alexis's pov
"No you can't do that...we were meant to be together" my voice was hoarse. I knew he was not coming back. They never wanted us to be together and to save my life Sky was risking his.
"I am not leaving you forever! It's just a matter of time...when you will turn 17 I'll come back for you," he said this so reassuringly and like an emotional fool that I was, I believed him.
"I love you!"I said trying to hide the tears welding up in my eyes.
"I love you too!" he embraced me in a hug that felt like he was assuring himself that whatever he was doing was right.
What was he going to do? Change me into a baby and wipe out my memory, my most cherished feelings? He had such a strong belief that I will recognize him and fall in love with him all over again. One could expect that from a human but expecting that from someone like me who did not even have basic feelings when she opened her eyes for the first time was foolishness.
The villagers had slayed our creators and now they were after us. They believed that we had no right to live, as we were not humans. However, we still had feelings and we did not mean any harm to them. I wished they could understand that but vengenance had blinded them. Why was it so hard for them to forget whatever we did to them unknowingly? I hated myself for doing that to them but those actions were taken in ignorance, I never wanted to take their loved ones away from them and I am sure neither did he.
They had tried to make us feel the same pain by slaying our creators and they had succeeded. oh! They were so cruel! I shivered at the memory of them slaying my creators. They loved us so much that they asked me and sky to escape with Edward and stayed back to defend us from those warriors who were clearly powerful than them. I had never experienced the pain of losing someone before that. I didn't like the feeling.
He gently covered me in a soft blanket and put me on a flat stone. I was crying hard still clinging on him persistent to never let him go. He leaned closer to me and kissed me softly on the lips. His lips were not warm and neither were mine but It still felt like I was in heaven, I even managed to forget where we were, most importantly the events that were going to take place in next ten minutes.
After half a minute, he reluctantly let go off me and Edward splashed some kind of water on me. A tingling sensation ran through my body. it felt like I was thrown in an endless tunnel of darkness. The sensation started receding taking away everything that I was feeling. I was confronted by a surge of emotions suddenly and then every part of my body became numb. There were whispers and a cold touch on my lips before I heard faint cries coming from the distance and felt someone carrying me running. I tried to shout, tried to call someone I failed to recall whose name. The pressure was building inside my chest and a drop of liquid escaped my eyes before everything went blank...
(17 years later)
"Hey ally!" a super excited Sophie came rushing towards me. She was dressed as if it was some grand party in a green dress showing off her beautiful curves and matching green stilettos.
"Hey soaph! Ready for our first day of new session?'' I said trying to sound as excited as I could. I always hated first days. First day meant new students and new students meant more glares and weird looks. I usually preferred to ignore people and people ignored me. I was an outcast in their point of veiw, some were scared of me and some had a belief that I was hostile. I was not hostile; it was hard for me to reciprocate their friendly feelings.
I had only one friend in this school and she was Sophie. Sophie was my childhood friend who decided to never give up on me. She tried for almost six years to make me believe that we were friends. She was the one who made me realize that it was not difficult to befriend someone if you like him or her. And that was the problem with me. I hardly liked people.
Sophie was a very pretty girl with large green eyes and blond curly hair that reached her waist. She had a slightly tanned skin as compared to my dazzling white skin and dark hair. She had an overfriendly nature that enabled her to strike a conversation with anyone. As a result, she had huge collection fake friends who followed her around. I would call them fake, as I was perfectly certain that nobody truly cared for her. They hung out with her just because she was famous and half the boys of this school were lined up for her.
She never seemed to understand that, which made her more than happy to have so many followers who bugged her day and night.
She might not mind their presence but I did. It was irritating to see boys ogling at her in the process of checking her out. She had a very dumb boyfriend whom she treated like a puppy and he obeyed her as faithfully.
"Hiiii sweetie! Hiii ally" Kyle came from nowhere and pressed his disgusting bloaty lips on her delicate ones. So sick! I hated those lovey-dovey things that people did to each other claiming them as their way to express affection. I mean since when the exchanging of saliva became a sign of affection.
"Hiii darling!" Sophie returned his kiss in the same way. I wondered how she managed to kiss that guy. I was sure he did not even brush his teeth every day.
He was considered one of the most handsome guys in our school and I failed to understand why. He had same old blond hair, regular blue eyes and fair complexion. The only thing that was different in him was that he was taller than soaph, which was rare considering her whooping 5'11 stature.
"Hey I am going to my class..." I said already irritated hoping that Sophie would follow. Ahhh wishful thinking! She did not pay any attention to me and continued sucking her devastatingly handsome boyfriend's face.
I walked inside the classroom, put my bag on the last desk that was attached with the wall at the backside, and sat with a loud thump. The students who were busy in some animated discussion suddenly stopped to glare at me. See? How important I was? I gave them my usual expressionless look, which made them resume their discussion. The same routine had been followed since childhood. I entered the classroom, people glared, I glared back and then everybody got busy in whatever they were doing before my entrance.
Mr. Lloyd entered the classroom strangely in a very enthusiastic mood. He was a puzzled old man with a round tummy and balding patches on his head. He was considered a Looney who was infatuated with brilliant students like me. His mood clearly indicated that a new student was there and he did not fail my observation again. I heard someone entering the classroom who was greeted with gasps from girls and grunts from guys. I decided to not to look at the new freak to prevent my mood from getting even worse.
"Class I would love to introduce Mr. Sky novels... The new addition to our beautiful sweet little family" the grumpy teacher was literally singing those words which indicated that this guy had a good record.
"Who cares?" I blurted out of reflex. 'Damn' I shook my head hoping that I did not say that loud enough for him to hear.
"Yes miss Alexis? You said something?" Mr. Lloyd shot me you need-to-apologize look. I glared at him for asking me to do such an inferior thing. I never apologized because I was never wrong.
Then I realized that sky guy was staring intensely at me. I was used to people staring at me but this time it was different. His stare was demanding which compelled me to stare back at him. He had tanned skin and piercing black eyes that bore into my grey ones. His dark black hair was lying carelessly on his forehead framing his unusually handsome face. There was something very familiar about him but I could not put a finger on what it was.
how was it? review please!
