Chapter Nine
That night I tossed and turned thinking about what Tai had said about my problem. I had the weirdest dream…
I was getting married to Angel. She had on a bright pink and purple striped dress. I was wearing orange jeans and an untucked formal shirt with a cow print tie. We skipped down the aisle to a song I'd never heard before. That's when I noticed that there was no one there. Not a single person in the church. Except for a priest. When we got to the alter, we waiting for the priest to start talking. But he didn't say anything. That's because he didn't have a face. I turned to Angel and she didn't have a face. I slowly reached up and touched my head, but I didn't have a face either! I tried to scream but no sound came from me. I ran out the church and fell onto the lawn. Davis and Kari stood next to each other holding hands. They had faces. They laughed as I ran my hands across the front of my head. Kari let go of Davis's hand and walked over to me. She gave me her hand and I let her pull me up. She kissed me where my lips would be and my face magically returned. I turned back for Angel. She walked towards me and… beeped?
"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!"
I rolled over and slammed my hand over my alarm clock. The beeping stopped. I got up and got ready for school.
When I arrived at school, everyone acted the same as the day before. Angel was waiting at my locker.
"Good morning TK," she smiled.
"Hi," I muttered.
"Want to make some sunflower hats with me in Art this afternoon?" she giggled shrilly.
I cringed.
"No," I said. She looked surprised.
"Well, how about after school we go to the monument and play with the butterflies?" she tried again.
"Why can't you be normal?!" I cried, my nerves shattered. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes.
"I'm not normal?" she asked quietly.
"No, you're not," I answered just as quiet.
"Oh," she said and walked away. I watched her disappear into the crowd.
The next day, I couldn't find Angel. I hoped I hadn't upset her too much. A strange girl walked up to me in recess. She had on the outfit of the moment. A short black miniskirt, pale blue twin set and fishnet stockings.
"Hey TK," she said.
"And you might be?" I asked. I looked at her closer.
"I'm Emma," she said. Then it hit me. The large, green eyes; the smile. It was Angel!
"Angel," I said.
"Angel doesn't exist anymore," Emma said bitterly.
"Huh?" I questioned.
"She wasn't normal, so she left," Emma replied.
"Oh," I said. I watched as she walked off towards the girls' toilets.
When she came back, her eyes were coated in pale blue eye shadow and she had the latest glitter lipstick on.
"So, boyfriend. What shall we do now as a normal couple?" she asked, batting her eyelashes.
"We go to lunch," I smiled, feeling better for the first time in three days.
