Cyd and Shelby had just left Shelby's house to go to school when Cyd found something very interesting on the street.
"Look at this Shelbs!" Cyd gets Shleby's arm to get her to look at the add of a party that was going to happen that night at a new bar in their neighborhood.
"That so looks like you would love, it's a shame we can't go" Shelby said like it was nothing and kept walking leaving a shoking Cyd behind.
"What do you mean we can't go?!" Really Shelby had said like it was so simple they couldn't go, but why not?
"Cyd pay attention, it's at a bar, and very late, and like those facts weren't enough there's a big 21 at the botton, and just in case all this time travel made you forget how old we are, let me remind you, we're 15!" Funny how shelby said all that and Cyd didn't seem to pay attention to any of it.
"Pleeeeeeaaasseee" Cyd asked woth puppy eyes
"There's no way a person would let us enter there and it's too late, my parente won't let us get out this late" Cyd was getting impatient.
"We can say we're going to sleep at..."
"We also don't have any other girl friends we're close enough to try to pull that one out" Shelby interrupted her.
"Why aren't you bothered by this?" Cyd was frustrated at this, she wanted to go so much and she couldn't figure out why Shelby was so calm
"I'm happy at 15, I'm ok with it, I'll go to parties when I'm old enough" she said and turned to go back to the direction they're going before.
Never thought I'd say that, but I so wish I could be old enough to go wherever I wanted. Cyd thought to herself while running to catch up with Shelby, but she didn't see a dog going her way, and that made her abruptly stop and almost fall. She just didn't because Shelby was able to get her arm; the only problem was that Cyd was thinking about being old enough to go to parties while Shelby because of Cyd was also thinking about adulthood. So at the exact moment Shelby's hand touched Cyd's arm, they vanished.
-Cyd-
"Wait! What! We weren't thinking about going anywhere, how did we.." Cyd stopped talking when she realized Shelby was by her side as usual when they time traveled. What the heck is this place. She thought turning around, it was dark, clearly it was night, she was at a room, at least that's what it looked like, it was all quiet so she decided to whisper.
"Shelb's! Hey, where are you?" She whispered
"Not again, go back to bed Cyd" Cyd heard a strange voice she was pretty sure she'd never heard before.
That's weird, who's that? Should I ask? I mean it's obvious that she, sounds like a girl, knows me, where the hell is Shelby? What should I d.. Oh My! She stomped her feet at something very tough.
"Why do you insist on sleep walking?! Really Cyd, this must be the tenth time I wake up because you hit something in the middle of the night." The strange girl said, Cyd heard movements, was she getting up? OMG I can't act like I don't know her too late, the lights were on. Cyd was now able to see the mystery girl. She was 100% sure she had never seen her before, she was old, older than her and Shelby, maybe in her early twenties or something around that. She wasn't tall but from the distance Cyd couldn't tell if she was short either, straight brown hair at her shoulders, she was in her pj's, that Cyd loved, it was full of dark clowns just like the portrait she had, she could see how they could be friends. The looked at her like she was crazy. "What did you hit this time?" Hit? Ohhhh yeahh my toe, I forgot just as she remembered the pain came back and she pointed to her toe that was the size of a strawberry and just as red. "I'll get the ice, really Cyd you've got to stop this, or one of these days I'm gonna tie you to bed"
So, we have the same taste about horror, it looks like we sleep in the same room, but she's older than me, who is she, a cousin? A family friend? And what year is this? Cyd started to wonder while the girl got ice. I think I'd better sit down.
"Why are you so quiet?"
Maybe it was a good idea to say something "I'm sorry?" She managed to say
That sounded soo weird my voice is different, she put her hand over her throat and repeated the sentence feeling the vibration to make sure that sound came from her
"No need to repeat, I know it wasn't on purpose" The girl said making Cyd realize that repeating the same sentence more than a couple of times seems a bit crazy At least it's I'm sorry.
"What?" She looked at her
"What? What?" Cyd replied, she really didn't know. "Your eyes are beauty.." She stoped herself when she realized she wasn't thinking those word but speaking them
"What? Did you hit your head as well?" She put her hand over Cyd's forehead as if to check if she were sick.
Of course she thinks I'm sick, who complements the eyes of old friends, you say that when you meet someone for the first time and I have to pretend that I know this girl as much as she knows me.
"Why are you worried?" she asked with a frown, and the only thing Cyd could pay attention to were her hazel eyes.
"I'm not" She wasn't sure if worried was a word for what she was feeling so she didn't feel like she was lying.
"I'll pretend I believe" She said "Here, give me the foot you kicked the bed with" She sit besides Cyd, on the bed and got Cyd's leg to try to get her foot.
"Hey!, what are you doing?!" Cyd said pulling her leg to herself.
"Stop being a baby, c'mon, give me you foot so I can put ice on it and we can go to bed."
Cyd gave up trying, the girl didn't pay attention.
"Alright, what day is today? By the way." She tried to ask "I'm still a little asleep, I'm not sure" She added
"It's Wednesday, we have a test tomorrow, in case you forgot" the gave her a crooked smile
A TEST! What the hell was this place - Cyd tried her best not to freak out on the outside cause the inside was on fore - Did I change schools? I'm not studying with Shelby anymore? Breath Cyd, you have to breath.
Her foot was starting to get numb when she heard a song coming from the direction of her bed
"I'll get it for you, take the ice" The girl got Cyd'd foot up so she could stand and put it back on then bed "Well it isn't a surprise" She said giving a cellphone to Cyd, when she got close enough Cyd could see the name Shelby on the callers ID she couldn't help but feel relieved, and happy. "Yeah yeah, please be quick, don't forget we have a test tomorrow, and go to the living room, I want to sleep. After saying that, the girl went to her bed.
Cyd got up, her foot was better, she walked towards the door she assumed would take her to the living room, there was no other door in the bedroom. She hit answer and put the cellphone over her ear
*Cyd OMG, are you ok? Where are you?* Although the voice was differente she knew it was Shelby, and she never felt so happy to her her best friend's voice
*Shelby, it's so good to hear your voice, I was so worried* She tried to speak as slow as possible
*Why are you whispering? Aren't you alone?*
*No, apparently I live with somebody else, I appeared in a bedroom with two bed and another girl sleeping in one of them. Do you know where you are?*
*No, I'm in a house alone, I'm trying to find something that tells me where I am, and I found the phone and saw your number, it was last one dialed, it wasn't a surprise* Cyd heard her laughter
*yeah, and the date?*
*I saw on the phone, we're in 2021*
*Whaaaaaat? We've never gone so far into the future* Cyd was in shock, at least she had a year now, when Shelby atrted to talk again she heard a noise coming from the bedroom
*I shoud go now shlebs. I think I have a test tomorrow the girl I told you about wants to sleep, talk to you in the morning ok?*
*Ok Cyd, take care, we can't go back unless we're together*
*yeah I know. Good night Shelbs*
*Night Cyd*
With that Cyd went to bed.
"That was faster than usual" Cyd heard as she walked towards
"Well, somebody was bugging me with bed time, what could I do?" She couldn't help, she liked that girl, maybe they were good friends
"As if you listened to me. Is everything ok?"
"No, but they will be"
"Well if it's anything with your relationship with Shelby, I'm sure you'll get thr.." She interrupted and that caught Cyd's attention "…Oh by the way, you asked me to remind you that your 3 year anniversary is next week, if you forget again, Shelby will not forgive you this time"
What was she talking about? Anniversary? Shelby forgive me
"I can't believe, you really forgot again? I don't understand how Shelby is still with you."
"Sorry?" She had to say something
"Nothing, I've already said many times that you two don't match and that you have horrible taste ion women. But She's you girlfriend I'm your friend, the only thing I can do is be here for you if you need, like remind you about you anniversary, now good night"
Wait what? Girlfriend or girl friend? 3 years what? What? What? Great I'm not gonna be able to sleep at all after that, I'm gonna think ab…
She fell asleep
