Ghost Boys [bxb]

{Rosalie}

Chapter dedicated to: icedsomnia

The sunlight shone past my eyes as I looked down at the blazing trail ahead of me. My new high school was a little ways past the forest behind my house but at least it saved me the embarrassing feeling of having to walk home with another student. My mind was drained from energy, my eyes were drinking in the painfully bright sunlight that faintly burnt my pale skin. Trees past as shadows flashed before my glassy eyes as my groggy state continued to worsen.

There was a shuffle in the bushes.

My easily distracted mind whipped around but saw nothing. Howling wind shifted past my ears as I continued down the trail to home.

There was another shuffle.

"Alright! Whoever you are I'm not in the mood so go away!"

The thought of being mugged was pointless to me seeing as I have nothing valuable on me. I'd gladly let someone take these pointless worksheets off my hands.

"Eep!"

A feminine voice ringed behind me. Was I hearing things? I looked around for anything that told me otherwise. As if on cue a brown fuzz of hair poked out of the bushes.

"I-I'm sorry! Please help me I'm stuck,"

The same feminine voice pleaded.

"Why should I help some stalker?"

"I swear I'm not stalking you, I just didn't want to be seen,"

"Something a stalker would say, bye."

"No please!"

"I'm kidding come on,"

I made my way to the brown haired "stalker" and extended my hand in aid. There in front of my stood a short girl with seagreen eyes covered by fluffy brown bangs, wait a minute...

"Thanks! The name's Rosalie, I've seen you in school you're the new kid right?"

Was this the person Dimitri met?

"You're my stalker, shouldn't you already know the answer?,"

"Hey listen man I was not stalking you, I walk this way as well,"

"Great,"

"You know, since we're both outcasts in school we should become friends!"

"How do you know that, I have a ton of friends already,"

I lied. In truth I had no intention of making friends at school, it was pointless to me seeing as I spend my time sulking and crying my heart out to my neighbour, I'd have no time to spend with my "friends."

"Oh yeah definitely I bet their laser sonic glares play a part, don't be stupid nobody talks to you,"

"Thanks for the reminder,"

"No problemo, so what's your damage? Mine is having two dads. It's not so bad actually but everyone thinks I'm lesbian... They're actually right I'm a raging homosexual, I guess I just hate that they assume first because of my dads,"

Good luck getting a date with this one Dimitri.

"You have two dads?"

"Oh great, if you're homophobic get on with it and stab me in the middle of the forest nobody could ever find me here!"

"No I swear I'm not I just- I only have one mom, I wonder what having two dads must feel,"

"It sucks when you're the only one bleeding out of your vagina, I mean can you just imagine the first time I saw blood dripping down my legs!"

"Ew no please don't say anything else,"

"My dad called 911! Freakin 911!"

"That must have been fun,"

"Fantastic!"

"So if you walk this way too why didn't I see you this morning?"

"I walk earlier than everyone, so I won't have to deal with assholes,"

"You're really committed,"

"Anything to smell fresh air and not the scent of pure asshats,"

"And what do I smell like to you?"

"Not scent but sight, you look like you've seen a fucking ghost! Are you trying to look like you carry IKEA tote bags under your eyes because it's really unappealing, and that's coming from a lesbian,"

"Wow no but thanks for your insight,"

"Do you even sleep?"

"I get that a lot,"

"Oh sorry I won't push it anymore... Hey if you're like the next Edward Cullen you wanna hangout with me tomorrow night?"

"Hangout? And Edward Cullen?"

"He doesn't sleep, anyways there's this place called The Red Fever horrible name I know, kids from school like to go there from time to time, I'm not invited but fuck that someone there probably has weed,"

"You're insane,"

"-ly hilarious, so yes or no?"

"I'll think about it,"

"God when girls say that in cliche chick
flick movies it's always a yes so pick me up at 9 by the small playscape and we're good,"

"Do I look like a cliche chick flick movie to you?"

"No you look like you hate my guts so if you bail on me by sleeping I won't get mad; I'd celebrate by shoving brownies down my throat,"

"I don't think I can go, I've got a bio test I need to study for,"

I lied through my teeth, I'm not planning on leaving Dimitri alone, who knows what trouble he'll get into?

"You're missing a party so you can study? Smart but sad and demented my friend,"

I can see why Dimitri likes her.
