Sally's Pov
I was just finishing up a drawing when Jake sat down. He was tall with brown hair and a slight tan. He was wearing a red and white shirt with jeans and white shoes. There was something about him that looked familiar but I couldn't figure out what.
"Need something Hot Topic?"
I flinched before responding, "No sorry." I got up and went to my room.
I ripped the sketch out and put it in the folder with the other ones. Before turning and staring at the blank walls.
'Purple on these three.' I turned to the wall behind me, 'What to do with this one?'
I flipped through some of my sketches, 'This one.'
It was a sketch of a dragon that I did in charcoal. Took me awhile but I like how it turned out. I'll have to pick up a few things from work tomorrow, 'Wonder if we have any lights at the store?' I was snapped out of my thoughts by a knock at the door.
"Come in!"
"Hey kiddo were ordering pizza is that ok with you?"
"Yeah that's fine."
"Ok let's go then!"
"Why?"
"Were having a family night!"
"Ok…."
I walked out of my room and sat on the far side of the couch.

"So what do you guys want to do?" I asked sitting on the floor across from the couch.
Sally shrugged her shoulders pulling her knees to her chest.
"I don't know." Maddie said not looking up from her book.
"How about-" I was about to suggest a movie when there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Jake stood up and walked over to the door.

I walked over to the door and opened it.
"One large cheese pizza, a bottle of Diet Pepsi, and a bag of breadsticks?"
"Yep." I pulled out my wallet.
"Twenty-one seventy-nine."
I paid for the food bringing it to the living room. I walked back to the kitchen and grabbed a few glasses out of the cupboard. I sat down on the floor by the coffee table.
"So…." Amy took a sip from her pop, "How about we get to know eachother better."
"How?" Maddie asked looking up from her book.
"Truth or dare?" I suggested taking a bread stick.
"Yeah!" Amy clapped his hands excitedly.
I noticed Sally flinch at the sudden movement and noise backing up even more into the couch if possible.
"I don't see why not." Maddie put her book on the couch giving us her full attention sitting by Amy on the floor.
I looked over at Sally.
She sighed, "Fine but no questions about are past. Deal?"
"Deal!" I turned to Amy, "Amy truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you have a job and if yes where?"
"Yes, I work at Tea and Coffee Cafe. It's just a few blocks from here! Sally truth or dare?"
A couple of minutes passed before Sally answered, "Truth…"
"Do you have any siblings and what are their names?"
"I have an older brother….his name is Damien."
I smirked looking at Sally, "Is he more or less emo then you?"
"Oh definitely less. I ha-" She shook his head, "Truth or dare princey?"
"Princey?"
"You look like a prince and sing Disney songs. Truth or dare?"
"Dare, a prince is never afraid of a challenge."
Sally smirked before going to her room. I gave the others a confused look. A couple of minutes later Sally came back with a bag.
"I dare you to let me dye part of your hair."
The smirk on her face grew when she saw my reaction.
"Wh-what!?"
"I dare you to let me dye part of your hair."
"How long will it take?"
She shrugged, "About an hour."
"How long will it last?"
"Depends on the color."
"Do I get to choose the color?"
"Nope." She popped the p dragging me to the bathroom.
Sally's Pov
I dragged Jake to the bathroom and told him to sit. I put a towel around his neck, put on some rubber gloves and looked through the different colors I had. At this point the other two were standing in the doorway watching. I grabbed a bright red orange color that wouldn't come out for a while.
"Princey it's your turn." I said starting to apply the dye.
"For what?"
I rolled my eyes, "Truth or dare? Or are we done?"
"Oh right, microsoft nerd, truth or dare?"
Maddie looked unamused at the nickname, "Truth."
"What classes are you taking?"
"Psychology, mathematics, and astronomy."
"Maddie where do you work?" Amy asked as I took a step back looking at Jake's hair.
"At the library."
I looked in the mirror noticing my purple fading. I dug in the bag a little pulling out the dark purple I use in my hair.
"Please tell me you're not putting purple in my hair."
"Relax sir-sings-a-lot it's for me."
I turned back to the mirror applying the purple.
"Kiddo where do you work?" Amy asked, looking at me.
"At the craft store on the corner of third and fifth avenue." I put the purple away checking on Jake's hair.
"Is it done yet?"
"Almost."
"Where did you learn to dye hair?" Maddie asked.
"My brother, he learned from his roommate and then taught me."
"Do you know his roommate?"
"Yeah….why?"
"Just asking."
"Ok?"
I packed up the rest of my hair stuff throwing the gloves in the trash can.
"Your hair is done now princey, I'm going to hit the hay it's been a long day. That was….fun….you should let me dye your hair more often."
I walked to my room closing the door behind me. I put my headphones on sitting at my desk. A few hours later I looked at my phone 12:00 am. It's early but I might as well try to get some sleep. I walked over to the bed and fell into a comfortable sleep.
I sat up in bed and turned my alarm off. I got dressed and applied my makeup before going into the kitchen.
"Good morning kiddo!" Amy greeted me as I grabbed a cup of coffee.
"Hey Amy."
I sat down at the table scrolling thru my phone when Jake came out of the bathroom singing some Disney song before sitting next to me.
"Hello JD-lightful!"
I gave him a two finger salute walking to my room to pack my bag. I put the books I need, my computer, headphones, and a sketchbook in my backpack. I put on my shoes and slung my bag over my shoulder. Walking out of my room I saw Amy putting on her shoes.
"Hey kiddo! Are you going to school?"
"Yeah you?"
"Yep! Come on we can go together!"
"Ok…."
"Jake! Maddie! Let's go, we're going to be late!"
"Coming Madre!" Jake came out of his room.
"There's no need to yell." Maddie slung her bag over her shoulder picking up her keys off the table.
"Let's go!" Amy pulled me out of the apartment and to her car
Maddie and Jake hopped into the car after us, Jake next to me in the back and Maddie in the front with Amy. The drive was mainly quiet, Amy and Maddie talking, Amy making puns and jokes every so often making Maddie groan every time. When we got to campus me and Maddie headed to psychology, Jake headed to theater, and Amy went to some sort of cooking class.
"So Sally, how come you're taking psychology?"
"I don't really know….it's interesting and I've always been good at that type of stuff….what about you?"
"I may not be the best with emotions but I do enjoy studying the human mind."
I nodded my head along with what she was saying as we walked.
"Oh were here." Maddie stopped and held the door open for me.
"Thank you." I mumbled stepping inside.
"Of course."
The room wasn't that big but I still sat in the back by the windows. Maddie sat next to me taking out her book. The morning went by smoothly and before I knew it, it was time for lunch. I shoved my books and sketchbook in my bag and left class. I was heading down the hall to the main doors when someone pulled me back by my hoodie. I fell to the floor and looked up seeing three guys. The one to my left was wearing jeans and a black tee, with jet black hair. The one to my right had red hair, he was wearing a white shirt, jean jacket, and ripped jeans. My breath hitched when I saw who was in the middle. He had platinum blonde hair, cold grey eyes, black shirt, black shoes, and jeans…..Carson Coal.
"Well, well, well look what we have here….it's the emo freak from high school."
I stood back up slowly backing away from them, "Leave me alone Carson."
"Why do that when I can have some fun."
I was about to run when one of the guys grabbed my arm and pulled me back. My breath started picking up as Carson walked over to me. He punched me in the face, my eyes filled with tears as the pain spread on my face. I felt something warm fall down my face, probably blood. One of the guys kicked me in the ribs….on the left side…..not good...I yelped in pain and tried to back up but didn't get very far before someone pulled me up and shoved me against the wall. Carson punched me in the gut a couple times before dropping me to the floor. I could feel the panic attack coming but heard someone yelling. I turned my head to see…..
