FIREWORKS

CHAPTER 4

"I'm sorry but who are you?"

I saw hurt in his eyes but it disappeared when he smiled

"You don't remember me?"

"I wouldn't be asking if I did right?"

"I'm the owner of the dog that lunged you this morning"

I looked at his face and remembered the happenings.

"Oh ok"

"I don't think I have intro introduced myself yet. I'm Ivan Jones, 19" He held out his hand

"Zeniah Roswell" I shook his hand

"How old are you?"

"Why would I tell you that?"

He smirked "I'm sorry princess"

I just glared at him and walked away. No one can call me princess.

The ball continued with me just watching everyone having fun from my seat.

The host went on stage once more and spoke on the mic "I'm asking everyone to head into the garden"

I didn't have any plans on going but my cousin pulled me so I had no choice.

The host spoke again. "Only a few seconds left until midnight. Today Elaiza is officialy 19 and we hope that all of her wishes get granted and to help them be granted, we prepared a beautiful show for everyone. Please look up!"

We all looked up and fireworks started bursting.

I looked down and away from the exploding fireworks.

I hate fireworks.

*6 a.m.*

It's time to go back to school now. Urrrrggghhh.

I took a bath, put on a casual sweatshirt and pants, since it was still cold here, combed my hair and went to school. Nothing special.

I plugged in my earphones while I was walking in the hallway on the way to my locker. I got to my locker, got my books and headed to class, again, nothing special.

"Zeeeeeen!" A loud shout of my name was heard in the hallway. Even though I was wearing my earphones I can still clearly hear it.

I turned around and saw my cousin running towards me. "Where did you go last night? I didn't see you after the fireworks"

"Uhm, I went home. I was kinda sleepy, sorry"

"It's fine" she said all smiles. I wish I could be like her, smiling 24/7

We walked together in the hallway when someone called her "Elaiza!"

We both turned our heads to see who called her. It was the guy from last night. Ivan

"Oh hey! What's the problem?"

He grinned widely "Nothing. What class are you heading to?"

"English. You?"

He looked a little dissapointed "Maths"

I have maths too

"Zen here also has maths first. Why don't you go with her?"

"Sure. Let's go." Then he starts walking the way to our classroom

I kiss Elaiza on the cheek and started walking with Ian? Evan? Whatever.

The silence was making me deaf so I decided to speak up first. "Hey. Uhm, what's your name again? I kinda forgot" Don't blame me! It's the first thing I thought of

"You seriously forgot the name of this handsome face?"

I glared at him."Then don't answer if you don't want to" I saw that he was a little bit taken aback by what I said, but can you blame me? I'm a straightforward person and I want a straightforward answer.

"My name is Ivan. Don't forget it, okay? Now c'mon, we need to hurry if you don't want to be late." He started running.

I didn't have any plans to chase after him but he did something that made me run with him.

'He held my hand'
