You know when the only thing you want to be when you grow up, is dead? When your in such a dark place, a place where nobody understands you. You know the feeling of being worthless? If not, there will come a day when you to, experience the feeling. We live In a world of sin. Nobody truly understands the pain a person can go through, that is, until they finely snap.
Every person has a limit. No one is a saint. No body is perfect, even if they believe they are, their not. We all were brought into the world as sinners. Most of us often die because a sin that had been committed. A small percentage of the human race dies of old age. People these days don't respect a life as much as they should.
Murder. Sickness. Anorexia Drugs Organ failure. Car accidents. Suicide.
When will it ever end? A life is nothing but space taken on this earth. Everyday someone gets killed, by accident or purposely. People kill to get the smallest of material things. But they don't realise that, those things won't be taken with them the day they die, but God will be the one to judge.
We all are born sinners. Everybody has a limit. We fail God daily yet ask for forgiveness. People these days don't believe in such a thing as forgiveness. We judge when a man is weak, only to realise that it wasn't weakness, he was just sad. People get fed up with the world, wanted out of it. The world breaks down all the good in a person, yet expects them to remain the same. How can you wound a animal and ask it to run the same? How can you shoot a dear, then feel sorry for it then take it to the vet? People don't understand that sometimes their to late. You expect a child that was abused to act normal when a adult. Being pressured into being perfect, can make a person lose sanity.
We live in a world of judgement and expectations. Why? Why be the one to judge? Why does one judge when that job was already taken by God?
Two girls wanting to die, not apart but together concurring the world. Cheating life as we know it. Is it fair to take two life's with one shot? Is it fair to be hurt so badly that you want to end your own life? Both life's has been taken away from them
In more ways than one.
No ones POV
As she walked down the hallways, she kept her head down in shame. Society was always the one to blame. All she could hear was the laughter that filled the halls. All the fingers pointed at her. What did she do?
She could feel the tears start to form in her green orbs. What has she ever done to deserve this. She was always nice, never had any complaints; what could she possible have done wrong? As she walked down the hallways that were telling her lies, she couldn't help but start to cry. She didn't fit in, she never did. She was lost in a world that didn't want her ; in fact she lost herself. She lost herself and it seems she can't find her way back. She's trapped in her thoughts, that only spoke badly about her. She could never understand why people could be so cruel. How can a person hate on another? How can a person wish death upon another living human being? Everyone is different but it seems , difference is wrong in the world that we know all to well. When someone isn't the same as the rest, they find abnormal.
This girl, who was only 16 years old, was the smartest in the school. She was beautiful, yet she never believed so. She always believed that she was never meant to be here, born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. But somehow society made her believe that she was a mistake to this world. She was constantly bullied because of her difference. As if home wasn't bad enough. Her family believed that she was the black sheep. She didn't belong, they still wonder why she's this way. Honestly, she barely knows herself. She lost herself a long time ago, it's funny how much a person can hide from the ones you love. This girl who was suicidal, found no happiness in the thing we call life. She wasn't living anymore, she barely got through the day. She was just surviving, that's all that she could do in this life who made her feel only hurt.
As the days went by, she found more reason to leave. But the thing holding her back was the people she loves. What would they say? How would they feel? She always cared about everyone's happiness but her own. Every time she takes that platinum blade from her jewelry box, she reminds herself that she's still alive. She doesn't even know what pain feels like anymore, it has become a habit, a addiction and a new way of living. She doesn't know better. Someone who once was gods gift from above was now a tragedy send from hell. Her faith has vanished, her hope had faded into nothing, her heart had darkened but most importantly ; she could trust anyone anymore,not even herself.
There was another girl, who was busy making her way to school. She to, was only 16 years old. She was broken, she was alone. She truly was, she always kept to herself. She wasn't the smartest, but she's seen things that you might never see, she felt things that you might never feel. She was the definition of different.
She was popular, but those people never really knew her. They never saw the girl cry behind closed doors. They never saw her true side. She always wore a smile for the world to see, but deep down, she was always frowning. It shows that the outside can hide what's in the inside. She felt unwanted,worthless and useless, yet everyone wanted her. How?
She grew up with a absent father. A mother who never has time, she barely makes it home once a week. This girl felt neglected. She felt like the world would be better off without her. You want to know a secret? This girl starves herself, she would barely eat once a week. She thought that if she was perfect, her parents would want her. She had never been so wrong. Her father pushed her away every time she tried to get close. Her mother would ignore her whenever she tried to make convocation. What she doesn't know, they will never change. A zebra never loses its stripes.
How would you react when a person you grew to hate, suddenly pops up into your life. The person that pushed you away, wanting nothing to do with you.... The person who would tell his friends he had no children, no one to care for. Oh how he lied through his teeth. He always pretended she never existed. He always made her feel unwanted and unloved. Its all his fault that she hates herself. It's all his fault that she barely eats. It was all his fault, if only he knew what he had done to his little girl.
As the girl walked into the hallways, she bumped into someone who was going to change her life forever. They looked into each others watery eyes.

Hello there.
I've put off reviewing this for a while now, because it's such a delicate topic to broach. While I don't entirely agree with the philosophical points here (probably because I used to), there's no denying that you've employed some excellent techniques here.
Since nitpicks are mostly taken care of, I'l skip on to fundamentals. You've got some excellent use of repetitive effect going on here, particularly in the beginning. The way you begin and structure your sentences creates that effect perfectly. The only thing I have to tell you is to think of the intensity of each phrase. When I read this, I found a little voice speaking to me in my head. You can build upon that.
One idea I have for you is to give a brief thought from the surrounding people that act so maliciously to Tasha and Megan. It's kind of uncomfortable to see them so willingly portrayed as villains, when you've said in the introduction, "We are all born sinners. Everybody has a limit." Didn't they have their own stories to tell? Stories that, if not elaborated, could at least be hinted at? It almost sounds hypocritical to judge characters when the readers know so little about them. But that's purely a personal philosophy.
And hey. The world isn't all terrible, nor all the same. Heroes are numerous and flawed, and villains are varied and profound. I hope you might try to mention that in later chapters.
On the topic of nitpicks, I have just one. "A small percentage of the human race dies of old age." Would you mind giving that a bit more emphasis? It has the potential to give the reader a nice, depressing shock.
Well, that's all I have to say. Sorry if I've offended you or insulted you in any way, it's just my personal thought on your piece. With that said, this piece is extremely well-written (grammar issues aside). I look forward to seeing how this story develops. Cheers.

Don't capitalize the I in, in at the beginning. (We live in a world....)
If your going to put periods after the words, make sure you follow it through. (Murder. Sickness. Anorexia. Drugs. Organ failure. Car accidents. Suicide.)Here.
Watch your words. (to late.) - (too late.)
Here. (when a adult.) Finish it and correct it. (when an adult is around.) or something like that.
Do you mean conquering the world? If so then - (together, conquering the world.)
Okay, sorry for seeming harsh at the top. I saw this when I started reading and just wrote them down. Anyway, now that the top part is over I'll continue to read but I want you to know what I think. I believe this is going really good and the summary has me very interested in reading more, learning, questioning how the girls got there. So I'm going to continue reading.
Punctuation - Make sure to use a question mark.
( all to well.) Either too well or so well.
(they find abnormal.) They find what abnormal? (they find them abnormal.)
( But somehow ) This sentence would be better without starting with But.
(a addiction) - (an addiction)
(send from hell.) Scent from hell.
- (importantly; she couldn't trust anyone anymore, not even herself.)
( convocation.) - (conversation)
(doesn't know, they will never change.) Instead of a comma use a semi-colon.
( you.... ) Why so many periods?
I like it, I really do. I see it going far to be honest with you. Just, take out the No Ones POV because this whole thing seems more like a summary/prologue than anything, so I think you should keep it that way.
This, I have a feeling it will make me cry or something. It's so....heartfelt. You should continue working on this. Oh and make sure you use your spaces, I found some spots that need a space.
Okay, well I'm done I guess. This is really good, trust me.

Oh and I found two more things. The first like where you have your, change that to you're. And in that same paragraph to should be too.
