me.

"Hope you get a hold of that temper...." He said. 

"What's it to you."

Boy I wished that I was suspend  for what I was going to do......I was going to end this pandemic of information and tell everyone to shut the f-ck up. Plan two....start taking karate. 

Then I  went to think about the message again.

*jimmy, I am sorry  for being  jealous*

I must say that she admitted the act of being jealous  about Lilly.   I thought some more, and I went and typed in,"it's OK."

I really did not want to deal with thud this at all.  So I put my phone away and started to take a walk.   I walked around the block to see what was going on.   But because of the threat and the shark attack, I did not see very much going on to be honest with you.

I went to the local tattoo parlor to get my eyebrow pierced.  I was also going to have a tattoo designed for next month.  

"Hello," I said.  "I am here to get am eyebrow piercing."

That being said, i never had the eyebrow done, and I wanted to get it done since grade 9.  And that was a long time.

"Sure, the piercer is almost ready," the receptionist said.   "This  is the third this month! How do you do it."

"I have a high high pain tolerance."

"Yes, that is true, I remember you.... how are you, zombie?"

"I am good."  I got that nickname because of my pain tolerance.   I can bounce back from anything.    So most people call me the zombie.  Or zombie apocalypse.   Depending on the person. "Also want a tattoo designed for next month by Natalie.  So I took my seat and a fun sticker like kind from Amazon. 

I soon sat down, and soon, Lilly texted me.  And so did Casey.  Lilly, I was always in the mood for any time, but Casey, I was about to tell her off via text.

*hey bae.*

Hey, I'm just waiting to get an eye brow pierced.

*Yes, can we talk after*

Sure, what for.

*I want to say that we can meet up after that is all.*

OK

"Jimmy! I am ready!"

I look up and see that the pierced was ready.  "Righ or left?"

"Right."

"A fine choice." The piercer said.   "It will hurt."

This piercer was new and did not know me.  That being said, Natalie called out, "That's Jimmy she is the local 'zombie.'"

"Oh, you're the LA zombie," he said.  "I heard about you."

"My name is Jimmy," I said, introducing myself. 

"Iman," the piercer introduced himself.    That being said, I am a bit of a legend here.  I almost think I should have Mt photo in the wall.   But I am not a celebrity.

That being said, it took only fifteen minutes to get the damn eyebrow pierced.

After that, I gave in my tattoos request for next month. Which was a zombie with a highly detailed flower.    Or at least that was the idea.  I will only find out at the end of the month.   So I had to leave this to my imagination.

I was given the aftercare products, and I was then sent on my way.  I must say that it looked good from  the mirror.   I was just going to go back and do the aftercare and go see Lilly about something.
