Hell Above

Chapter 2

So, today went well, I don't have any homework, besides our project in History. So, me being the snoopy little boy that I am, I decided I'm going to go to Karma's house and see if she was home. Honestly it September 11th, who actually has stuff to do on 9/11? That's just weird..

So, when I got out of school, I GPS her house and made my happy little way over there. It actually wasn't too far from my house. We aren't in the same subdivision, but there's a way I can cut through to get to her house.

When I got to her house, I knocked on the door and waited. After about 2 minutes of waiting, someone finally answered the door.

"Umm, is Karma here.?" I asked awkwardly looking up at the man (?) standing in front of me.

He was about 6'3 and had short curly hair but it looked like a mohawk that just got too long. he had a septum ring and a labret lip piercing. He wore dark coloured clothes and he had spiked cuffs around his wrists. He definitely scared me.

"Yes.." He said in suspicion, "But she doesn't ever have anyone over on September 11th.."

"Oh.." I awkwardly coughed thinking of an excuse, "We have a History project we are working on together.. She gave me the address and told me to meet her here after school."

I wasn't lying, she did give me the address, and she did say to meet her after school; I just left out the part where she told me not today.

He nodded slowly, "Okay.. She's in her room, down the hall second door on the right." He stated.

I smiled and walked in behind him. He sat down on the couch and I made my way to the room that he directed me to.

When I knocked on the door it was quiet, so I knocked again.

"Blade, just leave me alone please.." I heard very quietly on the other side of the door.

"Karma?" I asked, hardly recognizing her voice.

I heard some ruffling around, then the door opened. The small blonde girl stood in front me with a tear stained face.

"Serenity.?" She croaked up, "I thought I said not today..?"

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine." she slightly sniffed and put her hand in the back of her pants, trying to act cool.

"Well, I didn't have anything to do.." I said trying to avoid the awkward situation in front of us,  "So, I thought maybe if you weren't too busy we can start working on our project.."

She stood quietly as I waited for an answer but was once again, disappointed.

"You look like you could use a hug.." I mumbled.

She sniffed and before I could move her small body lunged forward and she was hugging me. I hugged her back and we made our way in this hug, into her room. As soon as we got the door shut we sat on her floor, and just hugged.

"Thank you.." She said, finally pulling away.

"It's not a problem.." I said awkwardly.

"Well, you're a dick." She stated getting up angrily.

"What the fuck?" I was so confused.. Bipolar much.

"I told you not today." She huffed, "And, you didn't listen. I don't understand why you think shit just goes your way. If someone asks you not to do something, why the heck would you do it?!"

"I was curious." I answered honestly.

"Well, it's none of your business." She firmly stated, and crossed her arms.

"Well, are we working on our project or not..?" I asked awkwardly.

"No," She answered, "You can meet me here tomorrow, like said before , I have things to do today."

"But-"

"Out." She interrupted.

"Okay.." I said as I awkwardly walked out.

Walking out I felt very awkward and unwelcomed, the guy I assume is Blade, looked at me with a slight smirk as if he was holding back a laugh.
