..?.................................................................................?...................................

It had been a whole month since that fateful night and i still couldn't wrap my head around it. My birthday is in 15 days and Rhydian has been watching me like I'm about to explode and it gets really annoying. He even goes into my room looking for something, I don't know what though. I haven't been able to catch him in my room but all my stuff is in different places then where i leave them and I just feel like his presence. He is not the only one acting different Rachel is also suspicous of me.

It's not the only thing that is strange, in class I see better, I haven't been needing my glasses and I have a larger appetite, usually I can eat a cracker and be fine for the whole day but now I'm eating seconds of the cafeterias horrible lunch and my own lunch and still eat dinner at home.

As I'm walking to Afrikaans I bump into Eliza and Cherry "Watch where you going stupid" Eliza then grabs my glasses, normally I'm wearing contacts but I lost them last week and had to wear my glasses which did not look nice on me. As she grabbed them I should have gone blind but I didn't. "Give them back Eliza" "Why should she?" sneered Cherry.
I sighed today was not a good day, I forgot my Maths books at home so I got a black dot now I'm two away from getting a detention, 5 dots is what you had to get, I also forgot my lunch and I had a headache. "Eliza I'm warning you, I'm really pissed at the moment so don't push it !" I growled. "Huh come and get them little orphan, let's see if you reach that high or if you fail like you always do, and this time you can't yelp for help and then run away like a scaredy cat". That was it she had hit several soft spots of mine, I lunged at her ,grabbed my glasses and then landed perfectly like a gymnast, she lay there flabbergasted and I was so pleased that I taught her a lesson, I didn't even process what I just did. Her boyfriend Michael picked up Eliza and they both gave me a stare that normally would have melted me but it didn't today. But I knew that I was going to be killed by them in PE today.

In PE

We were going to do some athletics practice today and I was looking forward to it I liked athletics especially the sprints. We had to stretch first then we would be timed and tested at our athletics ability then play dodge ball if there was time which I hoped that there wasn't. I hopped from one foot to the next, I was really excited to get started, as usual the boys were tested first outside while the girls stretched inside but the boys did stretch just while the girls changed. I stretched and I even managed to pull off some of the crazier ones and when we outside it was Rhydian's turn and he was just finishing, I cheered for him and he flashed me a flirtatious smile while I was busy rolling my eyes at his cheek.

We had been sorted in alphabetical order but after some complaints it was now backwards alphabetical, so I was last and I was annoyed but I lived with it. Eliza failed she didn't run properly and she was to busy flirting with Michael to do the exercises correctly. Cherry on the other hand did much better and had the best time, 2 minutes and 45 seconds and jumped the furthest, 1.5 metres.

Finally it was my turn when my name was called, Rhydian looked up expectingly. As i was walking to the starting line I heard Cherry and Eliza gossiping horrible things like how I have anger issues, that didn't phase me but when Cherry started dissing the Quimptons( my loving foster family) that made my blood boil, I was going to show them what happens when they make me mad.
When the whistle blew I was off like a falcon, I leaped over the hurdles, raced through the cones like I was being chased by a Croc, sprinted as fast as a cheetah and I did the 100 skips like my life depended on it, I sped to the high jump and flew over and finally bounded through the long jump, managing to land the 3 metre mark and I crossed the finish line and as I skidded to a stop I realised that I hadn't even broke a sweat, the students were gobsmacked and the teacher hesitantly read out my time as if she didn't believe it, 1 minute and 3 seconds, that was my time it was a new school record. Cherry turned the colour she was named after and Eliza turned pale with disbelief and fear. There was unfortunately enough time to play dodge ball and I was normally everyone's immediate target but today I stood my ground and won. Damn maybe today will be a good day after all.

I was walking to the library when I was suddenly stopped by Eliza, Cherry and Michael and his gang, great I thought just as my day was getting better, " Hello guys, if you don't mind I would like to get passed" They stood there in a line, an unbreakable wall.
I braced myself for what I knew what was coming. "How the hell did you that in PE!" yelled Cherry. Okay that was not what I was expecting. I smirked as I thought about all the other things she could've questioned she asked that one. This angered Eliza and suddenly she stepped forward and screeched like a banshee " Who the Fuck do you think you are, smiling like a idiot, we asked you a question orphan now answer it!"
I had my actions planned out I was going to run the other way as fast as I could like I did when I was seen by the cops but sadly that girl and the girl everyone knew at school were two different people I was a coward in these walls. So I was gonna run like a chicken but my mouth had other ideas. "Oh how I wish I could tell you dear Elizabeth Taylor but I don't want to, I feel that the information doesn't need to be shared with a dog like you" The group of bullies were shook with what this wimp just said to them, I then slid by them and saluted them a goodbye as I went into the library to research on the sightings of the super natural and unusual murders.

15 days later

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" I wake up with a start grab my hockey stick and aim it at my attacker when I open my eyes properly, I see Rachel laughing at me, Mr and Mrs Quimpton silently chuckling. I began wondering what was so funny and then I looked down and saw that I was wearing my Hello Kitty pjamas, I blushed a deep crimson and I sat on my bed and as soon as I sat down I was handed a scrumptious 3 course breakfast, a large bowl of yogurt with fruit, a plate piled high with crumpets drowned in syrup and chocolate and finally some coffee with marshmallows. Wow I thought, I thanked them with joy in my heart and my stomach doing its happy dance. Normally my birthday breakfast would be a smal bowl of fruit and yogurt and coffee but obviously they have noticed my change in appetite. When I got comfortable in my bed and began my breakfast they put my presents on my bed, I was so happy.

"Thanks guys" I croaked with joy. I looked up at the three of them, wait a minute only three where was Rhydian. Rachel answered my question by informing me that Rhydian was still in bed because he had stayed up late finishing his science project. I sighed he was really determined not to fail grade 10, again. But the least he could've done was woken up to wish me a happy birthday. I finished my crumpets and then moved on to my coffee. Mr and Mrs Quimpton left to try wake up sleeping beauty down the hall so he can be ready for school, speaking of which what time was it. I finished my coffee and pushed my moutain of books off my bed side table to look at my clock, Ahhhhhh SNICKERDOODLE! I yelled when I saw the time, it was 10 minutes to 7 almost time for school. I scrambled out of bed and rushed to my bathroom, Rachel laughed her head off and then left to go and eat breakfast. I looked at myself and realized the main reason they giggled at me, my hair was so frizzy it made Hermoine's hair look tame, I seriously looked like a stuck my finger in an electrical plug. I didn't have time to wash it so I took some hair tangle-teaser and a comb as I was brushing through my hair I felt two little lumps on the sides of the top of my head, most probably from yesterday when I walked into that door, my hair was not behaving itself it still looked like I had been struck by lightning. I screamed inside my head, I then went to my room to go get changed but I tripped and as I was getting up I realised I had tripped over a present, strange my presents were still on my chest at the end of my bed, I picked it up all it said was this will help I opened it and inside it was a giant beenie, I put it on after I had gotten dressed, I decided to wear the stripped shirt I got for my birthday today, jeggings and some black Tomys. The beenie was a light grey and hid my hair which I had finally managed to put into a messy bun.

I only took 15 minutes to get ready a new record for me. I ran downstairs grabbed my school bag, my lunch box and ran outside and climbed into Mrs Quimpton's car, I loved the smell of it, it always smelled like nutmeg, sugar and cinnamon because Mrs Quimpton owned a pastry store and took the rejects or the failed food home for her hungry children. As we drove to school, yeah I had to go to school on my birthday, I ate a cinnamon roll while wondering who left me that beenie?
Rhydian still hadn't wished me a happy birthday, I ignored the headache I was developing. I stared out of the window, we drove in complete silence that's strange it is never silent, normally Rachel and Rhydian would fight over the music and Shannon would tell them to keep quiet and play Rock Paper Scissors to work it out and the loser would put their earphones in and listen to what they wanted. Today was a strange day so far.

Little did Celina know that her birthday was only going to get stranger.
