Who Am I?

chapter 5

I must have fallen asleep at one point while i was crying. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. It was 7:00pm. I yawned and sat up, i walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. When i saw what was in the kitchen i stopped dead in my tracks.....

My mom was sitting at the bar drinking tea..... with chris.

I stood there and stared then my mom glanced over and saw me. She set her glass down and stood up. "Oh good morning honey..... or good afternoon is more accurate." She smiled. "I was just talking with your little friend here she came by earlier but i didnt want to wake you up. You were just so cute."

I blushed and looked at chris who was laughing to herself. I looked back at my mom "what did she want?"

My mom crossed her arms "sam why dont you go ask her. Stop being rude." As she walked to her room she said "ill leave you two alone to talk."

I rolled my eyes at her then walked over and sat next to chris. She smiled at me "i like your mom sam. Shes funny."

I blushed "yeah..."

Chris smiled at me her green eyes shining. "So you got kicked out of the school too?"

"Too?" I said worried.

She leaned back in the chair and stretched "yeah..... they said i skipped class too much and they kicked me out. But i know that was just a cover. They just dont like me."

I frowned "why dont they like you?"

She smiled and looked into my eyes "because i stand up for what i believe in."

I looked at the floor. "Maybe you should stop believing in little freaks like me."

She Frowned and looked at me. I lifted my eyes to her and for a moment our eyes met. I quickly looked away and blushed but then she grabbed my face and forced me to look into her eyes. "You little idiot! I care about you and im not going to let you torture yourself like this!"

I pushed her hand away and looked at her shocked. "You care about me?"

She blushed and looked at me then at the floor. "I didnt mean it that way. Im just saying that i dont want you to be sad...... cause it makes me sad.."

I blushed too not realizing how what she said could be interpreted that way. I looked over at the clock. It was 7:45pm. "What time do you have to be home by?"

she shrugged.

I looked at her eyes. they looked sad and as if she was trying to hold back tears. "I don't." she said coldly.

I looked at her. "what do you mean?"

she looked up and smiled "nothing its not important. I can leave whenever you want me to."

I thought about what was going on for a moment but I couldn't figure out what it was so I decided it was better to mind my own business. I smiled "you can leave when you feel like it cause if it was up to me you would never leave." I laughed meaning it as a joke.

she looked at me and grinned "you wanna have a sleep over?"

I froze for a moment then looked at her shocked. "are you serious?"

she nodded.

a grin quickly spread across my face and I felt excitement rush through me. I quickly stood up "ill go ask my mom!" I ran towards my moms room. as I ran I could hear chris laughing behind me.

when I got to the doorway my mom turned her head from her book and looked at me confused. "yes?"

I smiled "can chris stay over for a sleepover tonight?"

my mom bit her lip and thought about it for a moment then sighed and looked at me. "okay its fine as long as her parents say yes. I mean you don't have school tomorrow anymore."

I smiled and ran up and hugged her. "thanks mom"

my mom smiled softly and patted my head.

I walked back into the kitchen and looked at chris who was still sitting in her chair. I smiled "my mom said yes."

she smiled back.

I sat back down next to her and sat there awkwardly for a minute then I looked at her "uhhh.. did you want some pajamas to change into."

she looked down at her school uniform."yeah. I should probably change.."

I stood up. "Come on. Ill get you something from my room" i started walking up the stairs and she followed. I walked down the hallway and into my room. I hesitated before opening the door then i just did it.

When she walked in she looked around my room. My bed was a mess and there were books everywhere, on the floor, on the bed, in the shelf. My walls were completely covered in drawings. Im always hesitant to let people in here just because of these drawings. I dont draw normal things i draw weird things. My drawings consist of random things that come to my mind and alot of sadness.

Chris looked at me but i looked at the floor not wanting to see her judging eyes. Then she smiled "woah! This is all amazing. Did you draw all this?"

I looked up seeing that she wasnt creeped out in fact she was the opposite. She was intrigued.

She picked up a drawing off my desk. It was a drawing of a girl and her father, but hey were on a cliff and the girl was falling, the father stood at the edge of the cliff staring down at her as she had her hand out wishing for her father to save her. Above the drawing the words save me were written in red.

Chris looked at me and smiled "your really good. Maybe you could draw me something."

I blushed "yeah maybe."

She set it back down and walked over to me. "So you were getting clothes?"

I stopped blanking out. "Oh yeah." I said embarrassed. I walked over to my dressed and grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I handed them to her. "You can change in the..."

She started to unbutton her shirt.

My face turned bright red and i covered my eyes with my hands. "What are you doing?!"

She laughed "chill out. Were both girls here."

My face got redder "you dont just strip in front of people!"

She laughed "you can open your eyes now."

I slowly moved my hands away and opened my eyes. I looked at her. Her long black hair was now up in a pony tail. My t-shirt was kind of small on her so when she lifts her arms her stomach shows.

She noticed me staring at her. "Uh. Are you gonna change?"

I glanced down at my tattered and dirty outfit. "Yeah"

I grabbed a tank top and some shorts out of my drawer. I glanced at her. She was standing in front of the door. If i wanted to change in the bathroom i would have to ask her to move and it would be rude anyways since she just changed in front of me. I decided that i had to change right there.

I faced the wall and took off my shirt. My ribs hurt as i did this. I winced at the pain. I put on the tank top. I put my shorts on under my skirt then took my skirt off. I turned back around blushing.

Chris laughed "your really shy."

"Yeah..." i said awkwardly.

Chris smiled "you look adorable in that."

I looked down and noticed my tank top had a little rabbit on it. I blushed even more. "Yeah..."

I looked up at chris "did you ever eat dinner. Im kinda hungry. I missed it."

She shook her head. "No not yet."

I nodded then walked out of my room "lets go eat."
