Story Draft
Trixie is a girl a little
different from the rest of her high school mates. She wears bright colors and
wardrobe that could make a person go blind from the bubble gum saturated hues.
She spends her time listening to music at school rather than hanging out with
the rest of the students. She has good grades at school and finishes her work
in class. People see her as a very out casted individual and prefer to make fun
of her instead of befriend her for their own sake. She clearly just doesn’t fit
in with the rest which sometimes can be a little scary during any teen’s high
school years. High school is not only your stepping stone into college and
adulthood, but it is the test and breaking point of those who learn to adapt or
be shunned of into the dark corners or high school social life.
Colored Different
It’s 10pm on a Friday night.
Music is playing in Trixie’s colorful stuffed animal filled room. Trixie is
looking in the mirror as she applies her makeup. Glancing into the mirror she
has a flashback, Trixies locker. Her locker written all over with comments such
as “color freak” “Trixies BF is a rainbow Unicorn”. Trixie continues from her
split memory and slips on her bracelets, turns off the music, closes her laptop
and walks out of her room. She walks into the kitchen were on the table lies a
kitchen knife and water bottle. Trixie looks over at her mother who is
preoccupied in the kitchen. Trixie grabs her water bottle and walks out. The
door shuts and her mother turns around. She looks over at the clock displaying
10pm and just nods her head worriedly.
At
school during lunch time, the tables are full of students chatting and eating
in large groups, except for one table. Trixie’s tables where she sits alone,
listening to music and eating. Every so often a kid will pass by and taunt her
by flicking her plate or food, and calling her names.
10:30pm
and Trixie walking down a dark road path. Looking around observing her
environment she notices a car with the words “Kandi Land” written on the
windows. At sight Trixie’s mind sparks the memory of her class mates driving
slowly on a car with the words “rainbow weirdo” painted on the window and them
taunting her. The road ends and continues onto a scraper high cliff at the end
with the sight of the beach down below. Trixie slowly walks up to the end of
the cliff. She stands at the very edge and then with her eyes closed she opens
up her arms and takes a deep breath. The moment goes silent for a few seconds. 2
people suddenly emerge and come up behind Trixie and cause her to turn around. Trixie
runs towards these brightly colored neon glowing exotic looking individuals who
happen to be her friends waiting for her. They take Trixie past the cliffs and
down a small path that leads them to the sounds of electronic music and flashes
of exotic colored lights in the distance along the cliffs.
