Chapter 3

-AMELIA-

Two hours of detention and on top of that we had it with the dean so you could probably imagine how it was. He made us read history book and write five essays on five different topics. How cruel is that? I had Jen with me so it was less boring. Scowling and glaring at Tania was also kind of fun.

I thought you didn’t like her?

I still don’t.

Then how can you have fun with her

I didn’t mean jolly fun but rather revenge fun. She always got away with bullying and this time she had to spend detention with us.

Jen came out of the building holding her bag towards me indicating that she found it. Somehow she had left it in her classroom and I had to share my stuff with her. Some times this girl has some memory problem. Luckily we didn’t miss the second bus; if we had then she would be ten feet under by now.

“Amelia I said sorry will you please talk to me now?”

I was not talking to her right now because of the whole bus situation remember I told you we missed the first one. I know I am childish but at times I can’t help it.

“Only if you get me ice-cream tomorrow.”

Did you forget to mention childish and stupid.

That’s not my fault. It is because you are my brain.

And you are my owner so I have to deal with all your crap.

She huffed in annoyance and then nodded.

“Okay then.”

"Hey, are you coming for tomorrow's girls’ party?” Jen asked. 

I was thinking about it and I can see how Jen is crazy about it and also not to forget Derek. I knew if I agree then i will have to start thinking about what to wear and who will come etc. etc. Still I thought of giving it a try.

"Yeah I am coming no worries." I said and smiled seeing that my one sentence made her grin like crazy.

Oh! The things i do to make my best friend happy. Our friendship is quite weird when you think about it. Jen is into fashion and make up while I am not. She likes everything to be messy while i like it neat. The number of differences does not decrease only increase. For example, i am a brunette while she is blonde. She has blue eyes but I have hazel eyes like my father. I know that is just external difference and no one really cares.

Jenny and I became friends when i was 5 and we both went to the same school. One day she came to ask me whether she could borrow my pink bunny t-shirt and told me that the colour pink doesn’t suit me. I was baffled but i also found it funny. As a result of her comment i never wore pink again. Jen came to me the next day and told me sorry and in return for forgiveness gave me an ice cream. We were inseparable from then. The similarity between us was that we would both die for chocolate and also hate Tania.

I giggled thinking about all our childhood drama when all of a sudden Jenny poked me.

"Are you even listening to me?" It dawned to me that i was lost in my own thought I didn’t hear what she said.

"Sorry will you repeat what you just said. I spaced out." i said smiling sheepishly at her. She just laughed it off and said,

"I was saying that it is great that you are coming, so today at 7 we will go to the Maggie fashion store to get some cool dresses for the party. So be ready by 6:30 and after shopping we will go to Starbucks for coffee and gossip. "

I nodded, "I will be ready captain." giving her a salute which she returned.

“Now that you agreed we have another problem in our hands.” She said looking thoughtful.

“Now what Jen?” I asked already thinking of the worst scenarios.

“Who will you go with? I am going with Luke but you..?”

“That’s simple I will go with Derek.” I said soon realising what I did. My friend had a mischievous smirk on her face that meant to spill everything. I told her all that happened in the last period and she had a knowing smile on her face the whole time. “What?” I asked her.

“What, what?” She asked me feigning innocence knowing exactly what I asked her. I just shook my head in annoyance while she teased till we reached her house. She said goodbye and left me.

I texted Derek on my way informing him that I will be coming to the party to which his reply was so fast as if he was expecting my reply all this while.

 My mind was full of tomorrow's party when all of a sudden I bashed into a wall.

Who builds a wall on the road Amelia?

I ignored my brain and tried to stand up while trying not to wince from the pain on my ass. I looked up and saw that I had crashed into a handsome young man a bit elder to me, he looked strange and his eyes were dilated. To be honest he was really hot, like one the hottest species I have encountered in my life. He looked around 27 or 28.

I bent to take my books which had fallen in our messy encounter i was half expecting him to help me but to my astonishment he just snapped a "sorry" and walked off. Phew what an arrogant person. It’s an actual waste for his handsome face. I counted one to ten under my breath to calm myself and then continued back home.

I rang the house bell twice but no one was answered. I think maybe Sara had dance classes and mom went to pick her but the car was here. Also the police car which meant dad was still home and I didn’t miss him so it was great but why isn’t anyone answering the door?

So where was everyone? I rang the bell again but to my despair no one opened the door. I started panicking, I saw the door was ajar so I pushed the door open thinking probably Sara was playing a prank on me. How silly of her, though I panicked it was not that scary. Ha their plan backfired.

Nothing prepared for what I saw next.

"Ahhhhh" was only that came out of my mouth.....
