Life hates me
In truth….hanging out with Vince's friends wasn't that bad. Okay it wasn't bad at all, I actually had a lot of fun.
Your probably wondering who these people are huh? Okay let me start with Sarah. She is this blond hair blue eyed girl from California, she's really nice, almost motherly in a way, but that's because her mom was never around and she had to take care of her younger sister and a young age.
Next is Johnny, he's this big (muscle wise) African American guy from here, Jasper ,Nevada, he's been friends with Vince ever since they could walk, he's also a girl's best friend. Why do you ask? Because he's the coolest gay guy I've ever met! That's why! He's not afraid to act weird in front of anybody and he loves a good laugh.
After Johnny is Selena, mousy brown hair and golden highlights, she the quiet one of the group, keeps to herself most of the time, but she's really nice and loves to write stories, I'm serious, with only a few words she can transport you to a whole another universe! It's amazing!
Finally there's Alec, I really didn't like him very much, and the way he was looking at me made me think he had some naughty thoughts going on in his head! He had blond hair and hazel eyes, pale skin and a weird demeanor. I didn't trust him, not one bit. I could also tell that the others didn't like him very much either, the way they kept glancing at him from the corner of their eyes. But to my grave mistake I shook it off as nothing.
The afternoon was awesome; we played music, talked, danced, and sung. We took turns singing, I didn't want to sing, knowing that I wasn't very good, but Alice and Sarah convinced me that good singing came from the heart and pure emotions, and that even if I sucked nobody would laugh at me.
So when it was my turn to sing, and I did, as the song started up I remembered the good times I had with the Autobot, and Jack and Raf, then I started thinking about how they reacted earlier today, and to my surprise that made my voice sound even better!
When the song ended and my voice still rang through the air in finally, everyone just stared at me.
"What?" I asked.
"That was amazing Miko! You should do that for a living!" Alice gushed, and I blushed.
"I'm not that good really. I don't even know where that came from." I tried to explain.
Sarah just smiled and hugged me, man it was weird in a good way, aside from Alec I felt like I could trust these people with my very life, like I've known them forever.
"you can sing like that because it came from your heart Miko, you're a very talented woman, you can play guitar, you're a fantastic artist, you can sing like a goddess, your kind, loving, very fun, wild, not to mention your very beautiful." Sarah said, releasing me from the hug, I blushed again and looked away.
Soon after that Vince dropped me off at my host parent's house. I walked in with a smile on my face, surprising my host parents, but they welcomed it none the less.
"How was your evening dear?" My host mother, Claire Cotton, asked while we were eating dinner.
"Awesome, I made new friends today, their totally nice; well except this one guy Alec, but never mind about him, so how was your guy's day?"
My host parents shared a surprise look that I pretended not to notice, and then they went on discussing their day.
After dinner I helped in the kitchen, drying dishes, humming the whole time.
"Why Miko sweetheart, you have a wonderful singing voice!" Claire said, laughing. It was days like this that I really did love my host parents and even though I was a troubling child (as Ratchet once put it) I knew they loved me too.
"Thanks Claire, well I'm going to head upstairs, oh wait I almost forgot. Is it okay if I go with-"But my host dad, Dalton, cut me off.
"With Celeste tomorrow for shopping for clothes for the art convention?" I was speechless, could they read my mind?
"Celeste called before she went to pick you up from school." Ah okay then, that explains it.
"So can I?" I pleaded and Claire laughed.
"Of course you can sweetheart, but just be careful, don't go anywhere alone."
"I won't." I promised as I made my way to my room. I looked around my room, I didn't know why, but felt like I should be looking out for something. Nothing out of the ordinary though, pushed against my window was my piano key covered bed; on the opposite side of the room was my dresser and he door to m bathroom, on the left side was a table and chair for my artwork and homework, and the right was the computer desk. Nope everything was where it should be.
I finished my homework, plugged in my IPod and phone so they could charge, played a little on the computer, showered, and get into bed, and the whole time I felt I was being watched.
(Line break)
I woke up like every other day, the sun shining on my face, and my alarm clock going off. I groaned, slammed my hand on the sleep button, got up, and got ready for the day.
But when I pulled out my regular clothes, I felt the want to try something new, so I pulled out blue skinny jeans, a hot pink tank top with a shiny black quarter note*, I left the part my hair that was always in pigtails down, but braded the longer sections and put a pink and gold feather on its end, instead of brown and pinks boots, I slipped on a pair of knee length black and white high tops, I applied some eyes liner and lip balm and I was done.
I was just about to go to the kitchen to get some food, when my phone vibrated on its charger. It was a text message from Jack saying that the all the Autobots went on a mission and that they weren't going to be back until Saturday night.
I sighed but texted him back saying thank you. Now how was I going to get to school?
I mentally hit myself in the forehead, I wonder if Vince could take me. I texted him and not even a few minutes later he replied saying that he'll be at my house in 20 minutes.
Scrap, 20 minutes! I raced downstairs and ate a granola bar, went back upstairs to brush my teeth and grab my homework and put it in my Gir messenger bag.
The moments I reached the door I heard a car horn, after locking the door behind me I raced to Vince's car and got in.
"Took you long enough Pixie." Vince said smiling as he pulled out of the driveway.
"Pixie? I'm not that small!" I exclaimed and Vince laughed.
"Yeah you are Miko; it looks like you don't eat very much." Vince's face fell to a worried expression.
"Believe me, I eat. I just have a fast metabolism. Don't worry about me Vince, I'm perfectly healthy." I reassured him.
He smiled a little as he pulled into the school parking lot.
We met up with the others at the doors and proceeded to class. Unfortunately no one was in my first block class and even more unfortunately JACK was in that class with me, and since the school year was almost done and we had no more work to do in that class, we had free time to talk and watch a movie.
I was sketching a rose when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and turned around slowly to face Jack's….wait was he blushing?
"Miko, I was making sure it was you, um….can I talk to you about yesterday?"
Was I that unrecognizable?
"What Jack? What can you possibly have to say to after what you guys said when you thought I left the room?" I asked him coldly and to my surprise he flinched. Was I scary when angered and hurt? The look on his face said yes.
"Miko we were all just angry and worried and tired, but that still doesn't excuse us for what we did and I'm sorry you got hurt." He practically pleaded. I know that I shouldn't believe him, and I still very hurt for what was said about me behind my back, but there was something in those deep blue eyes that made me want to believe him.
After a minute of silence I turned around, I heard Jack sigh.
"I believe you, but I do not trust you. It's going to take a lot more than simple words to gain that back."
I heard him breathe a sigh of relief and get up to leave.
The rest of the day past without any interruptions or any mention of the Autobots.
Celeste came to pick me up the moment I walked out the door and we were off!
I can't tell you how long we shopped for, just that by the time I got home, which was around 9 o'clock at night, I had several beautiful outfits and I was dead on my feet tired. So after I took a shower and dressed in my night clothes, well let's just say I was asleep before my head even hit my pillow.
Good thing I finished all my homework in school.
