The Beautiful and The Frightening

chapter 2: the after-shock

Hayaku reached out and grabbed the cellphone , her slender hands shaking and handed it over to me with a stern look masking her features .

" what the hell am I supposed to do with this?" I asked puzzled.

"well,since you take the bus home , you will be seeing Simony who lives near Maria , she rides the bus too, remember?!" my short buddy informed me like she's teaching how to speak stressing on the last word .

"fine , fine I do remember ! let's just get out of here I am starting to get creeped out , plus this place doesn't exactly smell like vanilla and honey " I said wrinkling my nose .

Hayaku smiled and shook her head in disapproval , she knew that I couldn't stand strong scents , so she grabbed my hand and led us out of the creepy/smelly bathroom.

Hayaku and I said goodbye as soon as we got out since her driver has already arrived and was waiting for her.

I walked outside swinging my handbag back and forth , it was a silly habit of mine,I guess.

The school's backyard was almost deserted and clouds were covering the sun , "I think it will be raining soon!" I squeaked to myself with joy . I really liked rain .

I feel that it falls to cleanse our planet from every human sin . and every vein that is throbbing in pain . Also , its earthy scent is so soothing and comforting.

I looked around hoping to see Simony but that their bus had already left .

I sighed and and slumped my soulders , what was I supposed to do with Maria's phone?!

I heard wheel sounds , and a huge vehicle appeared in the view . ha ! finally the bus arrived !

I hopped on as soon as it made its stop , I was starting to get really worried about my missing green-eyed friend Maria.

That girl looked like a foreigner . She had big green eyes , brownish blonde hair , and she had a fair skin just like me .

when we were younger , people thought we were relatives . she was more on the boyish side ,though.

My journey home was silent as I usually sat alone in the bus , I guess I enjoyed silence more than the shallow company of some girls who go to the same school . Their micro-mini skirts and sleevless tops can tell you all you need to know about them . no wonder guys are swarming around them like flys invading a trash can .

when I got home, I made my way through the cobbled pavement and walkee past my mother's flower bed .

Taking a step towards the big mogahony brown door , I grabbed my pink star key chain and popped the key in the lock .

" I am home!" I said in a sarcastic sing-song tone.

My father has appearantly left the house and headed to work, he worked two shifts in a company. while my mother was a school teacher but she still worked late , so I was oficially home alone .

I walked inside my bedroom ,threw my bag on my bed , my pink patterned covers wiggled by the impact of the heavy brown bag .

I stood in front of the mirror taking in my overall look .

"I look ugly " I thought to myself as I stared at my face . Pimples decided to pay ann unwelcomed visit to my pale face .

my black rectangular glasses covered my big hazel eyes and made my long lashes bump into each other.

I took off my jeans and shirt and slipped in a pair of blue sweat pants and a grey shirt , combed my brownish blonde hair in a messy bun with my fingers .

Although I was seventeen , I didn't really care about trends and fashion and all that other crap.

or maybe I was born to be a fashion terrorist ..

well ,I like getting things done fast . plus I had more important things in my life to worry about!

I reached out for my earphones and plugged them in .

I had downloaded song last night by a band called tatu, it's called All the things she said .

somehow the song reminded me of Maria

the last thing she said to me this morning was... what was it ??!

I wasn't able to remember!!

I was thinking really hard when I heard a growl .

I sighed as I patted my now-snarling stomach.

"darn you alexess for eating my chocolate" I muttered as I walked into the kitchen .

I found that dad had left me some leftovers from his lunch . "

do I look like a dog to you!" I said thriwing my arms in mid-air.

I grabbed the plate and threw its contents in the garbage bin , then I walked to the fridge and grabbed a slice of cheese and two slices of bread .

you see, I didn't like eating someone's left overs even if they were my parents.

I munched my cheese sandwish while sipping a carton of sun-cola. my favourite juice since that tastes like coke .

I turned on the large plazma tv and grabbed a pillow to hug (call me weird I don't care!) .

while flipping through the channels something caught my eye .. a picture of two models wearing long black coats .

"the guy with the black cloak visited me again. "

I gasped in shock as I remembered the last thing Maria had told me this morning!!!
