An Array Of Dissapointments

Chapter 2

Disarray's POV
"Ohmygod! BAE IS ON THE RADIO" I screeched as we stopped at a red light not noticing the cop next to us in the right lane.
"How can you tell it's your 'BAE' if you've only heard the first five notes of it?" Nicole asked laughing.
"Oh. I know." I smiled suspiciously.
"Oh god. No. Please don't" Nicole begged.
"Too late." My smile widened to a lunatic grin. I took a deep breath & started singing along.
"Nobody thinks what I think. Nobody dreams when they blink. Think things on the brink of blasphemy, I'm my own shrink think things are after me, my catastrophe. I'm a kitchen sink, you don't know what that means because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me. Ok, friend? Are you searching for a purpose? Then write something. Yeah it might be worthless, then paint something then, it might be wordless. Pointless curses, nonsense verses you'll see purpose start to surface. No one else is dealing with your demons meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning, friend." I sang until we pulled into Starbucks. When we parked a cop car pulled up next to us & the officer got out. "Hello ladies. How are you today?" He asked. "Oh. We're doing alright today. How about yourself?" I said for Nicole & I. "I'm doing good. Just stopping here before my shift starts." He answered while he held the door open for Nicole & I. "Thank you sir." I said with a small smile while Nicole dipped her head. There was 2 people in front of us. Suddenly I got a text. I checked to see who it was from.
Dad:
Where are you?
Me:
Starbucks w/ Nicole.
Dad:
Are you going to her house after school?
Me:
Yeah. I'm going to pick up Bast before I do though. Why?
Dad:
Mind going to Ezekiel's house for me? I'm working a late shift & she's talking about needing some groceries. Just for a little bit. Then you're free to do whatever.
Me:
Okay. No problem.
Dad:
Thanks Dizickles.
I smiled at the old nickname. "Move up loser. Else I won't buy you anything." Nicole said. I laughed & moved to the counter. I got a little shaky & nervous but I brushed it off.
"Hey Dis. You want the usual?" Tracy, my favorite girl Barista asked me.
Nicole looked over shocked. "What! You've only come here 3 times with me. & You said you didn't like Starbucks so that's why I've been paying!"
I laughed. "I don't like Starbucks. I love it." Nicole death glared me. "Chill. Chill. I'll buy today." I said smoothly.
"Better." Nicole grumbled before she gave Tracy her order.
I turned to the officer & asked "What do you want?" He looked a little startled but quickly turned to amusement.
"I'm okay. I can pay for my own drink." He said. "Nonsense I want to do something as a thank you for protecting the city." I said & added, "I'll get you the girliest drink I can find if you don't tell me." He chuckled & shook his head. "Fine. I'll have a Caramel Pumpkin Spice Frappe. Venti." Nicole & I stared at him shocked. "Hey it's good you should try it sometime." I shrugged & told Tracy "Green Chai Tea Latte. Grande please & a brownie too." While Tracy put in the orders & started making the drinks the officer got a call. He listened few seconds, said "Alright. On my way." & Hung up. He looked at us & said "Sorry. I have to go down to the station pronto." Then turned & exited quickly. I heard him turn on his sirens & speed off.
I sighed & payed for the drinks."We better get going now. Else we'll be late." After I tipped Tracy. I looked down at the name on my cup & saw Dismal. I got in the car & turned to Nicole.
"Oh. Dad wants me to go & swing by Ezekiel's house after school."
"How long?" She questioned.
"Not too long. Just have to check up on her."
"Alright." She said as we pulled into the school parking lot. I had already finished my drink so I threw it away in a trash can.
"About damn time. Smells like fish/sushi." Nicole said talking about my drink.
I shrugged. "What are you going to do with the drink?' She pointed to the officer's drink he never got. "Dunno. I'll see if I can put it in Mr. Raum's fridge for now I suppose." I told her while popping mint gum in my mouth.
"Anxiety?" She guessed.
"Bingo" I sighed.
"Sorry Hun."
"Nawh it's cool." I said as we parted ways for class. I put in my headphones, turned my music on using my blue IPod 6 & put my head down when I sat down in class. I fell asleep within a few seconds.
