The Memory of A Girl
Chapter 10
By: Rosie Starships
Christene POV
Surprisingly, the streets were almost empty. I walked down, soaked and humiliated, in the new outfit my friends bought me. My first time in Magix and it was terrible… Suddenly, I felt a warm thing with sleeves fall onto my shoulders. A coat. I turned around to see the guy I met just moments ago, Derek. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked me, with a nice smile.
Without saying a word, I nodded slowly and began walking again. "I'm sorry for Sophia. She just gets really jealous." He said, his voice sounding apologetic.
I sat down on a nearby bench and held the coat closer to me. "It's okay.." I finally spoke, wiping a small tear from my eye. Derek took a seat next to me.
"No it's not okay," He said angrily. "This is a new low, even for her.."
"Was s-she your girlfriend?" I asked, the cold was finally getting to me.
"Well, my ex.." he replied, his face seemed mad. "She thinks were still a couple though."
"I have an ex too." I told him. "He goes out with the meanest girl. She kinda acts like Sophia…" I rolled my eyes.
Derek chuckled. "Guess we both been through some things, huh?" He asked, a cute smile was on his face.
I giggled. "Guess so." I smiled. We both stared at each other. Derek has pretty green eyes and full brown hair. I'm sure my face was full of blush by now so I looked away.
I looked around. No one was here, the only sound was coming from the park where there was lots of cheering people. It makes me wonder where Karen, Mallory and Melissa are..
"So do you go to Alfea?" Derek asked me, he broke the silence.
"No," I replied honestly. "This is my first time in Magix actually."
"Really?" He asked me, I nodded.
"Yeah, my friends took me here to the festival as a birthday gift."
"Today's your birthday?" He asked me.
"Yes, I'm 16." I smiled at him.
"Oh cool! I wish I've known you before. I would've gotten you a gift too." He said, I laughed. That's sweet.
Derek's eyes gazed on a small bush just behind the bench we were sitting at. It was a rose bush. He picked one out and gradually gave it to me. I blushed even brighter. Then I heard something. "Aww!" There was a small sound that suddenly turned into a small yelp.
"Ah!" There were sounds of branches snapping, then a tiny person landed just at the end of the bench where I was. I jumped back towards Derek, startled as ever. This tiny person had wings! She stood and dusted off her cute pink dress and her pretty hot pink colored hair then looked at Derek and I.
"Aw, you guys look so cute!" She said, her voice even sounded small. I realized I was sitting on Derek's lap and quickly stood from the bench.
"Umm..are you okay?.." Derek asked the tiny girl as I brushed a few black hairs behind my ear.
"Yes, I'm fine!" The girl smiled as she floated over to me. Derek stood next to me.
"I'm Derek and this is Chris, what's your name?" He asked the small girl.
"I'm Lenore, the pixie of Emotions. And I sense that you two like each other, very much."
Derek and I looked at each other and quickly turned away with blushed faces. "Uh, what were you doing in the tree anyway?" I asked her.
Lenore giggled. "Well I saw you two talking back at the park, but then you ran so I decided to follow you." She explained.
I twirled the end of my wet black hair around my finger, embarrassingly. "You saw me fall into the water fountain?.." I asked her, shyly.
"Yes. But don't worry Chris. Sophia will get what's coming to her." Lenore told me, she made me smile. Derek chuckled.
"Looks like none of us like her, huh?" He joked, we all laughed.
I heard someone call my name. "Chris! Chris!" They said, I recognized all my friends voices.
"Oh my friends, I should go see what they want." I said and began walking down the street. Derek grabbed my hand, making my face get even redder than the rose he gave me.
"Well..will I see you again?" He asked me.
"Hopefully," I smiled at him. "I'll make sure of it." I told him and started making my way down the street. Holding the red rose close to my chest, then I stopped. His coat.
"Hey Derek!" I ran back to him.
I took the coat from off my shoulders and handed it to Derek. "Thanks for being so sweet." I kissed his cheek and ran back down the street.
I didn't think I could do that, but it happened. And it feels so good!At the park entrance, I found my three friends. Especially Melissa with tons of stuffed animals. "Where did you go Chris?" Mallory asked me.
"And you're all wet.." Karen added.
I was too stuck in my daze to notice anything. My eyes were locked on the rose Derek gave me. And if they could, I bet my eyes could turn to hearts in a heartbeat. My daze was interrupted by Melissa snapping her fingers in my face.
"Huh?" I asked, suddenly aware of my surroundings.
"Where were you?" Karen asked me.
"I was talking to a friend.." I blushed.
"How'd you get all wet?" Mallory asked.
"Some girl pulled me into the water fountain. And while I was talking to Derek." I said as I crossed my arms across my chest.
"Wait..Derek?" Melissa asked me, shockingly. "Does he have brown hair and green eyes?"
I nodded. "Yeah, why?"
"He's the prince of Eraklyon!" Melissa said with a bright smile.
"It's cool that he's a prince, but what does that have to do with me getting wet?" I asked her.
"You're betroved to the prince of Eraklyon, Chris." Karen told me, my eyes widened.
"I'm what?" I asked, shock was written all over my face.
"You just met your future husband!" Mallory cheered.
"How do you know all of this?" I asked them, they giggled.
"Well, we had to do some research on your home planet. So we ended up looking up stuff about you." Melissa smiled.
"Does he know that we're betroved?" I asked.
"He does, but Derek doesn't know what the princess of the Mongols Empire looks like. You didn't tell him you were the princess, right?" Karen asked.
"No," I shook my head. "The thought never occured to me."
"Good!" Mallory said. "Now we have to get you to Alfea to meet Ms. Faragonda, Chris."
At the flick of Melissa's toys stacked wrist, another portal opened up. We all started stepping through it. Does Derek really know that I'm the princess of the Mongols Empire?
LOVEY DOVEY! DerekxChris, MichaelxMelissa... more coming soon. I've been thinking long and hard (that's what she said) about this and I'm finally asking:
Should there be a sequel to this story? I mean I was going to do it anyway, but I just wanted to know if you guys approved of it. Tell me in the reviews, thanks!
