OBSESSION Chapter 1
I walk into school, everyone is waving at me. It is tough being this popular but someone has to do it. Boys run up to me shyly smirking asking if I am free later that night or to come to a party they are throwing. I brush them off with a "I'll think about it " or " Let me check my schedule". As I walk up the stairs a breeze comes to blow my hair perfectly ... Then I woke up. Damn that was a good dream. Too bad its not even close to the truth but that is the fun of dreams. Its 8:43am. Oh no,I need to get ready. My hairs a mess, I left my contacts in last night so my eyes hurt. Today, I am going to be a women, Today is the greatest day of my life, Today is the day that everything will change, today is my 18th birthday. Well that is what everyone is telling me. Magazines, Movies, even my parents. I guess its pretty cool. I was drawing out tattoos I might get, but haven't really decided on what I want on my body for the rest of my life. Meh I have plenty of time to think of that, now what to wear. I think I am going to wear something cute, without trying to hard. After getting ready and descending the stairs there on the kitchen table was my favorite breakfast spread. My eyes fill with excitement.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! " My family yelled.
"Thanks hehe" I said
"Pen you are all grown up " Mom said nostalgically
"That's what happens as time goes by " I said matter of factually
"Here you go " My brother Jack said as he handed me an ill wrapped present, but that means he wrapped it instead of having mom do it for him so that made me smile.
"Thanks bro" I said
"That's from me too" Zack yelped as he stacked his plate with pizza eggs and chocolate chip pancakes.
Yes my younger brothers are identical twins named Zack and Jack, I don't know what my parents were thinking, it was funny at first but now it just gets troublesome.
I sat down and loaded my plate with a little of everything. Pancakes, bacon , a little bit of an nomelet. I ate till I was substantially full.
"Thank you Family" I said making a special nod to my parents who obviously did a majority of the work.
"Open our present" The twins said harmoniously.
As I tore through the 12 layers of wrapping paper, after taking off the final layer to reveal a book I said I wanted.
"Thank you very much" I said to the boys.
"We remember you said you wanted that book when you took us to the mall that one time" Zack said proudly
"That is very sweet and kind of you brothers" I said
Today was turning out to be a pretty good day. After breakfast, I was told not to participate in the cleaning up activities and that my present from them was coming later. So I went upstairs and hopped online. The social media sites were flooded with birthday wishes, and I sat there wondering who would actually know my birthday if there wasn't a little notification , or my birthday plastered right there in my info. Well no point in dwelling, today is a good day. My best friend Ethel, No she is not 80 she just has parents who thought it would be nice to name her after her great great great grandma, called me.
"Hey there birthday girl, How are you? Ethel said
"Good, actually great, how are you Eth? I said
"I am doing well, we are still hanging out later?"
"Of course, still not telling me where we are going?
"You know it haha , Don't worry I am ... pretty sure you will like it "
"PRETTY SURE? You know me so well so I better like it"
"You will, relax miss Birthdayzilla"
"haha okay well I am going to chillax, see you in a bit"
"Okay see you"
Right as I hung up I got a text from Seth " Happy birthday, I was going to give you more beauty but you are at the max already" . I read it and smiled, Seth is so smooth. We had physics class together last semester which is required for a Senior to take and it took him most of the semester to ask me on a date. We have been dating for about a month and he is amazing. I replied to his text message " Thanks sugar pie, I am hanging out with Eth for a little while but maybe we can hang out tonight after that if you want" I hit send, and just laid on my bed absorbing how great the day is, stopping and smelling the roses if you will. My bed was so comfy and it was a perfect July afternoon, Little clouds floated by it was about 76 degrees out and a slight breeze. I could not ask for a better day. I slipped into a dream rather quickly because the conditions were perfect for a nap. I was running a race, I was in the lead , I was blowing the competition away, it was a great feeling, the finish line was in site I ran across and I heard bells and whistles and I believe in a thing called love by The Darkness ... wait that's my phone's ring tone. I wake up and answer groggily.
"hello" I push out hoarsely
"I am about 5 minutes out " Says Eth excitedly
"Okay, I will be ready"
I quickly ran a brush through my hair, gave myself a quick check in the mirror, good to go. Eth honked the horn of her cherry red Chrysler Sebring convertible. I ran down the stairs and said a quick "Later" to the family. They told me the usual have a good time and be safe. I looked back quick and they had a odd smirk on their face, I figured they just told a joke or something and thought nothing of it. I walked toward the car, and saw Eth. She is blond and gorgeous, we have been friends forever and get along great,I love our friendship.
"Hey, Eth"
"Hey, Pen"
"Put this on" Ethel says while handing me a blindfold.
"Really is this necessary" I protest while slipping it on.
"Where are we going?"
"Uhh it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you"
"Yeah that's true"
I sat back and enjoyed the breeze and the weather and listened to some Zox.
