Life as a Doppler
By Mia LeighArc
(Doppler P.O.V)
Well, what can I say?...everything at the time was pretty hecktic and I needed a last resort; besides it was my senior prom and it ended up since every girl I asked blew me off, I went by myself. Once I got there I got thirsty and since I didn't have any freinds, I went to the refreshments table not knowing I was going to run into a beautiful girl. I tried to avoid her, but she seemed eager to get my attention. She walked over and tapped me on the shoulder so I could have someone to talk to. I leaped in the air as if she gave me a fright, but I assure you, I'm fine.
"Excuse me, but are you here alone?"the girl said looking bored.
"Well...I.... What? Where did you come from?" I questioned, feeling awfully confused.
"Well, my friends walked off without me and I thought since you were over here all by yourself, maybe you could keep me company."She said plainly.
"Oh..er..okay--sure. I'm Delbert Doppler."I said with a half-smile, shaking her hand.
"Amelia Newberry, it's nice to meet you."
"Like-wise."I retorted. There was an odd silence with the additional crickets chirping in the background for effect I suppose. I finally broke the silence thankfully.
"So... tell me about yourself, what are some things you like to do?" She eyed me kindly, smiling.
"Well, I like to go sailing with my father on his ship."She said proudly. I was surprised. This girl is absolutely amazing.
"Sailing you say? Hmmm."
"Yes...after graduation I'll be going to the Interstellar Academy. My uncle Vernon recommended me. I plan to be a captain someday."She stated matter- of-factly.
"Well that's an interesting hobby."I quiped. Filled with a rage I've never seen before, she got face to face with me and put her pointer finger to my chest.
"Hobby? More like a life dream. Listen, I don't care if you're on of those anti-feminist guys who don't believe that a woman can do a man's job..." She said, her voice broken in anger.
"But-but-I..."I was starting to get really nervous.
"... but I assure you, if our paths ever meet again, we'll have a confrontation involving a flintlock. Is that understood?"
I began nudging away from her. I swallowed hard as she seemed to go in for the kill. It almost looked as if she was going to try and kiss me. Still moving away from her, I became slightly off balance and began tripping over stuff.
"Ah-ah-ah...I t-think I'll go for a walk."I said trying to find a way out of the gym.
"I'll come with you..."she said as I nodded my head in disagreement.
"No! you should-should stay here...I'll be fine!"I choked out before I so gracfully tripped over the table holding the fruit punch and spilled it all over myself, shaking myself off a few times.
"Wow, what a loser!"I heard some girl say as I headed for the door.
"Oh no, what have I done?"I faintly heard Amelia say before I ran out...
I was standing outside the school near the gigantic fountain in the center of the sitting area, thinking to myself that I messed up yet again. I felt very depressed although I had got a little of the punch off the front of my tux. I didn't say much nor did I notice that Amelia had followed me, I just stood there leaning against the fountain shamelessly watching the ripples when I threw rocks into the water. I admit felt like I would never find anyone who understands what it feels like to be a reject and be outcast by the popular people, but what I later came to find was that Amelia was the same way.
The water was reflecting on my face and the way the light hit me, it made me look slightly attractive...not like any girl woould notice. The annoying clatter could clearly be heard from where I stood, although it was much louder inside the gymnasium. I stood talking to himself, not knowing that Amelia was there, I put my head in my hands feeling endless grief.
"Damn it! Why do I have to be such a nerd?" I shouted, battling with my inner demons.
"You're just lucky, I guess."Amelia retorted.
"Why did you follow me?"I said suddenly feeling irratated.
"I thought you could use some company. Listen I'm sorry for what happened in there, I don't know what came over me."
"I'm sorry I ran away"I said while looking up for only a second and looking back at the water reflecting in my eyes
"You had a good reason...remember those friends I told you about, well they're these girls who make fun of my and call me a tomboy. They dared me to kiss you."She said slowly. It was obvious she didn't want to hurt my feelings.
"I knew it was to good to be true...no one likes me anyway, I came alone." I exclaimed.
"I'm sure you have plenty of friends. You seem to be a very nice person." She said kindly.
"Yeah, right...all those people have done since day one was torture me. But thank you for the flaterry, I guess it helps to ease the pain."I said with a frown, leaning on my hands.
"I understand how you feel. I came alone too. See, I just moved here 2 or 3 months ago and my father doesn't garantee that we'll stay here for very long. He's in the navy so we're always moving all over the place."
"But I thought you said-"I didn't understand what she was saying. Is she just sparing my feelings or is she telling the truth? I honestly can't tell.
"I did and I lied, I just met them here so they wouldn't tell anyone I came alone."
"Oh...umm, I'm sorry"I said simpathetically. It breaks my heart that such a beauty could be treated so misserably. I noticed she looked cold and slipped my jacket off.
"Where are my manners? You must be freezing out here."
"Oh-no, I'll be fine....thank you."She said trying to sound as if she could handle any situation. I couldn't beleive how cute she looked so I wrapped my jacket around her shivering shoulders. She smiled in thanks and continued.
"Umm, thank you...Don't be sorry for me, I've always been treated like that by everybody; except my best friend Arrow, he'd never let me down."
"Well, what do you say we be friends; even just for a little while, I could use someone kind and intellegant to talk to." I offered. She smiled and looked me striaght in the eye.
"Ok, but on one condition"she said slyly.
"And what's that?"I whispered to her.
"Do you want to dance?"Amelia asked as she softly out one hand in mine and the other gracing my shoulder. I remember I seemed shocked and excited at the same time. I humbly accepted and while we began dancing, I'm afriad a deep conversation erupted. A while later we were still dancing. Amelia was well into the music by then, and I loved the way her hair smelled, stealing a whiff of the flowery fruity smell every chance I could get.
"I love this song...."
"Well, I'm glad...this is the best...time that I've glad, sad....had in a long...time."I was overwhelmed by how gorgeous she looked to say the least. Amelia chuckled at my little rant through devilish eyes. She looked at me; slowly drifting her eyes closed and opening them slowly, then gazing at me again
"You know something?...you have...wonderful eyes...."She whispered through the foggy haze of the moment, I smiled, but I didn't beleive her. She threw me a warm smile and Amelia lay her head down on my shoulder.
"She must be out of her mind..."I thought to myself as Amelia brushed her cheek to mine, trying not to fall asleep; her shimmering purple dress was sparkling in the moonlight like fire-flies under the foggy black shadow of my jacket, and her green eyes were twinkling like the moon. I didn't know what to say; I was so speechless by this untame beauty in my arms, willingly dancing with me.
"...Well, maybe not so long, I mean, I did discover a new blue dwarf near the Patrician Galaxy.... Well, actually it's a lot closer to the Coral Galaxy. But anyway, back to the star, the star about which Khoras (Khoras being in the Coral Galaxy) orbits is a binary star. The first of these two is a large, yellow star, very similar to Earth's sun, with a thick, gaseous cloud about it. This cloud is semi-transparent and is difficult to see from the surface of Khoras. The second sun is a much smaller, whitish-blue dwarf, which burns brightly. The gaseous envelope, which surrounds Karrym, is continually pulled from the yellow star into the blue dwarf in a streaming, shimmering ribbon of orange color. These two celestial bodies orbit each other in an elliptical, but stable orbit......... Amelia?" I started to tell her. I guess we were so caught up in the moment that we don't notice some tall guy standing there while we were dancing together.
"Amelia, what are you doing?"Said the tall stoney man standing next to us with gigantic crossed arms. I wish I could be that tall.
"Oh, it's you...why are you here?"she said unexcited as she rolled her eyes.
"I was in the neiborhood and decided to come see how that dance is going, but I see you were having fun."He said sarcastically.
"Shut up Arrow! I don't want to go home if that's the only reason that you're here..."
"I think it's time I got you home Amelia. Your mother will be worried." He said plainly, smiling warmly at me.
"It's not what it looks like! Well...umm-"I said quickly, trying to cover up my attraction to Amelia.
"Well..........In that case, do you think you could give me a ride?" Amelia pleaded me with her eyes, her friend answered for me instead. Damn!
"You know I'd be glad to Amelia"He said with an older brother tone.
"But I.."She arggued.
"Let's go Amelia."The tall guy said with an older brother tone rather like Gavin's.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go."Amelia said very disapointed.
"Is there anyway I can reach you, in case you want to talk sometime?" I begged, not wanting her to leave. Amelia got out a napkin she took from her purse and wrote down her phone number with an eyebrow pencil, and handed it to me.
"umm...ah-Thanks, I'll...I'll call you tomorrow."
"And I'll be waiting for your call."Amelia walked by him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good night, Delbert."She said slyly as she walked away, leaving me to my thoughts. Oh my goodness did she just kiss me, or am I dreaming?
"Umm...Good night."
Amelia and Arrow walked off in silence, while I was left with a big smile in my face before I eagarly ran home.
