CONSCIOUS
A month ago a new couple moved in the pleasant neighborhood of Nicey Fellow, an urban district known for its wonderful community . This couple in quite a short amount of time had make quite a good impression, every one welcomed them with big open arms . Our couple was composed of a man and a woman, Steve and Bethany . Steve had a good reputation of an excellent handy man , he would always go back and forth in the neighborhood to help people in his free time . He would especially love to help elderly and needy people .
Bethany, her , was a kind one . She devoted herself in doing only good things .She was part of the literary club and was too volunteering a lot . If anyone needed help to organized something she was always free and happy .
It was said too that she was a great cook , but seeing the reality in the face even if she would be a wreck at cooking her look would totally save her because she was a beautiful girl.
An exotic one plus. She was the mixture of an English father and a mother from the faraway isles.
Her skin was naturally tanned and so smooth no buttons in sign on her marvelous face, her eyes were like the color of freshly cooked caramel. Anyone who would cross her gaze would see her sharp spirit. To finish the picture she had such wonderful and luxurious hair which resembled a lion mane. They were lightly blonde and mainly brown .
I
One morning of cold winter, Bethany was up since really early. The previous day she was quite occupied by a lot of things to do as always. The night came soon and on her to-do list was one remaining thing : BRINGING THE LITERARY CLUB BREAKFAST.
She said to herself: its fine I will do it tomorrow, I am a quick cooker. But when the time come to sleep she had some troubles, she was rehearsing what she would do at 7 am again and again. But obviously things added up and problems too. She became really anxious. When the sun came up she jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen. She whispered : NOW THE BATTLE BEGIN.
She would do anything to please the people of her club, plus it was the first time she was let responsibilities she had to honor them. But she was unconsciously her worst enemy, since childhood she had this perfection disorder, if things wasn’t perfect it would made her feel pretty sick. She was now looking impulsively at the oven, her masterpieces should absolutely not burn!
Or it would be the end! She was checking again and again her watch, clenching her jaw hard.
But everything was okay, she was so relieved! Today was a great day.
She then made sure to put it in surety in her car and drove out of her alley. Up to the club!
But as she drove bad thoughts came to her, even tho they people had welcomed her and her husband so well, even tho she had friends, a woman came to her mind. That made her anxious. And she would see her very soon…
This woman was a woman of her age, she was quite the description of the popular girl, blond tall and gorgeous. Bethany would have love to say that her charm wasn’t working on her but it was not the case. She had weird feelings, she had always look up to those girls even if it make her feel miserable in the end. She thought so hard to became like her right now. But nothing happened. And now she was in front of club’s building…
She sighed, but she build up courage to move out. The pastries were putted in her arms and then she entered slowly almost as if she was wanting to go backward. She thought : today I socialize! I can do it! Its not one woman who will stop me, LET’S GO! That motivate her back.
She was on time, even a little late now that she had had her dragging moment. But it didn’t matter to her, people a little late always looked cool in high school so why not her now. (Even tho she always tried to convince her that people opinion didn’t matter it was clearly not true in the end.)
The huge big double doors of the club were opened, so she went right threw in but immediately she saw it...
Clarissa was already here. Everyone was gathered all around her. It wasn’t even surprising it was just the cruel order of things. Bethany’s heart crumbled. She was like a rock in the entrance. She was there serving food to everyone.
Seeing her Clarissa said : Oh ! Bethany ! Come here taste what I cooked !
Couldn’t she see the pastries of Bethany ?! Why wasn’t anyone saying anything ?!
Bethany was feeling so dumb, that she just let go of everything because her mind was too occupied to find a way to escape. And quick. It crashed everywhere on the floor. The sound made her realized she needed to run out of here. No one understood what happened here. Everyone was so astonished that their eyes were wide open in incomprehension .
Bethany ran to her car so fast. Never in her whole life she had run so hard, maybe because she never felt so ashamed too. She came in, automatically turned it up, and drove back home just like that. Her mind now was just blank. The car was stopped in her garage way, she saw it but she couldn’t associate it. She was really shook. When she began to recover, long sobs escaped and not long after she let it all out and began to cry like a little child. She stayed maybe in the car for twenty minutes.
