Drip drop, drip drop. It was raining again and I was just simply watching the droplets slide down the bus window. It was Monday, the worst day of the entire week. I was on my way to school, I sat on my own not wanting to be bothered by anyone. It's not because I was a loner or anything, but for the fact that for the last few months, I seemed to be having a very...very short temper. I don't know why or how but...every tiny little thing irritated me and I just responded by exploding. So, in order to avoid that I seperated myself from people...including my own family. It was hard, very hard but I didn't want to hurt them by my stupid angry outbursts. I don't know what is happening to me but it's starting to annoy me.
"Mark?" a feminine voice called.
"Huh?" I responded to Isabelle. I guess you could say that she was my best friend, ever since we were in kidergarden. So, we were pretty close...inseperatable actually. I looked at her intentively, her delicate honey blonde hair was pulled into a high ponytail and her sapphire eyes were gleaming with worry. So far, she was the only one who had not being victimized by me.
She was sitting in the seat opposite me so she got up and moved next to mine. "What's up, Mark? You've been acting wierd for a while now..." she trailed off.
I heaved a sigh and turned to face her. Should I tell her? I was about to cook up a lie when those so damn good eyes of her's almost dared me to deny saying the answer. "I...um..er", I stuttered.
Bells moved closer to rub my back comfortingly. "Hey, hey. Mark, it's ok. You know you can tell me anything", she whispered in my ear. It was obvious she knew I didn't want anyone else to overhear.
I shut my eyes and inhaled through my nose. I had to tell someone so why not my best friend? "Ok", I started. "I don't know what's happening but I been so bi-polar for a while now and I can't seem to control it. And it's not the normal little short temper, I just explode for no reason. Please don't take it seriously if I fire at you for no reason".
"Of course I won't. I understand", she said with a gentle smile. I swear she has the kindest heart ever. She sighed and placed her head on my shoulder which made me smile. I was glad she didn't hate me. When we were only ten more minutes away from the school, Bells said something that made me freeze.
She said, "to be completely honest, Mark. Things have been weird for me as well, I mean...I don't know how to explain it but-".
"You've caught the eyes of some guys?" I suggested with a wink.
Bells laughed and punched my shoulder. "Wh-...no, I mean-".
I rolled my eyes at her and raised my eyebrows at her.
"Ok, fine. That's exactly what. But I don't get it, it's not like I'm hot or anything", she said and I noticed that she cheeks were kissed with redness.
Damn she was so cute. "Ha, you're hot Bells don't think otherwise and I'm beautiful as well", I smirked.
It was her turn to roll her eyes at me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
School was over before I could even blink, thank god for that. Instead of taking the bus back home, I decided to walk with Bells...she was staying for dinner. "So, Marcus... What shall we do today?" Bells asked in a light tone, before linking her arm through mine.
I gave her a sided smile and said, "well, Isabelle I was thinking about going to the park after dinner and just hang out".
She grinned and replied, "sounds great to me".
There were two ways to get to my house, one was to follow the path along the road (which was longer) or there was a trail in a miniture forest. You can probably guess that the second opinion was the quickest. I loved walking through the forest but I knew that Bells didn't like it much, she thought something bad would happen. Something about the possibility of being attacked, raped or killed...a bunch of rubbish.
"Come on, let's take a short-cut", I nagged. "What's the worse that can happen?"
Bells snorted and pointed at the fringe of the trees. "Are you kidding me? There is no way I'm going in there", she cried.
I groaned and replied, "oh, come on. It'll be quicker, besides I'm coming with you".
She broke into a small smile. "Is that suppose to reassure me?" she teased.
I shot her a playful warning look which caused her to laugh. "You can either walk with me or on your own. Which one is it?" I said.
Bells looked around the area before letting out a little whine. "You are so mean, Mark. I'm not going to talk to you", she said childishly.
I blew a raspberry at her and took hold of her hand, leading her towards the trail. There was a mild breeze and the temperature wasn't that cold but for some reason I felt goosebumps forming on my arms. Strange.
