The Beast

Chapter 2

Its 11 PM  and all the lights are off in the Portman household. Well except for the dim lighting in Amelia's room and the sound of her typing away on her laptop. She whispers the words as she types, sometimes scrunching up her forehead when she writes something that doesn't sound good. 

"Her eyes lightened up when she saw him waiting next to the tree and put her hand on her stomach because of the butterflies in her stomach." Amelia smiles and continues typing, "He was on his phone, not paying attention to the world around him not aware that she too was ignoring the world around her as she looked at him." 

Amelia squeals in delight and grabs her phone to text Meghan. 

To MegCrazyPants

I just wrote the best line ever YOU HAVE TO READ IT TOMORROW!!!! 

Its sent along with the previous 10 texts she sent that night, unresponded of course. 

She yawns and closes her laptop. Amelia puts it aside and lays down on her bed, looking up at the glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. She mentally traces them and closes her eyes, falling into a deep sleep. 

"I'm tired." Amelia complains, nuzzling her face into Meghan's shoulder. 

"That's what you get for staying up until 11." Meg says.

"Well I have to complete this story soon and I wanted to." 

"Hey guys!" Symone greets the two and sits on the bench across from them. 

"I need sleep." Amelia grumbles with a yawn. Symone chuckles and takes out a magazine full of pictures of dresses. 

"Whats this?" Meghan questions. 

"I noticed that you two haven't chosen out prom dresses yet so I brought this from home. My sister gave me a basket load of magazines for dresses." 

Amelia takes the magazine and flips through it. 

"So have you guys found any dates yet?" Symone asks. 

"Prom is a month and a half away. I'm more worried about the next episode for Vampire Diaries." Meghan says. 

"Its nice to plan ahead." Symone says, shrugging. 

Amelia smiles politely and puts the magazine aside, "How are you Symone?" 

"Uh good I guess." 

Amelia nods, unconvinced and takes out her book. 

"I should probably go. James is waiting for me in the lunch room." Symone stands up and waves goodbye. 

"Symone and James are having a falling out." Amelia tells Meg once Symone is gone.

"Really? How do you know?" Meg asks, completely surprised. 

"I saw them arguing in the history room. James seemed angry and Symone looked like she was about to cry." 

"What were they arguing about?" Meghan asks.

"I only passed by and I guess the argument went to a point where James started cursing." Amelia tells her. 

Meghan nods with a sad look on her face. Amelia understood because James is a good guy and brings the best out of Symone. 

Suddenly they hear screaming, not not screams of fear but screams of a bunch of girls fawning over some guy. Yep, that kind. 

"I'm not even going to turn around." Amelia mutters.
