Musically Green

In Which Queen Meets King

  I woke up and started my morning ritual. Today I wore tight black leather pants with stitched holes, a black hoodie crop top with little holes in it, and black Tim's. I wore my hair down wavy with a left side part. Same makeup, but this time with black lipstick. After finishing the usual routine I headed to school on the greatest vehicle ever made.
  After parking and booting my bike I took my helmet off shaking out my hair. There was no breeze today. I ran my fingers through my hair, fixing it. I breathed in the air, and dare I say that it was different than usual. I looked around, everything looked exactly the same. Nothing new. I shrugged and disconnect my phone from the bike and to my beats. Satan's spawn kept true to his word and left me alone all last week to my surprise. I smile and step into the school 'Arabella' loud as a drum in band practice playing in my ear. I walk to my locker swinging it open and shoving gum in my mouth. After sticking my helmet in there and unloading my unnecessary books I shut it. I gotta a whiff of my favorite smell next to my strawberry shampoo. Blueberries. Suddenly I feel the atmosphere change. I slowly turn my head to the entrance of the school. My eyes meet with......me? Everyone is looking between the two of us. I quickly open my locker back up looking into the mirror on the door. My eyes shift between me and....the other me. I blink furiously trying to see sense. When I look from my reflection back to the other me I'm looking myself dead into my blue eyes. Blue? I look back in the mirror. No mine are green.
  I look back up to see me approaching me. I slowly shut my locker again. Never loosing eye contact afraid I'm loosing my mind. The me stops in front of me. The me's a he. What the fuck? I study the features of him. Same hair, mouth, nose, eye shape, eyebrows, freckles, dimples. He looks just like me. The only difference is his blue eyes, strong jaw line, and his incisors are almost vampire sharp. Very feline like.
" Hi. Wow. You umm... You sheesh." He gives me an award winning smile.
" You umm. You have my hair.-" he pauses to chuckle. "My face too." I feel my eyes widen. No. Not me. He speaks. He laughs. He's not me.
"My names Elijah. People call me Eli though. You can uhh call me whatever." He furrows his eyebrows at me.
" Do you....ya know? Speak?" He nervously laughs scratching the back of his neck. I slowly pull an earphone back. I shake my head no.
" She's mute knob slobber. Who are you anyw- woah. What the fuck? You never told me you had a brother buttercup." Daniel says.
I grab my board and marker. I don't.
"I'm actually not her brother. We don't umm know each other.-" he turns to me " buttercup? Well you certainly do look sweet. Nice name."
" Hey look man I don't know who you are but she's unavailable. She's mine. Sorry dude." Satan's spawn annoyingly adds. I roll my eyes clearing my board. No my names Elizabeth, but my mom calls me Ellie. And NO he is not my boyfriend. He's Satan's sperm donor result. Go away Danny. You said you'd leave me alone!!! I show Eli and then Daniel. I hear Eli laugh and Danny glares at him.
" Something funny punk???" Danny asks clearly upset.
" Just you aggravating her." Eli says. I turn to Danny and push him away. I wanted alone time with this 'Eli'. He had a how do I say...musical aura about him. I can't explain. His velvety laugh, and his smooth unpolished voice. He seems different. And I'm talking past mysterious. He was gravitational. I felt a pull I've never felt for anything but music. His face, his eyes made my heart race beyond any speed limit.
  " Fine fine. I'm going. You better not hurt her pip squeak or I'll -" I push him harder.
" Alright alright. I'm gone. " He says walking away. Turning back every other second.
" Soooo...mute huh? I'm sorry. I didn't know. I mean obviously right? Yeah. Mute. Well uhhh..Ellie right?" I nod my head.
" Well it's nice to meet you gorgeous. Ya know cause we eerily look identical. Even our names are close yeah?" I smile at his ranting and stare at him in curiosity.
" What is it buttercup?"  I roll my eyes. Please don't start that up. I severely hate that guy. He's such a FB and he thinks I'm gonna be his next conquest. I show him and he laughs.
" That explains the looks. He's hot with the ladies huh???" I nod yes.
" Hmm...and your not very hot with the fellas???" I would be but I don't talk to anyone. I tend not to like people. I thiiink we live in a world full of idiots. 21st century my ass. I hate humans.
"Oh but you'll talk to me? And are you not human?" He chuckles lightly. I mean you seem...I don't know. Interesting. You have a-a- a aura I guess. And hahaha. I wish I wasn't. I wanna be a humming bird.
"A humming bird?? Interesting?? Why and how??"  He stands so that he may read while I write. I can't explain. You just, your looks, your so different. I-  The bell rings interrupting me. I smile and turn to leave.
"Wait! Ditch with me...please?" I give a silent laugh. It's a little too soon for that don't you think?
' Never ' he signs.
' Sign language? Impressive. Where'd you learn? '
" Had a deaf friend. He taught me. His name's Eric not that it's important. But yeah. I have much more to learn. If we ditch you can teach me." I thought about it. After all I am smarter than everyone else anyway. Besides it's not like my teachers give me work anyway. So I did the last thing I thought I'd ever do. I ditched.
