You guys are absolutely the best for reviewing this story, I didn't expect it to be great or anything.Thanks for correcting my spelling on "Johnny", but if you don't mind, I'm more comfortable with Jonny.Well thanks, and enjoy!
Chapter 6
It was early morning when Zira awoke, and Jonny was already sitting on top of his bed frowning. It was awfully cold and Zira tried grabbing the sweater from the bottom bunk, but instead hit something squishy that said "Ow."
Zira ducked down and stared.
"You could try looking next time."The person said.
It was a boy with olive green hair, a beret and goggles.
People would probably mistake him for a girl.
"Sorry."Zira blushed, because of embarrassment.
"Oh don't mind him, it's just Oliver."Jonny finally spoke.
"JUST Oliver?"Well don't mind him, it's just Jonny."Oliver said.
Zira giggled.
"What's so funny?"The boys asked at the same time.
"You."Zira was still smiling.
They both shrugged their shoulders and forgot about it.
"Maybe I should introduce myself...."Oliver started.
"Here we go again."Jonny rolled his eyes.
Oliver shot a look at him and went back to talking.
"I'm Oliver, and me and him....we're sort of pals."
"You're lucky you said "sort of", otherwise you wouldn't be wearing that "nice" hat of yours."Jonny joked in his usual position.
"Oh well, who's hungry for breakfast, I prepared Asian food!"Oliver shouted.
"I thought you only knew how to cook French!"Jonny joked once again.
He opened one of the trunks and a smell of the most delicious Asian food filled the room.
"Get that junk away from me!"Jonny complained.
"Fine, you won't get any!"Oliver shot back.
"Oh yeah, I'm Zira."Zira interrupted the fiery stare between the boys.
"Would you like some?"Oliver opened the carry-around-with-you-stove, which revealed dozens of delicious food.Eggrols, coated shrimp, sushi, and loads of other things to drool over.
"I'll try one."Zira said.
But of course Zira wanted everything she saw, since she hasn't eaten in a pretty long time. She grabbed the coated shrimp and gobbled it down.
"Wow you're hungry, Zira."Oliver looked proud.
"Hey can I take some of this food with me, I sorta forgot to pack my own?"Zira asked politely.
"Sure, I'll pack them for you."Oliver took out the not-get-cold-in-this bags and started putting loads of food inside.
"Trust me Zira, that junk tastes no better that an old sock."Jonny hadn't moved.
"Oh yeah?"Oliver shot back.
An argument occurred between the guys, and Zira excused herself to the bathroom.
Only she didn't go to the bathroom, but she waited outside until they stopped fighting.It took about half an hour.Zira grasped her beyblade, which she kept in her pocket, and checked how much money she had left.Only $21.15.
"Heh, I'm supposed to live on that?"Zira shook her head and smiled.
But there was something strange about her.She always felt empty ever since she lost friends, but this was way too much.It felt like she didn't have a heart at all!
Zira walked back into the room, expecting to see bruised faces and black eyes, but they looked perfectly normal, so Zira figured that they must have been swearing at each other instead.
"Here is the food I packed, nice and neat."He put the smaller bags inside one large one and handed it to Zira.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"Oliver asked in a childish tone, and opened the door.
"Hi! I'm Mary-Sue and I'm just selling beauty products.Would you like to buy anything?!"Said Mary-Sue.
Oliver gaped at everything with his eyes glittering, Zira looked for hair dye, and Jonny, pointing at Oliver, laughed.
Oliver decided to buy everything, and he did.
"Is she in la-la land or hunky dory world?"Jonny asked Zira.
"Both."Zira answered.
Jonny looked satisfied.
"Ummm....Oliver, can I buy that blood-red hair dye off of you?"
"Buy?You can have it.Actually, you can have three.I'm definitely not going to dye my hair red."He handed her three small boxes .
"You're dying your hair red?"Jonny gazed at Zira suspiciously.
"Just half of my bangs and the ends of my hair."Zira smiled, and stared back at Jonny.
He nodded.Oliver didn't seem to notice.
"Well I'll go to the washroom to dye it, if you don't mind."Zira broke the silence.
As soon as she shut the door behind her, Zira heard more arguing, name calling and other stuff.
As quietly as possible she made her way to the washroom, and looked at her shoulder length hair.And just to think it once used to be the most beautiful in her class.She sighed and did everything as the instructions said.She wet the parts of her hair that she wanted to dye, prepared the blood-red mix and dyed her hair in the thick liquid.
Then she washed her hair as instructed and let it dry.
Zira took a photograph of her family out of her bag. The 14 year old girl didn't look anything like Zira.She looked equally beautiful, but there was a big difference between the two faces.On the photograph, the girl was smiling, her long brown hair flowing along with the wind, but Zira was not smiling.Nor was she happy.Her face was firm and her eyes, half-closed.
But then Zira remembered Dranzer. She was a true friend, and proving it to him was the most important thing.She remembered Ray. His advice...
"Give me back my beret!"Oliver shouted and dived at Jonny as Zira walked in.
"Try and get it!"Jonny laughed.
Zira put the food that Oliver gave her, in her knapsack and packed the most important things inside.Some clothes, her family photograph, her beyblade, and her two remaining photographs.
"Why are you packing Zira?"Oliver looked surprised.
"I'm just putting my most prized possessions close by, so you guys won't destroy them."Zira said as she put on her knapsack.
She was about to lie down to rest, when all of a sudden the train shook.Oliver fell off of Jonny's bunk bed and Lonny collapsed on the floor from standing.Zira held on to the table.
Announcement:
Dear passengers! We're trying to stop the train....because.....THEY BOMBED THE BRIDGE! WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A CANYON!AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
All of a sudden Zira heard screams in the other cabins.
"Hey guys, I know how to save us!"Zira said.
Oliver was talking on the phone.In five minutes Zira heard a small plane flying over them.
"Common! We have to get to the back of the train!My plane is gonna pick us up!"
They ran across the train, and kept falling from right to left, left to right.
Finally they arrived to the back of the train.Jonny slid open the large door, while Zira and Oliver held on to posts for dear life.A plane appeared in front of them, and a ladder was thrown down.Oliver and Jonny were the first to grab.
Announcement:
WE'RE GONNA DIE IN 30 SECONDS!
Jonny and Oliver stretched out their arms at Zira. She grabbed them. Ten more seconds and they'll die. The plane pulled up.
Suddenly Zira's hand began to slide down from Jonny's, and in the next second from Oliver's.They did their best to hold on, but Zira slipped and she felt the wind rush down her face as she was falling down in the cold Canadian woods to meet death.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!ZIRAAAA!!!!!!!"Both boys shouted.
"AAAAHHH!!!"She screamed, stretching out her helpless arm to heaven."Goodbye earth."She whispered, as in the next second she knew she would be dead.
She closed her eyes and prepared to die......
