Karla's Point of View:

Running away from your problems was normal, right? If so, then that was probably the only normal thing about me.

"Why the fuck did you do that?"

I growled out, subconsciously grabbing his tattoed arm. He winced out in pain and I instantly let go of his hand shocked at my behaviour.

"J-j-just don't mess with him." I said rushing out of the nurse's office.

I needed to get out of here.

---------------------

She landed a low blow on me. The crowd roared in excitement and the people who usually made money off me shouted in frustration.

Why didn't I just fucking talk

Why should I have spoken anyway? ..... It's normal, right?

I ducked, narrowly dodging an uppercut.

Yeah... Normal... It's normal.

I landed three successive blows in her stomach and she flew to the ground and lay there unconscious.

Then why do I feel like crap?

The referee came into the ring and lifted my hand, declaring me the winner of the match. The boxing ring might be illegal but it helps me clear my mind and right now, that's exactly what I needed, especially with the way my heart clenched anytime I remembered Astro's betrayed face.

I walked out of the gym to the house that wasn't home.

Astro, why did I start liking you

----------------

Staring at the damp walls of my bedroom, the answer to the question that had been bothering me was already in my head. It's because he's normal. The only sunshine amongst the rain that is me.

I was sick of the thrill and the bad girl I was, my parents would've been overjoyed hearing me, if only they weren't half away across the country. They didn't like me being different. I was supposed to wear skirts not jeans, attract boys not punch them, and pretend that the fights in the kitchen didn't happen. Because all these were normal, I just wasn't.

It wasn't right to keep thinking these kinds of thoughts.

Apologize, I just need to apologize

------------------

I set out the next day to his house to apologize. I tapped on his window since he would probably be grounded.

After a few minutes, his messy brown hair poked out the window. He glanced at me and immediately uttered the cursed words. I froze, I had heard those words before, and every time, something bad always happened. So I turned and ran, afraid to see if my guess was correct or not.

After that, I honestly can't remember what happened, all I can remember was the flash of disco and neon lights blended with the smell of alcohol.

I woke up with my head feeling like it was opened with an axe. I looked around the room, looking too messy to be mine. My eyes landed on the figures staring at me.

Oh, am in James' room

"What the fuck do you want?" I said, tiredly pushing myself out of the bed.

Ryan pushed me back down on the bed.

"Is this because of that boy?" Jake snarled out.

I finally snapped.

"What the fuck is wrong with you guys." I screamed out. They looked at me wide-eyed, shocked at my defensiveness.

"He did nothing wrong and yet you all seem to hate him. Is it because his fuking normal?"

I was breathing heavily at this point and regretting shouting as my headache seemed to reach the maximum level.

"He's changing you." James muttered out.

"What if I want to be changed?" I silently replied.

They glanced at each other.
"Listen, we didn't come here to fight," Emily said, putting her around around me as she sat on the bed. "We just don't want you to be someone you're not."

"But if you want to continue, we will respect your wishes and even apologize to Astro and Joy on Friday" Stella said looking at everyone.

They nodded in agreement except for James, who sat in the corner looking sleep-deprived, but I chose to ignore him. Everything was going to be normal again.

That was what I thought until I was dragged into the janitor's closet and the cursed words repeated. It was time to see if my gut was right but I really hoped it wasn't, because the wall I built was crumbling and the darkness was spilling out.
