Miracle

Chapter II

I drop my bag on the couch and take a relaxing moment. Dulce closes the door and throws her bag on our bed.

"Miracle," Dulce addressed me.

"Yes Dulce?" I asked.

"What are we having for dinner?" She questions.

"Well, with my last pay, I got lasagna sheets, so I'll be making that," I reply. Dulce jumps around the room in excitement. Lasagna is one of her favourite dishes with extra cheese. She'd always eat a desert after that but sadly, not this time. I see the clock, saying it's 4:10 pm.

"I'll take a shower and be right back," I tell Dulce.

"Okay," She says. I hang my bag over my back and take off to my room. Since we are living in a apartment, we share rooms so half the room is pink and the other is blue. To be honest, sharing a room with Dulce isn't so bad. I read her stories and she falls asleep, Before 10 pm. Till 2 am, I have time to myself and my phone. Seconds later as I get to the wardrobe to check my outfit, Someone calls me on my phone. It's an unknown number, quite suspicious. I pick up the call and decide to talk.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hi sweetie," The person says.

"Excuse me, Do I know you?" I question.

"Aye, you gave me this number yourself, How wouldn't you know Jenny?" The person says. He sounds... familiar much.

"Well if you didn't recognize me, It's your bro Dom," He says. Dominic?! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING.

"Oh sorry... I'm not Jenny.." I reply, hesitating.

"Oh, sorry about that, But you sound familiar?" He questions me.

"I don't think I know you..." I say and I hang up. I didn't expect to get a call from Dominic right on the first day. Well, of course he didn't know it was me or he would've been ruder. Goodness, Already I got pushed from one of the 'Princes' and the 'Plastics', Generally I'm not good at making friends. At least, Rylee accepted me.

"What's taking so long?!" Dulce exclaims.

"Sorry!" I reply. I rush into the bathroom, leaving the reality behind. 10 minutes later, I'm drying my hair and looking at myself in the mirror. I turn my hand, And the long burnt scar on my right hand is revealed. Just thinking about that situation scares me. It's one of the reasons I wear long sleeved clothes and never show my body.

"Miracle!" Dulce screams.

"Yes?!" I ask.

"Your phone rang again," She says. Please, don't tell me it is Dominic. He's annoying enough, but on the call he seemed different. It's like he holds a wall between anyone and himself accept his family, or maybe just his sister? I check my phone, and surprisingly it was Rylee. I don't remember giving my phone number to her ; Probably she stored it while I gave it to her to hold.

She messaged me : Hey Miracle, Rylee here. Well so I was so bored so I decided to message you. LOL. anyways, we have a dance coming up at school, which I'm pretty sure you don't know about. So I was wondering, wanna come shopping with me? We can get totally cool outfits and be super good looking ya know? Anyways Reply ASAP. Ps. Store my number.

Oh lord, How should I tell her I got no money, or even that I have to take care of my sister, or even the point that I got no mother? There is no way I'll make it to the dance. I mean you only dance with a good outfit, Means wasting money and wasting time until you're meeting someone. Which is clearly out of my status. I am some new girl who not everybody knows about. I'm pretty sure Rylee will be meeting someone. I guess I should reply.
