"Piper you need to pack! all you have been doing for the last 4 hours was read!" My mom said in her usual angry tone.
I looked up from the book I was reading, 'Eleanor and Park'.
"It's only for a week, there is not much to pack… seven shirts, five or six pairs of jeans, three books, prismacolor pens, hairbr-"
"alright that sounds like a lot to me, if you are going to keep talking then you might as well talk to yourself" and she left my room.
'success' I thought and continued reading till the next chapter.
After that I had gotten up and started to pack the things I said to mother, plus some of my favorite and tiny boxes that fit in the palm of your hand. They held tiny candies of assorted colors of red, blue, violet, and green. I decided to eat one or two while packing it, this wasn't going to be a long drive and my parents trusted me enough -strangely- that they would drop me off at the bus stop and continue my route on the train. We had planed for me to go to south carolina to visit my cousins. I may leave my friends, but we can still send emails, and text! I admit the other three are nothing alike, one gets angry over something so simple, another likes to keep to herself and usually is calm in all situations, and the third keeps us all together… she likes to be the leader, and she excepts people for who they are -like me- and fights with the others to calm them down.
Then there is me. I never want to sound selfish and I don't instantly take things people give, I love everybody for who they are… but if I need to, I will get angry. I also tend to switch my emotions a lot, people calling me bipolar and i always have to correct them saying, "If I were bipolar then I think I would be in a hospital with mental therapy". some persons are mean because of how happy I act, saying I want attention and all of that but its more like i want friends and people get to talk to… they are only mean because they are afraid and I say let them be, cause if they don't see me for who I am than for what I am, then they are not the right people.
"that's a lot of books you have there, it's like you're planing on shutting everyone out once you get there" my dad stood in the doorway.
"best plan I had all week, and besides I have video games"
"that legend of zelda game? I'm still wondering why you have several of the same game, its just a green guy named Zelda going to save a princes"
"dad there are 1: a series of differing games with only some of the same characters, 2: the 'green guy' is named Link, not zelda, and 3: the princes you are saving just so happens to be a reincarnated goddess"
"okay sweetie, I was wrong but we need to get going" he said and walked out
I sighed to myself feeling my heart whimper. I grabbed my suitcase, and my laptop -which was in a red computer bag- then went to the car.
'only twelve minuets to the bus stop'
i sat down and rested my head on my left hand, and folded my legs thinking of insults that wouldn't hurt a person too much.
'incompetent blade of grass'
'you're and idiot who is an idiot'
'(you're ugly) yes but I'm not a mirror'
I hummed to myself as my dad slowed to a stop. He helped me get my stuff and said his good bye. My mother didn't really care that i was gone for a week, so oh well I'm the one who is having fun.
I thought about my ear surgery I had a month ago, boy was I in pain. my hand reached up to the back of my ear feeling a pink scar, as I sat down.
"when is the bus going to get here?!" I said to myself.
I heard footsteps, not human ones but a deer's, behind me. I turned around, got my stuff and followed it, wanting to get a rad photo for Facebook.
I hadn't noticed I went very far into the woods, and lost the deer.
"oh DEER" I laughed to myself, and stepped on a rock
"OWW! oh gosh that hurts…" I yelped and tripped, typically my clumsiness as usual. I shut my eyes waiting for a hard fall, but instead wind rushing around me. One of my eyes opened and I fell on a hard stone path, somehow safe… but my bags? not sure.
I opened my case and all of my clothes disappeared and replaced with… the stuff hylanders would wear? The books were the same, my phone was nowhere to be seen, how odd…
my head looked up, scared
"where is my necklace?!" I searched around and finally found it… but it had changed to. from my silver fringed, red, and small pendant to a gold-looking base color with tiny symbols of elements, like fire, water, earth, and air.
"WATCH OUT!" I hear a yell
I stand quickly as my head turned to see an arrow flying towards me. One of the best things you should do… is place your arms in front of you and try not to be killed. You never know when a shield you had the whole time, that you never noticed, would protect you. my head looked down at the ground, hair hiding my face..
four figures ran my way
"hey, are you alright?"
"yes she is you idiot! look, do you see any blood?"
"I'm sorry miss…"
"are you okay?!"
one of them hugs me quickly.
"y-ye… ah" I barely manage to get out, not really fond of talking to people I don't know, but they seem nice
I lift my head up and put the shield down, looking at them… they are all so… cute.
"huh? are you tr-"
"No way" the one in green says
"we are the same person, but a sword split us to four…" violet speaks
why does that sound familiar… I feel like I'm losing my memory somehow.
"well nice to see you too" i hear me say. wait. Me?
my head turns that direction, a person with the same looks as me wearing orange is staring at me. The other four look that direction as I get up and inspect her
"if you're me… what are the four candies in my bag?"
"red, cherry tasting, bubbling candy; Blue, sour fruit taste, cold on the tongue candy; green, soda pop taste, hard candy; and purple, grape flavored mint" she spoke specifically
"AH HA! its's V-I-O-L-E-T violet, not purple!" this was an argument between myself when I was little.
"hmm fine… oh and have you checked your clothes yet?"
"yes, but I'm not a mirro-"
"dont… yellow"
the other four stared at us while we fought, I didn't notice she called me yellow, she was orange heheh…
"STOP" green speaks, we both shut up and look to them.
"we need to introduce ourselves, Im link… well we are all link, so i am green"
"Im blue, but the better part of link" he says as green said "hey"
"vio, nice to meet you miss…" he smiles a tiny bit
"Im red! Its nice to meet the two of you!" he looks to us and smiles brightly
we wave at the same time
"im Piper"
"but I'm Piper…"
"then you're yellow, and you're orange… ora for short" red says
"alright"
"HEY you don't go calling me whatever you want, got it!?"
"emergency hug!" i glomp ora so she calms down, cause red was tearing up… he looks soooo cute!
they laugh and smile as ora pushes me off, I whine and pretend to cry. then act funny
"oh you're so full of yourself!" orange says to me. we sit in silence as she kinda just insulted herself, time for my comebacks to kick in.
"what am I supposed to be full of then? bees?" i say, but instead of laughter from her she slaps me. they all stare in awe. I put a hand on my cheek staring at her. I grip my necklace
"w-why di-" she disappears.
"oh okay… fine" i snap. red pats me on the back while blue, green, and vio glare at him. my stuff changed into a brown bag that i had slung over my shoulder earlier.
"can you guys give me a hug?" i say in serious need for comfort, red instantly reacts and does so, blue and violet seem like they don't want a hug, and green just looks like he can't decide.
I smile to myself and hug red with the beginning of four friends.
Thank you for reading, i don't own anything but myself and my books so go home and read.
