Four simple letters, one word, a million different meanings, and one of the most difficult questions mankind has to offer; what is love?
I sat there, gazing out the window of the train. Millions of questions sprung through my mind, but only one kept me thinking. I was in love once, or so I thought. I guess it wouldn't count after I cought him sneaking around with some skank. My mind wandered endlessly on the subject as I watched a droplet of rain slide down the window. All feelings of hurt, pain and anger ran through my body as I pushed the bad memories away.
I watched the stormy sky as a flash of lightning appeared. The sky roared and on came another flash, the train never stopping till it reached its destination. The destination being MA, Malibu Academy. It was my senior year and I couln't take being back home, what with everything reminding me of him. Of course this wasn't a sudden decision, I had been accepted a while ago due to my dancing history.
Dancing, I thought to myself. The only escape I had from the world. I love it more than anything the world has to offer me. This school has the best dance instructor in the whole state of California, or so I've heard. I'll be the judge of that.
Dancing is probably the only thing in the last two months thats actually kept me happy. The reason behind my unhappiness, you probably guessed it, and your most probably right. His name was Daniel.
Two years, Two whole years I wasted, thinking I was loved by someone I loved most. I hate him. He brought nothing but pain and misery in the end. He was just a cheater and a liar, and you know what? All boys are the same when it comes to love. They never fall for you, its just a cruel sick joke to them.
On came another strike of lightning, lighting up the sky. It looked like a million fire hydrants went off in the sky. Thunderstorms always had this way of soothing me. I can fall asleep right when I hear the thunder. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a high pitched voice coming from the speakers, "Attention all passengers, we will be arriving in downtown Malibu shortly, please stay seated at all times, thank you".
Does she expect everyone to jump out of the window? We obviously will stay seated.
I mentally groaned at the thought of being in a 5-18 mile radius from the school. I wish it was the beginning of summer again, before everything screwed up. Before the rest of the summer was spent thinking about Daniel. Just the perfect moments we shared together laughing. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the summer was..okay. I spent it with my best friend Jacey, eating chocolate and ice cream whilst going to the gym. I mean I wouldn't call it the worst summer ever..
Who am I kidding? Who goes to the gym in the summer? Losers who are getting over a break up, thats who. Just my luck to have a break up before what was suppose to be the best summer ever, right? I mean Jacey got me through most of it, I think our goodbye was more emotional then with my family. Its funny how I consider her my family, we can't live without each other. Guess I'll have to learn to, seeing that she won't be with me till she visits.
"Please be seated until intructed otherwise, we have arrived in Malibu. Once again, please stay seated, thank you."
God I can't wait to get out of this train so I can stop hearing her annoying ass voice. The rain poured harder as thunder once again roared in the grey sky. The train started to slow its pace and eventually haulted. I took my seatbelt off as I heard the lady speak again. "You may all leave in an ord..", was the last thing I heard before I bolted out the train.
----------
Is it me, or is this place just huge. I wandered aimlessly through crowd after crowd. Should I ask for directions? No, I don't want to look like a tourist..even though I basically am. I need to get to an exit, which is east..but where am I righ-
And just like that, I collided with a hard, heavy figure and stumbled backwards. Hands from this unknown idiot of a human found there way to my waist, catching me before I fell. Maybe there not an idiot, but he's sure human. I looked up at my savior and my cheeks instantly went red.
He was tall, way taller than me anyway, staring down at me- actually scratch that. He was scowling at me with the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen. His hair was short, but long enough to stay up at the front, and brown. I found everything about this guy mesmirising and I don't even know him.
"Watch where your going next time", his scowl was still on his face. Rude much? "Excuse me?" I retorted, snapping out of my daydream. I think the look on my face probably looked hilarious right now. I take that back, he is an idiot. He just saved me from falling and is being pissy about it. Why even save me at all?
I scowled back at him as he started studying my face..then my body. Unbelievable. "You heard me", he said staring right back into my eyes. He finally let go of my waist to pick up his bags which fell from his hands. Suddently, everything I found attractive about him completely left my mind.
"Honestly, the only thing I heard was you being a prick, why don't you watch the attitude", I scrunched my nose up at him and watched as he looked up from the floor to look at me, smirking. "I'm not the one casually bumping into people I don't know, and for the record, I was turning around when you bumped into me."
I clenched my teeth at that. Just who does this guy think he is? "I'm not the one giving attitude to people I don't know. I was going to say sorry but just looking at you makes me want to vomit", I smiled up at him, just for effect. For a second, his nose flared and the satisfaction of hurting his ego crept through me. His face relaxed as he got up, and that annoying smirk of his reappeared on his face. "Yeah well, your not to pleasing to look at either sweetheart." With that, he walked the oppisite way leaving my jaw dropped to the floor. My eyes burned to his back as he walked away like this argument had never even happened.
What a jerk.
