Chapter 3
I sat in the bar, looking at my drink, I was glad they let us drink underage. Although it went against everything I believed in. Today was a great day, me Nami and Lumina went out to spend the day in Mineral town, we dressed up and everything. I wore (and am still wearing) a black tee shirt with hello kitty in the front with a bright purple bow, dark skinny jeans, and purple flats with black bows in the front. Nami wore a bright yellow tee shirt with a Paul Frank monkey on it, normal denim jeans with a pretty gold belt with heart, cup cakes with faces, puppies and the like shaped charms and yellow flip flops. Lumina had a more "preppy" outfit. She wore a bubblegum pink tee shirt with Hollister written on it on it, Silvers light straight leg jeans, a pink Gucci belt with a matching patent leather handbag, and to top it off, Juicy healed flip-flops. We talked to everybody we saw, even the people we didn't know. I talked to that guy Kai, he was so amazing, the kind of guy you would want to be around, he seemed like a great friend. He asked me for my home phone, and gave me his cell phone number, he said he needed one because he is always moving around. He seemed cool I guess, whatever.
I sipped a bit of my drink as I swept my side bangs out of my face. Nami has done a "do over" to my hair again. The first time she dyed it bright red, like hers, we looked alike, although our faces where WAY different. The time after that she dyed my hair black, it actually looked pretty cool. The time before this one, she did it platinum blonde, she liked it, the boys did, everybody who mattered, so I didn't. This time she cut it as well, she did a good job too. The result was now brown, my natural shade, with red streaks on my bottom layers, which were just trimmed down, although she cut my top layers short, going down until my ears, my side bangs were now bigger, covering a bunch of my forehead. She could seriously make a living out of this. A lot has happened in these past few months. For one, I took my cast off. Rock and Nami broke up. Like all the girls he's broken up with, she cried for a bit, but eventually got over it. I was lucky, I didn't cry for a bit, just ignored it. He's been dating Lumina for three weeks now, Its SO isn't going to last long, they may both be blonde, but that doesn't mean they should be together. I think Rock would be better off with Muffy, I've heard some nasty things about her, I just hope she could have made him pay for all my friends hearts he has handed back in pieces to them. He has already dated Muffy though, along with every girl in the whole freaking valley!
Speaking of boys, I have not seen Skye around for all this time. I have been purposely avoiding him for a while now. I know It's rude but he is seriously powerful, what if I simply got lucky last time with the chick beam thing? Besides he's a thief, and not just a thief, a freaking phantom thief! Yet it wasn't that though which bothered me. If I liked him, I could do it from a distance. If I really cared about him, he could do damage to me. I told myself over and over, It's for the best, I know it is. But I still yearn to see him, I have told Nami about this certain longing, she told me that whatever I do, she has "got my back". Popuri said something different though. I looked at the clock. It said 9:45. Popuris words from days before rang through in my head. "Oh my gosh, If you don't you will regret it! It's a shame your totally stubborn." She said smirking. That really ticked me off.
"I am not! He has things he could use against me." I said defending myself.
"Well if you don't make a move, your going to wonder what might have happened! That is no way to live Miraa." I sighed. I hated her logic "He comes around ten o'clock pm every good day, except holidays.".
"How the heck do you know this?" I asked, astounded by her down right wrong knowledge. She looked at me smiling,
"I kind of followed him around…" she said blushing. "Just TRY Miraa, I can tell you care, you can't fake this one!"
"Miraa… got something on your mind?" Asked Muffy as she snapped me back to reality for nearly a few seconds. She began talking about the farm and how it may get hard, I wasn't listening. Skyes face reappeared in my mind. His hypnotic eyes taunted me. I looked at the clock once again. Popuris voice came back to me. "Just Try!" I heard her say in my brain. The clock said 9:47. "Just TRY Miraa!" I heard remembering once more her words. I looked at my now empty cup. Then at the clock once more, it now revealed it was 9:48. "JUST TRY!!" said her voice ringing once more in my head. I mentally shouted SHUT UP! In my head.
"I know It's hard, but just try Miraa." Said Muffy, bringing me back to this universe. I had completely forgotten she had been talking, How impolite of me!
"What?" I asked in soft undertones of laughing nervously in disbelief. What the heck was this girl even talking about? Was she reading my mind? It didn't matter. It was probably about something like the farm. But that doesn't mean I have to do nothing. I have to do this "I'm sorry, I have to go." I said leaving cash on the bars counter and leaving in a hurry. I had barely any time to waste, I quickly paced to the path to mineral town. I finally got there after what seemed like hours. I looked at my watch. 10:15. I paced around for a while. After what seemed like days I looked at my watch, it told me it was 11:00. I know I was tad late but I should have seen him anyways. He isn't coming. I started walking back, toward my house. I tried, perhaps one day I will try again, whatever he probably found a girl to go to. I approached my house slouching, and a little bit disappointed. I slowly opened my door and walked in the dark. That's when I saw something on my bed, being illuminated by the moon from the window near my bed which was the only window was open in my whole house. I froze in terror staring at him. I quickly examined to see who it was. I realized who it was.
"S-Skye?" I managed to utter in complete fear and shock.
"Hehe I thought you looked beautiful in overalls, I guess you just took it to a whole new level." He said not noticing my shocked expression. I made my to my bed shakily and sat beside him on my bed.
"How did you get in?" I asked him "I usually use a key…"
"Babe, I'm a burglar. I know these things" he said smiling.
"You stole something?" I asked him hoping he would disagree.
"I hope" he said looking in my eyes. Oh how those eyes taunted me. "You changed your hair." He stated.
"Does it look alright?' I asked him simply for assurance.
"mhm" he said. "Right here, right now. With the moon shining on you, you look amazing.
"Ah, Thanks." I said trying not to sound grateful.
"So… what took you so long?" He asked me.
"Ah." I thought of what to say, I didn't want to say I was waiting for him. "I went to the bar."
"Girls shouldn't be out this late, especially at the bar." He said. "I'm glad you came though."
"Wait…" I said realizing he was in MY house "You mean your glad you came, I'm usually here, this is kind of my house."
"Well I wasn't going to see you any other way." He stated the obvious.
"Hmm… well what's new?" I asked him "You haven't stole anything in a very long time."
"Miraa, have you ever met somebody who makes you want to be better?" he asked me. "Somebody who, when you see them, you want them to approve of everything you do. Then just seeing them is better than the thrill and gain of doing something bad."
"So… who is this lucky somebody?" I asked curios, perhaps it was Nami. Maybe he wants her back?
"It doesn't matter… I know she doesn't feel the same way about me." He said, I was really thinking it was Nami now, he must have heard about Rock breaking up with her. "Besides if I tell you, I may never talk to her freely again, there will always be an awkward gap between us."
"Look I won't tell Nami, if you like her, I totally think it would work." I said.
"Who said Nami was the one?" He asked me, burying me in thoughts of who it may be.
"Well then who is it? Popuri?" I asked him getting even deeper in guesses.
"What? No! That's crazy, she and Kai are made for each other." He said.
"What?! Kai is dating her?" I asked remembering Kai being flirty and overly nice with me today.
"Yeah, why?" he asked a little wierded out, perhaps I was a little too loud.
"That Jerk!" I said a little bit angry. "Whatever, who is it then? Are they from Mineral Town?"
"No not at all." He told me smiling. "She is from Forget-Me-Not-Valley"
"Dude your killing me here. Just tell me, or at least give me a clue!" I kind of shouted impatiently.
"What's all the Noise out there!? Shouted Takukara from outside the house.
"Sorry!" I shouted back. The window was open, that was probably why he heard me shouting.
"Crazy teenagers." muttered Takukara and was heard walking hack into his home. Skye and I giggled for a bit.
"Ok she has brown hair" he said in a half whispering, half talking tone.
"Celia?" I asked in the same tone as him. He looked down from me.
"I'm going to leave before you figure it out" he said winking and standing up. He walked up to the door, leaving me puzzled and sitting on the bed. "Sweet dreams" he said as he opened the door and walked out.
I was almost sure it was Celia. I stood up and changed into my jamiies. I Lay in the bed and pulled the covers over myself. Hmm, I guess Skye and Celia would be an OK couple. Wait just a darn second. Nami said that me, Popuri, and her where the only others who knew of him. Maybe he met her after that. But… NO! that's improbable! He couldn't, He wouldn't. Not me, not ever. I couldn't take the suspense so I picked up the phone and called Celia. As It rang I looked at the clock. 1:36 am. I heard Celias tired voice from the other line
"What is it??" she asked me in a yawn.
"Celia, it's Miraa, I need to know It you know a guy named Phantom Skye." I asked her eagerly.
"What, never heard of him. Bye." I heard snoring, poor girl was to sleepy to hang up the phone.
What if she was denying knowing him? Well It was official, I was losing it. I guess it didn't matter who he liked, because whoever it was, was doing a great job restraining him from stealing and terrorizing our poor town. I lay back down in my bed, hoping to fall asleep soundly.
Well that was it for Chapter three, I hope you liked it. Sorry about the typos, I try to proof read, but things get by. Next chapter will be here soon.
