I skim threw the dresses not really looking just thinking to myself when Jenny comes up shows me this silk pink dress that looks really short and super small. She says "It's the dress I just gotta have it I know he'll like it. He says pink brings out my eyes. All I need now are some shoes. I'm gonna pay for this then go to the store next door for some shoes. Meet me over there when you're done." I nod she leaves. I finish going threw the dresses decide there's nothing I like then leave. As I walk out of the store I look at the store from across me In the window is the most perfect black dress I know it's the one. The dress I was meant to have so I go in. There's a lady at the door to greet me.
"Hello welcome to Fabolous B. How can I help you today?" Her voice is so cheery it's kind of sickening. "Yes I'd like to get that dress there in the window." I tell her. She gives me an annoyed look and says. "That is a very expensive dress. Maybe there is something else you would like to look at?"
Oh I know she did not just go there. Do I look like I'm poor? I mean come on. I'm wearing a black Amani Sequin Striped Tunic with tights and designer flats. She just pissed me off. "I didn't ask you how much it cost. I told I'd like to get it. So if you could be a doll get it down so I can try it on." I say with a sweet smile plastered on my face but my voice is full of venom.
She goes over gets the dress down with a bit of an attitude. Turns to me puts a forced smile on her face and says for me to follow her. At the dressing room I take the dress say thank you and go try it on. When I move my hair from under the dress I see my birth mark as my hair falls to my lower back. It's changed it looks like it grew. Is that possible? Well i guess it could be. Why not I mean if I can be an angel then I guess anything can be possible right? I look at myself in the mirror just what I thought it fits perfectly and I look amazing in it. I change back to my clothes and walk out.
"Thank you so much I love it. I'll buy it and pay in cash." I say smiling and hand her the dress. I watch in satisfaction as her mouth drops wide open. She regains her composure back quick nods smiles and walks to the register. "Your total is $785.92 is there anything else I can help you with?" I shake my head no, handing her the cash. I take my change and dress, leaving without saying a word. I meet Jenny in the shoe store and wait for her to find a pair which could take forever so I grab my phone and text Ajax back.
Me: Hey I'm fine. Sorry it took so long to text back been busy. At mall with Jenny.
Ajax: It's k. Dont lie 2 me I kno ur not fine. I kno u member? R u gonna tell me? Do u want 2 talk about it?
Me: Not lying. I am actually really good I feel great. :-) And no I do not want to talk about it. But thanks.
Ajax: Ok how is the mall? Find anything?
Me: Ok. I got a dress so I guess I have no choice but to go
Ajax: I'm sorry :(
Me: Why are you sorry? It's not your fault I'm a dateless loser.
Ajax: YOU ARE NOT A LOSER!!! Don't call urself that.
I throw my phone back in my purse I'm done with that convo. Finally she's done and we can go. "See was that so bad? Come on Cece you had to enjoy it if you bought something. What did you get? Can I see it?" She gets all excited at the end starts jumping up and down. "A dress and no you can't you'll see it at the dance. You'll have to wait like all the others" She begins to pout but I'm not giving in. "Hey I gotta go I have to meet someone I'll talk to you later." I say and walk off before she can argue or ask questions.
I speed back home. Rush up to my room throw my things on my bed change into my swimsuit and head for the back forest. I know I'm a couple hours early but that will give me time to mess around. I get to the tree house only to discover that Daniel is already there. That's odd why would he already be here? His back to me so I walk up and tap him on the shoulder. He turns the look on his face is fierce almost like anger. Yea that's it he looks angry.
"Is something wrong? You look upset." I ask cautiously. Then his expression changes a grin spreads on his face. That was wierd.
"Oh I am so happy to see you! I didn't expect you this early. I only just arrived. Nothing is wrong I am fine. Oh I have been looking up slang talk. So that way I can talk like the other people here and fit in. How do you think I'm doing?" He ask he seems so happy now like he could never ever be upset.
"It's getting better. So why are you hear so early?" I ask curious I didn't think he would be here.
"I was going to go for a run I stopped by real quick. I was about to take off again when you tapped on my shoulder. Why are you here so early?" He says smoothly.
"I got back from the mall early and wanted to enjoy the nature. Relax a little bit. It's kinda been a stressfull day." I say exhausted. Not noticeing till now how tired I was but how alive I felt. Being awakened really took it out of me or put it in me. How ever you want to put it. My eyes meet his and for a moment it's like everything is gone and it's just us. I realize I'm just staring at him and begin to blush for the second time in a day. I look away embarrassed.
"Shall I mean should I leave you to your nature?" He starts to step away.
That's when I realize I don't want him to go. I don't want to be alone I want to be with him and his sweet smile that makes my stomach do all kinds of wierd things when he's wearing it. I take a few steps grab his arm before he could leave and this feeling goes threw me. This warm feeling my whole body is aware of Daniels skin touching mine. Like his body is calling to mine. Like it knows him. It's so intense that I begin to fall to the ground and then in a flash I'm in Daniels arms.
Apparently I can't conto my own body, because the next thing I know I'm kissing him. When I do the feelings intense. He jerks away sets me down and I emeditatly feel stupid. "I am so sorry. I shouldn't have done that." I say trying to make it better but inside it hurts. Hurts so much to be rejected. I fight the tears that are welling up. I don't want to look like a baby in front of him. He doesn't say anything just takes a few steps away and turns so his back to me. I stare at him just now noticing the rest of him and what he's wearing. A tight black muscle shirt that fits his body perfectly so I can see the curve of each muscle, black gym shorts and tennis shoes.
He doesn't say anything I feel so stupid and rejected. I'm horrified at what I've done. I have never done anything like this before. What was I thinking? I wasn't thinking. That's my problem. I turn and run. Run because I don't want to deal with this and what I've done. It was an accident. I hear him yell after me but I don't stop just keep running. Maybe it's better this way. Better that I don't know him then there's no chance that I could like him then my heart won't get broken.
A hand wraps around my upper arm I'm yanked back I try to pull away while turning but end up falling. I land on something hard but more soft than the ground and warm. Arms wrap around me and then were rolling. I realize were rolling down the hill that leads to the field. We stop rolling he lands on top of me arms wrapping around me tighter as if shielding me to try and protect me from getting hurt.
I look up to see beautiful violet eyes. "Daniel" I whisper a little breathless. He smiles his hand gently brushing agaianst my cheek. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have kissed you. I should just go." I'm a reject always have been not even he want's me. The feeling is coming back of his body calling to me the tingly feeling is growing. I can't and won't do something stupid again. I look away.
" Do you have any scratches? I am sorry I was not watching where I was when I stopped you. I did not expect to fall. You're not harmed are you?" Daniel asks his breathing heavy. His hands brushing up and down my arms, my cheeks, neck every part of me checking for cuts. He's still on top of me. His body feels amazing against mine. I feel my cheeks burning just by thinking of how amazing he feels.
His hand brushes against my chin turning my head so I look at him. "What are you thinking?" Daniel asks his eyes gleaming. I know I can't tell him the truth. I'm already enough of a loser I don't need to add this to it.
"I didn't know you came after me? Why? Why did you follow me?" I ask looking up into is eyes.
"I was surprised with that kiss. I did not want you to do something you would regret, so I pulled away. Your boyfriend would not be so happy to find out what happened. I saw that you were upset. I wanted to calm you. Make sure you were alright." His voice is soft.
"Well I'm great so if you could just get off me. I'll be heading off. I'll get out of your hair." I say annoyed. I push Daniel off me, stand and begin walking in the direction to home. I will end this right now.
I'm almost out of the field when Daniel appears in front of me. "Wait don't leave. Please atleast listen to what I have to say." Daniel says he looks sad. But I'm not falling for it. It ends here. I'm done. I'll never have a life I need to give up and get over it. Daniel was the last straw. I've realized it now I just have to accept it.
"No Daniel I don't want to hear it. I know what you're gonna say. 'I'm not your type it will never work out.' Blah blah blah. Well I don't want to hear it. So lets just end this now I'm leaving, you'll never see me again. Goodbye." I say and take off running before he can agrue. This time there is no hand that grabs me. No one to stop me. He doesn't follow. Soon enough I'm in my back yard bending over. That is the fastest I have ever ran in my entire life.
I'm leaning over trying to gather my breath when I notice, slowing all over by body begins to heat up. From my toes to my finger tips it feels like fire in my veins. Slowly as my body heats up I feel an uncontrollable anger towards everything and anything. Angry and the trees for blowing in the wind. Mad at the leaves for falling to the ground. Mad at the universe. Mad at that all this is happening to me. Why? Why me? What did I ever do? I'm just so angry. Slowly the fire begins to be to much. Somewhere I hear a scream. It takes a minute to realize that I'm the one screaming. Anger quickly turns to rage. I look at my hands surprised to see blue flames coming from them, freaking out I start to shake them trying to gets the flames off of me. When I realize that they don't burn. My body no longer feels hot. Instead a calmness takes over. I'm so memorized by the flames, that I don't realize someone coming up from behind me. I try to turn but something hits me in the head hard, before everything turns dark.
"Look at her mark. She has been awakened. Should we end her now? I think she's still out." A voice says. My whole body hurts my head is bounding it feels like I've been hit by a rock. I reach up to feel where it hurts most right above my right eye. It's wet I bring it down to see blood on my fingers. I touch it again but there's no wound.
"No she is awake. We shall kill the little brat soon enough." A tall dark haired man says giving me a dirty look. He walks over to me kneels down puts a hand under my chin lifts my head up turning it side to side as if trying to get a better look at me. I pull away spitting at his feet. "Don't touch me. What do you want with me anyways?"
The dark haired man smiles stands walks away and says. "Hmm feisty I like that. We're all adults here so I'll just get to the point. We are going to kill you. Can't have you going and helping the good angels now can we? They'll have the upper hand. And that's just not fair. Now is it? Everyone said it would be so difficult to get to you. That I should be careful. Ha what fools. You don't even know what you can do. Can you? This will be so easy." His voice is beginning to annoy me. I look around trying to find a way out of here.
We're in a basement of a house at least I think it's a basement. There is only one way out no windows. Come on think think think. A light switch turns on got it. They're not very bright they left my hands and legs untied. I test myself stretching making sure nothing is broken while keeping an eye on them so they don't notice what I'm doing. Their backs are to me I stand and run to the dark haired guy kick him in the back of his legs he falls yelling the shorter guy with brown hair turns to me. I raise a fist and sock him hard in the nose. I hear a crunch sound so I know it's broken. He screams covering his nose with his hands. I take a cheap shot and kick him in the groin with so much force he falls backward screaming like a little girl.
The tall dark haired guy stands grabs my arm turning me to him out of the corner of my eye I see a fist coming toward me. Before I can duck his fist hits my jaw. My head jerks back with the force. A throbbing feeling bursts threw my jaw as I hear a crack. He knocked it out of the socket. Damn that hurts. "You little b*tch. If the boss doesn't get here soon I'll enjoy killing you myself." His arms wrap around me holding me to his chest. Pinning my arms to my side. I pull my head back as far as I can acting like I'm trying to get away from him. I swing my head forward. My forehead meeting his mouth.
He lets go to grab his mouth when I sock him in the gut. He bends over in pain I kick him in the knee when he starts to fall to the floor my hands land on his head my knee coming up to meet his face. He falls to the ground groaning. I look for the other guy ready to keep going but he's still floor, only now he's crying. What a wimp.
Clapping begins I turn to see a man standing in the door at the top of the stairs. "Well done I did not expect that well of a performance." He says decending the stairs. I'm thinking of ways to get pass him. Maybe I could break his arm. "Don't try it little girl you may be able to fight these two hooligans but you can not fight me." He says and then wings unfold behind him.
