“Hey Onyx!” shouted Silvia, as I was tossing my books into my messy locker. “Onyx can you believe it?”
“What did you get detentions on the first day?” I asked with enthusiasm going to lunch without tripping.
“No I’ve got a date with the hottest guy in school. David Ark!” squealed Silvia.
“That’s great for you, but I wish you got detention too.” I said with a sigh.
“What did you do now?” asked Silvia.
“Nothing! All I did was chew gum then stick it in Matt Wireler’s hair.”
As Silvia and I walked down the hall I could hear laugh and whispered about me just because I was Goth.
“It’s great to be back.” Silvia said with a sigh grabbing David’s arm.
“Great.” I said sarcastically but no one caught on.
From behind me I could hear a very familiar voice say “Freak show where are you going to eat lunch? A cemetery?”
“Well Matt where ever it is it would be a cliff to push you and Jack off of.”
“I know you want me so just say It.” replied Matt.
“Like I would ever want to go out with a stuck up, spoiled rotten, Hot headed, rich kid like you.”
I look back at Matt to see his reaction but all I saw was a smile on his perfect face. Was it something I said or more gossip? Gossip.
As Silvia, David, and I walked to lunch I felt a hand fall on my shoulder and I was dragged into the principal’s office. When I finally was able to turn around I saw an angry Mr. Schrener that had a new shade of red. “What did I do to deserve this punishment?” I snapped
Mr. Schrener didn’t say anything to me just because what I did to Matt. When I turn to leave I could feel that Mr. Schrener was grabbing my arm and spun me around and sat me in the chair next to him.
“Why did you stick gum in Matt’s hair and then cut it off and then stuck it in his mouth?” Asked Mr. Schrener with sigh (which turned him back to his tan, old self).
“I didn’t stick it in his mouth stuck it in his locker and then took a piece of and stuck it in his textbook!” I objected.
“What are we going to do with you Onyx? Do you like coming in everyday? Don’t answer that.” said Mr. Schrener.
Minutes pasted until Silvia came to bail me out and join her for lunch.
Then it finally was 8th period when I heard Matt say concerned, “Onyx when was the last time you sleep? 3 years ago?”
“Why would you care? You don’t like me remember.” I whispered with a yawn. Suddenly the intercom came on and said, “Sorry to interrupt Miss Coyal but
Onus Mason is wanted in the office. Her older brother got in a horrible accident and needs her there in the ambulance.”
“Do you mean Onyx Mason?”Asked Miss Coyal. “Yea whatever”
The whole class was looking at me in fear that Josh is hurt and started to gossip as I rushed out of the room with my face full of a crimson red.
When my family got home from the hospital it turned out that Josh got ran over by a car speeding down the road and ended up with a broken arm and would be out in just a week if he didn’t do anything harsh that included chores, and guess who gets those. That’s right I did and on top of that I had to get a job to help pay the bill off.
I got a job as a secretary person and couldn’t be myself as in a gothic teen and can’t find who I am or what I’m going to be.
“Onyx why are you being such a jerk to this young man?” asked Ashley Madaiamo.
“Hardly, this is Matt Wireler and his father owns Ingleside’s land so he owns your yard and he is a…”
“Now, now don’t be mean.”
When I got home I started writing to my grandma and wrote: Hey Nana,
Can you believe that you’re turning 81 next week? I can’t so I just wanted to say Happy 50th birthday and I wanted to know if you still believe in vampires.
See you soon,
Onyx.

He didn't seem... mad. Like he should have been. Like he had every right to be.
He stopped maybe a meter away from me. I glanced up, and saw the same look of indecision I had seen on his face the first day.
I had no idea what I was supposed to do. My life is not a perfect little story where happy endings are mandatory.
I didn't expect myself to sink to the floor against the wall and begin crying. There just weren't words to say what I wanted to.
I didn't expect him to sit in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders. He forced me to to look up at him, and he said, "Tell me."

The Man With No Eyes Collection (2): User
It works fast like a drug, when it’s shot through my veins,
And it lights up my fire, when it reaches my brains,
Irresistible tickle, in the depths of my chest,
I dissolve into ashes, and forget all the rest.
If you make my heart dance, I will dance in your hand,
Give me my one desire, I’ll be at your command,
Constant rushes of sugar, swirling colors and light,
There’ll be no troubled sleep, for this body tonight.
This one is short and sweet, sung from the perspective of someone who's willingly being taken advantage of, as long as he gets what he wants. Hence the double meaning of the title "User," which could refer to to an addict, or someone literally "using" another person for their own gain.

My brain is nowhere, my eyes are hungry,
Devouring the warm orange sky.
It slides down my throat like soup, and pools into my soul.
I skip mindlessly over the hay, with bits of straw kicked up in my stride,
Like a destructive beast, only unknowing.
My dance is like the leaves.
Red- my pace quickens into a mad, hot dash.
Orange- my footsteps slow into a rhythmic tango.
Yellow- I swirl lazily, as if lovestruck.
The colors of fire, burning at different tempos.
The colors of emotion, striking the heart under the skin.
The colors of death, leaving with a few last powerful words.
Fall, without regret, having lived your best life,
And dance toward the sunset with high spirits!

we will be the faces in the textbooks dog-eared and torn we will be immortal until the day we are discarded and replaced with new editions or perhaps the next technology once reading becomes obsolete and society falls into virtual illiteracy
with luck we will be remembered still projected onto some cutting edge device that will let them see us in a million dimensions or hear our voices saying things we never said until the students are lulled to sleep by the languid lectures and their heads slump onto the desks that once held the tattered textbooks

In the darkness,
No one is here for me.
I feel lonely,
And my feet tremble.
The grads have gone,
Some my closest friends...
Remember the times that we had?
We let them slip by when things got bad.
Remember the times...
When we shared a sno-cone
When we cried together
When we laughed together
When we jumped in the pool
All in unison.
It's funny how I feel so much
But I cannot say a word.
I will remember you.
You will always be in my heart.
You have given me so many memories
To last.
You are a handprint on my heart.
It cannot be erased.
You motivate me.
You are what I can do today.
You are an amazing person.
You are what I am today.
All that I am today is because of you.
You will never leave my heart,
Even if you do leave me in life.
No one is here for me.

And my feet tremble.
