Chapter Eleven
I am so sorry for the long wait but I was in my writers block and I didn't have an idea in my head
But a chat with a close friend I realized what I should write. Hope you like it
Speechless
“I know it’s complicated,
But I’m a loser in love,
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts,
Of all my wrecked up friends
Oh, I’ll never talk again …….”These were the lyrics of the song which woke me up and I fell down from the chair. I looked around who played this song, it was Cheshire, he had put on the radio to wake me up.
‘Goooood morning,’ he purred. ‘How come you slept on the chair?’
‘Oh,’ I stretched and replied ‘I was reading a book and I fell asleep. What time is it?’
‘Hmmmm, it’s 10:45,’ he replied turning around in the air.
‘Okies, hmmm, what should I do?’
‘Maybe go to the washroom and freshen up.’
‘Okies, I’ll go,’ I said as I got up and went to the washroom.
When I came out of my room, Cheshire was still in the drawing room looking at something at the grand piano in the upper case of the room. ‘What are you doing Ches?’ I asked.
‘Oh, just looking at pictures,’ he replied.
I went closer and I saw pictures of when I was only four and my parents so happy then took me to a picnic. We were all so happy then, but now ……… He was looking at all my pictures of all the years I had been with my family. Just looking at them made tears come in my eyes. Why am I so sensitive now? I wasn’t sensitive these past months. But now I am sensitive :/ I looked at Ches at how excited he was getting by just looking at them. I didn’t know what to do so I went out without taking my trench coat.
It was cloudy again. Why me? Why am I the one for these things?
I went to Café Nervosa and found Bill sitting there, so I went to his table.
‘Hi Bill,’ I said but he didn’t reply. Maybe he was guilty for killing Danny.
‘Bill I am sorry I yelled at you. You’re my only friend how understands how I feel, I think,’ I said with tears in my eyes, I got embarrassed and went out of the coffee shop and ran towards the park. It started raining again! I got tired of it raining all year round, this emerald city with its state flower Mildew can go to hell for what’s happening to me right now. I threw my hands in the air and let every rain drop fall on me, after a while I felt someone taking my hand and putting it down. That someone pulled me face to face with them but I still didn’t open my eyes.
‘Selena, I’m sorry that I didn’t reply but ……..’ I realized it was Bill and I opened my eyes and I got lost in his chocolate colored beautiful eyes. I couldn’t look away, it felt like I fell on heavens doorway. I shook my head getting out of my ridicules day dream.
‘N …no problem, I am just shocked that you had a Death Note too,’ I replied sheepishly.
‘Yeah, I am too.’
I just stood there, humiliated and blushing deeply. Am I starting to like him too? I am mad like the mad hatter
‘Do you know why a raven resembles a writing desk?’ I asked.
‘Uh, no.’
‘I don’t have the slightest idea too,’ I laughed and he started to laugh too, he looked cute …….what am I thinking?
I didn’t know but I felt happy just talking to him in the rain, why am I not admitting my feelings? Oh, would you shut up!! I don’t like him like him, he’s just a good friend. I hate having arguments with me inside my head.
‘So, is your Shinigami with you right now?’ I asked.
‘Yeah, he’s always here with me. And yours?’
‘Nope, I don’t know where he goes off too.’
‘Hmmmm, seems weird.’
‘Yeah, he is weird, especially ……..’ I got lost in his eyes again >:l Why is this happening to me?
‘Especially?’ he asked. I shook my head and replied ‘N …nothing.’
‘Oh, I thought you were going to say something,’ he said.
‘No I ……I just need to …….um go,’ I said.
‘Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow then,’ he said.
‘Uh, okay,’ I replied a little nervously.
I started to walk, but after awhile I stopped and looked at an elderly man who was bent over and feeding something. Out of my sheer curiosity, that why would someone sit in the rain and I went to that man and asked ‘Excuse me sir, but I am curios to find out what are you feeding?’
‘Oh, ha-ha. I am feeding this little cat. She’s very peculiar you know, I come here every day to feed the pigeons and one day this cat came up to me and sat near my bench. I call this little critter Stephanie; she doesn’t like to be pet by people much so I had to gain her trust. She is very cute and I love her so very much. But she doesn’t want to live in anyone’s home,’ the old man replied.
After a while Bill came behind me and asked ‘Weren’t you going somewhere?’
‘Yeah, but I found this little cat and this old man. I couldn’t help but ask what this cat’s name is,’ I answered.
‘Oh, hehe. What is it by the way?’
‘It’s Stephanie. She’s really cute,’ he said.
I leaned back and I realized Bill was behind me, he put his arms around me, and I don’t know why but I wanted to stay like this. But I reached the cat’s face and started to touch its cheek very slowly, and she purred. In a beautiful way not like Ches. It suddenly got up, and went away on its graceful little paws.
‘This cat is very special in its own way,’ the old man said, got up and went away. I suddenly realized that Bill was still behind me, I blushed.
‘Why don’t we come and visit Stephanie every day?’ he asked.
‘Uh, okay. It looks like Stephanie and the old man are old friends and can do anything to see each other again,’ I said as I got up.
Mackenzie’s pov:
It was boring not to be with friends in school, my brothers were really annoying and I found out that half of our teachers got murdered and schools off for a month. Miss Samantha Angels, Miss Renate Olsen, Miss Ilizah Shaz, Miss Sara Swans and Miss Natalia Amney all of them got murdered and by being suffocated with something ……. La vie est injuste! (life’s unfair)
I as a very deductive sort of person was starting to think it must be a crazed student who is doing this! But even if they were, the question is why? Maybe because he must’ve been crazy or some had mental disorder. But students aren’t capable of these things; it must be a serial killer loose in Seattle. It must be! It isn’t a crazy thing at all, it is a serial killer!
But why did they kill our teachers? They must have something against our school …….. Je ne peux pas croire ce qui se passé (I can’t believe this is happening)
Kamelia’s pov:
Mackenzie gave me the news about our teachers, I didn’t know who was doing this but I certainly hate that person. Killing someone isn’t a good thing to do, you are taking a life away from a body that once had a soul and loved someone. It just isn’t settling with me, people who I knew, why is it that they had to be killed.
And the worst thing of all was that they were my favorite teachers and that school was closed for a month :/
Selena’s pov:
I started to like Bill, it was a nice day. Meeting a new friend and a new cat, I just don’t know what my feelings towards Bill are like, I want to hug him sometimes and sometimes I want to punch his face. But I don’t know what to do when I am with him, I start stammering and my heart beat gets faster. But can it be? No, I liked Danny not Bill. But Bill is sweet, kind, cute, sensitive and sweet, I think I’ve said that. I went to Café Nervosa and saw Karen sitting there.
‘Hey Karen,’ I said.
‘Oh hi Selena,’ she replied.
‘Can I sit down?’ I asked.
‘Yeah, sure go ahead,’ she answered.
‘A half-caff cappuccino latte,’ I said to the waitress.
‘So how are you?’ she asked.
‘Ummm, I don’t know :/’
‘Why something happened?’
‘No, it’s just that I don’t know my feelings.’
‘Well, neither do I. No one knows how they feel and how they’re emotions are going to be like.’
‘Yeah, but for a ……boy.’
‘Why didn’t you tell me that before that you like a boy
’
‘Well I don’t know how I feel yet, that if my feelings are true or not.’
‘Hmmmm, do you feel butterflies in your stomach when you are around him?’
‘Uh, yeah.’
‘Does your heart beat get louder?’
‘Ummm, yeah.’
‘Do you stammer?’
‘Yeah :/’
‘Well, you are officially in a crush, you like him. So, what’s the name?’
‘Uh, you don’t want to know.’
‘No, I wanna know.’
‘It’s Bill.’
‘Wow, everyone likes Bill I didn’t know you did also.’
‘Well, I’ve just started too.’
‘Hehe cool :]’
‘Aren’t you sort of depressed?’
‘Why should I be? He’s a celebrity and you are also, and my hearts already been hit by cupids arrow.’
‘I knew it, talking to someone about my crush I am going to learn love language
‘
Haha, well you have too
’
‘Okay miss bossy boots, I’ll just go now.’
‘But you have too, it’s the same …..’
‘Okay, okay
’
‘So, anything new? Oh, you’ve already told me the newest thing :O’
‘Yeah =P’
The waitress gave me my coffee, I tasted it but it was a little different.
‘They’ve changed these chocolate shavings into an inferior brand.’
‘Hehe, well looks like you’re trying to take your mind off of things.’
‘Yeah, sort of.’
‘So are you going to tell Bill about your feelings?’
‘No not right now.’
‘Hehe, chicken
’
‘I am not a chicken I am ……merely hesitant.’
‘Yeah, sure you are, just wait until he goes out with another girl and then plan to tell him,’ Karen said sarcastically.
‘Well, I don’t know. Are my feelings real or not :/’
‘They must be real after all the questions I’ve asked.’
‘Yes, the tree questions to get to know that you are in love or not.’
‘Lol
’
‘So, I think I shall leave you of this boredom.’
‘Hey, I was not bored. Just thinking that can’t you tell him that you like him? It’s like most of the fan girls tell him that, but why can’t you?’
‘Well, it’s different when a guy like that goes to the same school you do,’ I said as I got up.
‘Oh, I know
Well, it was nice to meet you again,’ she got up and shook my hand.
‘But aren’t you in Lebanon? Like you live there right?’
‘Yeah, I live in Lebanon but I’m here because I love the rain and I’m here for studying. But I’ll go back once I finish my studies.’
‘Oh well, it was nice meeting you again too,’ I said as I went out of the coffee shop. I don’t know why but the day started to fell depressing. I went back to my apartment and Cheshire was playing the same song from morning.
‘Which song is it?’ I asked.
‘It’s speechless by Lady Gaga, I’m playing this song because you’ve met a boy who left you speechless,’ he said with a mischievous smile on his big face and I blushed.
I threw a pillow at him but it went right through him, I shuddered. The day went boring even though I met ……Bill and Karen. Finally after hours of waiting I felt tired and went to sleep as soon as I went to my bedroom.
