Panda Marks

Ch.3 No sleep and a visit from blues

Me and my dad stop off at the store to pick up a few things and then he dropped the bomb on me... "So who is he ?  me not knowing what to say I just looked at my dad and gave him the look which resulted in him saying " Really Gabby don't give me that look ... It's just my job to know who people are that's all ..." it felt weird trying to tell my dad that Ryan is a boy I might have a somewhat small crush on... But all I answered him back with was "He is a boy I met in class today that's all ... " dad then gave me the look as if he knew that I wasn't telling him everything but he left the conversation at that and we continued to shop and then we went to the checkout. I heard someone do this weird sound that sounded like paper ripping as we were standing in line... So I looked up and lord and behold it was the Jet black hair with red eyes also known as Zack! He was the bag boy which I found to be funny because well he seems to rough to be a bag boy but I have to say he does have the smile for it. 

When we got to the front of the line I was trying to hide behind my dad but I forgot that they all have this weird sense thing where they can sense anyone they want in the immediate area... Zack without even looking up said " Paws I see you ! " and the biggest smirk came across his face because my dad then looked at me and said " Gabby another friend from school ?" I didn't really know how to classify Zack besides a bad boy who I became friends with along with everyone else... But Zack beat me to it and said to my dad "Hello Mr.Daylight , I'm Zack Grim and I'm a friend of Gabby's from school!" he shook my dad's hand all casual like they knew each other forever. Which I found to be weird but at least we ran into Zack and not Ryan because I really wouldn't be making any from off eye contact and or even acknowledge he was their...  After Zack finish having a awkward conversation with my dad about politics we went to leave and the worst thing possible that could happen well it happened... Ryan walked through the door as we were walking out and for a minute I thought he didn't see me but he did and came back out of the store to say hi which was bad for me ... "Hey Gabby!!! It's Ryan!!!!! " I tired to hurry and get into the car but dad was purposely taking long to open the doors and then Ryan decided to walk over and had a proper introduction with my father which in his mind he didn't realize that he was digging me an even bigger hole then I already had...

"Hello, you must be Gabby's Father ! I've heard a lot of kind things about you! " my father looked at me and then looked back at Ryan and said " I highly doubt Gabby talks about me ... " but the thing is that I don't talk about my dad but Ryan made it seem like I talked about my dad all the time... I heard some other familiar voices and looked up and seen Kim and Kat also walking up to me... They both gave me and Ryan hugs and then asked " What are you guys doing here? " I didn't know what to do ... I didn't know if I should answer them or pay attention to the conversation going on between Ryan and my father ... But at this point I just wanted to go home and just sleep... It started raining and me and my dad got into the car and my dad said " That Ryan boy is really respectful and he's good at observing people! " I mumbled something under my breathe but my dad obviously didn't hear me because he was to busy still talking about Ryan... We start to drive off and we see Ryan , Kim, Zack, and Kat walking in the rain towards the area we live in ... My dad said to me " Shouldn't we give them a ride ? It's raining and they could get sick ... " that's my father for you worried about everyone but himself... But anyway he pulled over and offered Ryan and the  others a ride ... They said if it wasn't any trouble then sure ... 

Now here is where things get worst for me ... My dad decided to invite them all over for dinner ... Which is when conversation and deep talk got really real ... And I mean deep to the point of tears ... Everyone helped put groceries and set the table which was actually fun because everyone was being goof balls and what not! Then came dinner conversation which was hell ... The first question came from my sister Qin " So blue eyes are you like my sisters boyfriend or something?!" she said with such envy and hatred ... Ryan seen the sad emotion creep across my face and he said " Why you ask ?! Jealous!!!? " which had me giggle a little and caused my sister to get a little pissed off... Then the next question came from my dad which was " So how did all of you meet ?  " and this time Kat had the answer to that question " Well... we kind of became friends in detention but it's not because we are bad or anything... it's just I have a short temper and these guys are always bailing me out of trouble but Gabby just kind of found us!" my dad smile and it was the smile that he liked the fact that I just made friends no matter if it was through detention... The final set of questions where from my two irritating brothers and these questions were towards Kim & Zack ... " One , dude with the spiky black hair were did you get your eyes? " Zack laughed and responded " It's a natural thing bro !!! " then my littlest brother asked " Miss why do you have Cheetah print on your arm ? Are you like my sister? " I was actually curious on how Kim would answer and at the same time wondering why my brother would ask something like that ... Kim was chill about and said to my brother " This is how me and your sister became friends because we relate in a lot of ways!" she said with a big smile and Qin was still mad about the answer that Ryan gave her and I think that's why he is still smiling because he knows she still upset because he can read her mind .

Another thing he could be smiling at is the fact that he knows what i'm thinking also which is making me blush now... After everyone finished eating they went to their homes but Ryan stayed back to help with kitchen  duty even though my dad said he didn't have to Ryan insisted that he did and my father thank him! Me and Ryan where doing the dishes and he asked me " You and your family don't get along really do you ? Well besides you and your dad ... You and your siblings don't do you? " the thing is he already knew the answer so I didn't have to answer him but then he did the most unexpected thing ... He kissed me and his lips where so soft and cold but it felt nice ... I pushed him away and said "Sorry but I'm not like my sister...so you should go ...and thanks for the help..." the funny thing is that I didn't want him to leave and he knew that but he left because I told him to... I did my normal routine and when I came up to the room my sister was already sleep ... but it was only 8 o'clock at night which is weird for her but I was actually happy that she was already sleep because I didn't have to hear about here disgusting day... The thing that was my problem was that I couldn't sleep ... I then hear something that sounded like pebbles being thrown at my window... I went to my window and opened it and seen Ryan  sitting on my lawn and he said to me " You have a minute ? - Ryan" me being shocked that he came back to talk to me after I kicked him out of my house was kind of cute but weird at the same time... I couldn't have him in the house because it was passed curfew so I told him " Meet me on the roof in five minutes ...  " he acknowledge what I told him and started heading for the roof ... I get on the roof and he isn't wearing a shirt and damn did he have the sexiest body I've ever seen and then I seen his marks they wear like white tiger stripes across his torso ... I then told him " What do you want? Why are you out this late ? - Gabby" he then told me the sweetest thing " I just wanted to apologize for earlier and wanted to do it face to face because your face is beautiful and I couldn't do it through a text message or a call ... " I look at his chest and see a mark that looked like a stab wound and he said to me " That is a mark from my past that I don't really like to talk about ... " I then told him " I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean ..." and before I got to finish my apology he grabbed me and hugged me and said "It's okay ,you don't need to apologize for your thoughts..." he smiled and I looked at him and went to go lean in for a kiss and before it happened I heard "Gabby where are you ?  " coming from the window of our room so I backed away and said "Sorry again... " Ryan looked me came up to me and kissed my forehead and did a back flip off of my roof which is three story's off the ground but he landed and was perfectly fine...

I went back into the house and my sister was still going off at the mouth and I decided I wasn't going to pay her any mind... So I went to the bathroom and I just stared at myself through my reflection and seen that me eyes turned a Icy blue and I started to freak out... I came out of the bathroom and asked Qin "Do my eyes look a different color to you ?" she just laughed and laughed ... So at that point I thought that maybe I was just seeing things ...So I just went back to bed and was thinking about Ryan for the rest of the night ... Which kept me smiling all night and also caused me to not get any sleep... I looked at the clock and it was 4:30 in the morning and I didn't really care so I just got up and went to go take a shower which is when I saw other marks on my body that I really haven't seen before meeting all of them ... I came out of the shower and looked at my eyes again and at first me eyes were just their normal dark brown and then they slowly started to turn that icy blue again and I was amazed this time instead of being scared... I started to get ready for school and then I realized I couldn't find the pendant that my mom left me before she passed... So at that moment I knew my day was gonna suck anyway... So I just headed outside and seen Ryan and the others and a car that Zack was driving which in my opinion was a hella nice car... Ryan then asked me "Do you want a ride to school?" I looked at my dad and he motioned I could go with them and Zack aka Mr cool guy said "Come on get in !!! "  and we were off to school !
