Part 3
✿ Jupiter Mei ✿
Why did he run away?
Did I do something wrong?
What kind of music was that?
The music he plays was always gentle…
Why did it become so scary?
And that!
That big black thing!(piano)
What is that??
What kind of instrument is that?
The only instrument able to create sounds is leaves!!
Gentle-calm-placid leaves!
And why is that thing black?!
Black is the color of evil!
Oh…I get it! That thing must be hypnotizing my Cameron!

♞ Cameron Levy ♞
Class is starting.
The teacher began with an amazingly long speech about our classroom’s cleanliness, as half of the class started to snooze.
My seatmates-chatmates-cheatmates whatever went to dreamland as well.
I was left with no other choice than to look over the window.
The tree…
The tree’s beautiful blossoms never seizes to amaze me.
How the petals play in the wind and how those vines seems to move and dance are just exotic.
It feels so…alive.
I glanced down below and I saw her, leaning against the tree.
That girl earlier!
She’s still wearing that tinker bell outfit!
What is she doing?! Those people are staring at her!
Hurry up and change your clothes damn it!
I rushed off the door and felt everybody’s eyes on me as I leave the classroom.
The teacher’s voice resounded in the hall shouting random words like detention and inhumane behavior.
I rushed down the aisle heading to the stairs and out to the garden
There she is, tinker bell.
“Hey! You! Tinker bell!”
Her head swung around and gawd is she beautiful.
Her cheeks coloring a delicate shade of red, sea-green eyes, mahogany hair… if she weren’t a weirdo I would have courted her immediately!
“Cameron My Love!” she bounced her way toward me and hugged me tightly.
My love? <---- what the hell does this mean?!
“I was waiting for you! Are you okay?!”
Okay …
I glanced around the garden and felt the eyes of 5 gardeners penetrating to my back.
This is getting weird
“Um…”
I was only an inch away from her face. And could see every detail on her more clearly, the splattering of freckles on her nose, her long eyelashes, those pink lips…
She looks very… beautiful.
But wait, she’s weird.
“How do you know my name?”
“Oh! I know everything about you! You were born on March, have 2 sisters, lives in Sollace village, loves music and sings very loud!”
I stared at her quickly beginning to panic.
“But, enough of that, Are you okay?! Were you hypnotized? How long till the spell’s broken?”
Hypnotize? Spell? What is this girl saying?
Anyway I have to bring her somewhere, more and more people are looking at her.
“Come with me” I hold her wrist and pulled her into the school.
“Yes?” She asked battering her eyelashes.
“Do me a favor and change your clothes”
“Why?”
“It’s not normal”
She looked at her own leafy-tinker bell outfit and shrugged her shoulders.
“I look normal, it’s you whose not!”
“Me?”
“Yeah! what’s with those clothes! They’re not green! And how come everybody wears the same as you?”
“Because it’s our uniform?”
“Uniform? What’s that? Chlorophyll?”
How did we get into chlorophyll?
“Chlorophyll?”
“Hmm… I only know of green chlorophyll… Maybe there’s a new color now?”
What is this girl saying?
“Anyway, all clothes are made of chlorophyll and leaves! I don’t know of any white leaves since I’m Asian…but maybe my fellow sisters nymphs in America would know!”
She beamed and smiled as if what she just said solved our problem.
Whatever. This girl is really weird.
I took off my white blazer… White chlorophyll-leaves she calls it? And placed it on her shoulders.
“Come on”
She quietly followed me and I led her to a nearby clothing store.
“Wow there are so many colors of chlorophyll!!”
“Enough of chlorophyll, just go change”
I signaled the saleslady and gave her my credit card “Make her look decent”
The lady didn’t seem to bother asking questions why she looks like that and just did her job.
I sat on a nearby bench and read “Time Magazine” while waiting for Tinker bell.
✿ Jupiter Mei ✿
This is so amazing!
I have never seen so many colors!
Chloro--- Wait! I should stop saying that word, Cameron is getting annoyed.
Ooooh!
This is so cute!
A pink and purple leafy top! It looks just like flowers!
I’ve always wanted to wear flowers! Back at home only pixies are allowed to wear those.
I took off my clothes and just as I was half way there the girl from earlier appeared.
“Uhm…Miss? The fitting room’s that way.”
