Chapter 2~Mistakes Are All I've Ever Done

I wake up the next morning and step into the shower, I let the burning hot water slide down my spine. I put on my school uniform on and wore my green day t-shirt my uncle gave me before we moved under my uniform. I smile when I realize that it still kinda smells like him. I slide my jacket on and sit down at the kitchen table. I take a sip of my hot coco and I listen to the silance. "Hows your wrist since the accadent" my mother says pouring herself a cup of coffe. I sprained my wrist last week in a fight to protect this little boy who was getting beat up by sixteen year olds. I'm not even supose to be playing guitar but I managed to learn my guitar the opisite way in about two days. So now I play it left handed insted of right handed. It hurts to move it but I still move around normally because I ain't pathetic well at least not that much. "Its fine still hurts but I'll live" I say sarcasticly. She nods and says "they kicked you out hopeing you won't get hurt even more, they thought you wouldn't have joined another band so quickly". I slam my hot coco mug on the table a little mad. "If they were real friends they would have kept fath in me and learned that I can handle myself. I'm walking to school now alone!" I say. I strab my guitar case over my back and I slide my messanger bag over my sholder. I walk out and slam the door behind me. As I walk I start to think about my mistakes I've made lately. My band kicked me out,my dad hates me for some unknown reason, my mother trys her best to avoid me, and my brother fired me from being his photographer for his job.My life has turned upside down. I grab my phone out of my pocket and click my contact list. I dial my uncle's number and listen to it ring. "Ah..Umm  hello?" my uncle says into the phone, he sounds like he just woke up. "Hey its me Raven, I was wondering when your coming back to Los Vegas". I say. Billie replies "I'm gonna buy tickets in a few minutes to leave tonight, why". I smile and say "do you think you can buy a plane ticket for denver, Colorado". I hear my uncle cough and say "sure what are you planing this time my little imp". I laugh and her him cough again. "We just moved to there four months ago while you were on tour and I'm in a band, we have battle of the bands on friday and I wanted you to see it" I say. I hear him switch the phone from one hear to another. Then he says "when did you join it", I reply "yesterday and we named it Black Raven, I'm there guitarist. I wouldn't have been it if you wouldn't have passed on the tour in France". I hear him laugh and say "thats becuase you begged me to stay". I giggle and say "same difference and we need to talk after the concert, alone". He grunts and says "sure thing Rav now don't you have school". I stop laughing and say "yup I'm walking towards the parking lot now and I won't tell your wife but I know your drunk". I heard him gasp before I hung up. Then in math class, which is right before lunch I fall asleep. The teacher hits her hand on my desk and I jump up. "You fell asleep in class your lucky I won't give you a detention.... May I suggest that you spend more time sleeping at home in the future" she says. I nod and run to lunch. All the tables were full and I just wanted to be alone anyways. So I walk outside and sat on a bench. It quiet out here thats why I like it but I have to bring a jacket because its really cold. I take a bite of my taco and I hear the door open. I turn around only to be greeted by the school jocks who were a bunch of bullies. "Hey pixie what are you doing aout here all alone" one jock says. I ignore him and take another bite of my taco. "Pixie where talking to you" another says. I'm short,goth, and new so they have pleanty of reasons to pick on me with. "Little Raven too scared to spread her wings" another retorts. One jock grabs the front of my shirt and punches me. "Let go of her" a boys voice says full of authority. "Or what you'll give me a hug" a jock says laughing at his own words. "Nope but why don't you just pick on someone your own size" the boy says. The jock throws me like a ragdoll towards the wall. I hit the grass insted of the wall but I felt like I should've hit that wall. I glance up to see the boy who was trying to help me. I stand up as the jock runs at the boy with full force. The boy didn't look scared he looked more prepared then anything. He does a flip off the wall and lands infront of me. The jock hits the wall and falls to the ground. The other jocks come rushing towards us and I run. I make it to the other side of the school campus in less then two minutes. I sit on the bench and let mad and depressed tears slide down my cheaks. I lay my head in my arms for what feels like hours but I only know its been two minutes at the least. I sit still as I hear someone walk over to me. I didn't say anything hopeing they would understand I just want to be alone. I hear thunder and rain begins to fall on my arms. The darks skies described my mood so perfictly well."You okay" a voice asked, it was the boys voice. I nod but keep my head faceing downwards so he doesn't see me crying."Okay, but why are you crying" the boy asks. I shake my head and say "no I'm not crying". He wispers "yea you are" in my ear. I look up and say "fine I am so what, people have bad days all the time". He says wearily "then why is that cloth around your wrist". I stare at him shocked he thinks I'm so depressed I cut myself. "No its not what you think, I sprained my wrist a few days ago" I say. He looks down and says "Sorry umm-". I reply "Raven and its okay". He looks down and says "wanna go inside to get out of the rain". I nod and we walk towards the school. "Raven, would you like a dry uniform" the boy asks. I nod and he gives me a new skirt and a dry boys shirt. "Why do you keep skirts with you" I ask slightly amused. He quickly says "its my sister's she keeps an extra in my book bag". Then I say "whats your name", he replies "Tyrone Anderson". I remember that name is is the kid who always get A's in every class and is smarter then any average teenager. I quickly walk into the girls locker room and change into the clothes. I walk out and he notices my green day shirt that is longer then the boys shirt. "You like green day" Tyrone says. I nod and say "yea my uncle is there singer". He stares at me shocked and says "Billie Joe Armstrong is your uncle!!!! Thats so so soooo cool". I say "Yea he is coming in town in three days. Maybe I'll show you him". Then we split ways so were not late for class.
