Chapter 4: Out Of It
I hopped on my motorcycle and raced home as fast as possible. Before I knew it, I was already racing down the part of the city they called The Cave, me as it's only sane resident. If you could call me that. I saw a random girl on the street and was already falling head over heels for her. I'm pretty sure that wasn't sane.
I burst through my door, it swung lazily, slamming against the wall creating a hole. I angrily climbed up the ladder and through the narrow porthole into my room. I laid on my bed, and kicked clothes that were strewn everywhere into a messy pile before gathering them all in a fairly large bag. I didn't usually care how my room looked, but I knew that if I ever wanted to get another girlfriend, that I would need to get rid of my disgusting habits.
I sloppily rushed through my homework, my mind only focusing on a song that was composing itself in my head in a symphony of jumbled song lyrics and a mournful guitar riff.
Fionna's POV
I doodled in my notebook, drawing his eyes. Drawing the way his lips were turned up in a mischievous smirk, but the concern was still weaved in his eyes. The boy had crawled under my skin like a parasitic love disease so easily, he dug deep under the tough, hollow shell of myself and nestled restlessly into a blank and confused pit in my heart.
"Fionna? The answer please," my teacher said sternly to me. She eyed me with distaste, her wrinkled mouth set in a seemingly permanent scowl. I quickly shut my notebook and skimmed through her notes on the board, then answered her unsurely.
"Correct," she said, disappointed that I hadn't gotten it wrong so she could scold me.
I sighed in relief, saved by countless nights of study-filled sugar highs. I rushed to get back on task, but the haziness that had lingered in my eyes was still there, obscuring my heart's view of who I was supposed to love.
Luminor, who although sometimes was very aggressive, was the sweetest person in the world with the cutest little button nose, while on the other hand, Bubba was constantly sweet and cared for me greatly, but was also constantly oblivious to the facts of simple commonsense, like when someone liked him. I didn't know where my stranger fit into all of this, he'd well displayed the sweetness card, and on top of that, he didn't know me that well so he couldn't judge me, we'd honestly only met once! *But my stranger had swept me off of my feet, insuring me safety and comfort, protection from the cruelties from a flawed society whose main goal was economic failure and the sheer destruction of every being on the planet.
The shrill pierce of the bell rang in my ears, a dull monotone compared to the melodic voice of my stranger. Whoa, hold on a minute! My stranger? I'd been calling him that all this time, not even realizing that I'd claimed him as my own. I was idly walking down the hallway, thinking of my stranger when someone bumped into me.
"Oh glob, I'm sorry," I said. I looked up into red eyes, glowing bright over the pale alabaster skin that lay beneath it. My mouth hung open and my eyes locked with his. "Y-you . . ." I stuttered out.
*My favorite line of all time by the great...Me.
Who could it be?! I feel like i can't live this on this note! Maybe I'll post the 5th chapter...if i can get to 17 reviews. I'm one away and 17 is my favorite number, so please? Review, favorite and follow? Please?
