Chapter 2 Jealous Girl!
As we drove I kept looking at her hand on the steering wheel. It was so white, Pale as if the moon had passed through it, leaving it a transperant silver. The light glinted off her hand every time she changed gear. My eyes wondered up to her face. I imagined having such eyes as hers. It was as if nothing was missed, they caught every movement of every living thing. When her eyes shifted to mine, I felt an odd sensation, one i had only thought would be felt when reading horror stories. Her gaze was captivating, and Her eyes, those yellow coloured eyes, were, impossible to explain. she looked at me for a long while, I was caught in her gaze, A chill ran down my spine. she turned her eyes back to the road. "sorry!" she muttered, "For what?" My voice was so shaky I could hardly believe it was Mine. "For…Forget it!" she sighed.
Evilly didn't talk to me much after that, that day. By third period Evilly still hadn't talked to me since the car trip. I kept asking her if something was wrong, she continued shaking her head in answer. I was starting to think that by some unment motive i had blown it, that she was infuriated with me and by the end of the day she would blow me off.
When school was finished I didn't wait for Evilly, I just started walking home. I decided to go a different way, the longer way so as to clear my head and so, if she came, Evilly wouldn't find me. 'My first best friend and I blow it, I'm such an idiot!' I thought. I was startled by head lights. It became clearer and I saw it was Evilly's car. She stopped and got out, "Come on, it's raining, you'll catch a cold!" she called out to me.
I then realised it had started to rain, it had been drizziling a few seconds before, but now the clouds were looking angry. My options were clear, either I let myself be steered to the car and await the blow, or I walk in the chilling rain until i am drenched to the bone. I continued walking.
Evilly was suddenly standing infront of me, and by doing so she stopped me, "What's wrong?" she asked, I tried to push past her but she was too strong and I ended falling to the wet pavement. She picked me up off the ground and pulled me to her car. Laying down towels she had found in her boot. She came around and sat in the driver's seat. "Cathy, what's going on?" she asked, I didn't speak, my lips felt frozen together, even if I wanted to talk, The numbness wouldn't let me.
"Tell me, please!" she begged. I felt confused, "I dont get you Evilly," I fumed at her "First your all nice, the next all hard and not very talkative and now you want to know if I'm alright." I started to cry, she wrapped a blanket around me and draped her arm around my shoulders. "This is the last thing I need Evilly, My parents got a devorse a few weeks ago, my moms trying to deal with rent by working full time, I have not seen my dad in ages, and Now, Now I dont know wheather or not to trust you." I sobbed not caring if she thought it childish. "Cathy, the reason I wasn't talking was because I had a lot on my mind, I wasn't ignoring you. Cath, you're the first best friend I have had in years, and I mean years." She stroked my arm with her free hand to comfort me. I felt a wave of relief.
When I was home I didn't make tea, I decided to make a pasta. I felt so great I even made brownies. Mom was more than surprised to find dinner on the table and brownies for dessert. "What brought all this on?" she asked, I just smiled and hugged her. I slept well that night, thinking of all the things me and Evilly could do. Movies, picnics, shopping and other fun and girly things.
The next day I asked Evilly if she wanted to go and see a movie, she smiled and said she would love to.
The movie was fun, me and Evilly laughed all the way through it. after the movie I couldn't stop laughing as I thought about all the great scenes. I fell onto the floor from a fit of giggles, Evilly had to lift me up. I never realised how strong she really was.
We ate at a Greek Café and talked about movies we should see next. We went shopping, I brought a really great T-shirt with 'Heathcliff + Cathy; written beside a picture of the two that had been printed on the black shirt. Evilly looked brilliant in a white blouse she found at Bling Denims.
At eight I invited Evilly to come to my house on Sunday, we could work on our English or something. She arrived in the blouse she had brought with me with a pair of black leather jeans. She looked like a gothic vampire. I complimented her and she returned the comment. We came up with heaps of ideas for our English homework. I ran to the kitchen and warmed up some cookies and brownies and brought them in. Evilly was staring out the window, she turned to me when I came in. she walked very fast and came up to the front of me. She grabbed a cookie and bit into it. it was gone in less than a click of the finger. She took the plate from me and put in on the table. "Glad to be of help 'Friend'!" she said and we both laughed.
Later, as we worked on our project, I worked up the courage to ask "Do you have any family?" she looked up at me, surprised by my question. "Umm…yes! Why?" I just shrugged, too embarrassed to say why. But she pushed me, "I want to know why, tell me!" I shook my head, I admit I was afraid, afraid of what she'd say. "You thought I was a Goth who had ran away from home!" a statement, I nodded. She chuckled, "I get that a lot!" I thought about that for a minute "You get A LOT a lot!" we both laughed. "you have a good sense of humour, yes, I have family." I was still getting over her last statement, "I would like to meet them sometime!" that threw her off course, "I doubt that would be a good idea!" she started chewing her bottom lip. I just shrugged. "Whatever!"
Me and Evilly were walking outside in the park one Sunday morning, when these gorgeous boys ran by. They whistled when they saw Evilly, I felt a twinge of jealousy. Me and Evilly sat on the bench watching the life of every person in the park. "you're so lucky!" I suddenly said before I could stop myself, I saw her lips purse. "Why do you say that?" she asked through clenched teeth, "I didn't mean…it's just, you're so pretty, those boys who ran past kept their eyes glued on you till they turned the corner." I felt her relax a bit beside me. "I wasn't always like this. I used to have pimples on my chin and on the side of my face. I used to be extremely ugly. If I was still sixteen, those boys would be running for the hills." I felt better after that, but there was one question that was still tugging at me, "Ask whatever you like!" she said suddenly, "Why did you choose me as your friend?" there was a pause "You remind me a lot of myself, I see a lot of me in you!" I checked my watch "We should go, I have to get home before mum does!"
We drove back home in Evilly's snazzy car. "Are you going to get driving lessons?" she asked me, I shook my head "Why?", "I used to have lessons but I failed and I stopped!" , "In other words you gave up!" irritatation, "Who are you to judge me?" I snapped, "I'm sorry to offend you, I didn't want to judge you I'm just saying you didn't try again!" when the car stopped I jumped out quickly without saying thanks or goodbye.
Evilly was by my side in an instant, I kept unlocking the door, "Cathy, I don't want to leave with you angry with me!" I turned to her, "Your so perfect, your voice your looks, I could never be better than you in a million years! I hate standing next to you and never being the one with eyes on me! I Hate you!" I was so angry, I saw the hurt on her face, she turned around, without a word and left.
It wasn't till I was inside and sitting down when the realisation of reality set back in, I had just pushed away my one best friend. I felt like such an idiot. Such a loner.
