I pick brains over beauty...

I woke up to the rays of the sun shining down on my pallid skin. Well, okay, I didn't wake up. I don't sleep. But anyway. The white hot light of the sun was shining down on my pallid skin. Pallid was an understatement. I was pale to the extreme. So pale you could almost see down to my bones. Hell, in some places, you could. But that was normal. All my friends were pale. We weren't trying to start a trend or anything, we just all happened to be insanely pale. I sat up and scratched at my luxurious hair. Well, maybe it wasn't that luxurious. Maybe it was falling out... but hey! A girl can dream, can't she? Well... not if she doesn't sleep.........Anyway! I scratched at my thinning hair and grimaced when even more came away. I could hear my friends moaning and getting to their feet. Well for Racheal it was only foot. I looked around and sighed. Preparing for another long, boring day, I pulled on my best tattered jeans and favorite worn t-shirt. Not that they were particularly what I wanted to wear but they were the best for shambling around the city all day. Okay, they weren't great for that. They were really just all I had. Come to think of it, I had no idea where the rest of my clothes were. Come to think of it, where was I? Where did I live? Oh well, not that important, given my current status. Once my clothes were on I hobbled over to the door that my friends were gathered around. Ashley began to bash her head against the door. I rolled my eyes at her. That was not how you got into a building for food. Not that I particularly knew how to but I knew that wasn't it.
