The Way We Judge (NanoWrimo2013)
Prologue:
Trey Denver:
"Get out of the house, Trey! You're not welcome here. Didn't we tell you last week?" My so called 'mother' shouted at me with her pale face going bright red and her nose scrunching up.
My eyes bored Into the white tiles and I sucked in a raspy breath, scared to look back up towards my mother.
Her hand reached towards me, latching around my neck making me choke as I tried to breath through my nose.
"You coward! Look me in the eyes." My mother cried out shaking my trembling body.
I icily glared at my mother as I moved my head upwards slightly so that my bright green eyes met her blue ones.
Ellie Roger:
"Have you done your homework sweetie?" My dad smiled sweetly at me.
I fiddled with the rim of my glasses and smiled back at him.
"Yes, Daddy."
"Good Girl. Your mother is cooking dinner. Do be ready." My dad turned around on the tips of his toes and walked quickly out of the room.
I closed my eyes and lent my forehead onto the cool surface of my messy desk.
Max Henderson:
"Max! Maxine!" My Mum called out to my twin sister and I.
Before I exited my bedroom I checked my iPhone 5s greedily but instantaneously felt guilty.
I had to remember that not all people were as fortunate and rich as I was.
My lock screen was lit up brightly and the picture of my best friend and I showed up on the lock screen.
I hastily answered the vibrating black phone and answered with, "hello."
Maxine Henderson:
"Max! Maxine!" I heard my mum shout out calmly despite the fact this was the third time she had called us.
I sighed and pressed the X button on my Apple Mac computer.
My petition page disappeared and I reluctantly stood up flattening my floral skirt.
I looked myself over in the mirror in order to make sure I looked alright.
My makeup remained in tack as well as my clothes so I turned and walked out the door with a fake smile plastid onto my face.
Sawyer Sadie:
"I hate you!" My father growled at my mother causing me to flinch.
My pen made a small circle on the piece of white paper and I shoved my black headphones in my ears to block out the noise.
An assurance that I wouldn't end up crying again and wake up with puffy, red eyes.
Looking upwards I met my mirror and groaned in annoyance.
Why?
Lincoln Xavier:
"We have to break up Lincoln, I'm sorry." Lydia, my ex girlfriend said glumly.
The next day I had gone to her house with a stone cold expression.
Opening the wooden door I entered her small, empty house and made my way over towards her bedroom.
Knocking on the door I didn't hear a word so I took it upon myself to open the door and the image that came with it I could never forget.
I bolted in an upright position sweat pouring from my face and my lip quivered at the sight of that memory.
Narrator:
The core of the problems are all evident but hidden when not in the environment. So do you really now absolutely everything about your friends? Your fellow students?
