The rains dropping from the sky.
The gray clouds forming on the sky.
The wet soil and the green trees. It's all beautiful.
If only I can go outside and actually feel the rain drops on my skin.
I would take pictures of all these.
I would restore them in my memory.
I can actually sits around here for hours.
I want to touch the rain and take in the fresh air and the smell of the woods.
"Are you planning on sitting there for hours?"
"What else can be done here?" I told her not even looking away from the breath-taking scenery.
"Why don't you joined me and list why this place sucks?" she said her voice sounded very annoyed with all of this and my sudden interest sitting on the floor.
"It's not that bad for me. I love the rains. It's peaceful"
"I hate rains." Melissa said in a whiny tone. I turned around and looked at her. Her blue crystal eyes that always seems to shine now looked bored and her curly brunette hair being put in a messy bun. Her doodle t-shirt fitting her body perfectly. Her skinny jeans and her red converse. She's gorgeous. I can't deny that even in millions of years. I wonder how are we twins? I don't look like that. I may have the same hair and the same eyes but I can never be her. She's more feminine than I am. Even if it's not that much but still. My thoughts were interfered by Daniel's voice.
"Have you seen my guitar pick? It's missing"
"Nope" I answered him looking at his deep brown eyes and brown hair that is messy in a very good messy way. He was wearing a pair of jeans and also a white t-shirt and a black sneaker. As much as I hate to admit this. He is very good-looking as well but I won't tell him that because that is how brothers and sisters are. You can't change the way of life.
"You've been sitting there all along. How do you know it's not here?" Melissa said rolling her eyes at me.
"Well thank you for being nice"
"Anyway, when will my car arrive?" Daniel asked us looking bored and sitting on my bed.
"Tomorrow maybe" Melissa answered turning herself around the study chair.
"Nic, how long have you been staring?"
"Not that long Dani"
"Please she's been sitting there for hours"
"Why don't you go out? I know you want too"
"I wish I can. Mum stopped me just now. Said it's too dangerous"
"Well that's very typical, but since when have you ever listen to what she said is dangerous? That didn't stop you from doing all those sports that she hates"
"Typical Nic would be running around the rains by now" Melissa said smiling at me.
"I would do that, but mum and dad are fighting. I don't want to make it worse."
The both of them just exchanged looks and smiled.
"You know. Mum already gives in about the plasma TV. We are getting one each. All because she is going to be out of town for a few days for some meetings" Melissa said.
"Well that plasma TV cheer me up" I said smiling to the both of them. We all just looked at each other.
"The basement would be nice for a game room don't you think so?" Daniel asked us smirking.
"Exactly what we were thinking" Mel and I said in unison.
"Well you guys are call twins for something"
"Well anyway. Dad is going out of town tonight. Better tell him this evening. Mum is going tomorrow"
"If mum doesn't know about this then we can have our game room no doubt" Daniel said right after Melissa.
"You know dad. He'll give in eventually" I told the both of them and finally got up and dust the invisible dirt of my black knee high shorts. I pulled my hair in a bun and straightened my t-shirt. I was wearing a shoulder-less black and red stripes long sleeves and also a black T-shirt over it written 'I'm wickedly weird, SO back off!' with red converses.
"Can't take it anymore huh?" Daniel asked playfully and smirked.
"I don't care if it's dangerous."
"There you go our Nic is back" Mel said.
I walked downstairs with the both of them on my back. I grabbed my Nikon camera from my back first of course. We all walked in the living room when we saw a few guests there. Well so much for my picture taking now mum would be furious if I went out.
"Owh kids. You're here. I was going to call you" My dad said making everyone turned their heads around looking at all of us.
"This is Billy Black and Sue Clearwater. Sue's children Seth and Leah and their friends Embry Call and Quill Ateara"
"Nice too meet you" Billy and Sue said.
"Hey. Nice to meet you guys too" Mel said.
"Yeah, me too" Dani said right after Mel.
"Yeah" They ruined my plan.
"This is Daniel and the twins Melissa and Nicole" My dad said pointing at each of us.
"Well why don't you come and join us?" Billy asked. We sat down and well it was a good thing we have a big living room with all the big people coming in.
Leah sure is beautiful. I do mean it. If you pushed away the frown and the bitterness in her face. Other than that athletic body, dark brown hair and eyes. Seth wasn't that bad either. His messy hair and well he is a bit too big for his age I mean come on He is one year younger than me. Quill, well let's just say he smile a lot. His muscle can be seen from his shirt clearly. I mean the guys are huge with crop hair and tall heights and dark brown eyes. I can say the same with Embry but he is a bit shorter than Quill but other than that. They can actually be brothers.
The conversations went well except for a few of my stupid babbling and my stupid questions being asked. I mean I asked Billy how old is he? I mean he asked me how old am I? And well I being the pathetic me answered 'I'm 16. How about you?' am I a genius or what? And then that wasn't the end of it. I babble like buffoons, saying ' I don't mean to be rude but I'm used to asking people back the questions that they asked me and well it's becoming a habit right now and I really sucks with conversations. Usually when someone talk to me and they don't ask me questions. It'll end up in dead silence and I don't know why I'm saying this and well I seriously need to stop. I really should stop right about now ' and I said all these in about two breathe. Isn't it awesome? I just made a joke out of myself. Then they all laughed at the breathless me. How happy am I to be able to give them an entertainment.
They eventually leave after a good time of me making a fool of myself. I really wished that they left sooner. They make my stupid sides come out with their questions and their friendliness. I'm not very good with friendly. I didn't just say that.
Anyway when they were leaving. My parents walked them to the porch and Dani went inside the kitchen. There was only Melissa, Embry, Quill and also myself inside the living room.
The guys walked out when Embry turned around.
"You know. You are pretty cute when you make a fool of yourselves with all those babbling". Is that supposed to make me feel better? Not
"Yeah got to agree with that" Quill said. It was actually a surprised I remembered his name. I'm really bad with names. And numbers and faces.
"Uh-mm... Is that a compliment?" I asked them.
"Supposed to be." Quill laughed at my questioning face.
"Yup" Embry said nodding.
"You have a very nice laugh by the way" Quill said towards Mel. So she has a nice laugh and I'm cute when I make a fool of myself? Am I supposed to be happy with that? Not that I don't appreciate the compliments. I really don't. Let's just forget I said that.
"I'm not trying to be rude or anything"
"You are trying not to be rude from just now and it looks like it's really hard doing so" Quill said smirking at me.
"Ignore him. He is being stupid." Embry said smiling.
"No it's fine. It is true so why should I deny it? I mean it is hard"
"Nic I'm explaining what you just said. You are saying you are rude" Mel said chuckling.
"Yeah. If you put it that way" The others just laughed at my reply. Embry tried to hold his laughter and ended up chuckling.
"Anyway you were saying about?" Embry said trying to be nice.
"I was saying. I'm not trying to be rude about the compliments but she has an amazing voice and I'm cute when I make a fool out of myself, but how is it cute when I'm making a fool out of myself?" I asked them.
They just laughed this time Embry now trying to hold his laughter. I don't get what is funny?
"It's rare for people to be babbling here" Embry said.
"In this case. You are rare altogether" Quill said.
"I got that a lot"
"You should get it a lot" Mel said. Then my brain just found out what was funny. I don't want to think about how desperate I sounded about being complimented. I wasn't saying that. It's just weird. How can that be cute? It's stupid.
"Anyway, we should get going, nice meeting you and see you soon" Embry said walking towards the front door along with Quill "See you soon" he said waving his hand.
"I'm really stupid"
"I do know about that" Mel said grinning at me.
"I'm not tan and I babble. Just great"
"Well whatever you do. I bet we are the hottest news for now. With a town this big. There is nothing happening here" Mel said walking towards the kitchen.
Great my first day and I found out that
- I am seriously pale compared to them
- I am not tall enough
- I am rare course I babble
- I'm incredibly slow. I know that a long time ago.
Awesome day isn't it?
