Destruction's Child

Chapter 3

I walk inside and find my dad setting the plates with pasta on the table, "smells great in here," Kara says as she walks in after me. "You girls need to go wash your hands so you can eat," dad tells us as he takes the drinks out of the refrigerator.

Kara and I go to the restroom next to the living room. "Kara, don't say anything to dad about the guy at the park, just pretend like nothing happened, I don't want him asking questions," I instruct Kara, "what guy?" A smirk appears on Kara's face and we dry our hands with the towel on the bar.

"So, how was the walk?" dad asks, "it was okay, nothing unusual," I respond as I take a bread from the white plate in the center of the table. "Dad, what are we doing tomorrow?" Kara asks before taking a bite of her bread, "well, I was wondering if Nina could drive to the mall or whatever stores you girls want to go to, you know, school clothes," dad reminds us, "if there is even a mall around here," Kara says in a low tone, "of course there is one, Kara. It's just a couple of minutes aways, maybe like twenty or thirty minutes?" dad says assuring Kara, "twenty or thirty minutes?" I ask surprised, "that's not too far I guess," Kara says. "I mean, we don't have to buy much, I just need like three or four shirts and Kara might want some jeans," I say eating the last of my bread. "Yeah, maybe some new socks and undergarments," Kara says looking down at her 'white' almost grey socks, "alright well, do you girls have enough money?" dad asks, "yeah, we have enough, you know we don't really buy expensive things," I tell him. I'm worried that he will want us to be happy by giving us money, "yeah, I know you girls aren't like that," my dad says as he takes the last bite out of his pasta.

We finished our dinner and then each one of us washed our own plates, then Kara and I headed upstairs to shower. "Kara, are you gonna shower first or are you gonna wait 'till I'm out?" I ask as I stand at the entrance of her room, "you can shower first, I need to fold some clothes," she continues to fold her jeans as neatly as possible. I returned back to my room and retrieved the clean underwear and bra from the top drawer. I went to the restroom and locked the door behind me and proceeded to get undressed. I hopped into the shower and turned the hot water on. I took the shampoo and massaged it into my hair and then rinsed it. "Welcome to North Grove, Nina," the words kept repeating in my head over and over again. Just the way that he said my name, it was just so, I don't even know how to explain the way it lingered off his lips. And those eyes, God, those eyes are so beautiful, the way they shined under the moonlight. He was the hottest guy that had seen in ages. And he was so mysterious. He was just so-

"Nina, you almost done?" Kara asked knocking on the door. Ugh! Are you serious? Why? "Yeah, just let me change really quick, five minutes," I say as i rinse the rest of my body off under the hot water. I pat my body dry and change into my clothes as fast as I can. Quickly, I wrap my hair in the towel and then I brush my teeth for about a minute and a half and rinse.

"Nina, come o-," I swing open the door before Kara is able to finish her sentence, "sorry Kara, I was thinking about something," I apologize, "is that 'something' the mysterious boy? Nina, you can't ju-," I interrupt her. "No, it's not him," I lie but I know she's not buying it, "okay whatever." I head towards my room and open the door. I take the towel off the top of my head and hang it behind the door.

"What am I going to wear tomorrow?" I say to myself unconsciously. I walk to my closet and take out my favorite boyfriend jeans, a nice black and white striped shirt that is slightly tight and that I like to wear with a flanner, and lastly, I take out my low white converse. I set the clothes on top of a chair in the corner of my room.

I hope school is just as fun here as it was back home. I don't want to be known just as the new girl. But, I also don't want to be popular or the person that everyone just seems to think they know everything about. Maybe like two or three friends are fine, I don't want a big friend group, that is if I even make any friends. I hope Kara like this school, too. I hope that she finds someone that will like her for who she is, not what she looks like. She can be a handful sometimes but, she is very funny and nice and she is really pretty. Yeah, I'm her sister and it might be weird that I express myself about her like that but, it's the truth. She takes good care of her body, she has beautiful light brown hair, these huge greenish hazel eyes, and really nice facial features. Oh, she'll do fine, I'm sure but, as to me, not really. I'm so quiet and shy but I'm sure Destiny and Claire would say otherwise. They know me so well and I don't know if I'll ever find anyone else like them, they're irreplaceable. Ugh, I miss them so much it exhausting.

"Hey, can you girls talk?" I type then send the text to the groupchat.

"Yeah, of course" they reply almost right away

"Great" I'm happy to hear, I've been wanting to call for a while. I dial the number and the phone starts to ring. Come on pick up guys.

"Hello?" Destiny and Claire both say at the same time. "Hey, how are you girls?" I ask, "Tired and hungry," Claire responds, "same," Destiny adds. After catching up for a bit I start to tell them about the encounter with the mysterious boy. "Names are overrated? Hm, he sounds mysterious," Claire says, sounding a little intrigued, "No, weirdo alert, stay away at all costs!" Destiny yells into the phone. "He sound super cute, too," Claire adds, her words are starting to sound a little more 'slurred', she sounds tired. "Claire, are you tired?" I ask giggling a bit. "Yeah, can you tell?" She asks and I know she's about to pass out at any minute, "Yes, get your butt to sleep, I'll call tomorrow," I assure her, "Okay fine, love ya'll, goodnight," she says, "love you, too. Goodnight," both Destiny and I say at the same time. Claire hangs up and now it just Destiny and I.

"So what about this guy?" Destiny asks, I'm not sure what she means and she knows, "what do you think about him?" Oh, God no! Why? "Well, I mean he's cute and mysterious what else do you want me to say?"

"Nina, you there?" I hear someone whisper from the balcony doors, "Destiny, I got to go, call you tomorrow?" I say as I walk across the room towards the doors, "okay, yeah, love you." She hangs up.

"Who's there?" I ask before opening the door. "It's me, mysterious boy or whatever you called me. Open up," oh, God, what the hell is he doing here?
