• im sitting in a room as bright as outside on a foggy day. im in a blue ripped dress; im at a party. at a table; sitting in a yellow kids chair; surrounded by stuffed animals. but their talking; talking about noon; but the time here is always noon; and they sit and repeat the same words all day trying to top each others day "well i was at a party with my friend Charlie." Im Charlie; i wasnt a typical girl; Here where here may be i was wanted, back there; in the normal, dull, world i was hated; completed hated by man-kind. i found a way to escape. i could escape when i wanted to; it was easy. i it envoled was opening my closet door and saying the words " there, is where i need to be, and here is where i must not be." and Poof i was amung my friends; my only friends. but at noon it was simply time for me to return to the hideous normal world;The next day i went to school. i had no friends; none at all at my boring, dull school., it was like ever other school; annoying and clicks that i were hated, i didnt have a myspace, i didnt need one, who would i add anyways; the stuffed animals; and be a laughing stock times 100000 times more; im always getting harrassed i just do what my mom says; she says block them out, there not worth it. everyday a girl named cali the most pretty, and popular girl at our school would come up to me and say " wanna be friends charlie?" of course shes kidding; her little want to be cali's followed her and smirked and giggled and when i said "its a joke, i already know. " they denied it, but ofcourse i knew the truth, my stuffed animal friends said they wanted to be me; they were jealous of me; hows that true i continously wondered; its just not possible. Anyways everyday was a usual drag; everyday id run of the ugly yellow bus; and run threw the doors; i screamed IM HOME!! hopeing my mother would care; but she never did; she was too busy gardening in her garden. always lillies and roses, but every year she would plant 3 black roses; just for me; because rare is cool. "normal is boring, rare is unique" that was my motto. i ran to the closet said the words; and poof i was in my favorite place; my home sweet home; or was i? it was dark as midnight out; my friends werent herre; it wasnt noon; i was begining to feel frightened, when all of a sudden a flash blinked. as fast as a nano-second; i ran after it; hopeing i wouldnt stumble upon my face; it led me to a life size garden; with a million billzion black roses; almost making them not fun because they were so normal here; i went to go sniff one when it moved and said " what do you think your doing!" and i was stunned; i was looking for the words so it happened to be shakey as i said it but i said "oh....my..im so awefully ...sor...sorry. i did...didnt know you were al..." "child speak dont stumble" said the rose; "i didnt know you were alive im so sorry" i hurryed of and finished. "how unbelieveabley rude!" exclaimed the black rose!! i didnt mean to offend you i quickly said; "humh" said the rose and fell back sleep. " what a crabby rose" i thought to myself trying to keep my distance so i didnt have to face anymore snotty black roses i hurried myself along.i kept thinks how obsierd it was for that rose to talk, exspecially in such a rude tone, i wanted my friends; i felt like i was going to cry; they always made me happier; after walking for miles apon miles of black roses charlie came to a sign, a sign with two arrows pointing in different directions. they both read the word "there" " i guess it doesnt matter where i go it will both lead me there." said alice not meaning to say that outloud. "thats a matter of opinion" said an anyomous voice. "who said that" said alice carefully choosing her words she didnt want to offend anyone nor anything else. " look harder." said the voice again. " Oh My! its you lighting bug you brought me to the black roses!"exclaimed charlie." you can travel there to there or there apon there" said the lighting bug. "explain the difference please" said charlie, hopeing she choose carefully enough. "your a smart girl, i think you know." and he disapeared quickly without a goodbye. "well i shall go with the right there, because the right is always the right way right?" charlie thought confusied still of what the lighting bug had said. it seemed like she had been walking in circles for ever and ever! but finally she came upon millions of 4 leaf clovers and beneath them were what seemed to be a never ending pit of darkness.....
