Hi my name is Mariel Simmons I have short brown wavy hair and brown hazel eyes and lightly tanned skin.
I'm 16 and live in a small texas town named Rosewater (yeah bet you never heard of it) and right now i'm in jail in korea because I did something unspeakable with my best friend Artemis Jackerson but maybe I should start from the begining because if i were to start here it wouldnt make sence so let me start from about a week ago when this all happened.
Chapter one (Mariel)
I woke up to my pretty pink and baby blue striped wallpaper and my unicorn stickers i've had since 5th grade.
"I wonder if Artemis is awake yet?"
I was summer break and I always woke up early because I vowed that this summer i'd be my best and have fun because I mean whats life without fun right?
I walked to my second story window and opened it to see the normal clothes line that ran from my window to Artemis's and I had a little mailbox tied to it so i could pass messages to her from my window.
I wrote on a paper
"wake up sleepy head"
with a sleepy puppy face then i slid the mailbox across and it hit with a thud.
I waited for a moment then the windows opened and I saw Artemis yawn at the window then she opened the mailbox and saw the paper.
She sent me a note back it said "Why are we up so early its summer" and it had the usual kitty face emoticon that was sleepy.
I sent another back telling her to get dressed and meet me outside in five.
She sighed and closed the window.
I put on my usual summer style because it was only normal which was my 2Cute4U
t-shirt which was long so i tied it in a not to make it a half shirt and to match it I wore skinny jeans and my cute pink converse.
I looked at my pink messenger bag that i always brought with me when me and Artemis went on adventures which made me nostalgic so i brought it hoping she would bring hers.
I rushed downstairs and outside my parents didnt mind because I did this every day with Artimis so theyre used to it.
I walked outside and saw Artemis waiting there on the swing we had.
Artemis had long black hair and light olive skin and she had very pretty gray eyes she was slightly taller than me.
"What are we doing today since its the third day of summer and you cant waste one to just sleep."
Artemis laughed.
"Well i was thinking we could stop by the mall then maybe the town library."
I smiled.
"Our town is so small im suprised we have a mall."
Artemis wasnt from here she was born in Californa but after her parents died she was shipped to live with her grandparents in Rosewater when she was nine which is when i met her.
"Yes but they have a new KBB CD!"
I squealed because i loved KBB which is the best K-pop band ever!
"Oh god my best friend is a fangirl for a korean pop band."
Artemis stared in confuzion.
"Yes Jinkin is my mini mochi!"
I loved Jinkin he was the head of KBB and he was the cutest!
"oh lord."
Artemis muttered.
"Okay lets go before they sell out!''
I pulled her by the arm.
"I doubt people down here want a KBB CD."
Artemis sighed.
"Just incase we should be first in line!"
I giggled.
"Fangirl..."
Artimis sighed.
"I've seen your fangirl moments and I know exactly who you will scream over."
I remebered the anime charater she loves what was his name again?
"I don't know what youre talking about."
Artimis held her matching purple messenger bag and I snatched her phone from it.
"I remember his name is Death kid!"
I clicked her home button on her phone and it revealed her screen saver of a black haired boy with golden eyes holding a gun.
"Erp"
Artemis blushed at the sight of him and it was so funny.
"Dang you know me well."
She laughed taking back her phone.
"Quick lets go!"
I giggled as we ran.
Me and Artemis ran into the music store and I ran to the CDs to see if they were there but they werent.
"WHERE ARE THE KBB CD'S?!?!"
I franticly looked around then I saw Artemis ask the guy that worked there.
"Sorry they just came in so we havent put them up yet but i can get you one."
the guy talked with Artemis and he brought her two CD packs.
"Since you were first in line we were having a secret give away and you get two full VIP passes to KBB's tour concert!"
The guy handed her two boxes.
"What?"
She looked at the boxes labled VIP.
"Thanks?"
Artimis payed for the CD's.
"OMG THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
I fell to the floor crying happy tears because you dont understand this band is my life!
"Mariel your gonna get us kicked out."
Artemis laughed.
"Ops sorry."
I stood up from the floor and screamed when she gave me my box.
"This isnt a scam is it?"
Artemis asked.
"Nope heres the contract."
He handed her a stack of papers.
"TELL ME WHERE TO SIGN!?!"
I grabbed a pen ready to sign.
"No wait this could be a scam let me read it first."
Artemis scanned the paper but i already signed my name.
"Dang you Mariel you probably just signed away your soul!"
Artemis was always so cautious it keeps her from having fun.
"You worry to much."
I forced her to sign her name.
"I swear if i just signed my soul away im eating yours!"
Artemis roared.
"Oh Artemis your so silly."
She rolled her eyes then her eyes caught something or more specifically someone.
Her eyes caught a cute boy with black hair whos name I knew.
"Nico"
I waved to him.
"Hey Nico!"
I called to him from the store across.
"W-what are you doing!?"
Artemis coughed.
"What Nico likes this place we see him all the time and he was bound to come in anyways."
Artemis wasnt very social so she really only liked to hang out with certain people but shes also very popular with the younger grades due to the inccedent.
"Hey."
Nico smiled.
Nico was a senior and we were juniors he was a popular rich kid although he wasnt a bully like the rest of the stuck up rich kids in the town in fact Artemis has a secret that only us three share but thats for her to tell not me.
"Hi Nico did you hear the new KBB CD came out today!?!?!"
I showed him the CD and the box.
"Cool I'm not into that though but I'm here because I heard the new Symmetry 8 CD is out...but also cause you called me."
Nico said.
I looked at the clothes he was wearing he wore a black long sleeve shirt although it was summer and jeans and his black hair was cut like the anime kid Artemis liked also his eyes were an odd violet shade.
"OMG THE NEW CD FOR SYMMETRY 8 IS OUT IM SUCH AN IDIOT HOW COULD I FORGET!"
Artemis searched the shelf.
"Here."
Nico pulled two off the shelf and walked over to the guy.
"That'll be twenty bucks bro."
Nico pulled out a credit card.
"N-no Nico you don't have to do that!"
Artemis tried to pull out money and of course I knew she didnt even have enough but she tried but he already swiped his card.
"Where'd you get a credit card from you know I've never even touched one."
I giggled.
"Here you go."
Nico smiled and handed her the CD.
"U-ugh."
Artemis held the CD confused.
"Don't worry about it okay?"
Nico smiled and lets just say his teeth were so white they could blind someone.
"You don't have to buy me stuff just because you feel bad for me."
Artemis tried to give the CD back.
"It's not that I mean you wanted it right?"
Nico said calmly.
"Yeah but I don't need your pity."
Artemis crossed her arms but still held the CD because I knew she did want it.
"No pity at all lets just say its a thank you gift."
Nico smiled again.
"So what this one gift is gonna make everything okay then tomorrow you'll go back to being a stuck up rich kid."
Artemis said harshly.
"Ouch you're a tough one any other girl wouldve screamed or fainted."
Nico pretended to be hurt.
"So I'm not any other girl."
Artemis quoted his words.
"Thats for sure."
Nico meant it as a complement but she didnt pick up in it.
"Why because I'm not a freaking preppy beauty queen who's worst fear is breaking a nail?"
Artemis mimicked a preppy girl.
"No you're better because you're not a stupid preppy plastic and also good inpression."
He laughed.
"Yeah I'm not like other girls so you can't buy my friendship."
Artemis said proudly.
"Who says I want your friendship I already have that."
He shrugged.
"Ugh who says we're friends."
Artemis frowned.
"Well I know you very well and you wouldn't talk to me if you didnt like me."
Nico smiled and Artemis knew that was true.
Artemis didnt respond.
"Dang thats true"
I giggled and high fived Nico.
"What the heck I thought you were on my side!"
Artemis crossed her arms.
"Oh sorry I forgot."
I stepped behind her and shut my mouth.
"So are we friends?"
Nico stuck out his hand to shake with her.
Artemis thought about it.
"Fine but don't think I'm friends with you because of this its just because of what you did for me the other day."
Artemis frowned.
"Good to hear I'd exspect no less from you cutie."
Nico liked to mess with her but i doubt he really liked her like that.
"Don't call me that."
Artemis laughed.
"You know since we're friends now that means we can hang out and stuff."
Nico smirked.
"Cool your jets hot shot, Wouldn't your rich friends see and you'd be teased again."
She flipped her hair.
"I don't care."
Nico said.
"No thanks if any of my fans see me with you they'll question my power."
Artemis looked around.
"Please I did buy you that CD anyway."
Nico shrugged.
"Why do you wanna hang out with us anyway."
Artemis was being a little crule but we've had cases like this before so we are extra carefull but after what he did for her the other day i say he's cool.
"Because I want to be friends and I wanna show you I meant what I said I don't lie."
Nico said
although I wouldnt know what he said to her because I was "sick" the day this little promise happened but Artemis told me about it although i doubt she told me the full story.
"Fine but I swear if this is a trick or something I'll ruin your rich boy manicure!"
Artemis said.
"Oh no not my manicure!"
Nico said with sarcasm.
"Shut up."
Artemis laughed and for a second she let her guard down.
