Lilac
5:14 amRing! Ring! Screamed by my alarm clock- now I know thats cliché. Then, I'll groan and smack or throw my alarm clock away. But, nah. Im different. First of all I don't use alarm clocks not because I can wake up everyday not feeling those regrets about going to school but because I have my own mom.
She always screams in my front door saying "Lilac get your eyes!" or like "Lilac wake up or i'll throw water on your face!" And with a dramatic voice- of course.
"Mom what is this?" I look at her while pointing at my so called food. Everything's green. Maybe the food's name is 'yuck' or 'gross' or 'ew'. "That's soup, sweetheart." She smiles.
"Really?" I look back at my food once more. "Yes. Eat it or you'll be late for school."Yes, just my mom forcing me to eat a leaf.
-
I turn the engine off and get out of my car. I lock it and walk straight ahead to my locker. I grab all the books that I will need for today. Suddenly, some jerk calls my name. I look back and it's Grey.
"Oh hi day." I purposely say his name wrong, knowing the fact that he is my friend's ex and my boyfriend's rival in basketball."Um its Grey, actually." He purses his lips. "Ok Prey what do you want?" I cross my arms together. He take out a folded paper from his bagpack and hand it to me. I examine the decorations on it. "You are invited to my party. Where the word 'fun' originated from." He smirk. "Yah the word only. I guess the feeling of 'fun' would not be there." I smirk back. "Just go to my party, slut." He rolls his eyes. "How about just go and get a life, idiot." I glare at him and walk away like a queen.
I head to my classroom and sit next to my new classmate, Olivia Hinder.
Olivia has a short black hair, round hazel eyes and flawless tan skin.-
I grab my tray and look for Leo. "Hey Lilac wanna join us?" A girl with a cheer dance clothes says. I smile and just decline her offer nicely as possible.
I continue looking for Leo then a bunch of weirdos, I mean Grey's 'friends' ask me if I can join them. "No. Sorry." I decline and keep on looking for Leo.
Minutes later, not even a single sign of him is seen by me. So I sit and eat my lunch on the empty-unsocialized-idk table and text my boyfriend.
Me: Where are you?
Few seconds later he replies with:
'At home feeling sick.'
Me: get well soon. I'll visit you there later.
Leo: Ok, I can't wait to see you.-
"Class, you're dismissed." I immediately fix my things and walk to the parking lot. I turn my engine on and drive to Leo's house. After few stops and turns, I finally reach his house. I knock at the glazed door three times. His mom opens it and welcomes me in her house. I greeted her politely and walk upstairs and knock at Leo's door.
"Lac is that you?!" Leo shouts. "What if I say no." I giggle. "Then you are not welcome here!" He responds. "Well ok Leo it is I, your love." I laugh,
'it is I, your love' is my favorite line from our play in our school when we were in middle school, I was a girl who fell in love with a guy who lost his memories that was played by Leo. The door opens immediately by him. "Of course I know that. Your voice is always angelic and sweet." He smiles widely while grabbing my waist, pulling me near him for a hug. His scent gets me everytime.
I walk inside his room and lock it. His body's temperature is so hot. Probably fever. "You're so hot Brooks." I say while touching his hand. "Thank you." He smiles like a child. "No. I mean your body's temperature." I laugh."So what did you do in school?" He asks. "Well, nothing really." The silence fills the air. "But I did receive an invitation by..."
"By whom?" He asks curiously. "Grey." I answer.
"Do you want to go or not?" He asks. "Nah. I won't."
He chuckles and fix his hair.-
I am currently dying with numbers right now. Homework are the worst things ever. Why can't I just get a job and get rich afterwards? I take a quick glance at my phone and its 9:38 pm already. I sigh. I turn the page and answer the next problematic problems of math. My phone vibrates and it's a caller... Olivia. I answer it with "hello?"
"Hello Lilac can you fetch me here please my driver's nowhere to be seen and the guys are molesting me, help." She whispers through the phone. My eyebrows knit together, "where are you?" I ask.
"Grey's party." Then she ends it. I quickly take the invitation and check the address and change my clothes. I ask permission to my mom and get out of the house.
I drive to Grey's house.10:37 pm
Few minutes of floating in the air, I see the house of the chicken. The loud music is consuming the whole area and the colorful lights are covering everything.
Grey's red gate is open so I decide to just go in. I walk to the front door and knock. Seconds later, the door opens itself. I push myself inside and hear nothing but silence and see nothing but darkness. "Olivia." My voice echoes everywhere. "Olivia!" I shout.
All of the sudden, someone covers my eyes with a cloth and drag me to who knows where.
I keep on screaming until I feel a slap on my cheek.I can hear giggles. Are they joking me or something? Someone take the cloth of my eyes and I see Olivia, Grey, his friends, girls that I don't know and Lucas.
"Explain this Olivia." I say while breathing heavily. "I'm so sorry." She whispers. "You believe in things easily, babe." Grey laugh with the others except for Lucas, Leo's friend.
I stand up and brush the dirt out of my pants. "I can't believe you lied to me." I glare at her. I want to get out of here.
"I'm gonna go now." I add. "You can't." Lucas stands up. The atmosphere gets cold. "Are you kidding me?" I almost laugh. "You're gonna get yourself killed." He speaks."Then, who in the whole wide world dragged me here huh? If you can drag me here, I can get out of here." I say bravely. "It weren't us who dragged you here..." He mutters.
"Then who?" I ask impatiently.
"It was the killer."-
The time is running
The blood is dripping
He screams for help
It stabs him with a knife
And he painfully yelp
And the thing that dies
Is his precious life
