Once Upon a Flower

Chapter 4

Storm's POV:

Another day over.

I bid Shirley good bye, and set off for home. The only thing on my mind was the encounter with Leo. That jerk,trying to flirt with me. Good thing I gave him a piece of my mind.

A wave of guilt washes over me. Maybe I was a bit too rude to him. Maybe I overreacted too much. Maybe I could have been a little bit......nicer?

While my thoughts are focused on Leo, I feel something jabbing my sides. I shriek and wheel around to see who the idiot was.

"Woah, relax girl, it's just me, your best girl friend."

"Debra! What the hell was that for? God you almost gave me a heart attack." My heart hammered into my chest like a bass drum. "C'mon, I was just messing around with ya. Besides your shrieks are pretty cute."she giggles. I shake my head and chuckle silently.

"There's that smile."she says.

"Okay, so what was so important that you had to jab me?"

"You forgot?"

"What?"

"You seriously forgot."

"What?"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT!"

"THEN TELL ME WHAT I FORGOT AND I'M SORRY FOR FORGETTING!"

"I'm staying at your place till my 'rents get back from their 'romantic vacation' in Europe."

"Oh, now I remember."

"Now I remember."she mimics in a squeaky tone. "Come on lets go. Tonight you and me will par-tay." "Yay!"

"Wait, let's stop at Starbucks for a drink. It's getting hotter and hotter out here."she says fanning herself. I nod in agreement and we head over to Starbucks. Luckily it's a few blocks away from the flower shop.

"Mmm! This java chip frappuchino is so good. C'mon Storm, try it."

"No. I'm good."

"What's wrong? You feeling okay?" Debra's looks at me with concern. "No it's nothing. I'm just not hungry at the moment." I was tempted to tell Debra about what happened today. "Actually there is something I want to tell you." Debra leans forward and gives me a coy smile. "I'm listening."

"But you must promise me that you won't freak out or laugh."

"I promise."

"Pinky promise?"

"GOD! I cross my heart and hope to fly."

And I narrate the entire incident. I noticed that Debra's expressions kept on changing from shock to amusement. When I was done narrating, she just said, "I knew it ". I had a bad feeling about this. "Knew what?" I asked. Before she could answer, my phone began to ring.

Oh crud. Sky.

Debra looks at my phone and shakes her head and mouths "You're in trouble." I whimper and pick up the phone. "Hey Sky. I'm so sorry. There was some work at the shop which took a lot of time and...."

Sky cuts me off before I could finish. "It's okay. I just called to ask you if you remembered to pick up Debra."

"Why does everyone think that I have a short term memory loss problem?" I whine. "That's because you do."he muttered. "What was that?" I growled. "Nothing. Bye." And he cut the phone. "Your big bro is always concerned about you. Its cute at times." I was about open my mouth when I froze.

"What's wrong? You okay?"

She turned towards the direction where I was looking. "Ooh look who's here? Your Romeo." Debra giggles. I don't say a word. I immediately get up and walk out of Starbucks. "Hey! Wait up Storm."

"Come on Debra. We're leaving." I say without turning back. Leonardo stepped into Starbucks along with two other guys and a girl. The girl was clutching Leo's hand as if it was a life line. "Hey babe, you hungry?"

"I am if you are." She giggles flirtatiously. I mentally gagged and walked out with a straight face.

"What the fuck was that all about?" Debra turns back and looks at Leo. "Oh. Okay, who's that skinny girl?"

"I don't know. Perhaps she's another slut who wants Leo to take her virginity." I huff. What is wrong with me?

I obviously wasn't bothered by what I just saw. Or was I?

At Storm's house:

"No no no. Hurry up and close the door!"

"There. I closed it. Is everyone still out there?"

"Freddy is in the bathroom, Bonnie is in the kitchen." Debra freezes. "Where's the chicken?"

"It's a duck,not a chicken. I don't know. She was in the drawing room a minute ago."

"Wait a second. OH GOD THERE SHE IS!"

Debra and I shriek as Chica jumps at the screen. "I hate Five nights at Freddy's." I squeak.

Suddenly Sky barges into the room, scaring the living daylights out of us. "What happened? I heard screaming." He looks at my computer screen. "I told you FNAF will be scary for you."

Debra puts her right hand up and puts her left hand over her heart."I solemnly swear that I'm never playing this game ever again."

"Whatever. I'm out." Sky says as he walks away.

"Okay spill. What the neck happened to you at Starbucks? Ever since you saw Leo and that girl, you've been acting really weird. Don't tell me, Storm Carol is jealous."

I nearly spit out my chicken wings. "Don't talk shit. Why should I be jealous of that random girl? Whatever I saw at Starbucks doesn't bother me at all."

"Okay fine, but why did you suddenly walk out of there?"

"Maybe I felt guilty alright? Maybe somewhere deep inside me, a teensy little part of me felt bad for snapping at him."

"You technically didn't actually snap at him."

"Look I don't know. I just don't." I was beginning to feel frustrated.

An awkward silence lingered in the air. "Okay then. Let's forget about him. How about we watch 'The Avengers'. You always seem to cheer up when Loki gets his ass whipped. Anyways I'm in a mood of looking at Robert Downey Jr's sexy face again."

"Okay."is all that I say.
