Can you tell me a story? Any kind of story, where the bad guy wins, but the good guy is defeated. It never seems to happen; the good guy always finds a way to pull through, to get away from disaster, save the beautiful girl, and who could forget they live happily ever after! The typical good guy is always brave, valiant, and drop dead gorgeous, goes the same for the heroines. Now turning your eyes to a different stage of the story, yes that’s right the typical bad guy. It seems the only time the bad guy looks good is when he’s dead. No one ever makes the bad look good. It’s either; falling off a cliff, slain by the hero, or in some cases the villain turns good and befriends the hero. Now, here’s an interesting tail for all you who have been brain washed by all that goody goody nonsense. It’s about a girl who meets an interesting boy, who rules over a county full of misfits. In this country if you kiss someone your atomically are engaged. When May arrives in this country she is kissed by the prince, but she has no intention of being a bride.

It was a sunny day like any other, May was sitting on the porch waiting for the party that would never happen, and for her friends that would never come. This day was meant to be special, it was meant to be her day. She called them over and over again and only got the dull tone of their answering machines. They all said they would come, everyday they said how much fun they would have. And only the eco of the answering machines ran through her head. May was too depressed to leave any messages, but still she tried to reach them. Nothing, she could feel nothing.

Her parents were out of town on business and would not be back for two weeks. May was completely alone. She picked up a cupcake her parents had left for an extra snack. May could hear the smashing cupcake as it hit the hallow floor of the trashcan. And as she walked away her mothers words filled her “We trust you dear don’t let us down. What’s with that face? Cheer up bunny!! Dear it’ll only be for two weeks and your turning 16 tomorrow. You’ll be surrounded by all your friends. You’ll be having so much fun you’ll forget all about us. And when we get back, we’ll go to the car dealer and get you rolling! Love yah hun see ya,” her mom was right about one thing she did turn 16 today.  May walked into the kitchen and pulled out a lighter. She carefully lit the 16 birthday candles. Even if her friends were not there and her parents were gone, she was still going to make the best of this situation. After all she was 16 and it was time for her to become a woman. May wiped away all the makeup mixed tears that had left two black lines down her face.

The cake was wonderful; her parents had ordered it out of a catalog. It stood about tree round layers tall, each layer smaller than the last, covered in ocean blue icing that was so sweet that it tickled your tongue with every bite. A waterfall of candy seashells starting at the top with small little clam ones to the bottom were they were as big as an oyster. Each layer with a different flavor at the base marble in the middle strawberry and at the top wight chocolate. It was so perfect when May first saw it, she felt like she didn’t deserve to eat it.

May knew that she had to blow out the candles soon or there would be too much wax on the cake. It would destroy the picture of perfectection that had been achieved when this cake was first seen on the door step on the doorstep. She wouldn’t allow herself to ruin it.

She thought for a moment that lasted more than several moments. May’s head sprang up she knew at that instant exactly what it was she wanted. Since no one was there, they couldn’t hear the wish, so it will still be a secret if she said it out loud. “I want to get away take me far away. Were no one will ever want to leave me alone, were I’d be cherished and loved. A place that once I get there never want to leave because it’s so wonderful and beautiful that my heart would longer be walled up, but it would feel as though it belonged to the land. So please just this once let my wish come true!!!”  She wept in a soft way that every word would be understood.

Tears started falling from her face and hit the floor as she collapsed and curled up into a ball. As the clock ticked, with every second that past, May waited for something   happen. Still nothing, “Why? Am I that alone? Does anyone care about me enough to grant a signal wish? Am I that hopeless?” She said as she walked back to her room. It was only 1:00pm but, May really didn’t feel very lively. She felt exhausted and tired she wanted to go to sleep and never wake up. Just sleep, because when she was sleeping May would be able to escape her life. If only for a few hours it really didn’t matter to her. It was just time to get away from everything.  Something she could escape to. Her eyes fell slightly shut as her head hit the pillow, the room seemed to disappear and all that surrounded her was the mountainous bed and sweet dreams.

She woke up in the evening (around 12:00am) and she desperately reached for the light switch. May found to her disappointment, that she was still in the same place she had fallen asleep. It had been such a long day; May was so stressed that she couldn’t fall back asleep. Even if May was tired the room was way to hot to sleep in anyway. So May decided she would go for a walk. She knew she shouldn’t but she didn’t care. May knew a safe rout to the park, since it was right next door. “The street lamps should be on, they always are”, she thought as she got dressed. She was about to put on makeup but, she knew no one should be out this late. If someone was there and they were one of those sickos, then it would be better if she didn’t look so pretty. Of course though she thought of the cutest boy in school (Bobby Macintyre) walking by the park and seeing her makeupless but, really what were the chances of that. Still she wiped out her makeup bag and started to make herself beautiful. She couldn’t were just anything now; it would have to be the perfect outfit. May’s thought of Bobby being at the park (and for the first time in 8 years, actually notice her) ran through her mind. She could almost hear him say “Were have you been all my life”, with a pause for an answer.

   “Right here in front of you, why is there something you want to ask me?” May was so caught up in her fantasy that she didn’t even notice that she had already left the house.  She was fantasy walking, yes she was walking strait for the park.

“Would you go out with me, May” the imaginary Bobby said in a low romantic way.

If she had been paying more attention, she would have noticed a young man about her age sitting the bench beside her.

“Yes! Yes! Of course I’ll go out with you”, said May out loud not realizing she had. She was unaware of anything she had just done.

“Well I didn’t know I was that handsome but I’m sorry do I know you? Hey!  Are you even paying attention to me?” The young man said as he walked up to May and shook her arm.

“Hey! Hey! Are you all right, you don’t look so good”, he said again shaking her arm.

 May finally came back from la la land and was really shocked that this guy who she never met was touching her. “Excuse me, but do I know you?” She said. “Anyway can you tell me how I got here? Your not one of those strange people who go around picking girls off the street...are you?” She looked at him in a discussed way, when she realized this person was a kid. “Really you’re much too young to be committing a kidnapping, or murder, or some other mutilating illegal act.” May tried to sound calm but her shivering disposition could tell any one that she was dead scared. As the figure approached she trembled and began slowly stepping back, but to no effect the figure was moving closer exceedingly faster than she could back away. May let out a large cry into the wind “Soooo this is how it all ends, at the hands of some crazy psychopath! I think NOT!! I May Delouse Traull will not have it end this way!” she shouted as she rushed towards the figure in a one against hundred kind of rage. The figure seized her and hugged her tightly.

“That’s a nice way to greet someone. After waking you up from sleep walking,” said the figure. “Just calm down I understand you’re frightened, but really do I look that scary” he said as he walked under a street lamp and looked up at her, “Well do I?”

May looked up and in shock answered him without thinking “No you don’t look scary at all in fact you look an awful lot like Bobby Macintyre.” She said with a shaky voice, “Please tell it’s just a coincidence, and you’re really just some stranger with absolutely no clue who I am!” The figure looked up at her strangely.

“You know who I am?” he said in a very curious way as he once again began to advance towards her. The look on May’s face was like someone had hit her with a brick. Not only is he Bobby the guy I’ve crushed on for god knows how long, and now I find out he doesn’t even know I exist, That’s it’s definitely the worst day of my life!! She thought as her knees buckled underneath her, she stared up at the sky and muttered, “ I hope you’re happy”.

“ Um…did I miss something? Because I was sure no one remembered me, I went through great lengths to make sure no one did! And here you a strange girl remembers me! This is something that must be spoken about with the elders! It must be!” He looked down at her and put a tablet on her tongue, “swallow it!” He commanded as the girl looked up at him a tear rolled down her cheek. She swallowed the pill and fell into a haze.
