GIRLS

CHAPTER 2

Rest of the day went by quickly.

When I came home, my mom as usual welcomed me. My house was a small one.

I entered my room and sat on the bed whilst I observed my room.

It was small with a bed to one wall, a table and a chair for my studies lyed in the corner and just besides my bed was the most precious thing I've ever owned in my life.

A bookshelf filled with books I loved.
Four parts of Twilight Saga , a novel of scarlet, three books from the series of infernal devices,and six books of the mortal instruments, another one of anything for you ma'am, and six books of the house of night series, and two of my favorite author The kite runner , and the mountains echoed.

Looking at them while I lay in my bed, I felt an extreme need for them. No matter how many times I read them I could feel the same flutter in my stomach when I read the lines that Edward said to Bella. I felt the same sympathy for starlet when her husband abondened her even though she loved him more than anything. I fell for William herondele and james carstairs everytime I read tessa describe them. I understood jace and Clary when they were miserable to know that they were brother and sister. I felt like a knife pearce my heart when the girl in house of night series lost her friends faith in her and also felt the confusion she felt when she had to choose between her human almost -ex-boyfriend , her vampire -best -boyfriend and her protector red vampire -to -be -boyfriend. And atlast I also felt my throat choke when I read from the kite runner every word of it made me feel the lump in my throat. While reading' and the mountains echoed ' I couldn't stop the tears blurring my site overflow down my cheeks all I felt was the pain of a brother for loosing his sister and I can't really describe the feeling I get when he says that his sister was gifed that she was too small and would forget him but he could never really forget her a single second of his life.

I reached up closing my eyes and took whatever book came to my hand off the shelf . I took it and curled around it as if I could get inside. Slowly thinking about the books I drifted to sleep the last thing I remember I saw was Erick's face.

Wait WHAT! Erick?! I opened my eyes and I was still in my room. But it was evening time by then.

I stood up and yawing went downstairs. Mom must have gone to the grocery shop.

Then I heard my stomach groan. That's when I realised that I had only eatten some salad in the canteen and nothing after that. So I searched for something in the fridge and to my luck I found a chocolate cake. I cut a piece for myself and slid on the chair at the dining table.

I finished my cake soon so decided to go around and explore a little. I'd seen a garden on my way home.

I quickly put on a pink skirt and a white top. Taking my jacket I left the house and was soon in the park. I passed laughing children, parents sitting, and couples walking.

I then heard the sound. The sound of flowing water. There must be a lake somewhere here.

I half walked half ran towards the sound.

When I was on the edge of the stream, I was panting. I was amongst trees .it was beautiful here. I felt protected by the way the trees seemed to bend around me. The water was cold and crystal clear, the sun sparkled in it as it hit a rock nearby.

I lay in the cold grass closing my eyes. For the first time after we came here I felt calm.

The sunlight I felt through my closed eyes was bloked suddenly. Someone was standing over me.

My eyes flew open and i blinked at the intensity of the sun. I sat bolt upright and turned my head to see who was standing there.

There was a boy . He looked like 17 he had blue eyes and blond hairs. He smiled and it was angelic. His eyes lightened up with it.

"you're the new girl from our class ain't you? " he said.

I gave him a confused look and said, "yeah. But I'm sorry I didn't really recognize you."

He chuckled and mumbled something to himself that sounded like 'idiotic me'
"

I'm sorry but you probably don't know me.hii I'm Alexander. I'm in chemistry class with you. And this is my favorite place to come to when I need to feel calm. Can I sit with you? "

"yes" I said as what he said sunk into me.

He sat besides me. "my name's Aphrodite. Maybe you won't have known. "

He smiled to that, "yeah I didn't. "

I couldn't hold my curiosity back "So what are you so depressed about " I said and immediately regretted it.

When he didn't reply quickly, I looked at my hands and said, " I'm sorry to ask you about it. It's okay if you don't tell me. "

Then I looked at him, he looked at the water in front. His eyes looked distinct. I knew he was thinking about the thing he was depressed about .

He looked at me and said, his voice serious," I have a long story. Would you mind listening to it? I think it would be good if I tell someone. "

I smiled, "I guess I'm already in love with stories so go on just throw it out of your heart. "

He smiled but it didn't touch his eyes. His eyes were sad, "I was born in a rich family. But business was more important to my parents than me.
I was always ignored. All I could do was be alone in a house a beautiful as a dollhouse. But I didn't want a big house all I wanted was love. All my hopes were in my sister. She was a year elder then me. But all she did was show off her friends and try and find ways to be girlfriend of the boy I hated the most. He never really noticed my sister no matter how pretty she looked. All he did was flirt with every girl possible.

" He was the reason I lost my sister. But I had some hope that she would change someday. She never did. I lost all the remaining hopes when I entered secondray classes. I would be bullied around by that boy and she used to stand at his side and mock me. I started hating them both after that. I mingled with commoner students and as much as possible ignored them.

"I hate only two things the most - life and MY life. So I'm always depressed. "
This time he looked at me and smiled.
"so if you want to find me, I'm always here. "

I smiled back, "would you hear me. I too have a long story. "

"yeah why not you're welcomed to throw your heart at me. I'll never let it fall. " he said.

My head snapped up, " w-what? "

"I mean that you can throw what ever you have to say I'll hear you. " he smiled nervously.

"my life is a mystery to myself. "I said.
