dreams

chapter 2.

School just ended.
I was hurrying home so I could work on Eva's case again.
I knew the man faces.
And I had found out that he wasn't Eva's uncle.
Neither of them was her uncle.
They aren't even family from her.
No, they were just searching for a girl with a rich family.

Eva's dad works at Apple and Eva's mom is a personal trainer.
Eva's older sister does modelling jobs.
And Eva..
Well Eva is still gone.
The kidnappers didn't leave a single trace.
The police still don't know how they look like.
The only thing they know is that she got kidnapped by 2 man with guns.
Of course I knew all this because of my dream I had.
It's bad that I had that dream.
But my childish brain was processing what I saw on tv that day.

I arrived at home.
I wrapped my hand around the door handle.
But I didn't had any motivation to go inside.
I don't want to enter my house, which get used more as a working place.
Most of the time when I feel like this I go to a club.
But it's way to early now.
The club's aren't even open.
I don't really want to flirt with a girl right now either.
My stomach is hurting. I guess I drunk too much cola at school.
Ofcourse the cola was with caffeine.
The younger me would never expect himself too become a caffeine addict.
Now when I look at Tumblr and instagram I see all those girls being addicted to coffee and Starbucks. Most boys do things like beer and stuff.
But when I drink beer -or alcohol in general- the risk that I fall asleep is too big.
So I need to live on caffeine.
I took my hand off the cold door handle.
My mind wasn't in the mood to focus today.
I should go to Starbucks.
I don't have much money but it's enough to buy something from.

On my way to the Starbucks I stopped before a window from a store.
I looked at my reflection in the window.
I saw nothing familiar.
I looked like a total stranger to myself.
I saw my thick lips.
My brown eyes.
My pointy nose.
My black hair.
And my light brown chocolate skin.
My mom used to compliment me on my skin.
Not only my mom, Eva did too.

Eva...

Her skin wasn't brown like mine.
Her skin was so white as snow.
But her heart was so warm as the sun.
Her black eyelashes made her light blue eyes stand out.
She was just 11 when I saw her for the last time.
But she is still my best friend.
She always will be.

I signed and walked away from my unfamiliar reflection.

Who am I?

With those 3 words floating through my mind I walked to the Starbucks.
Once I was there I ordered a ice coffee.
I waited on my coffee and after that I took place on a wooden chair. I putted my ice coffee on the table. I was trying to relax when I heard someone talking to me.

"Hey" said a woman's voice.
I looked up and looked a Chinese girl in the eyes.
I was kind of surprised that she walked up to me and talked to me.
"Hey" I said back. You could hear irritation in my voice.
I didn't really want to talk.
Or to have anything to do with that girl.
"Uhh,, all tables are taken by people. Can I sit here, with you?" She asked

Ughh

"Fine."

She took place on the other chair in front of me.
While she was buzzy with settling in her chair I could observe her quickly  without her noticing.
She wore eyeliner and her hair was tied up in a messy bun which made her look innocent.
Cute.
She also wore a black skirt of knee length and her grey shirt with short sleeves was put into her skirt.
She wore a chocker, a necklace and small hello kitty earrings.
When she sat on the chair she started to drink her coffee.
A awkward silence surrounded us.

After 10 seconds of silence the girl spoke.

"My name is Jady." She said.
I didn't answer.
"W-what's your name?" She stuttered
"Chermilo."
"Nice name!"
"Yea."

It was silent again.

"How are you?" She asked again.
"Why are you talking exactly? You wanted to sit here to drink your coffee. Not to talk to me. So drink it and shut up." I said
She was quiet.
It was clear to see from her face expression that I did hurt her.
"You are mean!" She said
"I thought I told you to shut up."
"Yes, but you are not my daddy. So fuck you." She said
Wow, she transformed from a nice innocent girl to a entire baddy. Well,, she tried to at least.
"How are you?" She now asked louder and less friendly.

Well to be honest I wasn't fine or okay at all. But I'm not going to tell her that. Of course not.
If I do she will think I'm weak.
And she would want me to tell her more.
Like the reason why I'm not feeling fine or okay.
But to be honest, I don't even know a reason myself.
Yes Eva got kidnapped with a small opportunity she's still alive. And my dad killed my mom.
All because of me.
But if I would tell her that, she would think I'm crazy. She would lock me up in a mental hospital.
And they will diagnose me with schizophrenia.
Since the most unbelievable thing happened to me. They won't believe me but they will think I'm crazy Because those dreams can't happen in real life. Only in fantasy, right?
A schizophrenic.

"I'm fine." Was my answer.
"Okay." She said. "Here is my Insta, hit me up."
She gave me her Insta username written on a small note. "I have to go now, my Starbucks buck is empty now." She stood up and walked away.

She walked with a sassy walk.
The girls who walk with a sassy walk are the biggest hoe's.
I found out that those girls are the easiest to go home with.

I looked at my ice coffee.
I wasn't thirsty anymore.
I threw my coffee away and walked home.

Once I arrived at home I let my self fall on the couch. I took my phone out of my pocket and I opened Instagram.
I took the note out of my pocket too.
I searched her username.
@jadymary
Is it the one with the hello kitty profile picture?
I clicked on it.

27 posts - 2K followers - following 53

So she's kind of Insta famous?
I looked at her bio.

@jadymary
Jady Mary.
🇰🇷❤

She isn't Chinese.
I scrolled down to her pictures.
They all looked the same.
The same pose, the same hair style.
Just different locations.
Boring.
I clicked on the dm botton.

"Follow me back." I typed.
I put my phone away.
I will check on her reply later.
I opened my computer and continued my search for Eva.

"I will."
