Why

Chapter 2: Searching for a cure

Running to my car I got inside and trying to start the engine. I was shaking, so it was kind of hard to place the keys in the starter. As I did images of what I saw earlier flashed in my head. Why can't I just forget! Don't ask me how I drove all the way to campus but before I knew it I was there. My eyes were blurry and I believe all mushed up from all my crying.

As I opened the door my roomate, Ann, greeted me. Ann was a ginger-haired cutie. She was small and insanely beautiful. There were times were I envied her beauty.. Haha! Funny me.

I looked at Anne straight in the eye and fell in my bed and continued crying. Yes, I was awkward enough..

"Oh god!, Ally are you ok?!" Anne practically screeched.

"Yes Anne I'm fine" I said concluding the sobs.

"No you are not! Who made you cry?"

"I just saw John kissing his coworker."

"What?! I told you to be careful with men older than you!"

"Yes, I get it!" And with that I ran to the bathroom and locked myself in.

'Ally open the door this instant!" Anne kept screaming over and over.

While I ignored her constant blabbering I looked at myself in the mirror. I still had my face all messed up and my make-up was another story. I just stared at my 17 year old self. Well, you are mostly wondering what is a 17 year-old doing in college. Well they skipped me a grade in 11th and now I am in my first year in college. And they have a class of like 12 students the same as me.. Yes I am even more awkward..

When my face was presentable I walked out and Anne was glaring at me.

"Thanks for having the decency to open the door for me" Anne said clearly furious.

"Your welcome!" I said with a fake smile. That seemed to piss her off some more. Later I changed into my penguin pj's and read half of a book. I was fully tired so I drifted to sleep.

The next morning I got up lazily. My hair was a normal mess.. I didn't even bother to make it presentable. I just went to the bathroom, took a bath ,washed my teeth, and changed clothes. I ignored Anne and like I was free that day I just spent it reading.

Anne decided to talk to me after 6 hours of beautiful silence. "I'm sorry, Aly" she pleaded.

"Its ok" I said without peeling my eyes I the book.

"Can you even look at me when I apologize?"

Sighing I looked up to see Annie's face of regret. My heart clenched and a sob escaped my lips.

"A-Ally?? Anne leaned towards me.

"I'm sorry! I should've listened to what you said! I can't believe how I fell for it! I hate him! I hate him!!!" I practically scram. Anyone outside could think there was a murder happening in here.

"Shhh.. Ally its ok" Annie said in a soothing voice as she embraced? me in a hug. Only then I felt ok with myself. In those screams of frustration I let out all of that clogged up sadness, but the only thing left was the memory who once brought all that sadness in the first place.

After like 45 minutes of consoling me Anne finally spoke. "Let's go to the mall!" I grunted. "Right now?"

"Yes! Cause window-shopping always make you feel better!"

"Well I'm not sure though. I don't feel that great"

"Aww! But pretty please??"

"Ok, ok"

"YAY!" she practically screeched.

Meanwhile in the mall I don't know what she really meant by 'window-shopping'. Mainly because she was enjoying it more than I have ever enjoyed going to the mall in my life. I think she was just trying to cheer me up, which was a horrible job really..

"Look at this sun dress! It's so cute! Oh! Oh! Look at these jeans! Do you like them, Ally?"

"Uh, what?"

"These AMAZING jeans!"

"They are ok.. I think"

"YOU THINK?!" she exclaimed with a dumbstruck face.

"Ok! They look pretty awesome!" I replyed obviously sarcastically, but she was so dense I think she didn't get it.

"That's the spirit!"  

Nope she didn't get it.

After that scene she did in the mall I finished up buying 3 pairs of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of Chuck Tailors. Then I practically dragged her to Subway where I could be happy with my delicious sandwich.  

Going back to campus I was so exhausted I literally fell in my bed.

"Urg, I'm beat"

"Same. Why did we go to the mall anyways"

"Because you were hyper and you dragged me into it"

"Oh, that explains it!" she said looking at the ceiling with a realization look on her face. Wow, did she act dumb or she was simply it? I rather not answer the question by being scared of the answer.

The rest of the weekend went in a flash, but it was a good one cause I finally did all that homework and a project I had due for the next week. On tuesday Anne begged me or rather made me to make her company at a couple of shops that are in town. "Oh my gosh! Look at these shorts!" Anne said in her hyper self. "Yep, they look pretty, but may I ask why are we in the clearence racks outside instead of going inside?" I asked Anne with a quizzical look on my face. "Becaauusee" Anne said smiling. I really wasn't in the mood to argue with her so intead of answering I just nodded. After an hour and a half of torture and in the clearence racks a scream was overheard. I raised my head from my Converse to a group of highschool boys who were rounded up in a circle in the mouth of an alley. I asked Anne "Did you hear that?" 

"Hear what?"

"Um, nothing. Forget about it."

"Oh, ok" she answered me with a casual shrug.

"Hey, I think I saw something I might like so I'll be right back."

"Oki doki!" Anne answered her gaze never leaving the t-shirt she was examining.

I got out of the clearence rack and as a trouble seeker I am I got closer to the group of boys. As I got closer I could see that there was a boy in the middle wearing dark clothes and looking to the floor as the other boys pushed him around like if he was a dirty rag. "Hey!" I scram to the group. "Leave him alone!" After those words left my mouth I knew what a serious mistake I made. The boys looked up their gazes piercing into mine. A shiver ran though my body in seconds.

"Oh look! What a pretty young lady we have here." a tall brunette said to the others.

Oh crap I really am a dumb trouble maker.
