When tears finished spilling from my behind my eyelids I left the safety of the bathroom stall. I flicked the hot water on at one of the sinks and splashed my face to try to reduce some of the swelling and redness that had completely taken over. I stared in the mirror.
"I look like a fucking hot mess. The usual." I sighed to myself.
I pushed open the door ready to leave. Of course to make matters worse I ran into Luke who was drinking from the water fountain. He stared intently at me.
"Why were you crying? What's wrong? Please don't be sad? Molly are you okay?" He bombarded me with questions of concern.
I couldn't even respond. I burst into furious tears. Before I could wipe them away Luke pulled me into a warm embrace and just held me there while I cried. I buried my head in his chest and inhaled the mahogany smell that clung to his clothes. He buried his head in my hair and sighed.
"I haven't held a girl like this in a very long time. It's nice. You're hair smells like vanilla. My favorite." Didn't he have a girlfriend though? He held my chin with his forefinger and thumb and tipped my head up and forced me to look directly into his eyes. He was blushing. "Now then… Tell me why you were crying."
"Today has been a lot to take in. I don't deal well with change." I explained. "I'm pretty pathetic I know…"
"No you're not! How could you say that? You just moved here you shouldn't expect to adjust so soon." His words were passionate. He actually cared about me.
"Thanks Luke." I smiled. "Hey can I ask you something?"
"Anytime, and sure."
"What you said earlier… About holding a girl like that… Well don't you have a girlfriend?" I asked quietly.
For a second he looked distant. Almost sad. But only for a second. After that he looked me in the eyes and flashed a smile. "Come with me somewhere after school! Meet me outside in front after the second bell!" He didn't even give me the chance to respond because he had already run off to his next class.
What a strange boy…
I walked into my science class and saw only one face that I recognized. It wasn't a face I was particularly excited to see.
"Molllllyyyyyyyyy!" Kasey called out. "Come sit next to me!"
It was another class that had desks for just two people. Which were lined up in two columns with three desks each.
"Crap…" I mumbled under my breath. I walked slowly to where he was sitting at one of the desks in the very back.
"Come sit next to me so I can cheat off of you." Why was he being so honest? He really was an idiot.
"And walking away…" I turned away from him and headed for the front.
"No Molly I was kidding. Please sit next to me."
I turned around. Kasey refused to meet my eyes as an almost un-noticeable pink hue tinted his cheeks. I sat down next to him without another word.
Mr. Simon was an incredibly awkward man with bluish-green hair. He bumbled about with a dull monotonous tone to his voice. When he told the class about me he almost seemed uncomfortable.
"Well class… Um that girl in the back is Molly. Uh Molly please raise your hand. Um yes. Her. She just moved here. Well give her a warm Castanet welcome. Please."
Science class was uneventful at most. We received a paper that listed all the safety rules we would have to learn and eventually test over to be allowed access to any of the equipment. Mr. Simon spent half the class explaining the sheet and the other half trying to convince us all to join photography club which he was the sponsor of. Kasey yapped my ear most of the period, so I could already tell it was going to be a long class. When the bell dismissed us we parted ways at the door.
"Bye Molly I'll see you tomorrow!" Kasey screamed from down the hall and ran off.
"One more class to go. You can do this Molly." I tied self encouragement with little effort.
Fashion design couldn't be anything horrible. I assumed it'd be an easy class to end the day with. One I could muscle through with minimal effort.
I shuffled into the class completely exhausted with the events of my first day of school. I plopped down in a desk in the front. Then as if things couldn't get worse I heard the piercing, shrill voice I hoped I wouldn't have to hear again today.
"Gillykins! Don't run away from me. Come here baby. You know you love me." I head Luna screaming from outside in the hallway.
"Please don't have this class… Please don't have this class… Please don't have this class… Please don't have this class…" I prayed under my breath.
To my dismay she stormed into the class. Unfortunately I was the first thing she saw.
"Oh well if it isn't Milly."
"Uh-umm… It's umm… It's Molly…" I cowered under her gaze.
"What's a talentless looser like you doing in fashion design? This is my territory." She glared at me.
"You'd better watch it you little brat. Why don't you leave this girl alone?"
A very feminine boy with long, silky purple hair that draped down his back with multi colored highlights thumped Luna on the head. Yes a boy. I had to do a double take on this one.
"Ow! Fuck off Julius." Luna barked.
Julius scoffed at Luna and stared at her through slit eye lids. His eyes were a deep shade of red. He looked almost demonic. Luna's stare broke first.
"Ugh you're such an annoying freak." She sneered then stomped away.
Julius turned to me with a satisfied smile and a cheerful look on his face. The demonic features I had seen before had disappeared.
"If Luna ever bothers you just let me know. She's afraid of me." He folded his arms across his chest in triumph. "I'm Julius by the way. And who my lovely…" He stroked my cheek "Are you?" So straight forward. I tried to hold back the ever powerful blush from heating up my face.
"I-I'm Molly. I'm new here."
"Well it's an honor to meet you princess." He lifted my hand and softly pressed his lips against it. He then proceeded to sit in the desk right next to mine.
"I can tell were gonna be great friends." Julius smirked and I saw that demonic quality flash in his devil red eyes.
I couldn't tell if I should be excited or afraid.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone else had taken the empty seat on the other side of me. She was stunningly beautiful. She had long silvery blue hair that fell down to her waist. Her hair was tied in loose pigtails. She had big, bright icy blue eyes, a porcelain face, and rosy cheeks. She glanced over and saw me staring at her then quickly looked away.
"Who's that?" I asked Julius quietly.
"That's Candace." He smiled. "She's pretty shy. It'd be a miracle if she ever opened up to someone." He whispered to me. He had a sad look on his face when he talked about Candace.
Candace… Candace… It sounded so familiar… I remembered I had heard that name in the bathroom… She was Luna's sister. They were such polar opposites. Even more so than Angela and I.
About half the desks were filled when the bell rang, and after a few stragglers wandered in. Within the stragglers was a small old woman who walked up to the front of the class.
"Well hello I'm Miss Shelly. I'll be teaching fashion design."
Miss Shelly was a tiny, frail looking old woman. She had long silver hair tied back in a braid. The signature feature of her appearance was her enormous, thick, wire frame coke bottle glasses. She was a sweet little old lady though.
She began to explain how the class would work and before I knew it I had fallen asleep. The day had taken its toll on me. I woke to Julius tapping me on the head, chairs screeching in and out of place, and feet shuffling out of the door.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." Julius jeered.
"What'd I miss?" I asked yawning.
"Oh nothing much. Except the hilarity when she introduced you to the class."
"Oh no…" I shuddered.
"Yeah it went something like… Well I would like to introduce you to Molly our new resident but she seems to have already fallen asleep. I didn't know my class was that boring… Etcetera etcetera. It was quite funny." Julius giggles.
"Ugh I'm just ready to go home." I collected my things and left my embarrassment at my desk. I'd most likely use it tomorrow anyways.
I walked out to the front of the school as the second bell chimed. I saw Luke standing by the gate. The blunette's figure was hunched and leaning against the brick wall. When he saw me walking towards him his face lit up and he waved frantically. I felt my pace quicken, my face heat up, and my heart beat hasten as I got closer.
Thanks for reading. I really hope you enjoyed and choose to continue with this story. I'll try to get the next chapter out when i can. Please review. Thanks a bunch. Toodles! :)
