The Story of a Star! [Completed]

Book 2 - Toxic

I met up with Shane at the smoothie bar today. I was constantly trying to see if he would recall what had happened three days ago.

Nothing.

I was actually relieved, he'd been in bed for the past two days due to bad headaches. I insisted that at he go home, but he stubbornly stayed anyway.

"I told you I'm fine." He pressed.

"I don't believe that. I don't want to be the reason for your headaches getting worse." I countered. It didn't feel good to be the cause of someone's misfortune, unless, of course, you were getting even.

After I said that his eyes lit up, and he sort of looked happy, as if he wanted to hear that.

I ordered another smoothie and Nathaniel, an employee came over. I immediately started to quiver. For some reason I don't know why, I am a little intimidated by him. I think it was because of that look he gave me when I bumped into him at school, and he dropped his books while he was rushing to get to get to class. He's known as the nice guy too. He must secretly think I'm an eyesore. I wouldn't blame him though, not many people wanted to be around a loner.

Trying to calm down, thankfully the door opened, and LoliRock walked in. I wasn't expecting that.

"Oh yeah, this is their favourite place to hang. " Shane told me.

I waved them over and they came and sat down next to us. Shane, a little dissatisfied, went to use the washroom.

"Hey, your name is Kira, right?" Talia asked, sitting on the chair on my left.

"Y-yeah, that's me."

Auriana Jumps in, "I really love your hair, it's so pretty!"

"Thanks." I didn't really know what else to say, so I kinda stared off into space, fumbling with my fingers.

With my eyes unexpectedly landing on Iris and Nathaniel, I could see that those two liked each other. Then I looked over to Auriana and Talia who were occupied by the tv. I also took note of the fact that Talia and Auriana had very unique jewelry. Auriana had a ring shaped like a star with a round orange crystal in it, and Talia had a bracelet with a blue crystal rhombus.

They were almost like my earrings...huh. Talia noticed me looking at their jewelry pieces when her eyes shifted to my earrings.

"Those earrings, where did you get them?" She questioned.

"These? They're a family heirloom. My adoptive mom said she found me with them in a pouch around my neck." Wow, Lena is a really good story maker. "Why?"

"It's nothing I was just...curious." She went back to watching the tv as Iris came over with three smoothies, one for each of them.
