Caught In The Flame

Strangely awkward and quiet. Weird.

Darcy's POV

The first day was like any other boring school day. It was pretty entertaining watching all of the Freshman scatter and scamper around looking for their classes not knowing which way to go. And just to think, I was one of those freshman girls last year entertaining the upper classmen. It's so great to have a class with my two bestfriends. It also sucks because the only class I have with the both of them had to be with Bitchy Brittany. Anyway since it's not all about Merleah, I'm Darcy Marie Caldwell. Merleah, Claire, and I all grew up together. I'm the oldest out of the three of us and kind of like the mama bear of the group. I'm an only child and I have a wonderful mother and an amazing dad. I live with my two Bestfriends but you guys probably already knew all of that. I was pulled from my thoughts when Merleah pulled up next to the school, with Claire in the back seat of her 'baby Breezy' as she calls it, and was ready to go home. She says she calls it her Baby Breezy because she breezes through the streets of Calabasas. I will never understand what goes through the mind of Merleah Jade Winslow. "Get in bitch I'm ready to get out of here!" Merleah said as I walked towards her car. "M, you know you'll never get enough of this place no matter how many times you deny it." I jokingly said. Merleah replied "Oh D shut up and just get in so we can go home." Feeling irritated for some odd reason, I complied and hopped in. The entire ride home was strangely awkward and quiet. Weird. Merleah is usually a chatter box and you can never get her to shut up. I never thought I'd actually want her to start talking but I just want to confirm she's okay or feeling well. Meanwhile Claire usually sat in the backseat quietly and only spoke when she felt the need to add a comment or laugh when Merleah said something ridiculous. Which was quite often. When we arrived at our gate Merleah typed in the pin and drove up the driveway. After what seemed like forever we finally got home. I decided to go up to my room and call Zig, because for some reason I felt like something wasn't right but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and he always makes me feel better. When I finally reached the top of the stairs I trudged to my bedroom door and opened it up revealing my large queen sized bed. I slipped out of my shoes and replaced them with my blue bunny slippers and waltzed over to sit at my vanity. After scrolling through my contact list and finding 'Poohbear' I strangely opted out of calling him and chose to text him instead.
From Darcy:
Hey babe I miss you, how was your day? For me school was dreadful as usual. I wasn't feeling to hot so I decided to text you, call me when you see this, love you.
After hitting send I decided to climb into bed and take a nap.
I awoke from the sound of my phone charming.
From Poohbear:
Hello my princess. I really miss you to! My day was fine just minus the fact I haven't been able to talk to you
:( and awh is everything okay? I hope you're alright, and sorry I can't call you right now I'm out with a few of the guys, but I'll call you tonight. I love you too baby<3
That's strange. I thought he just went to Florida with his parents. Hmm. I guess he took a few friends with him, but he also never had a problem calling me when he's out with the boys before. Ugh. Oh well I guess they're out doing 'guy stuff'. I was pulled from my thoughts when Merleah and Claire came barging into my room jumping on my bed and playing music so loud I thought my ears were going to burst screaming "LETS GO TO THE MALL! LETS GO TO THE MALL! LETS GO TO THE MALL!" Finally after having enough of their shenanigans I grabbed one of Claire's ankles and one of Merleah's ankles and pulled their feet out from under them making them fall on to the bed. I then said "Why do you need me? Merleah can drive you, she has a car." Claire replied "Yea she is going to drive us but we want you to go with us." After seeing my expression of defiance they both said "Pleeeeeaaaassseeee." I finally caved after them getting down on their knees and begging me to go. "Fine fine just let me get ready." They both said "Yaaaayyy!" And then jumped off of my bed and went to go and get ready themselves. I know I know we're already dressed after coming home from school, but we've been wearing these clothes all day in this California heat and we always just freshen up our makeup a little bit. After all of us meeting at the bottom of our spiral staircase we each examined one another and decided we all looked perfectly fine, Merleah then shouted "YAAYY MALL TIME! IM GOING TO BUY EVERYTHING! YAAYY YAAYY YAYY YAAYYY WOOHOO WOOHOO WOOHOO WOOHOO!" Gosh she's so crazy. It's like she's always full of energy. Which reminds me I have to talk to her about what was bothering her this morning that she didn't want Claire to know about. And why she was so unusually quiet the car ride home from school. Hmm I'll have to talk to her later. After Claire and I trying to compose ourselves from laughing we all jumped in Merleah's overly expensive car, with me in the front and Claire in the back as usual, and drove to the Mall.

•I know this chapter is short, but I couldn't figure out another way to end it without it being to long. But anyway, whats Darcy's man up to? I hear things are getting pretty hot down in Florida, and I don't mean the weather. I guess we'll see what happens next! Keep reading to find out more!
