Love Comes in Many Ways.

The Beginning☆

Penelope✄:

The charming of the alarm woke me up from a strange dream of me in the shower and using the water in the tub to clean me since the tub filled up too high. That was pretty disgusting. I stay in bed, dreading to go back to "prison". I honestly can't stand school, but if it's gonna be able to get me somewhere in life then might as well try it.

After I'm out of the shower, I dress in light washed jeans and a cute shirt I got from Hawaii that says "Mermaid in Hawaii" with a mermaid that was drawn. It's honestly so adorable and makes me bubbly inside. My hair is already curled from the day before, so I just run my fingers through it to make it look decent. I have this unhealthy obsession with hair and nails. Maybe I'll go into cosmetology someday.

My dad usually takes me to school since he starts about the same time as I do, and I'm petrified of driving. I just can't go through with it. My mom has early shifts practically every day so I usually don't see her until after school. I like to get to school at least 5 minutes early so I can grab my seat and mentally prepare myself for the shit day ahead of me.

The empty, sinking feeling comes back every time I walk through those glass doors. The darkness takes over me and makes me someone I'm not. Someone I never wanted to be. It's something you can't control as much as you want to. You're confused on why you feel this way. What made you feel this way but can't remember or realize what caused it. You're slowly drowning in your own tears, surrounded by the screams that no one hears, hiding behind that mask no one seems to bother to ask about. You put on your best fake smile and go on with the day, no questions asked....

Most days I don't do anything during my free period unless if I'm feeling productive which is hardly to never. I like to listen to the kids that play in the music room. There's this group of boys that get together and practice. I guess they're trying to make it as a band together. It's cute. And no, I don't have a crush on the lead singer/guitarist. I think he may be attractive, but that doesn't mean I'm crushing on him!

Okay, shut up I am crushing. I'm a teenage girl. Let me live! His shaggy hair with shaved sides fits his bone structure so well, his green eyes were bright and would sparkle whenever he would smile. He was amazing....

Okay maybe I started coming because I wanted to see him, but no one knows that.

"You came again!" Julien exclaimed after the song they finished practicing.

"Of course. I love hearing you guys jam out." My smile couldn't have gotten any bigger.

Julien grinned, swiveling around in his chair as he waited for his bandmates to get situated for their next song. "It's nice having a cute girl around watching us."

Holy shit, he just called me cute.

"Oh hush, Julien. I'm not gonna become a groupie to the band." I joked with a laugh.

His laugh always made my heart skip a beat.

"No, I'm being serious. Ever since we first noticed you coming and watching us, I thought you were really cute. Still are."

Can he not? I feel my heart wanting to jump out my chest and run away.

"Julien, that's really sweet of you," I said shyly while biting my lip. Is this a dream? I think I might pass out.

"Maybe... we can hang out sometime?" H asked, a slight blush on his cheeks. I'm screaming. He's blushing. Someone send help!

"Yes! I'd... I'd uh really like that." I bite my lip from embarrassment.

I watched Julien slid closer to me, pulling out a sharpie from his pocket and hold my arm as he wrote down his number. My body was tense at his light touch. I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe or speak. I felt so... nervous.

"Text me, okay?" He flashed a smile before waving and jamming out again.

I almost sat there and stared at the boy before I mentally cursed myself out and waved back. I couldn't wait to go home and dance around like a maniac. This shitty day suddenly turned into a better one. I feel like I can't get any more happier than this.

Violet☾:

Today was more of a normal day than most. I hung out with a couple of friends, chilled and talked about class. They usually talk about gossip or who annoyed them this time. However, I talk about the coursework. They get on my ass on why I talk boring shit even though they end up getting sucked into the conversation. Yeah, school isn't the greatest thing, but I enjoy learning about new things.

I hang out after school for about an hour to study before I head home. It keeps me focused so I can get shit out of the way. My friends hang out at my place after school because they don't have lives. We usually stick together and try to enjoy life to its fullest. My friend Julien is in a "band", and I like to help him write some of their songs. It's a hidden talent of mine and I'd like to keep it that way.

"How was practice today? You guys still sound like shit?"

"HA! Very funny, Violet. We sound great actually. Thanks." I enjoyed when he would get so butthurt. He's such an emotional guy.

"I actually met a girl. Her name is Penelope, and she comes to our rehearsals a lot, but I finally asked her out today." He stuck his tongue out as he waited for a high five.

I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"Don't break the poor girl's heart. I know you musicians are in it just for the sex."

"Not true! She's really sweet and cute and I really wanna get to know her," He had a grin spread across his face. I didn't think his eyes could get any greener.

"Well, I'm sure you two will be cute together. What did you say her name was again?"

"Penelope La Rosa, I think. She's actually in my English class, but we talk when she watches us play."

"Doesn't sound familiar." I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to picture the girl.

"Maybe we can have double dates!"

I'm dating the drummer from Julien's little band. His name's Shawn and he's really sweet. We've been dating for a couple of months. I might not seem like the dating type; however, I still have feelings!

"Yeah, we'll see about that. Shawn's weird around new people."

"Is that why he messes up when she watches us?"

I giggled, shaking my head and getting off the couch. " Alright, everyone out. He's coming."

"Don't be silly, don't forget to wrap his willy!"

I smacked Julien's head before kicking him out of my house. He really is annoying. How do I keep up with him?

I know a lot of people from school, but I don't know this Penelope girl. She must hide in the dark corners with the freaks. Okay, that was rude I'm sorry. My mouth doesn't have a filter. I need to fix that.

I like meeting new people so it should be fun. I usually try to fill this void I have with distracting myself with other people. I never really had a great childhood. My parents suck, to say the least. Even though I talk to many people, none really "fill" that empty hole in my heart. Shawn can help at times, but I still find myself feeling empty when I'm alone. When am I gonna find that one thing that'll make me want to get through anything? Is there anything that'll do that for me?
