I remember it so clearly. My first incounter with Alex. It was also my first encounter with the demons inside of myself, and they were just waiting. Waiting for the moment when they would strike, and I would be a hopeless little duckling caught in the stormy sea of my own self concious. Waiting for the exact moment, when my world would collapse..
(Arabell)
After everyone had clamed down (by 'everyone' I mean my spastastic friend Lizzy) We all trudgedup the stairs to my room.
My room is the first door to the right of the stairs, across form it is Heather and Amy's, and next to theirs is ned's and Brents.. Or, really, now its just Brents. Ned doesnt crash here too much anymore. I guess its just one of the flaws to growing up. Just no time for your family.
I pull open the door from the circular hole where a doorknob would be, if my mother hadn't ripped out all the locks and doorknobs last year.
Like I said.. Shes a little.. Out there
As I enter the smell of B&B Cherry blossom spray mist hits my nostrils.
But the flowery smell doesnt really do much to hide the catastpophe my room has become.
Whoops, guess i forgot to clean it with the whole trying-to-avoid-having-icy-water-dumped-on-my-head fiasco.
Well, guess it's someone elses problem now.
My friends look around with a ixture of amusment and slight repulsion.
Oh yeah, seems like last weeks dinner plates didnt exactly make it to the sink.
Along with that, there was an impressive collection of dirty laundry, crumpled notebook pages, and other gross things i dont even want to identify at this point..
So basically, saying im a slob would be putting it lightly.
"Wow Bell.. This..is really impressive. even for you" Katie snickers, stepping over the clutter and plopping down on my bed.
" Oh ha-ha. Well, not everyone can keep their room spotless." I stated, crossing my arms
"Yeah, well it would be nice if you could actually see the floor."
"Psh, Floors are overrated. I mean, really. Have you seen the amount of accidents that happen in the average household? All because of their freshly waxened floors."
" Uhm, maybe its less to do with the 'freshly waxened' floor, and more to do with the ammount of shit they trip over daily"
"...... I think thats a stupid reason"
"Yeah, sure, you just dont want to admit that your room is a safety hazard"
"Is not. Ill have you know that this room is extremely safe"
"Yea, lke in gonna believe that. You know, you just-"
"Enough!" Lilly shouts. "I think i speak for me and Lizzy when I say weve had enough of your bickering"
"Psh, whatever" Katie grumbles.
Theres just a moment of really awkward silence. Wow, I relly hate when this happens..
" Whoa! A flying elephant." I shout, pointing. Anything to get rid of the awkwardness.
And Katie, being the only 'dumb blonde' in this room quickly looks to where ive pointed.
The closet.
Now Don't get me wrong, Katie is actually the smartest out of the four of us, and would be happy to spend the day discussing foreign policies and stuff.. But I swear, sometimes she's just way too gullible.
