My Moon by S. D. A. (a court of thorns and roses ebook free .txt) 📖

always,always got into trouble. I am sixteen years old, I love to sing and ice-skate, and I don't have many friends. I've been cursed, and I can do things no one else can. I'm both scared and scarey.
Molly looked, well, mollified."No, I'm sorry I haven't. But, Ella, didn't you see three newbies running down the hall?" She turned to look at me quickly and wink at Ella. The bed jiggled a little,Ella's voice came from above,"Yeah, this girl you described, she was tall and had blue eyes, she just passed me, saying 'Excuse us.' It sounded like she was in a hurry." I could see Molly turn towards the rat. "She was coming this way, so your friends must've gone the other way. Sorry, good luck finding them." It seemed like he was out of breath, "Thank you very much." His feet disappeared as he ran off. Molly quickly closed and locked the door. A sigh came from the closet. Hana started laughing at my side as she came up to rest her head on my shoulder. All five of us started laughing.
"Friend of yours?" Ella, who had kind green eyes and striking red hair, asked. "Sorta like that..." The three of us muttered once we came out of hiding. Molly was a dirty blonde with almost the same colored eyes as Ella. "He seems to like you." She teased us after we talked a little bit.Homeroom would start soon. Gran would bring my luggage, and after school Han and I would go shopping, she had saved up a lot of money for this. How she got it, I don't know, and I don't want to be a prying friend. But this was exciting.
"Well, Tristian doesn't like me that much. He doesn't know that I threw a rock at him, though, he thinks Lupin or Hana did that. I don't know why he doesn't like me..." I explained. My hair was in a braid, with my bangs in my eyes, it was comfortable, the room was warm for Seattle weather. It was nice getting to know Molly and Ella like I had with Hana. Next was Lupin... but I was willing to try to get to know Tristian, even if he was a jerk.
The school bell rang and all five of us left, Tristian in the back of my head, to get to Ms.Todd's room. Ella and Molly had Mr.Gander, down the hall from us. Lupin had Ms.Todd with us, too, so it was easy for all three of us. Tristian wasn't there though. It was just the three of us, and it felt good. So far, the day was going well, until P.E. that is...
High Scool VS Me

Hana and I had four classes together. We had homeroom, Chemistry, Science, Mythology, and Trigometry. Lupin had all of the classes but one with me, The Arts. But all three of us had P.E. together.
Mrs.Kate and Mr.Thompson, the coaches, wanted to start off with dodge ball for a first day activity. We'd be starting volleyball next week. Woo, team spirit, oh yeah. Ever since homeroom, my sarcasm bar has been way up there. But I was glad about the fitness program here, I could show them what I could do. At my old school, I had to restrain my muscles, because girls were supposed to be slow and I was weird for my flexibility and speed.
All of us had to do the mile, which everyone grumbled about, except for Lupin and me. We were pumped, I wanted to stretch, he wanted to run. Hana was different, she could go fast but she was a flying type. Dodgeball was enough for both of my friends could dodge swiftly. I laughed every time I dodged one,since I was used to this since young. Bitch, Devil, Witch, Disgrace. I ran away from those names, that cruel life. This was a different time and place. And dogeball. Not names.
I wasn't about to run this time. So when I saw what my team was up against, I laughed. But my laughter was short when the jock that hit on me that morning appeared with his buddies. Tristian followed them, showing up for class late.
Mrs.Kate picked me girls' captain. I pointed at each girl, and they said their names, smiling towards me. I smiled at them and said confidently, "Let's show these guys what we're made of! I know that Coach Kate will treat us to something if we beat them, if we do well. So lets have fun and try to win this?" I put my hand out, smiling. Han put hers on top, and one by one the girls cheered and added their's. Game on.
Lupin was good. I wasn't surprised but his speed took my breath away. He was almost as fast as me! I was too fast for them, though. The jocks didn't notice me at first, until I threw a ball at one of Burn's minions with too much force. He fell to the ground with an oomf and shook himself off. This guy was the one that kicked me. I turned my back to him, and barely missed a dodgeball as soon as I did. I turned to see Burns glaring at me.
"Hey, sweet cheeks. Miss me?" he hissed. I looked at him calmly a ball in my hand that felt light as a feather. I turned from him, letting my ball drop. Like lightning, I struck before one blow could hit me, holding the ball I 'dropped'. The ball I held, smacked him across the face as I caught the ball about to hit mine. I smirked at him as he looked up at me with a disgusted look. I wanted to smack him, with my own hand.
Tristian ran up to Burns, talking to him, helping him up with his forearm. Burns nodded towards me, and I felt his eyes as I walked away. I caught another ball behind my back, it was too easy to predict. The ball flew out of my hand as I whipped my arm back, and hit the boy Corey, who called me the Witch. I knew him in Middle school. Wiping my hands on my pants I took up another ball. Time was flying and there were four people left on each side.
Hana, two girls named Jaz and Tabitha, and me on our side. On the other, Tristian, Lupin, and two of Burn's hench men, Greg and Steve. It was well matched except that after a while, after Hana struck out Tristian and me Lupin, Jaz and Tabitha got wiped out. All that was left was me and the two henchmen. All the girls were rooting for me, their captain. All the guys picked sides, Greg's or Steve's. I turned to Mrs.Kate, "Can I use flips, like front flips?" She shrugged, "Don't hurt yourself."
The guys groaned, but smirked once I got back. My braid swung like a whip behind me. Boy did they underestimate me. I laughed as they took up a ball, I just kept laughing and that made them mad. Temper,temper,temper.... I scolded mentally. I laughed on the outside, laughing at how I could barely hold mine in.
"You think you can beat us, witch? I'd like to see you try. Howabout we make a deal?" Steve seemed so confident. "If we win, you serve us as a maid for a month, all of us."
"And if I win, it's going to get a whole lot worse." It was cruel, but they didn't seem to notice. They were working up a strategy. To bad I could hear everything---I yawned, trying to look disinterested. Their plan was good, I didn't want to hurt their feelings. I wanted to alot. I also knew what they wanted from me.
I personally don't think I'm pretty at all, so why do guys like to treat me like I'm some sort of model than a witch? Why did girls get jealous of me, and boys treat my like I was theirs? Makes no sense. Feeling that way made me want to win, make them see the real me. I didn't want them to be scared though. I sighed in yearning.
"Done daydreaming princess? Or are you gonna forfeit?" they joked, half hopeful.
I looked at my nails, plain but nicely filed. I have to thank Molly after I won the match.
"In your dreams. I'll finish this now." I said, my voice rising. I loved doing this, showing off a little. I rounded off to the side, making a split. I grabbed a ball, and threw it at Steve. He was a second too late. Where he reached out, was air, the ball on the ground al-ready. One down.
"Hey, Greg, you look ticked there. Cool down." I said, bouncing the ball to let it roll away. Steve patted his shoulder. He looked at me and smiled, which drove a knife in my head. I knew what happened next. The ball. I leaped into a handstand, watching the ball just slide past me. Greg cursed.
I back flipped to land on my feet. I'm glad I borrowed sweats. Another thank you; towards Ella. I grabbed a dodgeball from where I stood. "This is for calling me a witch and kicking my spine." I smiled. "Thanks by the way, the cricks are gone now." My arm shot off, the ball sliding off my fingertips. It flew passed his face, a dazzed expression on his face.
I called out, "I quit. You win, good game." With a turn, I left everyone speechless in the gym, my hair now hanging loosely, bangs and all. It covered my face, which I was grateful. My body ached all over, remembering the pain that was still there. The ceremony had been tough, even in soft chairs. Now this.
My legs felt like knives as I ran out to the courtyard. The dark curtain around me swayed. It was lunch time, so no one could bother me. I was thankful to Lu and Han. I hoped they wouldn't tell anyone, even after I had quickly told them not to, without an explaination.
Running finally started to hurt me. Limping in the courtyard, I went to the place Molly told me about. The secret spring in the hedge that only her and Ella knew about. O Dea had a uniform, so I tucked mine under my arm as I took off the gym clothes.
The water on my skin felt wonderful. My skin, pale and witchy was reflected off the water, showing bruises. They were everywhere. Blood even colored the water when I sank deeper, the cut on my cheek still healing. It needed attention. It stung as hot as an iron.
I sung a poem I had once heard, "Just a sunny sky, and in that sky, there is a rainbow that shows our love..." I loved the tale of the Water Maiden falling in love with the Wind spirit. It eased my heart that they were together. My troubles from gym slipped away with the water, the wind ruffled my newly pulled up hair. The ribbon fell away
