CHAPTER 05 :

🥀 Mary 🥀
Mary found Dianna right after school, when they were walking together home.
-".. and my schedule is pretty full, thank god it's the last year," said Dianna.

-"Hmm, yeah me too" murmured Mary.
-"Are you even listening to me ? You're so off today, did something happen ?" Her friend's voice was a little worried.

-"Oh no, you know how boring my life is, I'm so damn tired, I spent so much energy socializing today, I can't wait to go back home and be antisocial again." said Mary smiling at her bestfriend.

-"Okay, so did you hear about the guy everybody is talking about ?" Said Dianna changing the subject.

-"What guy?" Frowned Mary.

-"Wait, let me remember his name, it was Edgar-wait no Edward yeah that's his name, I heard every girl talking about him, you know like everytime a new boy comes to school?"

-"Oh yeah, he's in my Writing class and Algebra." said Mary trying to remember.

-"So you actually saw him ? What does he look like ? Is he really as handsome as everybody says ?" Said Dianna lifting her eyebrows in surprise.

-"Um, well I didn't really see his face."

-"You didn't-wait what ? What do you mean you didn't see his face ? You said he shared classes with you, right ?"

-"Yeah, but in Writing class he was giving me his back, so I only saw a side of his face and in the Algebra I didn't really look at him or at his direction, and why are we talking about a stranger? We don't even know him, Why are you asking so much questions about him ?" Mary turned to her bestfriend narrowing her eyes.

-"okay, look first of all, it's not what you think you know I'm immune to these things, I heard everybody talking about him so I asked you, two is you know that I don't like boys, I just befriend them, and third is that you're so blind you didn't even notice your classmate."

-"Yeah, you'll see him tomorrow and for the rest of the year." said Mary sighing.
They got to Dianna's house when her friend said,

-"You're not mad, are you ? Because I said blind, I didn't mean it," said Dianna standing in their house's pathway.

-"Of course not, punkass, it's a stupid reason, now go your little brother is calling you," said Mary laughing as Dianna's brother leaped on his sister.

-"See you tomorrow, bye"

-"Byyyye".

Mary continued walking alone to her house and when she entered, she could hear her siblings talking about their day to their mom, she saluted them and ran to her precious bed.

God, I missed you so much. She jumped making the bed squeak and hugged her pillow savoring its softness.

-"MARY, mom prepared some pancakes, if you don't come in time, I'll eat them all." called Mary's sister from the kitchen.

She got up and changed to her night clothes, placed her books on the bed and hurried to not miss her slice.

-"And also, it's so much better than middle school, I'm kinda free now," said Mary's sister Annaïse, she's freshmen and too excited for high school, she even bothered to buy new clothes and school stuff.

-"Me too, me too, today me and Charlie..." interrupted Mary's little brother and both of her siblings started talking while she ate in silence, too carried away in her thoughts as usual.

-"MOM, mary is eating my pancakes," screamed her brother stealing hers, she laughed.

-"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention"

-"She's in another world as usual" sighed Annaïse while her mother mumbled something.

-"So, tell what happened to Clary after that ? You didn't finish the story yesterday" Mary's brother jumped from his chair ready to hear his sister, she usually narrates him the books she reads before bed after deleting some scenes of course, but he loved listening.

Sometimes even her mother comes to hear her while she narrates.
