Focus On Me {Woofless Fanfic} - Discontinued -

5. - Friendly Strangers

~~~~~

I was honestly at a loss for words right there. I did not expect to see her, especially here. I expected her to lounge around the airport, inspecting her luggage carefully and looking around for little specks of lint before arriving here.

"Remmi? Hello? Are you deaf?" Jeanette asks, her head tilting in confusion.

I blink a couple of times and blush sheepishly when I look at her again, "S-Sorry, Jeanette. I guess I was taking in the moment of shock. I-I mean, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Well then, surprise?" She says unsurely, looking around me, "Where's Lily by the way?"

"Lily?" I ask abruptly, my tone nervous and shaky, "Um, she's uh, with a few friends so um, I decided I'd go take a walk."

Jeanette raises an eyebrow, looking at me suspiciously, "Is that so? Well then, the winter festival will be here soon, so, get Lily and yourself prepared."

I let out a fake smile, "Yep! I am! I'm getting prepared. Don't you worry now."

"Alright then. . ." She says, walking away past me. I wait a few minutes, before I see her no more, and I run back to the house, the wind hitting against my face, making my vision blurry. I slowly start stopping and cover my eyes, until I bump into someone, making me look up.

"I am so sorry for not looking where I'm going." I stutter, blushing in embarrassment. I look at the person whom I crashed into, and he gave me a small smile. I definitely did not know him, and according to his jogging pants, sorry sneakers, and t-shirt, I could tell he was out for a jog.

"It's alright." He says with a short chuckle. "I crashed into you too, so I owe you an apology."

I look away sheepishly. I wasn't good at starting conversations with people I didn't know, "But the fault is all mine, I mean, it was the wind's fault. It um, got in my eyes and all. . ."

His dark brown eyes looked into mine in a friendly way, "Naw, it's no problem, I completely understand. The wind's current is pretty strong today."

I look around awkwardly, until I realize that I should probably introduce myself. I look at him again and take out my hand slowly, "Um, Remmi, my name's Remmi. . ."

"Eddie," He answers, taking out his own hand shaking mine, his warm touch surprising me. "My name's Eddie." (A/N: @EdLieksThings' OC, congrats ^^ )

I purse my lips, "Eddie, well, one more thing to remember."

"Yo Ed!" I hear a girl shout, making me jump. Her voice was pretty loud, which I had to admit, startled me.

Eddie looks back, answering, "Vixen! Clary! Did you guys get the snacks?!" (The other two winner's OC's, @Vicerry and @AbsWritesBooks. Congrats! ^^ )

I look at the direction Eddie was focused on, and sure enough, walking towards us were two girls, whom had plastic bags on their hands, which I could assume had food in them.

"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting you two." One of the girls say, biting their lip in regret.

I smile softly and look at her, "It's alright. . . ?"

"Vixen!" The girl answers abruptly. "My name's Vixen Di'Nero, it's a large pleasure meeting you! I mean, it always is because strangers are always somehow nice to me-"

"Don't mind Vixen." The other girl next to her says, crossing her arms. "She's always this, jumpy and noisy, I hope you don't mind it, my name's Clary, Clary Smith."

"Why would I mind it? It's actually very nice to meet random people like her." I say nicely, my hands on my back shyly, my head hanging low.

Clary gave me a kind smile, which warmed my heart with sudden happiness, "Well, I'm sure we're all glad we met you. . . ?"

"Oh!" I say out loud, realizing that I didn't give them my name. "My name's Remmi, Remmi Romero. And it's been an honor meeting you all as well."

"We'd better get going," Edward says, grabbing a plastic bag from Clary's grasp, "We'll miss the hockey game, am I right?"

Vixen rolls her eyes and shakes her head, "You are such a stereotype, Ed."

Edward starts walking away, and looks back in amusement, "Says the stereotypical Italian."

"Remmi? What are you doing out here in the cold?" Someone says, which caught my attention. I look over and see Preston, his hands in his pockets.

"Well, we'd uh, better get going. Bye Remmi!" Clary says, grabbing Vixen's hand and walking off down the street.

I bite my lip and look at Preston again, whom gave me a questioning look. I sigh and roll my eyes, "Don't you remember? I said out loud back in the house that I was going to get some fresh air."

He smirks and looks back at the house, "Well apparently we have a bad memory since we remembered nothing and they sent me to look for you. Actually, I went to go check on you on my own."

My emotions crumble when I hear this, since at least Rob could've cared, and he maybe should have at least gone with Preston and check on me a well. But who am I kidding? Rob has his own girlfriend to worry about, I am just a speck of dust compared to her. I lick my lips and smile back, "Thanks, for checking on me, I mean."

He smiles back as I walk towards him, "No problem, I guess I was just concerned."

I shrug and grin at him, "I guess we've got nothing except the fact that Rob and the other guys are lazy-asses for not trying to look for me. Except you of course."

He gives me a returning grin, "Well, what can I say? Your welcome."

We re-approach the house once more, and Preston opens the door for me. I happily enter the house, and everyone gives me an angry look. I look at them and frown, "Did I um, miss something?"

Lily huffs and crosses her arms, "Yep, you did."

Preston looks at me questioningly, but I look at him and give him the same look back, and I shrug. I raise an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Lily looks at Preston and frowns, setting her hand on his shoulder, "Preston, buddy, it's your girlfriend."

"She's dead."
