My Emo Best Friend

Chapter 14

Estellar's pov
(I think Azm's is more exciting)

I woke up feeling extremely restless. I looked around my room. It was almost time to get ready. I was going to get up but I noticed something was pulling my tail, or someone. I turned around to see it was Azm, still asleep with a worried expression and her hand were gripping my tail in a gesture that said "Don't leave". I slowly removed Azm's hands off my tail.
Ack! I thought feeling like to collapse. My curse was getting stronger. It was always a struggle to walk normally.

As I got dressed, I remembered the conversation I had with Azm last night. My thoughts kept thinking, Why would people think that? It's not like I'm in love with her. I doubt that she does to me. Now, THAT'S weird. I'm just her friend, that's all. Not best friend, nor 'lover'. Just friend. What is wrong with people these days?
Then I tried to focus myself in something else cause those thoughts seemed a little too weird for me, Ugh, forgot to remember the lines of Kristena's play. We still need to begin the project Professor Kai gave up. Math pop quiz tomorrow. Remember to remember that. When do I get my costume?

I sat besides the bed, trying to focus on the lines. It was TOO early for school yet.
"Run Michael. The cop is right behind us!" I whispered.
"I told you this wasn't a good idea, Evelyn. I told you," Said a faint voice. I jumped to see Azm watching me with tired eyes.
"Ack! Michael! I mean Azm," I said flicking my ears, then became curious, "How did you know those were the lines you had to say?"
Azm shrugged, "I just memorize em." I sighed, wished I've done that too, then I would be ready.
"When's the play? I forgotten," Azm asked getting ready for school. I tried to remember.
"In three weeks," I answered wanting to yawn, "Whatever, party pooper."
"I'm not a party pooper Evelyn. I just knew this was a bad idea. Hello? I'm trying to survive," Azm said in her bored Michael voice. Then said, "Why am I playing Micheal? Couldn't YOU do it?"
"Kristena did it, not me. Now get ready MICHAEL before my mom sees your not ready for school." I said in Evelyn's saucy voice.
"Fine EVELYN. I hate how you get to be someone worth doing AND that your name starts with the same letter Evelyn does," Azm grumbled looking for clean clothes in her and locked herself in the bathroom to change.
"Ha. Ha! Your right!" I said no one. I sighed. Our scrip was very long. I decided to peak that the end of the play, wondering what would happen to Evelyn and Michael.

MICHAEL: (Looking at Evelyn with deep emotional eyes) Evelyn, that was the most CRAZIEST thing I've done in my entire life!
EVELYN: (smirking)  It was nothing.
MICHAEL smilies sheepishly at EVELYN, who looks at him curiously.
MICHAEL: Evelyn, I gotta tell you something...
EVELYN: in wonder, What?

MICHAEL is stepping closer.

MICHAEL: (slowly) I- I love you.. EVELYN jumps back, but then smiles shyly. She and MICHAEL bow and the curtains close. The end.

My reaction was priceless. I didn't know how to react to that. Azm HAS to say that! I wanted to scream, but then realized something, Kristena wrote the play. She made me be Evelyn and Azm be Michael...
What is she thinking?!?!
I don't know why that made me all snarly inside. I wanted to run and protested to Kristena.
"No boy wanted to participate in the play..." Kristena's voice echoed through my head. I went down in disappointment, why did I agree to do this? I noticed Azm watching me, with fear in her eyes.
"You look like you just saw the weirdest thing in the universe and you got extremely disappointed that you want to burn the world," She said in a normal tone.
How you guess? I thought but said, "No. I feel that I'm forgetting something."
"Oh," Azm said looking away.
"Wake up girls it's time-" My mom said entering my room but noticed that we were ready. She smiled, "Oh wow. Well, I guess I have time to make breakfast for you both."
She exits.
Azm looks like she's deep in thought.
I was busy trying to remember the lines for my play. Ignoring what I just read. Azm seemed to do the same as well. She was just reading the scrip.

School

I was just passing by, but I noticed some people looking at me and whispered to each other. Others looked shocked. Others laughed. Others looked extremely sorrow or grossed out, just about any reaction you could think of. I decided to keep my head down.
Azm said she had to go do something so she wasn't with me at the moment but we would meet up at homeroom, with Professor Kai. Everyone pointed, but didn't come up to me to say anything.
At least one person come up to me after that thought and said, "Hopefully you two make it together. Good luck with your emo girlfriend!" I didn't know how to react and I stayed still. I put on my hoodie sweater, covering my entire head.
I got less attention like that. I noticed myself speed walking to class. Then I was running uncontrollably.
Finally! I made it to Professor Kai's class. I went to my seat all the way in the back.
I noticed then the door swung open and someone came running in, gasping for air.
"Azm what happened!" I said. She was extremely sad, that she had her face covered with her hair and had her head down. I guess that she was getting teased just as I was.
I noticed how she was embarrassed completely. I felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault." I said sadly. She lifted her head slowly.
"It's not your fault. It's mine!" She said coldly.
I frowned a little, "No. Cause if I hadn't done that then we wouldn't of been chased like the newest movie star. It's my fault." Azm didn't say anything after that.

After a while Azm got up and went to the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked. She looked back.
"I'm skipping class," Azm said, "Come along if you want." I decided to do so. It was already being a hard day for both if us.

"Where do we stay at?" I said while we walked with our hoods on.
"The abandoned classroom." Azm whispered back. Everyone was already heading to class.
"Oh. There." I said nodding slowly.
We headed outside the took a shortcut through the cafeteria and the outer walls if the school and went to the back, where a huge wall was located. Then Azm took out a key and began to open it.
"How did you get that?" I asked.
"When I first found this room, it was being cleaned out, so I decided to snoop around. I found the key inside and closed the door and made myself a corner so when staff came here and so was I they wouldn't notice. But they rarely come in." She explained. I nodded, astonished.
Then I came in to see the many desks and bookshelves. Azm removed a shelf and nodded for me to come over. I did. Then she moved the shelf back in place. Azm must of planned the corner well because it was pretty hidden from the outside of the shelves. Old beanbag seats were laid on the walls. Some boxes had stuff Azm had put, which was not much. There was a empty bookshelf that was big enough to get and hang on the shelves. I changed to my wolf form and made myself comfortable there. Azm flopped herself on the beanbag. She took out a book and began to read.
I was in deep thought, Why would people do this?
I felt extremely sleepy.
"Azm..." I said quietly. Azm looked at me.
"What?" She said then rushed towards me.
"I don't feel so good-" I said then collapsed on her hands.
