Searching For Alice

1

Ring ring ring ring buzz! That would be my phone. I got up to click it. I read, Alice sent you a text message. And miss call from Alice. My black hair was a mess. It was about to my chin so I mostly got knots out of it. After getting ready for school I called Alice. "Hey babe. What you up to."

"Hey, I'm getting a little sick, can't I come over after school?"

"Ya sure. But I have something that I want to give you after collage today."

"Okay love you."

I hung up my iPhone and grabbed my red book bag and took off. The green walk way to my class building was beautiful and every time I walked by it, I was reminded of Alice. Her sweet soft brown hair, her big icy blue eyes, and her soft tan skin. Finally I got to math class with Mr. Changeling. Then a couple girls ran into me there names were Suzy and Jasmine. Suzy spoke in a gentle voice, "Hey Tristan we're throwing a party at my house. Here's the invite, you should come." Then the girls turned around and walked away giggling and talking quietly.

I looked at the bright pink lettering on the green card. It said, You are invited to a party at Jasmine Marty's house 6742 F street South of Val dost a, Georgia. Starts at 11:00 P.m. Don't miss it. I shoved the little note in pocket and walked to History class with Mrs. Jones. While In was on my free time I grabbed a extra piece of paper and a mechanical pencil and began to sketch a wolf howling at moon next to a waterfall. While I over heard a couple boys talking in a whisper, "Hey do you where Alice is?" one boy asked.

"No why?" another man replied.

"Oh I know why you want to know, it's because if she isn't here than you can't ask her out, then make out with her," I got up and walked over to the boys and grabbed the one who was just talking by the collar of his shirt and shoved him against the wall.

"You think you can take advantage of her just like that! Well I don't think so. You know she's my girlfriend and I won't let anyone like you around her!" The professor walked in and I suddenly dropped him to the floor and sat in my seat as quick as I could. After that it was lunch. I felt so lonely without Alice eating with me. Usually we shared or switch our lunches. But today I was stuck with a sandwich and some juice.

Then another class and another and another. My day was long and cold. After that I went home and my phone buzzed. "Hey Alice. What's up."

She started coughing, "Hey I can't come over later. I'm to sick to move. Sorry." She sounded like her throat was gone.

"Oh well I can I come over than."

"Uh no it's okay. I don't want you getting sick as well." She said it in a hurry like she was hiding something.

"Well hey is it okay if I got to a party tonight."

"Oh who's throwing it?!"

"Suzy and Jasmine."

"Oh if you want to go ahead." She sounded disappointed.

"Nah I'm just kidding I wouldn't do that without you."

"Hey listen I gotta go. Bye." Then we she hung up. I took my shirt off and fell asleep on my bed.

I am so happy that I'm able to sleep in tomorrow. I just loved Saturdays. When I woke up I called Alice, "Hey you feeling better?"

"Yah, do you want to hang out."

"Sure, hey I want to take you to a special place."

"Ya that sounds great."

I started up my blue and white Ford truck and drove over to Alice's house which was dark blue and brown. I walked up to her door in my famous light blue skinny jeans and my red and white striped shirt. The door opened and there stood a Alice in some black combat boots and a short white loose dress. She got into my truck and rolled the windows down and turned the music up. The wind hit her face and hair as she rubbed her hands threw her long curly hair.

After a limitless bit of driving we ended up at the train tracks that was next to a quiet calm sea. Alice loved it here, it was her escape zone when she felt like she had to get away. She sat down on the tracks and looked into the distance. Meanwhile I held a ring in my pocket. "Hey Alice," I whispered I didn't think she heard me.
"Hey Tristan, I need to tell you something important."
I dropped the ring in my pocket and put my hand on the aide of my leg. "Yeah what is it?"
"Well I just want to say if anything happens to me don't be afraid or sad and just move on without me."
"What does that mean?!"
"Nothing I'm just saying that I don't want you to worry about me if something happens." It was while till she spoke again, "I want to, go home if you don't mind."
After got in my truck I glanced at her in disbelief while took a quick glance at me and back out the window.
It was a long quiet trip to her house. But when we got there she gave a quick kiss on my cheek and ran to her door without a glance back. O wanted to go after her but her dad Mr. Donnie, walked to my truck. "Hi sir is something wrong?"
"Do you want to go get a bite? You drive and I'll pay for the meal."
"Uh sure Sir. Jump in, where do you want to go?"
"Lets go to Starbuck's , you cool with that?" I nodded and started the trick again.
Once we got to Starbucks I ordered a latte and Mr. Donnie got a ice coffee.
"So sir what did you want to talk about?"
"Well its Alice, she's been acting really weird. She told us that if anything happens to me don't worry. Then she wouldn't talk to us for a long time."
"She told me that today."
Buzz buzz ring buzz "Hello? What! When! Okay we'll be there as fast as we can." He hung up the phone and looked at me with tear filling eyes, "Its Alice, she's gone." My eyes filled with tears and and we ran to my truck.
