Academy L'amour chapter two- part oneFirst Day

I pulled over.So, this was the place where I was g oing to live the next few years.Or, when you asked me, the next few WEEKS.I dont get why Jack said that I really would love it here, to me it didnt look different than anyother prison, ehhh, school.

I was thinking about the past two years, when I lived with him and his family.It was now I realized how difficult I made it for him, Julia, Ty and Darren. At school and at homeI knew how I behaved myself, and trust me when I say this, now I looked back, I wasnt proudof itI decided to write them a letter to apologize; I know I could call them but. I wasnt reallygood with words; a letter would work out better.Well, I could at least try to like it here, for them.They loved me as much as I loved them, my mother and Julia knew each other since theyput me and Darren at the same crche and he and I got into a fight about who was go ing toplay the knight. (I know, girls usually always want to be the princesses but I truly hatedresses, I thank god that they invented jeans.)My mother and Julia became best friends (as did Darren and I after we made it up) ; she even

made Jack to my godfather.Thats the reason I lived with them since my dad was be found unable to take care of me bythe court.I looked around a little, trying to see were my house was standing, which wasnt so hard,believe me.The street where my house (if you could call that closet a house) was standing wasntsomething to write home about (clich, I know) , but I had to admit, the rest was perfect.I dont know why but I always really liked being around water, it calmed m e down when I lostmy temper once again, and my house was standing away from the other houses and was theclosest one to the lake.The way it looked it was familiarIt reminded me a little of my old house.Suddenly a pain shot trough me, along with a memory, one I really didnt wanted toremember...

I looked up at her.My little too high tempered girl The woman above m e laughed.I loved that voice, I loved that person .My mother Come with me Roxane, please? I shook my head.I did have my pride you know, although I was only five years old.Do it for me, please Roxane. I sighed.She knew that I couldnt say no, not to her.

Only if you sing me a song.I insisted.Mom laughed again Ok she said and started singing my favorite lullaby .

With a shock I came back to the here and now.I had tears in my eyes .The tears were of pain.Pain of unbearable loss.Pain I didnt want to feel.

And that one tiny memory brought it right back up.Pain I was hiding for over two years in the deepest, darkest place of my mind.It slipped through the walls I had build around it, like it did every once in a while.I knew I wouldnt be able to hold it back, so I rushed into the house and slammed the door shut behind me.I fell with my back against it and slid down to the ground.I cried.I cried my heart out it didnt help, the tears wouldnt stop.I suffered.I suffered over the heartbreaking pain that was ripping me apart from the inside

It didnt help, the pain wouldnt stop.This all I did in silence ...I did teach myself that when I noticed it hurt dad seeing me as lifeless as I had become after

she died, and the last thing I wanted to do was inflict more pain on him then he already had .For him I had to be strong , because he couldnt be it for me.Ok, he wasnt my real dad but my biological father ditched on my mother when she told himshe was pregnant.She promised me that she would tell everything she knew about h im the day I turned sixteen.Then I would be old en mature enough, she said, to handle it.It never came that farI only knew how he looked when he was 36 years old, my mother once showed me a pictureof him because I wouldnt stop asking about him, dont blame me, I was 6 years old.But I never forgot Since THAT day I changed a lot and I knew it.I used to wear pink and red sweaters with a skirt or something very girlish.Now I did wear a black tank top, a skinny jeans and long black leather boots.

I even painted my hair, before it always was very dark blond; my mother always said that myhair mirrored my personality, gold, shiny and beautiful as she thought it was.It also was very long, it came till my waist.Now it was hanging just over my shoulders, and it went from golden blond to dark brown atthe end.If it wasnt for the reason why I changed it, I wouldve actually liked it.But my fashion sense wasnt the only thing that had changed, my personality did toBefore IT happened I always was very open to people, let everybody into my heart who waswilling to enter it.Now I knew betterDont let anyone into your heart, because when you do, you only can get hurt by the one thatenters it.With other words:I didnt give a damn about anything anymore.Or at least, I tried toI got myself together and whipped the remaining tears out of my eyes.You left that part of you behind when you left, right? I thought, remembering myself at thepromise I made to myself.Did I? I asked it myself but I didnt know the answer.Just when I got up the door opened an d a girl came in.Who are you? And what are you doing in my house? she asked harsh.Huh, guess I met my roommate.I stared at the girl that was facing me; the pain was forgotten for a moment.Didnt I know her?

We both were silent when we looked at each other, both having the same weird feeling.We continued to stare at each other, trying to figure out why we felt like this, where we metbefore.But no memory came back like it did a few minutes ago when only a memory of a house

made the pain of the loss of my mother come back.uhmmm Hello I managed to get out.Roxane, by the way I said right after that, still not really my old sarcastic self again.The girl looked disorientated, like she wasnt here with her thoughts.Huh? I mean, sorry, what did you say? she still sounded a little confused.I smiled a little, because I could i maging hoe she felt.I told you that my names Roxane. I said, still smiling.Ow well, Im June. The girl answered.Hi June, well I guess they didnt tell you that Im your roommate , for as long as were on thisschool at least. I grinned slightly.June recovered herself again, now smiling too.Yeah, they forgot. But its nice to meet you. I have to admit when I first thought I was goingto be alone here it scared me a little she was grinning now as well.

Well, like I said my names Roxane, Roxan e Johnson.Im June, June Lysand. But wait a second; youre the girl that was absent today. I guess.

A little awkward silence fell.So, how did you end up here? I asked.My father dumped me here because he didnt want me around, he doesnt love me.He always wanted a boy and my mother had trouble when she was pregnant and when shegave birth to me, the doctors said that she couldnt have children anymore.

And now because of me hell never have the son he wants she acted like she didnt carebut I saw that it hurt her , even if she didnt wanted to admit it.Well at least you have a father . I said sour.She looked confused at me so I explained.When my mother was 23 she fell in love with some guy she barely knew.

He talked her into bed and when she told him she was pregnant he left her.She never heard of the bastard again and remarried.Two years ago she died in a car accident; I was standing 5 feet away from it and saw ithappen.My stepfather was so. I actua lly dont even know how to say it.He loved her so much and the pain of losing her drove him insane.Within two weeks after she died he was addicted to coke, heroine and pot.He drank at least two bottles of vodka a day.I dont know how but somehow ev erybody found out and the judge said I couldnt live withhim anymore.Since then I lived with my mothers best friends.I got kicked of five schools in the past two years; this school is their last hope for me finding aplace where I actually like it. I explained in a flat voice , I didnt want to scare her with theanger I felt inside me.She looked at me with stunned eyes I I ... Im so sorry for you she obvious didnt knowhow she should react to my story.Dont be, you cant help it. The thing Im actually the most pissed about is that they never found the fucking bastard that killed her this time I couldnt hold my anger back.Trough that anger suddenly came realization.I just told a girl I barely knew my whole life storyI havent told anyone anything about my life, not ever I felt like I should.

And now it was like I had to tell her, not like was finally bursting out because I hold it back tolong, no it was more like I felt this girl should and could know about it.Weird

So, youve been to this school already, huh? Hows it like? I asked, finally shaking thatweird feeling she gave me of.She nodded and I wasnt completely sure, but I thought I saw her blush just the slightest bitSomehow my mind already started racing in search for ways to get on my teachers nerves,only by the thought of school.Well, its a really nice here. Beautiful school. Build by the Greeks when I remember correctly. But all the new classes are kind of weird though

What, in freaking hells name, was she talking about?!My emotions probably were spelled out on my face because she quickly went on .Oh, you didnt know? To learn how to be and or get a good mermaid we have all kinds of new classes like ancient Latin and Greek and stuff. We also have a lot of new Europeanclasses like French for instance. I just stared at her, not able to do something else.When I finally collected myself I spoke the words: Im sorry and Im sure Im wrong but didyou just say mermaid?!Yeah, you know this is a school for mere people, right?I just continued to stare at her, my mind blank.You didnt know either? Ow, Im so glad. This means Im not the only one thats completelynew to all of this! she said , sounding very relieved.Finally I collected myself and my stare turned skeptical.

This was some sort of bad get the freshman joke, or what?!June saw my expression and bit her lip.You dont believe me, do you?My mouth fell open.Did you expect me to?!Listen! You have to believe me! I swear Im not lying!!! This really is a school for mermaidsand man andand when they let you in here that means that youre one yourself, too.June stared at me with pleading eyes.Yeah yeah, and in the forest up there live fairies and we have a town nearby wherevampires and werewolves are living together! ( No way I was going to tell her that when Iwas 13 I actually wished they would)Roxane, please! If you would just let me explain things, listen for a secNo, you listen! You can stop this stupid jokeshe didnt let me finish but interrupted like I

just did: Im not joking! A knock on the door interrupted our almost fight.Quickly, June walked over to open the door.Hey June! I wanted to The new girl stopped mid sentence and turned to me UmmHello, Im Lenea! And youre. Roxane. Nice to meet you. I filled in for her and shook her hand.Hey Nea, Roxane is my roommate. Roxane, Lenea is a freshman , too, just like us.Lenea seemed nice, honest.Someone you could trust.June interrupted my thinking.Lenea, could you help us out with something?

Of course! What is it?Well Roxane is new, very new to all of t his. And she knows nothing about us. Junesaid, a little hesitant.Lenea nodded O, I see. You dont believe that we are mermaids .I sighed and rolled my eyes.Honestly, they should stop it now.It started to piss me of!Look, when I touch water, I dont have a fishtail suddenly ! I think fish tastes gross and Im

not that a good singer. I quickly denied all the mermaid clichs I could think of.Lenea laughed at me.Of course not! Thats because theyre all lies!!! she was lost in thought for a mom ent.Then she suddenly had an exultant smile on her face.I know something thatll convince you. Come on, lets go to the lake!

Me and June were standing with our feet in the water and I instantly felt myself calm down.Lenea walked in further until the water came till her waist.She blinked at us once and disappeared under water.I kept staring at the place she disappeared in confusion. Where did she go?Me and June stared at the lake for a few minutes, then I started to worry.Was she alright? No one c ould held his breath for so longThen I saw a bright light coming from under the water only 5 feet away from us.

I took a step back automatically but then something huge jumped out of the water.I gasped.No way! No in freaking hells way!!!That was about all that was going on in my head when I recognized the face of the girl thathad a dark green freaking fishtail now instead of two legs!Lenea suddenly came out the water again I front of us.You said what?! she said challenging.Usually I wouldve always had an answer to something like that but now I was still stunnedinto silence because of what I saw.This cant be real. This cant be real. This cant be real. I repeated like a mantra in my head.But it was real. The proof was right in front of me .Still, I couldnt believe it, though the tail absolutely wasnt fake. My head was spinning and Istumbled backwards.

June grabbed my arm and looked me over with a worried look in her eyes.Roxane? Roxane! her voice seemed to come from far like I was fa lling in a hole and shewas standing at the opening calling my name.Then everything went black

Water washed over my face and I shot up.June and Lenea were staring at me worriedly.What happened?! I only remember that we went to the lake so they could show me theproof that they had for the mermaid crap and then Lenea walked in the water andSlowly my memories came back and my breath and heart rate took up.Lenea was a mermaid. And probably June was to.You alright? Lenea asked while she and June helped me up.I nodded and then stared at her.She had normal legs again instead of that fishtail and the legs were so normal that I almostthought that maybe I was wrong about what I saw.But what I saw was real.

A dream couldnt leave such a vivid memory of what happened.SS..So you really are a. I couldnt even speak the word.Lenea smiled halfhearted.Yes I am. And so is June. And when they let you in, you are toLets go inside, I think theres a lot to explain June said.I just nodded and walked after her and Lenea to our house, wondering where the hell I gotmyself into this time
