Birthday Erthquake

Birthdy Earthquake

"No! I said teel blue not cotton blue, this isn't a baby shower" When are they going to think about what's more important. Me.
As I walk around, I check things off a list with a black pen. This Party is Going to Rock and everyone is gonna want to come. I look up from my list and spot Alex coming straight ahead. I think fast and Avoid bumping into him.
"Hey...uh..Alex... what are you doing here?" I suddenly say.
"I'm volunteering to help with your birthday party" replies Alex
"this is a Private Area. And who said you can be here"
"a little thank you would be nice" mumbles Alex
"and your mom said I can help if I wanted. By the way do you know where she might be?" he tilts to the side and looks around. I do the same and reply.
"She is in the restroom right now. But if you want, you can get started on setting up the chairs" I snapped.
I watch him as he walks up to a row of chairs to make sure he goes the right way and because he's sort of cute with tan skin and nearly bald black hair. I hope one day we can be together and have a family with a teenager and a small annoying kid so that they can fight and I can ground them for the rest of their miserable lives. Sorry I was day dreaming.
"So is it possible I can get a sneak peak about what your gonna do for your special day?" Says Alex
"not at all possible" I notice Alex struggling so I take a few chairs off his hands. Speaking of when I went to go grab the chairs I touched his hand. I almost melted of nervousness but my smart mind knows when to snap out of it. Sometimes.
"Please. I need to know. My curiosity is going to make me pass out" cries Alex
"good because maybe then you will shut up!"I shout
"Yikes. Touched a nerve there sells" "my name is not sells its Aracelis" I said. I smile at him so that he knows I'm not harsh.

(The next day)

"Oww...Sofia...its to tight" stop complaining if I loosen it, the dress might fall off during the party" said Sofia. Who by the way is my bffl we met in the second grade when I dropped my lunch on my favorite day of the week Toco Tuesday I was devastated and it almost ended in tears but Sofia came and stole a toco for me and we became best friends soon afterwards. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
"Ugh...stupid dress!" I complained
"if its so stupid then why did you buy it in the first place"replied Sofia
*chuckles*
"OK Aracelis get up there and wow the crowd" said Sofia with a smile
"OK...I...I will" I said with a big breathe as I walk behind the curtain.
The idea for the big entrance is too let everyone dance and eat some snacks while we wait for everyone that was invited come. Then once i am ready i will enter the building through a back door and once I am ready to go on I give the signal witch of course isn't crazy like squeaking like a chicken but simple and ordinary. And since I bet your really curious it goes like this. Simply 3 claps and a whistle. Witch will open the shimmering curtains and I will sassy walk onto the stage.

(An hour after the big entrance)

I sit down at a table and sip some soda out of a can
"Alex!...uh... I mean sup hehe" I said a bit startled
"Hey Aracelis. How come your sitting out on such a great party?
"I know its been almost an hour but I am way too tired to move a muscle. I mean seriously how many pounds can a dress weigh" I said. I feel like I'm dragging a sack a potatoes on my feet!
*chuckles*
"Alright, alright, alright here comes the slow jams!" Shouts the DJ
"Well I hope you regenerated because me and you are going to dance whether you like it or not" Alex Demands
Did he just ask me to dance with him. No he didn't. He demanded me to dance with him!
"Wait...Alex... I don't even know how to slow dance" I said in fear. I wish he new how much I didn't want this. What if I do something I might regret
"Just follow my lead...it's going to be okay"
He presented his hand down to where I sat and I couldn't leave him hanging so I plopped my hand onto his. We stepped onto the stage and my nerves began to burn again. I already have regrets. He places his hand on my hip and gently slides it up to my waist and with his other hand he does the same. my smile becomes an open circle. I hate this so much. No I don't I love this. I really do. This is proof that Alex does like me. I wold do a happy dance but I'm busy doing a slow dance. He pulls me close and I wrap my hands around his neck.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Honestly he's sort of jerky and sort of nice. The feelings I have for him spell it all out.
"Its your birthday and I want you to have as much fun as you need too" said Alex
"Thx for everything" I say. He gets cuter every time he talks.
"Don't thank me yet I have something for you he takes one arm away from my waist and takes a black fur box out of his left pocket
"Here" Alex said. He did not just give me what I think it is. I begin to tear up so I covered my mouth. To avoid crying.
He gave me a flower mood necklace. When I was 9 I found a mood necklace that I loved so much I never took it off eventually it worn off and one day it snapped off me. It was a hard day for me. I let Alex take it from my hand so he can place it around my neck I could feel his cold smooth hands sliding around my neck.
It might just be the bluer of my tears but as soon as he walked in front of me again I couldn't help myself but to kiss him. He stared down at my lips and I know he felt the same way so I leaned in and kissed him. It was warm and slow and wonderful.
All of a sudden we are interuppted by a sudden thump. And as soon as we snap to attention someone shouts "Earthquake!!!" Everyone started to Panic and all I could see from the small stage were scattering people "Uh...we gotta go!" I was too shocked in fear not knowing where to move so Alex drags me and I just run along with him. We kept hitting Dead ends and my fear grew I could feel the Ground rumbling up again and a humungoes crack formed between me and Alex.
"Alex!" He turns around and I would emediatly see the worry in his eyes
"Aracelis no!!!" But its too late the crack is to big for either of us to jump. So we go our separate ways. I sob as I run off the other way I finally found an exit that was nearly completely destroyed I made it out but I'm too sad to stand so I crash to the dirt staring at the exit where I left Alex. Alone.

(Later that day)

I am still thinking about Alex as I look down at the coast or what used to be the coast. I'm standing on the edge of a boat looking at what the world used to be. Once I arrive in New York I will be sent into a safe house where I will be given a job for 3 years then released to do my own thing.
*Sighs*
