Lisa comes back with water in her hands. Mom looks at her. Mom takes the glass off Lisa's hand, and gave it to me, she nods at Lisa. I held the glass, the moist particles on the glass drips down my sweaty palm. I inhaled, and exhaled to calm myself down, and then I drank.
"Are you okay now?" Mom asks.
"No... But can Lisa stay with me tonight?" I asked, still shaking.
Mom looks at Lisa. "Please?" I insisted.
Lisa immediately calls her parents, and she nods. Mom looked back at me. She brushed my hair back with her fingers. I gave her a simple smile.
"Okay honey. Tomorrow, if there's someone watching you, give us a call and we'll pick you up at school," she informs me.
I faintly grinned at her. I'm so terrified. Mom and Dad stood up and left. Lisa kneels over to me, and hugs me.
"I promise to never leave you alone like that again," Lisa says to me.
"It's okay, you didn't know it was going to happen," I whispered, quivering.
The next morning. Friday. I'm both happy, and terrified. I'm happy because of me and James being an item, and... I'm still alive. And I'm terrified because of those dreadful eyes... Those yellow eyes... Those menacing eyes... Those killer eyes... I see James, he has worried look in his face, and I look at Lisa.
"Don't you dare mention a thing" I say to her.
She nods, nervously. I fake a smile at him. James sighs in relief. Does he know?! Please don't tell me...
"Oh my goodness, I thought you were going to be sick!" He says.
"Me? Why would I be sick?" this is a legitimate question, why would I be sick?
"Because it was raining outside," he answers, shyly.
"How would I be sick if I never even left house?" I asked him calmly, hiding the panic in my voice.
"How should I know?" He asked, grinning.
Oh thank goodness! He doesn't know. We both laugh it off. My pain was cut in half... I feel protected just by hearing his soft, caring, and gentle voice. The bell rings, I kiss him on the cheek.
"Aww! You stole the first kiss! I was supposed to do that!" He says while holding his cheeks.
"Who says you can't? That’s just a grandma peck kiss," I informed him.
I offer him my cheeks, and he gives me a kiss. We smile at each other and waved.
"See you later!" I yelled.
"Right back at ya!" He yells back.
As Lisa and I move away, my smile slowly formed a terrified frown. Lisa says, "That was really... Really cold... I actually believed, for a second, that you're okay..."
"Well... I did have lessons with that girl that is amazing at acting..."
"Oh right... Sanders" Lisa says.
First Period. As I walked in, I pushed all the negative feelings away. I turn to see the hooded boy, just got a better look at him, he has Ocean blue eyes, and it’s beautiful... But he's still sort of weird. I look towards Mr. Limestrum, our Science Teacher; he's talking about the tectonic shift, and the gravitational plates... Again... We learned it already! Why repeat the same lesson?
Anyways, yeah. It's really fun being here with my Best friend, and the fact that we're an unstoppable force! It's just... I have no words to say how awesome it is! The bell rings and off to the next Period!
Second Period, French Class. We're learning how to make a poem in the French Language, I'm not sure the relevance of it though, and anyways I got paired with Mystery Boy. Still can't see his face, which is odd because he's seated right next to me.
I smiled at him; he gives me a small grin while hiding the rest of his face. I was about to ask his name.
"C'est un très beau poème, bon travail," Mrs. Imelda complimented.
I nod at her with ease; I look back at the poem.
"What did she say?" He whispered.
"She said 'that's a very nice poem, good job', she complimented our work. I think." I translated, I guess.
We got an A! So did Lisa! Anyways, I didn't get his name, but I'll keep trying. Third Period, English. We’re asked to do an Essay... Ugh! I hate Essays, I can speak English! I don't need to learn the function and what not! Wait... Maybe I do, anyways, the Essay is supposed to be based on your Summer Vacation. Basically, it's going to have me and Lisa written all over it!
My summer was amazing, both of our parents allowed us to live in a cabin the whole summer, of course there's the 'Call us when you wake up and before you sleep', and also, and the typical, 'when you think something is suspicious, call us about it immediately', then our parents gave us tons of phone credit! One-third of it was used though, but we still had a huge bundle of credit in our phone! This was totally awesome!
"Are you writing about the cabin too?" I ask.
"What else would I write?" She gleefully answered.
She started humming a song. 'All The Small Things' by Blink 182. We both smile at each other, the bell rings, and I haven't even started on the cool parts!
