After a couple of weeks of the Angel world I go back to the human world. The human world that is easier to deal with. I still haven't figured out about my angel world or the future and if Benito was really there or if it just happened to be a coincidence or something. I never made the time to do that.
Mom has a couple of days to decide whether she wants to stay there or come back. It really should not be a choice for her. If she stays there then here I will be alone and if someone finds out then I could end up in foster care or something.
Instead of going to Benito's I go home and lay in bed. So many memories come back. If only my life were that simple again. No training, just me and mom and friends, and regular food. No blood or fancy foods and cakes. Cakes... I should bake a cake. I look at the time and it is late. If I plan on going to school again tomorrow then I should try to sleep.
I lay there thinking until I fall asleep. My alarm goes off and the sun is shining through the window. I groan and get up to get ready.
When done I go run to a bus stop. Everyone at the bus stop looks at me and the same thing happens when I get on the bus. I slouch down in the front seat and hug my knees.
When I get to class the teacher looks at me and then starts to teach still watching me. I don't like this attention. Why is everyone watching me? Benito never shows up and I have no one to talk to about this. I have no phone because I am supposed to get another one. With no job. I have no job, how can I afford a phone?
The bell rings and I go to my locker. When Kimberly walks by I smile and say hi. She looks and continues to walk. "Kim. Kimberly?" I run in front of her.
Kimberly: Oh Hi!. I did not see you. When did you get back? You look amazing. But we can't talk right now. I um.. have to go to the office and see why they called me. "Did they call the class because there was no announcement. Are you okay?" Kimberly looks around. Kimberly: Meet me by the creek around my house. That way it is a coincidence that we both are there. "Um.. yeah okay." I fake a smile and she speed walks away.
Later that day I go to the creek and wait for Kimberly. Kimberly: Hey. I look up at her then stand up. "Hey." Kimberly: Look um.. about earlier at school.. "What was that? I thought we were friends. Are we friends?" Kimberly: Yeah.. i think.. maybe. You should know that people think you and Benito went off and did something stupid and now something happened and you are back but maybe he is in trouble or hiding from you.
"Something stupid like what?" Kimberly: You got pregnant or just stuff. Trouble you know? "You should still be my friend. Or at least could have stuck up for me. I would of for you. No one knows what I am going through and.. and.." I start to pace around. Kimberly: I did at first. But you never called and then you did but you never came to see me. Where were you? Do you know that Benito is probably fake? He has no number, no parents, no one like a guardian or anything, and no address. Everyone thought we would find you two dead. If not in trouble or... pregnant. But you don't look pregnant. You do however look hotter than ever. Have you been working out?
I stop and look at her. Kimberly: Look I do not have long. If you are back for good or a while then we'll meet here and talk again. "No we will not. Are we friends? Can I still trust you?" Kimberly gasps. Kimberly: You are pregnant? I look at her then cross my arms, and take a deep breathe. "Are you kidding me?"
Kimberly texts on her phone. "Kimberly!" She jumps and looks at me. "I'm not pregnant. Something is going on okay. But not like that and no one can know. I need to know I can trust you." Kimberly puts her phone away and nods. "I am not just human. I am part angel and part vampire. But no one can know." Kimberly laughs.
Kimberly: You would have bitten me by now. How are you in the sun or any light? And vampires and angels are in movies. Nicole you need help. "That's it! I'll prove it to you." Kimberly: There is no need to. Friends? "What?" Kimberly: Oh. We shouldn't be anyway. I'll see you around. Don't act crazy and no trouble. Bye.
