A Twisted Cinderella story
"YOU STUPID CHILD!"
The sound of the slap echoed throughout the room. A red mark started showing its ugly self onto the girl who was facing to her right due to the slap.
"I told you to clean the whole house by the time I got home!" The woman yelled harshly.
The girl lowered her head, her hair hiding her eyes.
"Such a disgrace, if it wasn't for your fathers will of keeping you here I would sold you." The woman spat, pinching her bridge of her nose.
May just stood there, awaiting orders.
Caroline frowned, "Well? Get going! I don't want your filth in this house!" She yelled.
May nodded and turned, she walked out the door. On her way out Max, who was playing in the front-yard stuck his leg out in front of May, which caused her to trip.
"Ha!", Laughed Max, "Whats wrong May? Gonna cry?" He smirked.
May got up and dusted her self, and kept walking.
As soon as she turned the corner she snapped, "That stupid hag!" She yelled at no one, " 'I don't want your filth in this house'" She mimicked in a high pitched voice, "'You gonna cry May?', Ha!" May said in a deep adolescent voice.
"Talking to yourself again May?" A feminine voice teased.
"No, I'm talking to my imaginary friend, say hello to Dawn, Derpy." May said with a sarcastic eye roll.
Dawn gave her a look, that said, 'really?'
May shrugged, "Come on lets go to sch-"
"What happened to your cheek?" Dawn asked for the first time noticing the red hand print on her best-friend's cheek.
"Oh this?" May ask slowly tracing the mark, but flinched when it stung.
"Why do you even stay with her?" Dawn asked taking a packet of poffens out and handing it to May.
Happily taking the packet, May shrugged, "Since dad died Caroline started taking her anger out on me, and if I leave I'm worried she'll start taking it out on Max."
Dawn gave an unladylike snort, "Your worried about Max? Even after how he treats although your older?"
May gave a sad smile, "Everyone is taking the loss differently. This is just how Caroline and Max are passing it." She said throwing a Poffin into her mouth.
"May," Dawn said with a stern look on her face, "Your on first name bases with your mom."
May and Dawn walking in silence. Ever since May's dad died her mom started abusing her, Caroline treated Max differently, way different. She treated Max like a king, giving him what he wants when he wants it, causing him to be such a brat.
May munched on a poffin and asked, "So how do we avoid,them?" Her voice was coated with malice and hate.
Dawn gave a groan, "I was just thinking of that, how about the bathroom?"
May shook her head, "We used that already, plus, they would just wait until we came out." May said with a defeated sigh.
Dawn had a 'meh' look while looking up, signifying that she was in deep thought, "How about we wait until the bell rings, they leave, we get our stuff, and we hop, skip, the heck to our classes?"
May's eyes widened, "Dawn!" she yelled, grabbing hold of Dawns shoulders and shaking her.
"W-What?!" Dawn yelled through shakes.
"That's a fantastic idea!" May yelled, excitement in her eyes.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Dawn said proudly.
Dawn and May had a scholarship to a rich school, Dawn for a Pokemon coordinator, and May for a Pokemon trainer.
Although Dawn was beautiful and full of spirit her father died a long time ago and her mom worked not two but four jobs, each paying very low.
Since May's father died three months ago her mom and her little brother contentiously harass her, Dawn being her only ray of sunshine.
As soon as Dawn caught sight of the school gates she groaned, "Really for hell?" She joked.
"Ready when you are." May smiled.
"Look! It's the commoners!"
"Ew! How did they even get in here?"
"I heard that the blue haired chick is an amazing coordinator."
"Really? I heard that the brunette was really strong!"
Whispers surrounded May and Dawn, putting them at edge.
"You'd think that after the third day they would stop gossiping about us." Dawn whispered into May's ear.
"Right?" May laughed.
"Shit!" Dawn suddenly spat, pulling May into a girls bathroom, clamping a hand over May's mouth.
"Do you see them?" A gruff voice asked.
'Paul' Dawn growled in her mind.
"No, they always come early though, whats holding them up this time?" Said a deep voice.
'Drew' May thought in disgust.
Suddenly May grew very uncomfertable, with Dawn's hand over her mouth and blocking her nose she couldn't breath, struggling as she good Dawn wouldn't lose her hold. So she did what she thought was best: She bit her.
"OW! MAY WHAT THE ARCEUS!?"
….Fuck.
"Come out girls, we know your hinding in there." Came Drew's voice.
May groaned and pulled Dawn along with her.
Cradling her bitten hand Dawn narrowed her eyes, "What do you want now?"
Drew put his hand over his heart in mock hurt, "You don't like us to be near you?"
May smiled a sweet smiled, too sweet, "No." she said with the smile still on.
Dawn gave a small giggle.
Drew glared at May, "We don't want commoners here."
"Well boo-hoo, we're staying here until we graduate." Dawn said with an eye roll.
Drew was about to snap back when he noticed the red mark on May's cheek.
"What happened to your cheek?" He asked, sudden seriousness in his voice.
Taken back by the tone she placed a gentle hand over her cheek, wincing lightly when it gave a sharp sting, "It's none of your business. Just a mosquito bite." May snapped.
"A mosquito bite isn't shaped like a hand, May." Drew took a step closer and reached over to cup her cheek.
But before his hand could reach May a hand gripped his wrist, he turned to look at the owner of the hand.
Dawn. With a furious look.
"Don't you dare touch her," Dawn threaten with just hate and malice that it shocked Paul, Drew, and even May, "Don't you think of pitying May for a second, she doesn't need pity, especially from you." She spat. A look of hurt flashed through Drew's face before it turned to anger.
Jerking his hand back her glared at the bluenette, "Whatever, don't think you'll get away with this."
While they walked away Dawn turned to May, "Come on, lets take you to the nurse." She said while locking her finger onto May's wrist so she wouldn't run away.
May looked down to the smile and nodded.
When the girls reached nurse joy's office they closed the door behind them.
"Hello, what could be the problem-oh," Nurse Joy's face soften when she saw May and Dawn. And the red mark on May's face.
"I always look forward to seeing you, May. Just not in a situation like this." Nurse Joy smiled sadly.
"Is she still beating you?"
As soon as those words left nurse Joy's lips the leaning figure on the other side of the door lightly kicked himself upright and walk away.
So this is a short story I wanted to write out, if you know me by my other story, A sweet nightmare, then I will probably update a new chapter somewhere this month.
