Circles Of Infinity

Chapter 2 Something's up

"What the hell !!!" I shouted. 

"What ?" he said innocently,an angelic look upon THE most handsome face I've ever seen. Dark brown waves framed the fine feautures of a Roman sculpture while dark lashes framed his sea green eyes.

"You caught me..." Don't look at his eyes. Don't look at his eyes I chanted mentally to myself.

"You dropped me on purpose!"  I accused him.

He just smirked and replied "I caught you by mistake , pretty girl"

He just sat down back in his original position.

I pulled myself out of the ravine and climbed up to him.

"Seriously who do you think are ?" I shot at him. ( It didn't come out so well seeing that my teeth were chattering from cold )

He was already lying down on his rock and plugged in his earphones.

I climbed up to him and pulled out the earphones and pushed him in the ravine.

"What the fuck!" he shouted.

"You deserved it" I said flatly,walking away.

Suddenly I felt something wet grab my leg and yank me backwards. I screamed like a banshee as I fell backwards into the arms of that same infuriating guy in the ravine.

"What the -" he didn't let me finish as he started slopping mud over me.
He wanted war. Bring it on. I thought and started showering him with mud.

We were shouting and laughing like first grade kids while wrestling in mud.
At the end we were completely breathless and covered in mud.

Just as we stopped laughing I realized I was lying in a super awkward position - on top of him. I got up quickly and ran as fast as I could away from him. I had to get away from him as soon as possible. There was something about those eyes.....
I didn'nt stop running until I reached my home.

I ran in to the house and leaned against the double doors.

"Hey honey good - my Mom's voice died  in her throat as she took in my condition.  

Wet and covered in mud.', I was looking like a strangled cat.

Silently without asking for any explanation she simply gestured towards my room to clean up. My mom has this thing about tidiness which I definitely did not inherit due to mutated genes.

After I cleaned up and came downstairs for breakfast I saw Mom and Dad poring over a huge list.

Am I missing something ? I ask as I sit down to my favourite breakfast of chocolate waffles and syrup. What ? No No.." Mom tried to cover up ( bad attempt as usual )

"Seriously what is going on ?", I ask. 

"Honey I was thinking of giving a party in the house for you.. "

"When ?"

"Tonight" my mom finished.

"No way,no freakin way !!!! Why are you making me do this ? You know exactly how much I hate parties. " I know I'm whining like a kid but I really can't help it because or me party means dresssing up and dressing up means more attention which apparently I can't get enough of. 

"You know sweetie it's only better that you get to know all the people in the new place. I've also invited a lot of the students of East Hampton High as well so you all get to know each other So I suggest you stop whining  and get ready and get down immediately" Mom whirled around and shut the door . Sometimes I really wish my mom was a little understanding. Don't get me wrong. She's a great Mom and all but somehow manners and perfection get in the way.

"Only the rich snobs I bet "  I said under my breath. Did I happen to mention Dad's the CEO of a software engineering company.

"Now let's see", I thought as I pawed my way into the bag of clothes that Mom had left in my room. After a lot of internal debates I finally settled for a black floral dress with lace sleeves and some black pumps.

A few minutes later I examined myself in the mirror. 'Not too bad' I decided. My hair as usual was down my back in soft waves. Never being a fan of makeup I always applied the minimal amount.  Just a bit kohl arond my eyes and a drizzle of eye shadow on my eyelids. My lips and face really did'nt need anythig so I hardly ever bothered. 

Honey! Please come down. The guest are starting to arrive. Mom said through the door.

Coming Mom " I yell back taking one last look at the mirror.

"Get ready for one more evening of boredom Diana " I said to myself as I stepped out of the room.
