Hidden Dimples

❀ Chapter 2 : Hello!

❣ Celestine's POV ❣

"There, okay? I cleaned up your mess. Well, technically, my mess." I smirked. That dude didn't even twitch.

"Good. Now leave." He said emotionlessly. I just stood there with an eyebrow raised.

"No thank you? Dude, where are your manners?" I pressed. I mean, if you're so emotionless and all, I'd like to see you handle my annoying-ness Mr. Grumpy Bumpy.

Instead of a reply. He just left an walked out. Wow, now I get why Jessyn said he was nice. He's so mean now.

I pouted and called over, "Well, if you aren't going to say thank you, I'd say it for you. You're welcome!" But he already got lost in the body of students. Oh well.

I was heading to my car when I got yanked to the corner. A pair of blue eyes and blonde hair came to view only to be greeted by Jackson.

"Oh, Hello!" My voice slightly muffled as his hand was on my mouth. He immediately realized and removed his hand.

"Where were you during English?" He asked.

"Wait, we're friends?" I asked sheepishly as he nodded.

"Of course, if you manage to get Jessyn to like you, you're an automatic friend. Yeah, she may be friendly but it doesn't mean she likes everyone." He rambled and my eyes rounded in understatement.

"I also heard about someone pranking Storm Winters. Do you know who it is?" He asked curiously with a mischievous smirk.

"It was me." I said while smiling like a grinch. He laughed and doubled over as I watch him in horror. I knew he was a delicate creature! Now I've broke him! Aww, my new friend as well.

Just then Jessyn came over. Her books were clutched to her chest as she arched an eyebrow in confusion of why her brother was doubling over in laughter and that I looked like I've seen a giraffe smacking a tree with it's neck.

Yeah, I watch Animal Planet. Those things happen okay? It's how they fight.

"Jessyn! I think I broke him with my grinch smile!" I whisper yelled while holding onto Jackson as he laughed harder. Sooner, Jessyn joined him too.

Really? Is this a twin thing?

Great, now I broke two of them. They were my new best friends as well!

•••

I came back from school after 'fixing' Jessyn and Jackson. I also thought of my next prank. Hmm, what should it be? Oh, I can set a llama free in the music room. Heeeheehee.

Yeah, I'm weird.

"Hey Celest, how was school?" Mom asked as she emerged from her office. See, mom's a fashion designer and well, I don't really have a dad. So it's just me and mom.

"Great and not so great. Eh, a little bit of both." I replied, grabbing some fruits and ham to make a salad.

"So tell me about it." She said as she planted herself on the bar stool.

"Well, I met 2 new friends and they're really nice. That was the good news." I paused to place a bowl of salad towards mom. "And the not so great part, is that I pranked someone and they got mad with me." I smiled sheepishly as I sat on a bar stool opposite mom.

"Oh dear, what do I do with you?" She joked and laughed. "If it makes you happy, then do what you must. After all you only get to be a teenager once. Just don't let it get too out of hand, please." She smiled sweetly.

See, this what I like about my mother. She's care free and simple minded. Though she has lots of money, it's never been an issue to her. She would gladly take a ride in a public bus if she had to and won't complain about it. She let's me do the 'teenager' stuff and makes sure I'm happy. She always said that being a teenager is the funnest stage in life so I should enjoy it and try different things. But, I do have to get her permission. As long as it doesn't get too out of hand.
