Chapter 5. Why Are You Reading Human-Tiger Porn?

---

A week passed by swiftly, my summer days were spent on

50% Dreaming

You may say I'm a dreamer...

But I'm not the only one

See, I got off track, again.

20% Hanging out with my friends

10% Bickering with Connor Matthews (There's still no hint of who may win/lose the game)

20% Reading novels and watching movie marathons

Summer camp was coming up, Spencer will be there!

And Her Ladyshit, too.

*Humph*

Another surprise is, my mother actually showed up and talked to me. Now that's a first.

My mother had told me this morning, "Sierra dear, don't wear yellow with pink, the colour's hideous (no offense to yellowxpink lovers but this is simply made up okay?XD)."

"It's just my PJs, mum," I had said.

"Fashion must be respected at all times, darling," my mother declared sharply.

"What about family bonds?" I murmured softly.

"Anyways, there's a family coming for dinner tonight," she said.

I raised an eyebrow, "You mean your circus friends?"

"It's a party, honey. A p-a-r-t-y, got it? Not a freaking circus." My mother got really annoyed, "I thought you knew what a party is, you're in middle school already!" She exclaimed.

Jeez, woman, I'm in high school.

I shrugged, "Well, they say that when one becomes really obsessed with partying he/she becomes a party animal, so basically you guys form a circus, or maybe a zoo."

My mother gaped at me like a goldfish.

"Or a safari," I added.

"Or SPCA," I continued, "if you consider your party sessions charitable."

"You know what?" My mother snapped, "this conversation is over, young lady, I want you out of the house right now and to be in before 6. Curfew's at 6, junior highschooler," she shuffled me out the front door - I yelled "I'm in high school!" - then she slammed it in my face.

"Ugh I hate her," I muttered, punching the door, "Ow!" I spent the next few seconds hopping around, nursing my fist while glaring at the white oak door.

Sighly, luckily I had my earphones and phone in my pockets - I have them like all the time - I pulled them out and played the song "Love Is An Open Door" from Frozen.

All my life has been a series of doors in my face

I feel you, Anna.

But then suddenly I bump into you

I bumped into Spencer.

I've been searching my whole life to find my own place

That's right, Spencer, your place is beside me.

The time was 10:15, and my mother actually wanted me to go back home at 6.

I called Fern, who lived a few houses away, after a few rings she answered,

"Hey T-Rex, what's up?" Her cheery voice lightened up my crappy mood.

"I got kicked out of the house, again," I sighed, "mind if I crash at your place for a while later?"

Fern chuckled sympathetically, "Your mother again, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Come for lunch then, Cosette."

Les Misérables? I smiled, "Thanks, you're the best, Jean Valjean. See ya later."

"Bye, T," Fern laughed and hung up.

That Fern's a sweetheart. No kidding.

I figured that the best way to kill the time was to go to the bookstore.

***

The bell rang as I opened the door of 'Oh Come All Ye Bookworms', the shopkeeper - Terrance - grinned at me, "Hiya Sierra! Long time no see."

"Hey Terrance," I walked to him and hugged him, "how're you doing?"

To interpret my question, I meant, "Hey Terrance! How are you coping after 'the tragedy', I hope you're okay."

Terrance's girlfriend got into a car accident last year, the crash ended her life at instant impact.

Sadness shadowed Terrance's eyes, "I'm still really depressed about it, yes, but I found Astyr and - "

"Terrance Williams, are you flirting with a customer?!"

A pretty red-head with vibrant green eyes stormed into the store, she looked about 25.

Terrance smirked and pulled the young woman to his side, kissing her on the cheek, "Astyr, are you jealous?"

I giggled at them, they are so sweet.

"Hi, I'm Sierra," I introduced myself, shaking Astyr's hand, "I've known Terrance for many years, he's my best brother ever."

Once Astyr knew that I was not romantically involved with Terrance, she relaxed and shook hands with me, smiling happily.

After that she turned and kissed Terrance, both of them lost in their lovey-dovey world.

"So...I'll just take a look around," I said awkwardly.

Terrance grunted a response and I walked away from them, shaking my head. I'm glad Terrance found Astyr, talking to him was like talking to a walking zombie last year, he loved his ex-girlfriend so much. But looks like Astyr may be able to fill the gaping hole in his chest.

I ran my fingers along spines of the books, searching for a romantic and cheesy one.

Hmm, Tiger's Curse.

I flipped the pages over and found the chapter where Ren revealed his true form to Kelsey.

I was so deep into the book, I literally jumped in surprise when a voice spoke, "Why are you reading human-tiger porn?"

Guess who?

Connormoron Matthews.

I see him everywhere.

"Human and tiger porn? Really, Matthews? This is literature," I protested.

Connor shrugged, "Whatever Sierraporn, I know you're plotting to do the same thing that Ren and Kelsey are doing with me, I don't blame you either."

"You. Arrogant. Pig." I growled at him, lunging for him, punching his chest repeatedly.

Ouch, his chest is rock-hard.

He suddenly cried out, "Help, somebody's trying to rape - "

I clamped my hand over his mouth, outrage colouring my expression.

He grinned wickedly and after I released him he mouthed to me,

"I love you too."

What did he get?

"Get lost, Matthews."
