Her Silver Eyes - The Promised Neverland OC

Chapter 9 - Back to normal

I open my eyes and get up. Here we are, in the outside world. Me, my siblings from Goodwill Ridge and Grace Field and all the other farms.

Now we all live together in this big house, bigger and more modern than the orphanage. As a big, no, giant family. But it's cool.

We also can wear different clothes now. It's a secret, but the kinda girly side of me really wanted to wear something else than that boring white shirt and skirt. I think I know what to wear today...

It's warm outside, so I decided to go with a white t-shirt that has "fuck off" written on it, light blue denim shorts and black overknee socks with garter belt and grey trainers. I also put on a choker.

This outfit is a bit controversial. Perfect!

The number on my neck and shoulder is gone. It's satisfying. After all, It's like symbol of our freedom.

It was only 5:03 AM, but I always get up early.

I entered the kitchen to see Liliana. She was wearing a red summer dress. It made her look even more mature.

-You need help with that, Lili? -I asked, helping her set up the table.

-Thanks, Rhea. Isn't it funny? It's been 8 years since the last time we set up the table together.

-Yeah. When you were 11 and I was only 3...

-You were so small you could barely carry a few plates. -Liliana teased.

-And you used to tie your hair into pigtails. You looked like a dumbass. -I teased back.

-Eh? You thought it was cute back then!

We both laughed. It felt awesome to spend time with Liliana again.

After the breakfast was ready, Ray walked in, wearing a black hoodie and jeans. Emma in a t-shirt with a giraffe on it and shorts was right behind him. Gilda had a sweater and a cute, pastel pink skirt. I'll also admit that Don looked nice in that galaxy shirt. And Anna looked like a princess in the blue dress. The little ones also woke up, all wearing colorful shirts or dresses/skirts. Norman was the last one to get up. He had a white shirt with blue stripes on it. Aww, cute!

-Are you really gonna wear this around the kids? -Ray asked, staring at my outfit. -Look how cute the other girls are compared to you now.

Oh, I see. He's trying to embarrass me. Pretty clever, Ray, but don't forget who was the smartest child back in Grace Field.

-You want to see me in cute clothes? -I asked with a smirk, causing him to blush heavily.

-I never said that!

-You have to stop failing for Rhea's tricks, Ray. -Norman said, laughing.

-Yeah, and try to be nicer. -I said. -No need to get teased by me just because I'm not cute.

-Does this seem fair to you? -Ray asked, annoyed. -It's okay when YOU make fun of someone, but I should be nicer?

-I help people realise their mistakes in a humorous manner. -I explained. -You, on the other hand go straight to offending people and treating them like idiots. Grow up and know the difference, Ray.

Emo Boy hissed at me and went to Emma. How childish.

-Rhea. -Antoinette said. -Would you like to go with me and the other girls to the beach again?

-Sure! How about we take the girls from Grace Field as well?

-Of course!

-Wait, you're leaving us here? -Don asked with disappointment as he and the boys watched us leave.

-Yup! Try not to destroy the place while we're gone! -I cheered, closing the door.

As we arrived, the girls from Grace Field and Goodwill Ridge got along immediately.

Gilda and Anna were playing with Antoinette's black, long hair. Sienna was giving Jemima a piggyback ride. Emma stood in front of the sea, posing so that Carrie could take a picture of her. Beverly was building a sand castle with Yvette and Sherry. Alicia was playing in the water with Erin. Macy and Vivian were talking about something.

And I was sitting on the sand next to Liliana, holding sleeping Carol in my arms.

-It feels crazy to be honest. -I said. -We burned down our house and got separated for 8 years when I was at Grace Field collecting as much information as possible and you guys managed to find the king of the demons and convince him to change the promise. And now here we are, just chilling at the beach, no numbers on our bodies, wearing normal clothes. It's insane.

-Exactly. -Liliana smiled. -I mean this world is completely different than the farms. But it's amazing and much wider.

-Duh. -I rolled my eyes jokingly. -At the farms, there was only a house and a forest, and here is the entire planet!

-Still... Were you happy at Grace Field? I was wondering since we escaped.

-Heh. Good question, Liliana. And the answer is: yes. Even though I knew it's a plant, I love my new siblings just as  much as I love you guys.

-...What about your new Mama?

-Isabella? Well, she was nicer than Chloe. She even asked if I want to be a Mama.

-Is that why you left her behind? -she asked, smiling.

-Yeah. I went easy on her. I could have get her killed.

We kept talking until I heard my phone ring.

-Hello? -I said.

-IT'S BURNING!!! -Don screamed -IT'S BURNING!!!!

I could hear the boys screaming in the background.

-Where's the fire extinguisher!? -Ray yelled.

-I want my Emma! -Norman cried in terror.

-Ugh, we have to go back. -I turned to the other girls. -I bet they were trying to cook something. You know how Don is at cooking...

-Well, no time to waste. -Sienna laughed.

After we managed to safe the place from burning down and ordered pizza for dinner, I ended up washing the dishes with Ray.

-So have you worked on that? -I asked.

-Worked on what?

-On not failing for my tricks~!

His face went crimson again.

-I thought you already forgot about that!

-I never forget anything. But you know what? I don't mind you being so naive. It's cute.

-...Are you saying that to make fun of me again? -he asked, still blushing.

-Nope. You're genuinely cute.

I chuckled, seeing Ray hiding his blush. Okay, maybe I should stop, he looks like he's about to die of embarrassment.

-You should go to sleep now. It's late.

-O-Okay... -he said, going upstairs.

Boy, he's got a huge crush on me. It's kinda weird that he loves me, after all I'm pretty rude sometimes. I mean, I have great abilities, but still.

And do I love him?

Of course. My Emo Boy is perfect. I wonder if he'll have the courage to tell me how he feels? Oh well, time will show.
