MONSTERS (Z. M)

Chapter 10

Cherry
"Hello blossom" I turned to my  other friend Venesa, pulling her into a  hug.I had held on to the tap for too long because I thought I was going to pass out earlier . "Happy birthday blossom. " I smiled because no matter how many times I had told her not to call me that, she kept doing it until the whole campus was calling me blossom. She pushed me away to get something from her handbag. "here you go, open it now."

"Right here, why?" I asked curious and she nodded smiling. It was just a small package wrapped in purple, and why was she asking me to open a present in the bathroom? Couldn't it wait?

I slowly unwrapped the gift wondering when she even got the time to go shopping,that exam had taken alot of our time lately . Sighing, I pulled out a really cute Rolex wrist watch. "Thank you, it is beautiful."

"You are welcome, it is water proof and, no more coming to class late."

"Main reason you bought me the watch? Honey I am done with school, you were there." her mouth formed and O with realization, as if she had forgotten about that. "Thank you, I am going to need this when I join my brother and... ."

"Your super cute boyfriend?"

"Yes, with my super cute boyfriend." I  pulled her into another hug.

I think I stood for too much longer than I should have because I started feeling dizzy again. I held onto the sink with all my might in order to not succumb to the darkness that threatened to consume me. "You are very pale right now, what is wrong?" I exhaled looking at myself on the mirror. I almost ran at the sight of my reflection. I looked bad, scary, ghostly pale.

"I wasn't feeling wel..." her phone went off really loudly scaring the both of us. Really, was she partially deaf or something? what was with that level of volume? It could make an ear bleed. .

"It's Regina." she whispered before answering it. I turned to my handbad that I had left on the sink earlier. I fetch my phone and was shocked by the number of missed calls and texts.

I walked back to my earlier spot as she hang up. "she asked me to tell you to wait for her here. And to tell you to answer the phone next time, unless you want her in a mental asylum." Drama queen in the making. What did my family think of me anyway? That I was two and I could wonder off without supervision? I hated being being followed up and down by those huge men or Regina or everyone, every single time.

It did not take a second and she was there looking almost paler than I did a few minutes earlier . "I am sorry. It was on silent mode.... Still is" I  waggled my phone in front of everyone.

"It's okay, I am sorry, I was late. I went to buy you this, " she stretched a neatly decorated small box to me.  I could tell it was a box because of the shape. "You are welcome!"

"Another watch?" I guessed ripping the box from the wrappers. It was bigger than Nessa's gift but way too light." I am the only one who forgot my birthday, sweet ." well not just me, my dad, Zayn,Henry and Justin also did forget. Zayn didn't bother me, but the rest, they always competed who would be the first to greet me happy birthday. "I can't believe I am not a teenager anymore." I giggled clutching the half open gift to my chest.

"Open it." my eyes widened. Okay, what was in there that I needed to see that badly. Gold? Opening something that looked like a chocolate in the bathroom, felt like some serious joke. Because we both knew I would not resist eating them there.

"What's this?" I chuckled holding out a pregnancy's test kit. "of course I know what it is, but I don't understand, you think I am pregnant?Not that I won't be thrilled but I am not pregnant, we use protective measures."
