A Kiss on a Penguin's Beak

2

I finished dinner and walked upstairs, changing my shirt to a plain yellow tee and replacing my jeans to a knee length comfortable pants. I ran downstairs and said bye to mom and dad and my baby brother Hazel.

I paced my way to Michael's house and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps coming closer and saw Michael smiling.

"What a creepy smile to greet me."

"Always to you."

I punched playfully his arm and walked in.

His mom greeted me and I returned with a smile.

"Now thats a creepy smile."

"Fuck off."

He chuckled and I rolled my eyes, reaching the living room and plopping down his comfy couch. I played with it and feel myself going high and down the couch. Michael joined in and we both went up snd down. His mom scolded us and we apologized of our misbehavior.

"Are we gonna just play around or watch some movies?"

"Movies."

Michael nodded and inserted the movie he bought from the store. I asked if it was a Channing Tatum movie but all he did was grinning at me. I watched the tv rolling and I realized,I was fooled again.

"Cmon Jade! This is the best part!"

"No! I dont want to !"

I told him while burying my face with my cold sweaty hands, averting my self from looking at the tv. I heard screams in the movie we're watching that brought shivers down my spine.

"Youre missing the part where his girlfriend got killed."

"I want to miss all the parts in this fucking movie! You fooled me, jerk!"

I hit him while I covered my face with the other hand. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him and faced my head to the tv. My eyes were attached to the scene when the girl went fighting along the possessed one. I screamed out loud that covered my mouth with Michael's hand and told me to keep it down since everyone in the house had fallen asleep.

The movie was over yet I still felt the uncontrollable feeling of calming myself down thr moment my eyes saw it.

"It was less scary. It was more in humour than gore. Right, Jade?"

"Humour? How could it be?!"

I raised my voice.

"Chill. Its just a movie."

"Now, I had another nightmare that would scar me for life!"

"Dont be dramatic, Jade. Its just a movie. Just a movie."

"Psh. Easy for you to say."

I picked myself up and headed to the door.

"But it was fun."

"It wasnt. You tricked me, Clifford."

"Well it worked."

"Shut up. Im leaving."

"Wait."

He grabbed me and smiled.

"Sorry Jade."

"Sorry your ass."

"Ehehe, really I am."

"Psh. Yeah,yeah. See you tomorrow."

I waved and turned to my left to go back to my house. It was dark. 12:05.

Urg. Why did I fall for his prank? I couldve been in my room right now and sleep comfortably on my soft,galaxy-colored bed.

I heard my phone rang and pulled it out and swiped to unlock. I received Michael's message just a second which read that to be careful on my way home or i'll be chased down by a corpse walking fast towards me. I replied to him a jerk and locked my phone. Then I heard a sound from behind. I can feel myself sweaty by it and thought that its just a cat. Footsteps overheard by my ears that led me to pace faster. The footsteps did the same to. Now, I found myself running and running and yelled for help. Running so fast that I bumped at something and went tumbling after. My face fell flat on something soft and fluffy. My mouth landed on something hard and I opened my eyes to see what it is. I was wide eyed when I saw before me a penguin. How come it had to reach here? Its not cold unless its winter but not really that much unlike the Arctic and Antartica. I wanted to get up from this awkwardness just then everything went bright. I saw bright sparkles roaming around the penguin and me. It was hurting my eyes that made them shut. The presence of it, I can feel it.

Seconds later, it stopped. As much as I wanted to open my eyes, I felt another thing in me. But now its my mouth. Technically, my lips. I get the feeling im kissing at something I havent known. It feels like human lips . I slowly opened my eyes and was shocked.

My eyes were wide blown when I saw a blonde guy before me, still eyes shut, and I feel the presence of a piercing stuck on the other side of his lips. I blinked many times for it seem like a dream. But it wasnt.

The guy opened his eyes, too and it snapped.

I saw the blue in his eyes that I resembled to someone I knew. I despisely knew. Whether its him or not, he resembled just like him.

Just like Luke Hemmings.
