Chapter 3

I didn’t understand why Paula was acting so weird. She never has told me to come back fast.She has always told me to take time to enjoy the sea breeze.

Anyway I walked as fast as possible to reach my spot.On the way I bumped into a lot of the tourist kids who were screaming like the beach belonged to to them.

         I found my way to the old stone where I usually sit when I come to the beach.The stone is hidden from the sight of the tourist that is the reason why I choose to sit here .I always like my own spaces , it gives me time to think.I just dropped my sling back in a very careless manner and slinked out with a loud thud.

    I took a deep breath, inhaling the salty  breeze of the see. I squeezed my eye shut ,and I shut out the surrounding sound.The screaming of the children followed by the mothers calling out to them to be careful made me think of my mother.

   Would my mother have told me to be careful? If she was around.

The happy laughter of the perfect families made a hot tear slip down my cheek.

   It made me wonder why didn’t my family be like this?

I’ve had nobody in my life expect Paula.She  has been my mentor,my family.

Paula and I always had fights now and then.We both have the attitude of we are right.The main reason for our friction.But besides all this both of us know that we love each other and both of us have nobody in this world but each other.

My grandpa died when Paula was thirty years. He died due to myocardial infraction.Paula never spoke about grandpa,so I don’t know much about him.I guess its hard for anyone to talk about their late loved ones.The pain it causes rips ones heart draining the hearts blood.

I don’t talk about my mom anymore I’ve realized.I have even stopped calling her my mom.I address her by her name Linda.She did used to call earlier to wish me on my birthday or otherwise but I refused to talk to her.She eventually gave up.I was angry with her really mad and I wanted her to know it.

Paula taught me everything I needed. I know if it was not for Paula this world would have been just a mere illusion, a sky without a single star at night.Paula described the world so well, she makes it  like the world is so carefree without a single disaster and it feels like everything is so in place.But I know its not like that the world is  a sinful place.Turn on the radio and listen to the news all you here is the crimes that happen in the different parts of the world.

Paula has made my world so colorful and blissful.

Paula made every birthday of mine so memorable that now when I think of it it makes me smile my peaceful satisfied smile.

That set me thinking of my fourteenth birthday where Paula decided to bake a cake for me. And my favourite chocolate sunday brownie.  Well that turned out to be a disaster. Paula broke her specks so she had to do the cake without her actually seeing and by mistake she added salt instead of  powdered sugar.But even with all the mistakes i could always forgive Paula.

On my sixteenth birthday we called all Paula’s friends over as I have no friends cause I’m home schooled by Paula and I never liked the idea of socializing.Miss Grundy,Paula’s classmate from school, Miss Avon our neighbour, Charles the gift shop owner , Priyala the indian widow with  her two kids who lives down the lane, and last Henry Paula’s old university friend had come for my birthday. It was a wonderful day so much laughter and so much noise and dancing.I sat down for some rest when I saw Paula enjoying dancing with Henry.

Everyone exchanged the stories of how they fell in love when they where young.

It seems that charles actually had fell in love with Miss Avon when they were young but when Miss avon married the business man who had come in town 

Charles  was so angry that he went married the shrew next to his house who it seems had a crush on him like forever. Now though he regrets  that act. Having to marry a shrew and to get your head blown off everyday.Really what people do in their anger, its nothing sensible.

Miss Grundy I believe doesn’t believe in love.I cannot agree with her at all.

Miss Avon tells us about her business man who was called Parker.She does weep sometimes now and then in the middle of her speech because Parker is no more but she also brags about how her grandson Jordan has the same handsome face that Parker had.

Then Priyala tells us about her love and how she had to run away with her love to get married because her family opposed her marrying someone out of cast.

When Avon was talking Paula left the room but when Priyala started i felt Paula’s presence back.

What was all that about?Why did she avoid Avon’s conversation?Why did she always jerk when the name Par....

“Ouch!!”I yelped and sat up as someone just slapped my face. I heard a guy’s voice asking me,“Hey,what are you blind?stone face..”

STONE FACE!AM I BLIND?

By now I was boiling with anger.Whoever it was this person has no right to call me stone face.Then I hear this squeaky voice that must belong to a girl.

“Hey clear this place duh! don’t you no this is where we lover’s sit and make out.”

Are you kidding me, are they telling me to get out of my own space just so that they could make out.

“Go make out somewhere else”I screamed because I was mad with rage cause of the slap, the stone face comment.

The guy came so close,that for defense I raised my hand, just then he held both my hand pinned it down against the rock. i just struggled to get away when he put his head down on my neck.Thats when I felt the his warm breath down on my shoulders.It made me shiver even though it wasn’t cold.

He held me so tight that it hurt.He ran his fingers through my hair and he  

whisper into my ear ,“I know who you are Miss Kingsley.”

And off they went. So struck with anger I wobbled my way back to the house.
