((I'm gonna play Evra, too.))
7.15am


The alarm clock started screeching loudly. A cream-colored hand reached out from under the duvet, and smacked the space next to it, then the other side, before finally hitting the snooze button. Robyn West sat up with a sigh, stretching hard. All six arms reached up to the ceiling, then relaxed. She looked around her room, then jamp out of bed smoothly, grabbing up a shirt and a pair of trousers. She went into the bathroom, humming lightly, and washed. She looked in the mirror, and ran two arms through her hair, pulling it into a ponytail with two arms, brushing her teeth with another arm, and buttoning up her shirt with two more. Her sixth arm was busy rooting around in a small basket for her mascara. Finally stepping out the bathroom she slipped on a pair of sneakers, grabbed her satchel and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Dad." she said, pouring herself a cup of coffee and waving at him absentmindedly. He looked up from his own coffee.
"Hey honey. What's with the getup?"
"Uh, School, Dad."
"Ah, shit. I'm sorry, Bobbi."
"S'okay." she said, downing the last of the coffee. She smiled at him, gave him a brief three-armed hug, and walked out. She pulled on her biker jacket. It was 45 degree heat, and the jacket could be uncomfortable, but it hid her extra arms. Which saved her the trouble that driving through the small town she lived next to caused. In the last town they had lived in, it had been a game to throw stones at her and try to hit her arms. It had been okay, she could cvatch them all, but when they started throwing glass, that hurt. So she wore the jacket until she got within the boundaries of the school. Once she got there, it was okay to take off her coat and walk around looking like a Hindu goddess.

She pulled into the parking lot, cutting off the roaring motorbike engine with a click and walking over to where her best friend, Lorraine Sanchez stood grinning. Lorraine was a shapeshifter, sort of. She had split personality syndrome, which tied into her freakishness. It wasn't just her personality that changed, it was her entire body.
