<span style="font-style: italic">Beep, beep, beep</span>rang Grace’s alarm had been beeping for over thirty minutes straight now. Daniel, Grace’s father looked up from his paper in irritation.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">When does she plan to come down? She can’t stay up there forever, she is going to school come heaven or hell”</span>He thought to himself as he took another sip from the warm mug that sat steaming on the table.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">”He can’t make me go. Nope not happening.”</span>Grace thought to herself,she had been up for hours in dread of going to this new school. School for her was awkward and not everything she had dreamt about as a child. And now here she was letting that blasted alarm blare while she waited out her father in her bathroom. Grace looked over her shoulder into the mirror, letting her hand glid over her shoulder blade only inches from the hidden slit’s on her back.<br/><br/>“Grace Darlow, get a move on. There is no debate today, you are going and that is final!” Daniel yelled through Grace’s door. Grace jumped at the sound of her father’s booming voice. Even for a human he could be scary, well not as scary as her. But she would never harm her father, other’s well that wasn’t really a problem.<br/><br/>“Fine I’ll be right down” Grace yelled back the clear tone of sourness in her tone. A heavy sigh escaped her pink lips, her hazel eyes watching the ceiling in frustration.<br/><br/>“God’s help me” breathed Grace.<br/><br/>An hour later Grace sat in the admin office of the school while her father spoke to principale. She could tell he was clearly aggravated with her. He continually gave her ‘the look’. Meaning<span style="font-style: italic">”Grace you do as your told and try and not get caught”</span>she rolled her eyes at the same sentence he breathed to her all the time. Gods she was over it.<br/><br/>Thru the glass windows she know say her future classmates, she was not impressed. Most of them you could tell what they were not like her. Her harpy side hidden under human mask of helplessness. But despit her pretty name and pretty face. she just couldn’t seem to like those around her always pushing away, always punishing those who thought her weak to need them.<br/><br/>“Grace Darlow, it’s time to show you to your classes”Grace nodded and gave another to her father who nodded a goodbye to her as well. With that Grace now walked the bustling halls of her new school [“Oh Joy”[/i] thought grace as she rolled her eyes as she moved amongst the crowd.
