I was glaring at him, and he was just staring at me with that calm laid back expression of his. I can't believe his testing me. I'm absolutely going to beat him in this game. There is no way I'm going to lose. My stomach grumbled, and I knew I was getting hungry. He noticed the sound and started smiling at me. He picked up some blueberries and started eating them one by one. Slowly chewing so that he could rub it in my face that he was eating and I wasn't. I should have had never suggested this stupid game. This situation could have been avoided if it wasn't for yesterday.
Flashback…
Quincy and I went to a nearby waterfall. I was a little uncomfortable taking off my clothes and jumping into a pool with a half-naked guy, but he wasn't obviously. When we reached the waterfall he took off his pants, threw them at my face and jumped into the water.
"W-what are you doing?" I asked him in a reluctant way. He splashed some water at my face, and I started laughing for some reason. I felt the urge to be joyful. Everything looked so much more cheerful.
"Come on Alice why don't you jump in?" He asked me. I don't know what came over me, but I soon took off my dress and jumped in. I started splashing and singing, and acting just plain odd.
"I can tell it's your first time being in a Bliss Waterfall." He said as we blocked my splashes with his arms. He dove underneath the water and swam away. I followed him down. While I was underground I lost track of where he had went. I was running out of air so I emerged from the water. I was swimming for a while, searching for him, but I couldn't find him. I was worried about what could have happened.
"Hey are you alright Quincy, are you dead?" I said as my voice echoed. "Quincy, are you okay?" He didn't respond. I got out of the water and decided to take my clothes and his back to the cave we had been resting in.
"Hey Alice where are you going with my clothes?" He said as he popped out of the water. I noticed that his hair wasn't so dirty blond anymore. It was pure golden blond. His eyes were blue. A beautiful shade of blue.
"Are you going to stand there and stare at me all day or you going to come back?" He asked with a laugh. I shook my head and blushed.
"Sorry I sort of zoned out you know?" I told him. I returned to the water and the feeling of pure happiness seeped back in.
"You know your eyes are really cool." I told him as I swam backwards.
"How so?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"I don't know they just remind me of how blue this place is." I placed my hands out and let the water from the rain pour down on me.
"Why does it always rain in here?" I asked him. He looked up at the sky.
"That's just the way the blue path is." He looked back down at me. "Your eyes are blue too you know." He pointed towards my face.
"I know, I noticed that on my first day here." I said as I made swirls in the water. "How long have you been around?" I asked him.
"I don't know I've been in this place ever since I could remember." He said with a sad expression. "It's not easy being the only human around."
"Hey I'm here aren't I?" I comforted him. "He smiled at me and I smiled at him. Everything was so peaceful, and calm. I just wanted to float all day long. He turned around for a second, and then told me to get out of the water. I did as he told me.
"Why are we leaving?" I asked. He didn't answer me and dragged me along with him. "Where are we going?"
"Back to the cave, we need to leave now." He said in a loud whisper.
"Why are you whispering?" He looked at me and put his finger on his lips.
"Shhhh what did I tell you about asking questions?" He dragged me on until we were back at the cave. It was still raining like it always did. I didn't remember that my hair was uneven until I dried it out. He took a look at my hair.
"What happened to you?" He smiled.
"Shut up it's not funny." I slapped his shoulder.
"I never said I was laughing at you, it's just a little odd you know." He shrugged.
"So you think I'm a little odd?" I said with a grin.
"Well you might want to get it even at least, you look like a hobo who tried to cut her hair and failed."
"Oh shut your mouth, your more of hobo than I am."
"You're the one with a bloody dress."
"You were walking half naked with shredded pants like it was perfectly normal."
"Hey if I were you I would watch your mouth, I could always poison your food if I wanted to." He said in a mocking tone. I shut my mouth at his last sentence.
"That's better; I like you best when you don't talk endlessly." He patted my head, like I was a dog.
"I'm not your pet you know?" I pouted.
"You might as well be I mean you've got the hair, and you speak endlessly, you're like a rabid puppy."
"You're like a rotten banana." I countered.
"Oh yeah, and why would you say that?"
"Because at first your golden and yellow, then you've been left out too long and you turn brown and nasty."
"Don't make me have to poison you." He warned.
"Fine then, I'm not going to talk for the rest of the time then, since I'm so annoying." He shrugged.
"You won't last long, but sure if you want to play the quite game let's begin."
End of Flashback
That's how I ended up starving myself. For some stupid game, over a stupid fight. Even so I wasn't going to be the first one to start talking, I wanted to prove him wrong, and I will.
So...how was the chapter?
