Bored...

Danica climbed the stairs up to the roof and looked around. Oh, how interesting. I'm up high. She rolled her eyes, wondering why she'd even come up. She walked over the edge. Leaning over slightly and looking down, she came up with a big dizzy surge. Ay, I know that I get dizzy! she thought. Why do I do that? She continued to lean agains the railing, but looked straight ahead instead of down. There are the mountains...

Danica sighed. She really hated it here. At her old shcool, she was popular. People appreciated her attitude, and they didn't take it offensively when she was sarcastic. People at her old school got to know her. Here, they took one look at her hair, and judged her for that. After she spoke in her normal sarcastic tone, she was judged even more.

She wasn't going to be nice. Oh, no, Danica was never nice. Unless she was sucking up to someone, she wasn't nice. She still wished someone would ask her to the winter dance and at least pretend to like her so they could get to know her...

Danica turned around slowly to see two guys walking towards her across the roof, looking very tired and quite a bit like she did when she was about to explode. "Uh... not really..." she said, turning back to the mountains. Yay... people to talk to. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She stared over the edge and looked to the left. There's the lake... and the forest...

After it had been silent for awhile, it began to feel awkward. Do they expect me to talk to them? she wondered. Um... no... I don't talk... Danica still felt like she should say something, so she said, "Did you get sick of all the freaks?" she said, hoping they would know that she meant the annoying, giggling, self-centered kids at the academy.

Danica grinned in spite of herself. She was surprised that anyone else thought so. "I agree. They can't say a single word without giggling." She rolled her eyes and looked down at the ground one more time, staring at the tiny dots that were the students. She squeezed her eyes shut when she began to feel dizzy and stared over at the lake. It was pretty up here... in an annoying sort of way.

"Danica," she said, turning away from the railing. Someone else who shared her great hate of these people made her suddenly feel a lot better than she had, which was saying something. Before, she'd felt like she was going to collapse from not screaming. "You?"

"Eh, kinda. More like, fear of falling over the edge. I'm okay in elevators, but if there's any chance of me falling off, I get dizzy. Roller coasters are not my thing." Danica stepped back to face Soryuju.

"So, what's your problem? Bad day, or is this normal for you? Seems like everybody has some secret where they can't smile and they have to go around talking in monotones." She rolled her eyes. "Like, nobody's nice. At all."

Danica leaned over another time to see what he was grinning at. "You're doing that?" she asked, before she had to stare up again.

She leaned her head on her hand, feeling really tired. She tucked her hair behind her hears and looped it into a loose ponytail. Hmm, she thought, looking at it, turquoise was getting kind of old. What color next? Maybe pink...
