i. burns
𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔' 𝑷𝑶𝑽
I cried out as the burns on my hand screamed in agony. Fat salty tears cascaded down my cheeks and my hands shook as I lifted the bandages on my left hand.
I bit down hard on my bottom lip, close to drawing blood, as I saw the nasty blisters, leaking with puss. I shivered in disgust as I tried not to gag.
Mother was angry, very, very, very angry and as usual, took it out on me.
Ever since Bellatrix left and married Vernon, Mother had no tolerance with disobedience. Two days ago I accidentally managed to let a plate drop from my hands as I was balancing a boiling pot of water in my hands as I was preparing dinner.
It dropped and shattered as Mother was in the room and grabbed my hand and held it onto the scalding hot stovetop until I passed out from the pain.
My hand hurt so bad I couldn't even use it. I had no medical experience, so I couldn't tell how bad it really was.
It felt as if it was constantly on fire, and the puss leakage was bad enough. As I was lost in my thoughts, loud laughter broke me from my deep thoughts.
Down below my window, mere feet away from my house, stood the most gorgeous boys I'd ever seen. Playing basketball in the street.
They went to my new school, the academy transfers. Nine of them I believe. They seemed to have a strong bond. Friends until the end...something I wished I had.
I watched in envy as the exotic giant and the scary giant in black nudge eachother in good humor. In my opinion, those two were the scariest ones, they were huge, really tall and frightened me.
I started to back away silently, and went into the bathroom, not noticing the curious eyes of my new neighbor, Kota Lee watching me.

Monday morning, my hand had seemed to have gotten worse.
"It just had to get infected, didn't it?" I asked myself, wincing as I wrapped it up after applying a healing salve. I ignored the pain as I slipped into black leggings, a simple cami and a AC\DC hoodie.
For good measure, I pulled the sleeve of my hoodie to cover my injured hand to keep it hidden. Then proceeded to slip on my worn converse. I made sure to tie the laces of my shoes tight. I was a total klutz; I've proven I could trip over thin air.
I brushed through my waist length raven colored hair and stared into the mirror. My face looked gaunt, sick looking. I cringed as I looked away from the mirror and grabbed my backpack, throwing it over my shoulder.
I quietly closed my bedroom door to not awaken the beast a few doors down and scurried into the kitchen, grabbing a small apple for myself and a yogurt, crackers, and a bowl of fresh strawberries for mother.
I tiptoed to her room, pressing my ear to the door and listened closely. I sighed in relief as I heard her loud snores and the loud voices from the TV. I gently opened her door, and snuck in, screwing my face up at the mess in her room. I laid the food on the nightstand and hurried out.
Her room was the messiest and dirtiest place In the house. I was never allow to clean her room. I put my apple in my bag for lunch later and headed out the door.
As I walked to school, I was consumed by my thoughts. What would I learn in school today? Before i started at Ashley Waters, I'd never been to a school before, all I had learned was from books or from bella.
You could learn many things from books, for instance; learning to play the violin, fix cars, languages, act.
Books are my solace, my safe place ever since I can remember. I quietly hummed as I neared the school parking lot, I pulled my hood over my head and headed Into school.
