~*~ Whoever said life was fair~*~
~*~Chapter Two: Gone with the wind ~*~
There was yet again another knock at the door. This time it was a guy. He had light blue hair on the front and a patch of darker shade of blue at the back. He wore a tight black sleeveless shirt, which showed his muscles. He wore baggy pants, and boy was he HOT! But there was something familiar about him. He had those same Mahogany eyes...
Mariam heard Jen gasp and whisper "Kai…" Mariam turned around and saw the blue-haired teen more carefully. She had to admit it he was pretty good looking. He had this very mischievous look on his face.
"What do you want this time Hiwatri?" Lia asked glaring at Kai with the greatest hate Mariam had ever seen. Her eyes were filled with hate. You'd think Kai had taken away Lia's life or something.
As soon as Kai saw Lia he smirked, "We need sugar. Tyson finished it all, and we need more." Emily burst out laughing, "That's our Tyson alright." She said as she turned around and went to the kitchen to get the sugar.
"Kai, this is our new roommate, her name is Mariam" Salima introduced to Kai to the purple-haired teen. Kai smirked, "Yo Mariah, is she you're twin or something? She looks exactly the same, except the purple hair." This really got Lia pissed off. She took Kai by the collar and said dangerously, "YOU KNOW WHAT HIWATRI? WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE THE FREAKIN SUGAR AND GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!?" Her usually pretty and innocent face, flashed with danger.
Mariam raised her eyebrow, but Sara shook her head, as if telling her to drop it. Emily quietly handed Kai the sugar and Kai left the room, which was followed by silence, and more silence, and more… silence, and yes, you've guessed it. Silence.
Finally Hillary broke it off. "Okay, Mariam let's show you you're room. There are five rooms in this building. You see every private school over here has a building to the students who want to live in there own apartments. So this is the building for our school. Mostly all the kids from our school who live in apartments live over here. Every apartment has five rooms in it. And five people sharing the apartment. But it was only us four sharing before, you came. Me, Salima, Emily and Mariah got our own rooms but since you are here you'll get the room we used for guests. Well it was more like a fashion room thanks to Salima." Hillary finished off.
Emily rolled her eyes, at her friend's bossiness and Salima just plain old glared. "Okay, without anymore interruptions why don't we start the decorations? And Lia, Sara, and Jenna you better help us too." Hillary started again but soon finished as they grabbed the stuff and started to fix the house.
~*~
After a week of cleaning and painting and fixing the house the five girls decided to do some shopping for school with some of there friends. Since they were done fixing the house they went to the mall to shop on the last Friday before school started. Lia, Sara, and Jenna came with the five of them as well, but they brought two more girls along that Mariam didn't know.
"Mariam this is Penny and Anna." Lia introduced her to the blond girl, known as Penny, then the girl with dirty blonde hair, known as Anna. Penny was tall, and had an awesome figure; she looked like one of those cheerleaders who also had a sportive side. Anna was a tall girl with simple things on, though she was awfully skinny.
Mariam smiled at both the girls. "Anna and Penny are our roommates, but they were away with their families for the summer." Sara said as her and Anna stopped talking to talk to Mariam. It was for sure, that Anna and Sara were best friends. Hillary and Emily were best friends for sure. Penny and Salima were best friends, no doubt. And Jenna, Lia and Mariah were the trio. Where would she go?
"Okay you guys lets spilt up and shop, we'll meet back here at around three hours, which is 2;00 p.m., to eat lunch. Okay?" Hillary asked in her same bossy voice. All the girls nodded. Anna and Sara went separate, and so did Salima and Penny. On the other direction Hillary and Emily trailed off. Mariah, Lia and Jenna were about to trail of as well, when Lia suddenly said, "Hey Mariam, you wanna hang around?"
Mariam smiled. "Sure."
~*~
"AHH! Isn't this cute? This will look PERFECT on you Lia." Jenna shrieked. Lia rolled her eyes and Mariah said, "Let me see." As she grabbed the shirt from Jenna and shrieked "IT'S PERFECT!" as well. Lia suddenly jumped in surprise looking at them weird and rolling her eyes. "Trust me, it's normal." She told Mariam.
"Out of all our close friends you've met, me, Sara, and Penny are the only ones not like that. Well, Penny sometimes gets like that too, but still." Lia said looking at Mariam's nervous look.
"You guys, why don't ma and Mariam actually go somewhere Fun while both of you shop, we'll ck in an hour. Okay? And you guys can shop for me ALL you want." Lai said smirking the familiar smirk. It felt so familiar to Mariam. She had seen it before, but she had never seen Lia smirk. So where had she seen it?
Jenna and Mariah both cheered when they heard they could shop for Lia. They always bought clothes for her and LOVED doing her make up, cause Lia was the prettiest but she was SO not into those things.
"Come-on Mariam, let's go to the arcade." Lia said leaving the store, soon followed by Mariam.
~*~
"HEY LIA!! OVER HERE!!" A voice screamed as Lia and Mariam entered the arcade. Mariam turned around and saw a group f guys standing near a game called "ULTRA BEYBLADE MATCH!" "Hey, Tyson, Max, Ray, and Hiwatri." Lia said Glaring at Kai and smiling at the rest. Mariam really got confused now. There was something between Kai and Lia, everyone was totally ignoring. There was something, and it had to be something BIG! Because if it wasn't they wouldn't be this secretive about it.
"Yo Lia, how about me and you go against each other in this game." Kai said smirking. Lia smirked. "You got it Hiwatri." She answered.
After it had been quite some time of Lia and Kai battling each other so Mariam decided to talk to someone since she was getting bored. "Listen." A voice said behind her. Mariam turned around.
"Yes?" She saw Ray behind her. "You are Mariah's new roommate right?" He asked. "Yea…" Mariam answered uncertainly. "Um… so… Hw is she?" He asked nervously. "Wha-?"
~*~
Ray and Mariam were both outside the mall, outside in the parking lot. Ray wanted to tell her something, so they were both outside. "See Mariam, this is how it goes… Mariah and I… we kinda broke up. I don't know why she dumped me. And to make it worse, she did it in front of the entire school." Ray said, as he started tot tell Mariam what had happened.
~*~ Flash Back ~*~
"Yo Ray ma man." Tyson screamed across the cafeteria. "Yeah?" Ray asked his bright yellow eyes shining with happiness. He had finally aced the math test and it was all thanks to Mariah. She had helped him so much.
"Mariah was looking for you. And boy did she look piss." Tyson said smirking. Ray raised his eyebrows. 'I wonder why?' Ray thought. Suddenly an angry voice burst through the cafeteria, making everyone turn around and watch the commotion.
"RAY KON! GET YOU'RE ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!" The voice said, and it soon turned out to be Mariah, behind her were Lia, Jenna, Hillary, Emily, Salima, Penny, Sara and Anna.
Ray was surprised, but he quickly got to his feet and went up to Mariah. "What happened Mariah?" He asked caringly whatsoever. Mariah though, whoever glared harder? "WHAT HAPPENED!?!?" She shrieked her eyes looking as if they'd pop up any second.
Ray flinched. "YOU CHEAT WITH FRANKIE ON ME AND YOU TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!! YOU CHEAT TO ME WITH SOME STUPID SLUTY EIGHTH-GRADER!! SHE'S IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!! OH GOD!! WE ARE IN 11th GRADE RAY AND YOU CHEATED TO ME WITH SOMEONE THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!?!" Mariah screamed. The entire cafeteria went silent. All eyes were on Ray.
"But I didn't…" He started. But there was no turning back now. What was done was done. What had been lost had been lost. It was too late. She was gone. Gone with the wind. Just like that…. He had lost her.
