Broken dreams

The Locket

My day started like every other day would; wake up, leave for school, come home, study, eat, and then sleep, but for some reason I felt that today would be different. I woke to the sound of my alarm groaned, "Good morning life and bye bye awesome dream." *sigh* "I really don't want to go to school today, but guess diddly darn what? I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, ugh. Whatever." I rise from the comfort of my bed trying my best to keep the warmth that was quickly leaving my body. I grab my flashlight and put it on the lowest light and slightly shine it on my younger brother who somehow flipped himself and tossed his blanket on the floor. I smile and cover him making sure his face is covered so the light won't bother him. I sigh and quietly listen to the hum of the heater, "Damn useless thing." I quickly turn on the light and grab my clothes, trying my best to stay quiet so I don't wake my brother, but of course gravity hates me and decides to make me trip and fall. I land on my arm and quietly curse underneath my breath. On the floor I try to sit up, but something underneath a dresser catches my eye, "Oooh pretty!" I whisper to myself. I grab the object, examining it closer I realised it was my necklace, but oddly different. It was silver and the pendent is able to open. The locket itself was empty, but it had a message that sent chills through my body engraved in it and my name, "Never Forget Me lizz - Alistair." I stare for longer than I really needed to, but something about that name it sounded so familiar, "Who the hell is Alistair, what's that?" I bend down once more to see if there was anything else and to my luck there was, "A note great." I sighed grabbing it. I examine it, but then I suddenly jolt up realizing I'm still shirtless and three minutes away from missing my bus. I quickly grab a shirt and head to the bathroom. I toss on my shirt and quickly brush my teeth and hair. I tie my jaket around my waist and head out. I shove the note I found inside of my binder and get to the bus stop. " Oh thank god I made it ugh I hate running on an incline!" I realized I still had the necklace in my hand so I just put it on. The metal wasn't cold but my hand started shaking. I wanted to open the locket but every part of me told me I shouldn't, I did it anyways. "Promise To Never Take It Off-Alistair" *what in the world* I thought. I felt like I should take it off but my mind wondered what would happen if I did. Fearful of whoever 'Alistair' is or whatever he wanted I won't object. My mind racing I could barely hear whatever it was my friends were chatting about when I feel two strong arms wrap around my waist lifting me. I screamed and turned to see the face of whoever was trying to take me. I stare at him for minute. "LUKE!!!!!????" Luke was my best friend back in korea but I haven't seen him for about 4 years. " HOLY COW!!!!! Omg when did you get here? How long have you been here for? AND WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU CALLED ME?!" I start rambling questions to Luke out of excitement. He's the type of friend you could never really make today but it just works out you know? Luke, just as happy to see me as I am to him, grabs me once more into a tight embrace. "Whoa whoa whoa I'm happy to see you too but you never called me either. I'm so happy to see you face and hear your voice again angel. How are-" before he could ask anymore questions I cut him off angrily. "Nope not talking till YOU SIR answer MY questions!" I stomp my foot down in a childish manner. He smiles at me, his dark gaze holding every one of my thoughts. "I got here last week-" "AND YOU DIDN'T CALL???" "I wanted to surprise you angel... anyway I'm moving into the neighborhood and transferring to your school. Our moms spoke earlier this week about my transfer." I stared at him in shock. My mouth hung open for a bit. "MY MOM KNEW!!!!!!" "yeah... wait hold on" luke stopped because the bus was pulling up to take us all to school. I was so happy. Luke got on the bus with the rest of the other students and me. He was the last to get on the bus. The bus driver looked at him, thinking of wear to have him seated for the rest of the year. Luke stared at her waiting for her to answer "You can go sit at the very back on the left side with Lizz. And I best not hear any complaints from ya I'm not changing your seat. Go !" Luke turned and sent me a devious smile as he walked closer to the same seat I was in. "Well well angel guess where I'm sitting for the rest of the year." He said holding his evil smile. Some time passes of us just sitting in the bus. When the doors of the bus open I slid my way over Luke and out the doors. He stood and chased me, grabbing me by my wrist. "Whoa whoa slow down angel. Why are you in such a rush to get to class? I thought you hated homeroom." He said with a playful smile. "Rushing? Who's rushing? I have candy in my bookbag and I'm not going to let it melt!" I say forcing my hand free from his grip. " Candy? I want some! You better share!" He says prying at my bag. "Nope you gotta catch me first!" I yell, running away heading towards my homeroom class. " I want you to understand that I'm going to show you off like a new bag hahahah." I begin explaining the normal things that go on during school such as drama and class competitions. He stares at me with a look saying that he has no clue what is I'm talking about. " Look angel I don't care what's going on in the other classes that I don't have you in. I only need info on the classes I do have. Mkay?" He says smiling at me like an idiot. " Hey faggot get a new boyfriend? What's wrong with this one? Is he depressed just like you? I bet he cuts with her!!" Girls says from the distance. Honestly I'm glad Luke is back but I just wished he came back at different time. I'm going through so many things and I don't need this right now but I'll just have to manage my attention a little bit better from now on. I can't let him know im hurting. "Huh? What are you talking about? Lizz what is she talking about? You don't cu-" "Shh don't worry she's not talking to me or you. It's ok." I pull him into the class and sit him next me trying my best to forget what just happened. "I don't understand what just happened but ok" luke says hoping to get some answers im just not ready to give him just yet. "Heh........they weren't talking to us i swear hehehe heh eh....... Any how um I hope you're ready for your first day here im super excited for you!!" I say trying so hard not to seem nervous but to my attempts, have failed once again to the boy who can travel the path of my soul with ease.
