Life is a journey

CHAPTER TWO

"Tell me what" I asked. The silence was deafening
"Uhmmmm" finally someone decided to break the silence.
"Don't worry about it. Go to your room" my dad said. "But......."
"No buts honey, just go" my mom looked tired
"OK but before I go,I need food" That brought smiles to their faces. "Always the food lover"
"Hey food is one of our essential needs. Without food,there can't be life".
"Yeah right. I wonder how you are still so slim" As you can see guys, I got my sarcasm from my mother. I rolled my eyes. Mom noticed and narrowed her eyes at me. I smiled
"Don't worry honey. We'll order pizza now" Dad chuckled. Mom can't cook. She burns food not cook them. Dad on the other hand is a whiz in the kitchen. He probably doesn't feel like cooking today
"Thanks dad. I'll be up if you need me"
"OK sweetheart"
I still wondered what they were talking about as I went to my room. Pizza came few minutes later. Finally...foooooooooood.
I ate and started doing my assignments since I was finding it hard to sleep. That's a big shock because I and sleep are 5 and 6. Sleep is my second brother. After completing my assignments, surprisingly I still could not sleep. I got up from bed,put on my jacket and went downstairs
"I'm going for a walk" I frowned at my parents who were giving each other the googly eyes..... Gross....
"Ok. Don't stay out late"
"I won't. Love you"
With that I was out. I plugged in my earphone and started listening to music specifically If I'm lucky by Jason derulo. I was still worried about my parents... What could be going on? My mind must have been pretty occupied because I ran into a wall or what I thought was a wall. I looked up to see my nemesis..Oh no...Derek Decker.
"Well well if it isn't green" he calls me green because of my green eyes and it is pretty annoying
"Douche I'm not really in the mood so I should get going"
He smirked
"What's got you so worked up?"
"Like you care"
"What if I actually care"
"Well you can't and you don't"
"You are right. I don't"
See annoying. I just ignored him and continued walking because I really was not in the mood for our little quarrelling. Guess what people... He still followed me. What does this guy even want?
"What do you want?"
"Oh nothing"
"Then go...shuuuuu"
"I actually missed you"
"Ha ha very funny"

"I missed your sarcasm" he smirked
"Just leave me"
"Wasn't holding you green unless you want me to"
"In your dreams"
"Woah.. My dreams are erotic and wild.. You were totally naked and your boobs...."
"Stop.... I don't want to hear this. I'm going back home"
"But you were going somewhere before right" Must I spell it out for him that I'm not in the mood

"Nope. Just taking a walk"
"Okay"
He followed me back home but I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn't say anything

"Stop fantasizing about me naked" Urgghhhh that stupid voice

"Always the douche"
"Only for you green" and he winked at me. I was home at last... Freedom from the douche

"Bye douche"
"Bye green. Dream of me..... naked"
Then he bursted into laughter. I rolled my eyes. He's such an immature idiot

                ****************
   The next day, I had a date with Jake so I called Vicky and Sarah. I opened the door expecting two girls but met two other boys with them... James and Steve.

"Megaaaaaaaaaaan"James yelled despite the fact that he was practically in front of me. I winced
"I'm in front of you James and I didn't call you two over". He pouted and feigned hurt.
"We saw Sarah and Vicky coming and we decided to come along too" Steve answered.
"Okay... Caleb is in his room. Go...."
"Actually... I'm here" I turned around and truly my brother was behind me. He was also dressed really really nice. Could it be because of a certain person whose name begins with the letter V.
"Hi Vicky" he stared at her. Aaaaaaah, I said it.

"Hi ca...caleb" she stuttered. She looked at me and I winked at her. She turned red instantly.

"You know there are other people in this room apart from Vicky"

"James?"

"Huh?"

"Shut up"

"Whipped" he scoffed

Caleb just glared at him as they went to his room.

An hour later,I was in my room with Sarah and Vicky starring at myself in the mirror. I was in a short black gown that stuck to my body as if it was made only for me. My black hair was straightened and it was reaching my waist. The smokey eye shadow and winged eye liner made my green eyes really pop out... Vicky finished my look with a pink lip gloss.
"Wow" was all I could say
"You look beautiful meg" vicky gushed

"Thanks" I smiled
"Don't you think she looks fat a bit in the dress" Sarah piped in
"Fat?" My eyes widened

"No she's perfect, the dress is perfect. What's wrong with you?" Vicky looked annoyed. Sarah just shrugged. I think I caught a look of envy in her eyes or maybe it was only my imagination. I'm not going to let anything spoil this night for me. Jake came minutes. He looked really hot. I walked out to meet him in his car. He didn't even come out to open the door for me. I entered not really thinking about it.
He kissed me passionately and really looked at me in the eyes. I could tell you I was so red. Then he asked

"Babe how do I look tonight?"
"You look hot....breathtaking" I told him truthfully expecting something nice about my dress in return. I mean I really did clean up well. But he just said "ok" and zoomed off. I tried not to think much about it.

When we got to the restaurant. We ordered our food. I keep expecting him to ask about how I was doing but he just kept on talking about himself. I really tried my best to listen to him but my mind drifted off to space, still worried about my parents. He must have noticed my inattentiveness because he tapped me
"Babe what's wrong?"
Finally.....
"I don't know. I just keep feeling something is wrong you know. My parents are hiding something terrible from my brother and I and I'm really worried. Could it be that they got broke? I just don't know." I said

He shrugged "well,what do you think about this haircut? Do you think it will fit me?" He grinned as he showed me a stupid haircut from his phone. I saw red.

"Are you f**king kidding me? I just told you I was worried about my parents and all you can talk about is a stupid haircut. Vicky was right. You are a selfish asshole. Bastard. That's it. I'm out". I guess I rendered him speechless as his mouth was wide open. I was really mad. I mean I listen to him blab every time about himself. Why can't he be selfless just for once? I called a cab and I went home.

When I got home, I met my brother in the kitchen.
"Where's everyone?" I asked
"They've all gone. Mom and dad are in their room anyway."

"Okay" I started going upstairs
"Wait what's wrong?" One thing about being a twin, the other can sense your mood. I sighed
"Let me guess. Boyfriend's trouble?"
"Yeah. He's just so selfish and that's not the only thing that's got me so worked up"
"What" he asked
"Well. Have you not noticed anything about mom and dad like they are hiding something from us?"
"Yeah... But we can only hope it's not so bad"
"I hope so"
"Come on. Let's go to bed. You need it"

"Thanks ken"

"You're welcome barbie". We smiled over our inside joke.

I try not to think about it but I can't help feeling something bad is about to happen...

That's it guys. Tell me if it's good or not. Love you all.
