Toxic

Chapter 5- Totally Terrible Times

Kory opened the white blinds. "And... Kalel's here." He said, sipping his Coca-cola. Riley ran into the kitchen. Drake querked an eyebrow. "You. Riley. Kitchen. Why?" He mumbled. Riley looked up from behind the peeling white counter. "Hiding..." he said, looking away from the ice-blue eyes that stalked his movements. Drake shrugged. Kory opened the door to two beautiful girls. One had long, blonde hair that was wrapped round her light blue hood. She had a white scarf and brown eyes. The other had light brown hair with mint tips and flowy side-bangs. Her eyes were aqua and she had a lime green Bench jacket with black leggings. Kalel's aqua eyes looked at them. "Hey," she said, showing them her perfect white teeth. "I missed you guys." Crystal only rolled her eyes. Kalel looked at her and gave her a slight nod, to which she rolled her eyes. "Yea... Umm... We saw you guys run away from where the explosion was."  She muttered. Drake winked at Crystal, who rolled her brown eyes and flipped her hair. Kalel made an all-too-real sarcastic glance at them. "Heh..." she said under her breath. Alex smiled at her. "Hey Kalel!" he said, shoving his iphone in his pocket. She smiled at him and took her hair out of her high ponytail. "I missed you Alex. Where's Riley?" Alex looked around the room. "I have no idea... About the explosion... did you-" Kalel sat on the couch. "It... went through the window. I, uh, i caught some of it in my mouth..." she said, looking at the floor and sighing. Alex leaned over to her. "Did you choke? are you ok? Did you notice anything-" "Strange?" Alex nodded. Kalel looked at Crystal, who was leaning against the living room wall with her jacket and scarf off, having only white shorts and an ice-blue tank-top. 

Kalel took off her jacket and set it behind her. Her long, turquoise shirt went well with her mint feather earings. She looked at the counter and saw vodka. Smiling, she walked over to it. "Hey Riley," she exclaimed as she sheepishly looked over it, dark blue meeting aqua. He sat up off the floor. "It's been awhile." he told her. She nodded, a light giggle making it's way through her peach lips. "Yes, it has been. That's quite the re-introduction though." she said, smiling as he poured another glass of vodka and handed it to her. She smiled and drank some. Riley saw emerald eyes staring at them. Alex narrowed his eyes into a glare. 'Sorry,' Riley mouthed and Alex rolled his eyes, looking at his phone under the black cover with: PAN!C written in green letters. "So, you and Crys decided to see us?" Kory said, leaning on the counter. Kalel nodded. "I was hit by the green stuff but... Crystal..." Drake sat across the table behind them. "What happened to Crystal?" Kalel drank more vodka and sighed. 

"Crystal's on drugs. Her dealer gave her 'liquid weed' and it was the toxic stuff..." She said, sighing. Drake's crystal eyes widened at that response. Crystal walked into the kitchen, an un-lit chocolate cigarette in her hand. "You told 'em about it?" she said, in her slight jersey accent. Kalel sighed. "It seemed like the right thing to do." she complied, looking at her blonde friend. Kory glared at her. "Can't say much about dumb, drug-dealing blondes." he chuckled. She shot him a glare. "Shut up, screw-up." she said, placing it between her cherry-red lips. "It was in a needle. It required no drinking." Drake gave a thoughtful look to them. "Still," he said, smiling. "Liquid weed... Makes you see flying whales and palm trees and stuff right?" he asked Crystal she smirked. "Oh yes. You turn into a straight rainbow. Like, it's amazing..." she said, smiling at all of them.
