I hid my best to hide the scars on my arms but my sleeves were slightly too short. "I should just change it again" I sigh and look at the time "ug oh well maybe no one will notice" I grab my purse and slung it over my head then go across the walkway. "This is gonna be the worst night ever" I take a deep breath and knock on the door." "Hey Cat you came!" "mhm, anything for you to stop knocking on my door at seven in the morning for something stupid like ketchup" I pushed back the thought of Sans drinking ketchup right out of a packet form Wendy's. "I mean I just like ketching up on you" He winked and looked at me smiling. I swallowed both a smile and a lump in my throat. "Ok, then not a pun person" He moved out of the way and I mostly saw everyone from our apartment floor but also a few people I didn't even know "are you, friends, with everyone in the apartment complex?" "basically yes" I would be but I don't have the heart to talk to anyone. "Let me introduce you" "wait what!?" I get dragged along by my arm holding in a gasp due to the pain.
"Hey Ashton, I want you to meet someone." I get stopped in front of a tall average looking male with blond hair and brown eyes. "Nice to meet you...?" "Cat" "Why did your parent name you cat?" "It stands for Catherine" "oh" "Yeah..." "Anyway Cat lives across from me. "Wait so this is the girl you brother every morning?" I look over my shoulder and see a dark-haired boy with hazel eyes come walking up. "I mean I wouldn't say every morning" "Dude I see you there every day I come back from my jog" I then see another guy with dark blue hair and green eyes leaning against the counter. "Says the guy with blue hair" "oh haha, says the one that dyed their hair yellow" "shut up Logan" I heard laughing from behind be that made me jump. "I think you should announce yourself, Grayson." "sorry" he placed his hands on my shoulders, I flinch and pull away tensing up stepping closer to Zack "really Grayson?" "what did I do this time Zack?" "you can't touch her, she is um..." I held my sides looking at Zack as he whispered into Grayson's ear. Other than Zack wanting something every day he has been there for me when they never came back. "Oh sorry Catherine" "It's Cat" "sorry" I just nod and hold my sides and look at the ground "would you like a drink?" I look up and see Logan holding a cup out to me. I just looked up at him. "It punch, Zack doesn't allow alcohol in his apartment" "got that right" I took the glass and took a sip, and continued to hold my side.
I stayed by Zack and his three guy friends all night cause they made me feel safe, everything was going fine until my ex-friend from high school saw me. "Catherine? Is that you?" "um y-yeah" "nice to see you're going no were as I thought" "yeah yeah Patricia" "and single of course" "mhm" I took a sip of my punch and ignored her as usual. "Hey Patricia, you know what I heard was that she helped the monsters come out from the underground" "come on that was years ago" "So you still did it" I roll my eyes and continue to ignore her, "I also heard that your friends left you to go back under" "they hate it under there so no sorry" "mhm, then why do you cut yourself" I freeze and look over at Patricia. "Ok ok that enough" Zack stepped in and I glared at her "oh no Zack I would gladly see how in the hell she knows this" "everyone can see it under your sleeve" I knew I should have changed my shirt "Why are you even looking at my shirt?" "I don't need to look at your cheap old shirt, cause I already know it's from a thrift store" I growled and threw the rest of my punch on her. "Oops sorry, Patricia is that a new guchi top?" "Why you little.." A girl whispers in her ear and she smiles evilly.
I didn't like the look on her face like she just got information that not even I knew of. "Oh Cathrine, your an idiot, a nobody, so stupid" "what are you talking about?" "you ma'am are in love with a monster, but not any monster, a skeleton" Everyone was staring, the music stopped, everyone was looking at ME. "but you know the funny part is that he left you, they ALL left you, and just to go back home" I grip the plastic cup in my hand looking down wanting to kill her. "And this is all why you started cutting yourself" she smirked and grabbed my arm and pulled my sleeve down revealing marks going down my arm. My hand turned into a fist, I went to punch her tears rolling down my cheeks but a blue glow held my body in place as whispers filled the room.
