D.C. I DO NOT OWN DOM
JIMENA POV
I frowned, picking at my nails. Where could they be? They were supposed to be here half an hour ago! I fretted, frowning more, my black eyes narrowing. They probably stopped for burgers or something. "Tsh, stupid teenagers ..." I mumbled as I rose, walking around my apartment absentmindedly, straightening magazines on the edge of a coffeetable, fixing a lamp on an end table, picking up some dirty clothes of Collin's, who was out surfing, once again. I heard a knock on the door and, before I could answer, two young, teenage girls walked in.
The one in front was about 5'9", 5'10", with short, strawberry blond hair that was straight. She had a heart-shaped face and large, expressive and innocent blue eyes. She smiled at me appologetically. "Sorry we're late, Jimena ..." She said in her quiet, musical voice.
The girl behind her was about the same height, only with shoulder-length, wavy brown hair and light green eyes. She was stretching like a cat, her right arm straight in the air, her left hand holding directly below the elbow of her right's. She yawned, her mouth a wide O, her eyes shut and brimming slightly with tears once she finished stretching. She scratched her back. "Yeah, sorry Jemmy," she said with a smirk as she toyed with her necklace.
I rolled my eyes and dropped the subject. "Did you find the other two girls?" I asked, getting right to the point.
"We found one," said the strawberry blond as she pulled a manilla envelope from her backpack and held it out to her. "A miss Carmen Jane Kelly, known as CJ to her friends. She goes to the same school as us, but we never paid much attention to her. She has short brown hair, and light brown eyes. She's a straight A student, a few close friends, and really nice. She gets along with a lot of people, and is in a fair a lot of extra-curricular activities. They're all listed in the envelope. We didn't get the chance to speak with her, but we'll try to do so tomorrow. As for the other girl, we were unable to locate her."
"Thanks, Lou, you tried your best," I mumbled as I flipped through the papers in the envelope, my eyes scanning the sheets.
"Yeah, she's a friggin' tree-hugger," the other girl said. "Into all that 'let's all get along,' and 'world-peace' crap. Not to mention she loves the earth. Friggin' flower-child ..."
I looked up at her with only my eyes, which darkened dramatically, which was nearly impossible. "You do realize that if she is like that, she can control the earth, which is far more powerful then water, don't you, chica? I swear, sometimes Syd, you've gone muy loca." I rolled my eyes as I looked back at the file.
"Whatever. The fact-of-the-matter is, is that we can't talk to her unless we corner her away from her friends, which is highly unlikely. So what do you expect us to do?" Syd demanded.
"Nothing for the moment, not until you find the other girl. I have a feeling that she, also, goes to your school, so keep a good look-out. Remember, your necklaces will vibrate when you're near her."
"Yeah, yeah ... Let's just hope she's not another tree-hugger. Come on, Lou. Let's go get some milkshakes and burgers. I'm absolutely STAR-VING," she drawled out dramatically, turning on her heels and strolling towards the door. She paused and looked over her shoulder as Lou began to follow her, directly at me. "Oh, and one more thing. I was surfing today and saw Collin. He was talking to some really tanned blond chick on the beach, blushing and crap, so I think he might be cheating on you." With that, she turned towards the door and opened it, walking out. Lou looked at me sadly and appologetically and, without saying anything, looked forward and quickly followed Sydney.
The door shut with an eery creak behind them, slamming shut. Then all was dead silent.
