Isabella
I awoke to aloud KABOOOM, but that was what I thought. Then I heard an ear piercing scream. it was Hudson, my best friend. Was he ok? Was he hurt? I jumped out of bed in my Pyjamas. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
i was wearing my favourite cotton pyjamas. My hair is unique, it's goldish brown, below shoulder length and curly because my mother is dark skinned, she's Canadian, but with a Jamaican background. I'm athletic looking and normal weight but skinny. I'm 5'7, but my best attributes are my sea- green eyes. Hudson and i have the best eyes in the school. i have pretty nice looking features i guess.
Anyway, Hudson laughed. I looked beside him and saw my friend Kaveh. Kaveh is about 5'6, a little on the muscular side, tanned and has close cropped, jet black hair and warm brown eyes.
Hudson looks different. His hair is originally blond, but he died it black, and it's now turning brunette, but in a flippy style (but not stupid like Justin beavers, briber, O WHATEVER), he is about 5'7, my height, and muscular.
But his weirdest attribute was his eyes and cloths. Whatever the sky was like (grey, blue, and red from the sunset) his eyes reflected on it and would change color. Same with his clothes. It's quite odd... anyway.
Kaveh had pots and pans and Hudson had his hands cupped around his mouth and was screaming, trying to wake me up." I'm awake already" I said "yes!" Hudson said happily, "Kaveh it worked see I told you pans would work" Hudson laughed cockily. "Whatever man at least i am the smart one or else we would never have found the pans" Kaveh argued.
Kaveh, Hudson and I are all 13, and we're in Montreal for our grade 8 grad trip with our class.
"Stop fighting this is our graduation trip. Remember we're in Montreal, not a zoo. Is Councillor Percy up yet?" I asked "yea he's outside swimming in the pond; what a weirdo. Well at least he's cooler than all the other councillors" Hudson said. "Well I'm going to go change into my clothes" Hudson exclaimed, than he left Isabella and Kaveh.
"I'm predicting he's going to wear his gray clothes today because look, it's raining and gray outside" Kaveh said. "Yea he is" Isabella replied. After Isabella finished changing Hudson walked in with all his clothes. He was wearing gray jeans, a gray V neck and a gray hoodie; I knew was from American apparel. He had his big head phones on and his greenish gray belt, both he told us his dad had left for him when he died.
Oh there is one thing all three of us have in common. All of our dads our gone from our life. My dad disappeared one day when my mom was pregnant. "Lost at sea" she told me. He left me a golden and bronze hair clip, to be cherished. Hudson's dad had died in a plane crash on his way home when his mom was pregnant. Kaveh's dad supposedly was burnt to death.
Well on that happy note, Hudson always was spacey unless he had his head phones on.
Hudson said "Percy is dead and gone" which really meant he was gone. Oh there's something you should know. Hudson always refers to songs when answering questions.
"Oh so he's still outside" I said. "Yea" Hudson said flicking his brown hair. Then Kaveh ran in the room "guys Percy's drowning, he's at the bottom of the pool with his eyes closed. He's been down there for five minutes now."
My caring reflexes kicked in and I ran out the door and down the long spiral stairs then out the outside door. I dived in the pond. The water was freezing but it relaxed me almost instantly.
I swam ten feet down then fifteen, twenty and then when I hit twenty five feet I saw Percy. I grabbed his shoulder and pulled .We flew up at ridiculous speeds.
We burst out of the water on the freshly mowed lawn of the hotel my school is staying at. I coughed, but it wasn't for lack of oxygen, it was the wind that flew out of my stomach when we landed.
Percy looked at me like I was the crazy one, "why did you do that" he said. "You were down there for like five minutes!" I said. "I hold my breath for long periods of time, whoopdy do" he said and laughed. I could help but suppress a smile. " hey Hudson could you get me a towel. Oh and one for Bella" Percy said. "Yea no problem" Hudson said and ran to the front doors.
When Hudson came back, he had two towels and said "the room only came with two so you have to dry them". "Ok we will" said Percy.
Then our principal Mr. Mou walked out and said "Isabella! You can't just push a councillor in the water like that. Let's go for a walk". I got angry, i hate when people blame for stuff i didn't do "wait i didn't push him. i did not push anyone.i swear." i whined. Then Percy said "here i'll come with you guys just to help her explain ev-" cut him off "That will not be necessary" he took my hand and walked away.
