Hey, sorry about these chapters, we're just introducing some main
characters and in the next chapter we'll most likely already be in the
book. And sorry for the name changing from Kim to Jen. Just some personal
problems. Thanks!
Chapter 2
Chantal's Point Of View
Well, we ended up going to meet them. Val got worried because they were taking too long to get here, and she grabbed her stuff and ran out. I ended up grabbing my black zip-up sweater and running after her. After I grabbed my cell, I don't leave anywhere without it.
As we were walking, we were lost in our own trail of thought. I raised my arms up and put my hands behind my head, humming a little tune in my head, which I couldn't get out. Val, on the odd occasion, would look over and start laughing and me. I would look over at her and just smile, she would start to faintly blush, for some odd reason.
"Chantal, lets stop here and wait for them." Val nudged me and I stopped.
"Hnn?" I asked dumbfounded.
"I said we could stop here to wait for them. Un...less you wanna go after them...?" I shook my head and sat on the table outside of Burger King. She sat on the chair next to where I was sitting and I pat her head gently.
Val looked down the street, saw a familiar bunch of people, and sat up on the edge of her seat. I, who was lying back on the table, heard her get up and lifted my arm to look at her. She got up and started to walk slowly towards the group, and I got up to follow her.
"Val," I called after her. She looked back at me and signaled for me to follow her. Me, being as dumb as I am, just stood there. I realized after she didn't come back that she wasn't coming back. She was at least ten meters away when I realized it, and I started running after her.
She caught up with the others, (Kathleen, Fenja, Tul and Jen) and I was still running after her.
"Hey Tul!" I yelled a couple of feet away. She waved at me taking a drag of her cigarette, and then I stopped. She offered it to me, and I immediately took it into my hand, crouching down to the ground, and taking a drag.
Tul was the tough one of our group. She was basically the male, our leader.
I looked up at Val and she crouched down next to me with a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry for running ahead, but...I was excited to see them all." I took another drag, and passed it up to Tul, still glaring at Val, playfully. I got up and they all looked at me surprised.
I looked at them all as though they were crazy. "What?" Fenja pointed at my head, and I brought a hand up to my hair. "Oh, that. Yeah, I decided that I was going to change my hairstyle today. I needed to do something new."
Val smiled and looked up at Tul, who had just finished her cigarette. She looked at everyone, and guided us to move on. Everyone, except for me, started walking. I started walking when she had. She shoved her hands in her pockets and pulled out her lighter and another cigarette to light. She slowed down ever so slightly, and lit it up, inhaling, then exhaling deeply.
Kathleen was a strange but beautiful girl. She had shoulder length brown hair with black streaks, puppy-dog brown eyes, and a round face. She was quite slim, and tall, as well. Val was latched onto her arm like a leech, yet she was leaning her head against Kathleen's arm; she had a headache.
Fenja was a tall and slim woman, about 5'8". Her long blond hair streaked with blue, traveled down her back between her shoulder blades. Her slender hands were holding onto the straps of her backpack, cautiously. She never really trusted anyone on the streets, and could blame her?
Jen is one of the happiest people you could meet. She had shoulder length blond hair with dark green streaks, which, in my opinion, actually looked nice. She had an oval face, green eyes.
We all began to walk to Val's house. Val had decided since her parents were gone that all of them would have a sleepover at her place. I glanced around before Tul passed me her cigarette and I took a drag and held it for a moment before exhaling.
"What's with Val?" Tul asked. I look at Val who was still leaning against Kathleen and smiling occasionally at Kathleen's little jokes or puns. I shrugged slightly "She just has a headache, I guess." I said. Tul looked slightly content with that answer and nodded before taking the cigarette and taking another drag.
All of a sudden I heard the sound of a can hitting something and I turned around to see Val holding the side of her head and Kathleen was glaring. I saw whom she was glaring at and who had thrown that can. It was a group of about four in a car that was going very slow and occasionally stopped. Tul was already mouthing off at them I went over by Tul.
"You freaks! Why don't you go back under the rock you came from!? No one wants ya hear so why don't you do the world a favor and kill yourselves!"
"Why don't you buzz off!? We don't want or need you here! You morons should go back to kindergarten!" I said glaring at them. If looks could kill, they would have all blown up.
"I think your moms are calling for their big baby's to go home for a nap! Go home!" Tul yelled and threw the can at them as they left. The can did crack their back window because it was full. I walked over to Val and looked at the side of her head where the can had hit her. There already was a bump by her temple.
"Its going to leave a big enough bruise. Thank God that it missed her temple. That would have really did some damage." Kathleen told us. Tul turned around and punched a tree that was nearby which left a dent in its trunk.
"Fuckin' Jerks! Why do always do this?! We didn't do anythin' to them and their still tryin' to pick a fight. Next time I'll burn their face with my lighter!" Tul yelled completely pissed off at people doing this to them.
We all continued our walk to Val's place. I looked over at Val who was leaning her head against Kathleen's shoulder. She must have noticed that I was looking at her because she smiled at me trying to show as if there's nothing wrong. She hates making others worry about her or get involved in her problems.
Anyway, we continued our walk to Val's. She had decided that since her parents weren't in, she would have a sleepover at her house with all of us invited. Val's brother wasn't going to be there, either; higher noise level!
I glanced around at everyone, and Tul tapped my shoulder with her wrist, holding the cigarette in front of me. I took it between my thumb and pointer finger and took a puff. Tul put her arms behind her head and pointed at Val with her chin.
"What's with Val?" She asked me. I looked over at Val blowing out the smoke. Val was leaning on Kathleen's shoulder, smiling once or twice at the jokes Kathleen made to cheer her up.
"She probably just has a headache. It's normal for her, you should know that." I smiled lightly and looked over at Tul taking another puff of the cigarette and handing it to her. She nodded and looked around.
I looked at one of the cars beside us and saw that one of the guys in the backseat threw something out the window. I ran forward to get Val out of the way, but it was too late. It hit her. She fell to the ground letting Kathleen's arm go and cursed at the top of her lungs. I helped her up and started yelling at the guys in the car.
"Hey! What the hell'd ya do that for?!" I cursed. Tul was starting to run after them, holding the can that they threw at Val.
"Why don't you guys crawl back under the rock you came from?!" She yelled at them tossing the can. They drove off as fast as they could, and it just hit one of the back lights.
I held Val and she leaned against me. I took a look at her head, and saw that it was just a bump, nothing too serious. But still, they didn't exactly have to throw it at Val; it's dangerous...
Tul ran back over and walked up to Val putting a hand on her shoulder. "You ok?" She slightly pulled Val towards her and checked out the side of her head. She cringed when she saw that the bump was huge.
"Yeah, I'll be fine...but those jerks didn't have to make my headache any worse." We laughed a bit at the lameness of that little joke, and started walking towards the house more. We saw a couple of friends here and there driving past, and of course, we waved to them, they honked back, yadda yadda yadda.
When we got back, Val though she lost her key. But to our advantage, she gave me a spare; thank god for me, I guess.
Thanks a lot and please read and review!!!
