The Fairy Tale lies

Fairy Friend

When it was time for lunch I walked down a hall with Christine, my new friend. "What was it like in Miami?" She asks curiously. "well." I start off, "it was very very hot but beautiful too! The beaches were wonderful and every day was the perfect day to stroll around in the sand." I finish. "wow! It must have been awesome there! Here, in California, it's not as cool as Miami!" When we arrived to the doors I took a deep breath knowing that all the kids that were on the bus this morning would remember me. I walk inside and no one pointed a finger. No one stared or laughed. It was a loud noisy kinda dirty cafeteria but I liked it better than the one in Miami. I see kids playing with their phones, hiding it under the table while their friends crowded around him. I didn't know how noisy high school could be! "Ya i know what your thinking. Your thinking that Welford High School isn't what you thought it'd be." Christine said. "Its not!" I reply. She frowned at me. "it's better than I had imagined." I say. She smiled. "Well I'm glad you like it!" She said cheerfully. Her Hazel hair flew past her face while she ran to the cafeteria line. I followed. "What's on the menu?" I ask hungrily as we move along the line. "cheesey bread sticks, pizza, cheese burgers, and salad." she said. "ok. hmmmmm." I say as I think about what I should choose. I grab a tray and the salad. I grab a bag of croutons, some Italian dressing, and cheese. I pay the lady my $3.50 and move along. I look around for Christine and find her waving her hand up in the air and calling my name. I walk to her table and look out the window on the door. I saw that fairy looking girl again. "is she following me?" I say aloud not knowing that I did. Christine looks at me, confused, and asks "who?" I sigh. I once again made a fool out of myself. "Ok." I say. "promise not to tell anyone what I'm 'bout to tell you" I say very desperate. "I promise." she said very, well, promising. "well....when I was on the bus earlier today I saw a girl. But it wasn't any ordinary girl. She was a fairy. And right now I just saw her again at that window over there." I say as I point to the window. Her face turned as in her life was in danger. She chuckled nervously. "ma-maybe it's just your imagination." she said very very weirdly. I Take a bite out of my salad and stare at her. "Are you hiding something from me?" I ask. "N-N-No" she said. "Why w-would I do such a thing?" She asked. "I don't know. Just curious." then she chuckled nervously again. She coughed and pink dust flew from her mouth. "WHAT?" I ask very uncomfortably. "I-I-It's not what it looks like." "YOUR A FAIRY!" I scream in terror and excitement. "SHHHHHHHHH" She said as she grabbed me by my arm. "YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE! IF YOU DO I WILL SLIT YOUR THROAT." She said very threatening. "ok....ok." I say terrified. "so.....hows it like to be a fairy?" I ask. "Just don't talk about it." she said. "But now that you know.... I have to tell you the truth. My names not Christine. Its Camilla!" She said quietly. "oh." I say. "BUT! you have to keep calling me Christine!" She says. "Ok I say as I choke down the rest of my lunch and throw the tray in the trash. "Wow! I'm friends with a fairy!" I say in my head.
Will this change my life? I ask myself.
