Just an Ordinary Daisy

Chapter 16: Embarrasingly Beautiful

Life is a confusing thing. I always thought I was a normal, ordinary girl. I lived with a great, big, kind family that loved me. Even thought they didn't always spend that much time with me, they still loved me. I had a normal amount of friends and a best friend. HAD. That's the key word. Of course my family would never leave me, but now I wasn't so sure if I even still had Lindsey. I still can not believe what happened back at the movie theater.

Honestly, I don't blame her. I did hurt her boyfriend. And her. I hurt her love, someone she cared about so deeply. Even though I was her BEST FRIEND. Despite all this, I still understood her reasoning. From her standpoint, it must have seemed like it was just me hitting him. I wasn't sure if she had even seen the whole thing or not.

As for the confusing part, well.....you guys kinda already know about that. Susan and her black smoke, the weird guys we keep running into, and everything else that makes up my life.....Daisy's life.....Just an ordinary Daisy's life.

Now that I know the background be hind my name, I'm starting to understand it more and how it fits me. Daisy's are all almost identical, but yet each one is slightly different. They all look similar with their pointed petal ends and their beautiful white color. Daisy's are beautiful, yet strong. The points on the ends show fierceness and strength.

And for the fact that I'm ordinary....well...perhaps I was normal before, but now....I'm not so sure. Things have changed and I still have an endless amount of questions.

We arrived in a small room. The walls were a plain white and the floor was covered in very reflective blue and gray tile. There were sinks and soap and paper towel dispensers lining the walls. Oh no... I thought. I turned my head just enough to see behind me. Stalls.... I realized. Then, it hit me. I saw a young red haired girl with pigtails walking out of a stall, just sauntering along. She was making her way towards the sinks. And not just any bathroom, i thought... the girls' bathroom. I turned to look at Gabe.

He turned back to look at me, with a look of terror. He was still holding my hand. We both looked down at the same time to realize this and simultaneously let go of each other.

"Well...this is awkward," Gabe commented.

"Yeah," I said, while laughing jokingly. Although this was really awkward. Especially for him. I mean seriously, the girls' bathroom? Of all the places, she had to teleport a boy into a girls' bathroom.

"Susan?" I started questioningly, "why are we here?

"For Jade to wash her hand. Why else would we be here?"

"Sorry, it was just a question," I replied with the slightest bit of anger in my tone.

"Is there a problem?" Susan commented, raising her brow with a look of superiority. I had never seen her like this. She rarely gets angry... unlike me.

Although, recently...I feel like I've been changing. I don't get angry as much anymore. I'm a lot more sympathetic and understanding than I used to be.

Anyway, back to Susan's question. After she said this, I looked at her and attempted to secretly point at Gabe and look down embarrassed. Despite my excellent acting, she still looked confused. She brought hand to her forehead, trying to sort out exactly what it was that I was trying to get her to understand. Suddenly, she turned to me with a look of understanding. It was as if the lightbulb had finally turned on.

"Ahhh... I see. This is a little awkward now isn't it missy."

Gabe looked at me with an eyebrow raised. I don't recall him ever hearing her call me missy. It might've been something else though. Like my acting. I bet he was surprised at how amazing I was. It was awesome. I could go to Hollywood with this quality stuff.
