When Two Paths Cross

~Opal's P.O.V.~

Confessions: The quiet ones are the ones who have the most to say.

Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy. Grab my glasses I'm out the door I'm gonna hit the city.

"Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack, cause' when I leave for the night I ain't comin' back." I sang into my brush thrashing wildly with my undone, curly hair. Today just had to be the first day of senior year. But, thankfully I have my best friend since 4th grade, Winifred Foster, ironically she was a foster kid until she was 10.  Now, I wouldn't say that I'm the best singer but I come from a long line of non-singers on my mother's side. But, my father's side of the family love to sing and they're pretty good at it. I even joined the glee club to embrace my "gift". It's kinda hard to juggle. Thankfully, I got most of my genes from my father.

"I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes. Trying on all our clothes, clothes. Boys blowing up our phones, phones.
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CDs.
Pulling up to the parties.
Trying to get a little bit tipsy"  sang my best friend leaning against the door frame. I cut off my music and turned to her.

"What are you doing tonight?" she asked.

"I'm babysitting Voldemort's little sister remember."

She hit my arm before saying "He can't be that bad!" she exclaimed.

"You're right. He's worse. He's the male version of Dolores Umbridge." I said bluntly.

"I think we're gonna have to get him some pink dresses soon." She said walking downstairs as I followed behind. We walked out the door because the house was empty as usual.  My dad was probably out drinking or canoodling some slut.

He's been like that ever since my mom killed herself. I still remember my 4-year-old self-walking into the bathroom. Alec and I were playing hide and seek. We didn't always use to hate each other we use to be best friends. But, we started to separate in middle school. We started finding new friends and his friends weren't the best people and mine were the exact opposite. My mom was bleeding out in the tub and I thought she was just playing a joke on me until I saw the blood oozing out of her both of her arms. Her eyes were wide and panicked like she just realized the impact of what she had done.

I screamed.

What else was I suppose to do?

She was dead and there was nothing I could do about it except for stare. I didn't know what was going on exactly. I was hoping that any moment now she was going to scoop me up in her arms and tell me she loved me and that she'll never do that again. Truth be told I'm still waiting.

"Hey, Carlos are you okay?" Winifred asked while driving, peering at me from the side of her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said wiping a lone tear from my face. She looked at me skeptically before looking back at the road as she was about to pull into one of the last parking spots.

A bunch of rowdy boys swerved into the spot almost hitting us in the process. I rolled down the window and sat on it while flipping the boys my favorite finger. I loathed them. Those were the four "Golden Boys" of Hamilton High. We have the normal cliches here just as you would in any other school. Sadly, were not a bunch of revolutionists.

We have the nerds, the drama geeks, the cheerleaders, the wallflowers, the artists/poets (But don't call them that to their face. They will not hesitate to kill you.), the popular people, the losers, and the Glee Club kids. Oh, and let's not forget the goths. They make life miserable each day and I think that's just what we needed in Tonks Town.

Everyone is put on a pedestal the minute they're born. You either succeed or get out of town.

Now, that you've heard a little about my little ray of sunshine town let me tell you about the "Golden Boys" or the "Golden Quadruplets" as they're known around school. The first one is Brett Edwards. He is the angel in the group, truthfully I like him better than the others. But don't tell him I said that or his ego will explode. He's actually my lab partner in chemistry.

Then, you have his twin brother Henry Edwards. He's the most dashing of the two and came charm his way into any girls pants. Unless I get them first.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

I didn't mean it like that. I meant I would warn them.

We also have Reece Martin. He's kind of like a nerdy charmer. But, he's so sweet. Wini and him are dating right now because I pushed them into a locked room until they admitted they're feelings for each other.

I know you can call me Cupid. I won't mind. 

Lastly, we have Alec Sanchez. The captain of the football team and my worst enemy. I hate him with a deep burning passion. 

We pulled into the spot next to him and grabbed our stuff. As we headed into school.

xXx

School was as uneventful for the first time ever. I got Wini to drop me off so that I could relax before going to the devil's house.

7:59

I got up and walked to his house. Did I forget to mention that we live next door to each other? If you don't know now you know. When the door opened I was informed that Nora had already been put to bed. I was given full access to the T.V. and fridge (big mistake). I sat in front of the T.V. and binge-watched FRIENDS until I heard the door open. I turned around to see Alec's big head walk into the living room. I watched as he came and plopped down beside me on the chair and wrapped his arm around me.

"Can you not?" I said pushing his arm away from me. He looked at me for 5 seconds before leaning into me. I felt his soft lips touch mine. He was kissing me and I was letting him. It's instinct right to kiss someone back after they've kissed you.

Right!?

What is wrong with me?

A/N

There's no telling when I'll post the next chapter but it might be soon because I can already hear the gears turning. That's all for tonight I'm exhausted. I have 2 tests tomorrow and didn't study for either one. I'm so screwed.

Ciao 🇮🇹
