Me: Welcome everyone! Sorry for the late update, but here is chapter four of A Fake Smile! Enjoy and review!
CHAPTER THREE: An Unexpected Event Part 4
Bloom's POV
"...and that's how we met, Stella," I finished my story on how I met Icy, Darcy and Stormy. I left out the part where I was being bullied though, and told her that we met at a random park.
"Okay then...OH your parents are waking up!" Stella exclaimed while pointing at my mom who started rubbing the side of her head. "What happened?" she asked a bit groggily. I was about to answer, but Stella came over to me.
"Now's your chance dawling!" Stella whispered in my ear. I nodded with whatever determination I could muster, and slowly stepped up to my parents. They finally recovered, blinked a few times, and then my Mom Vanessa looked at me straight in the eye, but my dad looked down at the floor.
"Um, Mom I have a question," I stated while I put my hand on my other arm's elbow and grabbed it. "Uh sure honey, go ahead," she replied after a moment. This was starting to get really awkward since we didn't talk to each other that much, ever since I was seven. I never asked for anything either, so the relationship worked...in a way.
"W-well my friend Stella here said that I-I can join her at this school called Alfea. She is...special...just like me, and e-everyone else there is too!" I said. My dad's head snapped up from the floor at that moment to look at me. I gulped a bit, but I smiled inside because he hasn't ever looked me in the eye after I showed them my "powers".
"There's more like...you?" he asked in a hoarse voice with a raised eyebrow. I nodded and Stella grinned, oblivious to the fact that my parents didn't except me for who I was for years. Maybe if I was different they would have...
"Well we are going to have to check this school out first before you go," he said suddenly. I almost smiled, but all I could muster was a shaky nod.
"Well, I-I am all ready to go; I packed e-earlier," I replied while pointing to the lone suitcase at the bottom of the staircase.
"Why do you already have a suitcase out?" he asked while raising an eyebrow at me, disregarding what I just said. "Uh, y-you know, just in c-case you say that I could s-stay t-there, then I'd b-be all packed," I studdered, choosing to look at the floor instead of his eyes. I wasn't use to talking around people so much, especially my 'parents'.
As I said before, I never had a friend at school and was kind of a loner, but I want to change that...no, I need to change that. I have to...I don't think I can take staying isolated any longer. I just can't...Otherwise I might really break inside.
"I know that you're way more grown up that we thought you were and that you have a...special gift, but we still have to check the school out. We have to get more information about this school," Vanessa said, appearing next to Mike. My insides burned at her first statment about how I'm more grown up than she thought I was. How dare she consult me like she knew me! It's not like she has ever been there for me when I really needed her; I had to grow up at the tender age of seven!
"What would you know..." I mumbled under my breath while glaring at the floor. Stella, who happened to be right next to me, decided to break the awkward silence. Good, that means she didn't hear me I thought.
NORMAL POV
"Well, it's time to check it out then! Regular humans can't go in it, but you know what? My scepter can handle a little trans-dimensional puddle jump like this. Sun Power!" Stella shouted while holding her scepter in the air.
Everyone felt a weird sensation pulling at them and the next thing they knew they were standing in the forest next to a magnificent school! Birds were chirping, and the fresh air felt much different then the city air. There was even a courtyard!
"Wow. Would you look at this place?" Mike said in awe while taking Vanessa's hand. In the heat of the moment, Bloom let down some of her barriers, and let a small glimpse, an oh-so-ever-small glimpse of her true self shine.
"It is pretty cool!" Bloom exclaimed, but immediatally covered her mouth as soon as the words slipped. Did I really just say that? She thought, but no one else seemed to have caught on.
"With a capital C." Stella smiled while heading towards the campus. The rest of the small group followed, but no one noticed Bloom, who was at the very back of the group, chastising herself for her "slip" along the way there.
Me: Again, sorry for not updating quickly but things came up so I had to deal with those first.
Stella: Excuse excuse excuse! Why does Bloom get to have all of the spotlight! Everything's about ME!
Me: Uh...
Stella: I knew it! Well it just goes to show you how...
~~~~Five Hours Later~~~~
Stella: ...another thing! As I said before, the world revolves around me! All the planets do! I AM THE SUN!
Me: *sweatdrop* No, you just have the power of the sun...
Stella: ...my hopes and dreams...gone...
Me: *sigh* Please read and...
