Walking In Flames

Chapter 3

" Julie! Julie please don't leave me. Julie! I cried. I took her cold hands in my hands as I wept. I wish I could bring back the hands of the clock. I wish we didn't have a heated argument. I caused her death. I watched as the doctors covered her with a cloth after confirming her dead. I watched in pain as my twin sister was wheeled away from me on the stretcher.

I jerked up from my sleep. I had a bad dream. I noticed I was sweating profusely. I checked the time. It's still quite early. There were still tears on my face as I remembered the argument I and Julie had which made her leave the house and ended up being murdered by unknown criminals. The police tried their best but those stupid culprits were never found. It was a year ago but it's still fresh in my mind.

Julie Smith was the opposite of me. She was a sweet, nice and kind girl. She didn't like argument but I eventually dragged her into it that day. I was sassy, rude and stubborn but also nice with close friends and family members. We had tons of friends but I shut everyone out when she died. Louisa didn't leave my side even when I tried shutting her out. She was there for me always. Every moment I spent with Julie and my friends were so precious. At that moment I realized the saying

    " Good things don't last forever"

I didn't realize I was still crying until I saw my soaked pillow. I quickly got down from my bed removing Nicky from my arms in the process.
   Yeah Nicky is my teddy bear. It's so cute. I and Julie had the same teddy but her's was called Micky but the only difference was that mine was green and her's was red. Red was her favorite color.

  I walked into the bathroom brushed my teeth and went to take my bath. I came out with water dripping from my body. I walked to my dressing table, plugged the hair dryer to the switch and started drying my hair.

After drying my hair, I walked to my wardrobe selected a red skirt and a white crop top with a black jacket. I wore my clothes and my sneakers.

I applied mascara, eye liner on my eyes and eye lashes. I applied lip balm on my lips and combed my hair packing it in a high pony tail. I grabbed my phone, took a look at the mirror. Satisfied by my appearance I walked out of the room with my bag.

I walked downstairs the house was pretty quiet. Mom must have gone to work last night. I quickly ate my sandwich that I saw in the fridge and drank a glass of water. Sighing in the process. I read the letter mom left for me.

    I wouldn't be back till on Friday. I'm quite busy. Take care of yourself. Love ya.

I folded back the letter wondering if she really cared for me. Yeah she cared. She provided food, money, shelter and other things but we haven't had a mother-daughter talk. She just left like that without telling me where she would be going to.

I grabbed smoothie from the fridge and hurried out of the house. I walked to the bus stop and few seconds later the bus came to a halt. I entered into the bus and sat down. The brown haired boy also sat down by me.

Why are we always sitting by each other. I rolled my eyes when he flashed me a smile. I plugged me ear piece to my ear and brought out my music note. I wrote down lyrics of a song that I made. It's about the pain of my life. Every day I write something into that book. I raised my head and caught the brown haired boy reading my note.

   "What's your problem"? I snapped closing the note.
He looked confused for a moment before a smirk appeared from his face.

I glared at him. He didn't even apologize. He's still smirking. I rolled my eyes at him and plugged back my ear piece. I continued listening to Ariana Grande songs. She's one of my favorite music celebrity. I also love songs played by Celine Dion, Adele, Beyonce and Selena Gomez.

I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I raised up my head and looked at the brown haired boy questioningly.

"We're at school". He muttered under his breath but I still heard him.

I rolled my eyes. "We" does it mean he's attending the same school with me. I don't really pay attention to  those attending the school or not. Ibrushed off the thought and came down from the bus. I saw a patient Louisa waiting for me at the gate.

Louisa!! I yelled making her jump in fright. She turned her head to my direction and smiled. I chuckled at her behavior. She walked to me with her brown hair blown by the wind. She preferred her hair down than being packed.

She's really beautiful. She had hazel eyes, brown shoulder length hair and pale skin. I admire her hazel eyes but I didn't know why. She also liked my baby blue eyes.

My best friend crushed me into a bear hug and I hugged her back.

" You frightened me" she said placing her hand on her chest. I laughed remembering how she jumped when I called her.

She hit me on my arm and pouted. Her pout is really cute. She looks like a baby when she pout.

Ouch! Louisa. I said feigning annoyance. Geez!! I'm sorry I frightened you. I said still rubbing the spot.

"Apology accepted"she said and smiled. I still frowned.

"Sorry Jay let's go to class before the bell rings. We're having Mathematics this morning". She said.

I groaned and followed her. I hated mathematics. I glanced back one more time and saw the brown haired boy with his friends. Yeah I recognized him. They are the king of the school. Extremely handsome. I would have thought they were angels in human form. He flashed me a smirk and I rolled my eyes.

*****************************

Jayden Smith get up now. I heard my name being called and I frozed. I slept in Mathematics class. Shit I said as I got up.
Mind your language miss. Mr Wilson said. I nodded my head and muttered a "I'm sorry" under my breath. I looked at my best friend who was sitted across the class.

"Out of my class and you would be having Detention after school". He said
I bent my head low and walked out of the class with shame. My best friend looked at me and said sorry. I gave her a small smile and walked out of the class.

******************************†
"Jay you shouldn't have slept in Mathematics class. You know Mr Wilson is so strict". Louisa told me as we walked to our gym class.
"I'm sorry" I said.

We went to the girls locker room and changed. We walked into the gym class and we were told that we would be running round the field (5) times. I really love sports especially running because I and Julie always went on a run every morning. I was on the lead as we were running. I congratulated myself for being able to run so fast but soon the brown haired boy ran past me smiling in the process. I frowned and continued running. Soon everyone finished running. We did the push ups, press up, sit up and other exercises.
