Finding Jess

Chapter 24 - Leilah And Carter

Today was awesome! Okay I'm over-exaggerating, maybe just cool though. Now I know that atleast I have some friends and really nice one's if I might say so myself.

After Luke and I ditched, we visited the skatepark. We managed to think of quite a few interesting things to do - mostly teenager crap. Luke showed me a couple of his signature skating tricks - and honestly, I had no clue what they were called.

After atleast ten epic fails, we snuck off to the back of the half pie and used stolen spray paint to spray paint the words 'Stop Riding Me So Hard' on it. Of course I meant skateboarders riding the half pipe on their skateboards, but Luke had much dirtier thoughts in mind.

Later that morning we hit the costume store and dressed up like zombies, scaring people at the park across the street. It was super hilarious until we had to stop and run, because some fat guy started chasing us thinking we were ill dirty homeless kids.

At 10:30 I persuaded Luke to come back to school just so that I wouldn't miss my lunch with Leilah - stupid, I know right. It was actually really comfortable and worth it though, because Leilah introduced me to one of her friends - Carter May.

Carter May, may have just been the most fascinating specie I've ever seen. I envy her... literally, have you seen her awesome piercings. She had two lip rings, fang width apart and a belly ring. No that's not all. She also had a silver bar at the top of her left ear, a stretcher and four piercings in each ear. Awesome.

My mum would die if I had those. No - she would kill herself, haunt me, kill me and once I'm dead, make my not life miserable and taunt me.

Carter and Leilah looked so much alike you'd swear they were twins or atleast sisters. If it wasn't for their hair and eyes, they'd probably almost be identical. Carter was a thin short figure underneath reddish-brown almost maroon hair. While the colour of her eyes popped with a light metallic grey sparkle. Leilah on the other hand was built in the exact same way, except her volumous bouncy dark hair going ombre blue - stood out across the room. It was very unique styled in a half-high-ponytail half-lose style. Her fair skin tone accomplished by her blush pink cheeks made her hazel eyes stand out.

Okay... so maybe they weren't that close to being identical.

After lunch, Luke and I found ourselves playing knock and run, watching half of an extremely boring movie and chilling at the lake downtown. We came back to school when it was home time though.

At the beginning of the day hanging out with Luke was awkward. I know everything was all like cool, chill, yeah, but some strange mysteriously terrifying aspect about him made things weird. I'm not crazy or anything, but my mind was blowing up. He could be some weirdo - okay, says the weirdo - like a crazy axe-murderer or something. None the less, he's not as bad as I credited him for. He's actually okay... kind of I guess. He's alright.

I figured that Kimmy had been more than helpful towards me, so I walked home on my own - obviously informing her of my plans. So when she said no - expected - I just told her I was going to walk with my new friend. It's not really a lie... not the truth either, but not as bad as a lie. Okay it I lied, but it was a good lie. If you could call it that.

I know how it goes for wrong to right and if you meet in the middle there's always room for common ground. It would'a been a better idea to have met in the middle with Kimmy though. But in this case, what's wrong was right.

I should probably not have lied to her as often as I was starting out to though, because the chances of us becoming good friends were hiking. But I might as well break a few boundaries, because I didn't want to feel incarcerated in this looming friendship.

HEY!!!

UM>>>>SO>>>YEAH

Stay tuned.

I'm OUT!!!
