Bouzi Neo & Celeb Ryu
Chapter Seven: I Was A Goddess
And so I left them to their freakishness...
I walked into the "living room" where people were watching TV...and who should be on the screen... but my brother…
"That guy is soooo cute!"
"So Mr. Briefs," the reporter asked, "Is it true your sister, Bura, the perfect model, had a mental breakdown?" I saw all the eyes in the room flicker to me.
Trunks smiled his perfect smile and responded at the perfect time, "Of course not. She's in the hospital due to stomach pains; we're not sure what's wrong with her. I'm sure she'll be back to talk to you in a matter of weeks."
Some girl snickered, "How much did you have to pay him to lie?"
Like he needed payment...he's covering his own ass...I look bad...he looks bad
Trunks went on and they talked about Pan-his favorite subject. Other than himself, that is.
"The lucky bitch! He actually proposed to that tomboy?" I head someone say, don't these girls have lives?
"I think it's for promotional use only. Pan IS Satan's granddaughter and Son's daughter. Plus I think her other grandfather was some sort of legend when he was a kid."
"No. They love each other...I've seen them." I muttered.
"Didn't you and her uncle date, I mean until he dumped you…" Crystal sniggered.
Goten...
Another laughed and hooked her arm around me, "We're just kidding. But I'm telling you, your roommates are WACKED. Don't get caught up in their stuff."
"Yeah."
"It's just a word of the wise."
"They'll never leave, not that they want to, they LIKE being that way."
"I heard one just faked it because she didn't want to leave."
"Their parents must hate them."
"I would."
"You sure they didn't grow up in the wild?"
"I don't think they grew up."
I just listened, why couldn't I've been put with these, normal girls?
The girl started playing with my hair, "Have you ever braided it before?"
"No. They usually left it down...they said it looked best that way."
"What do YOU think though?"
I shrugged, "I've never had it braided. I couldn't say."
"Shall we find out?"
I shrugged again," Sure..."
And suddenly, it happened again, with a flash I was the center of the room, center of everyone, sitting again while they fussed over me. I was their goddess.
I have to admit; I had missed this feeling
The one who made the bitchy comment before explained it was more against Trunks than me... they were so nice.
So normal...unlike the freaks I shared living quarters with.
I wanted to hear more about them...
More about who they were and… What they were.
But I also wanted to hear more about me.
"You know, I always wanted to meet you," The girl gushed as she braided my hair.
"What's your name?"
"Veronica miss, this is such a honor!"
I smiled. Respect. Miss. Not Perfect…
This is what I was used to...and what I deserved!
This was I.
The only person who gave me more attention then this...was Goten...damnit why does everything remind me of him
None of them were what you'd call beautiful, but a good most were skinny with average faces.
Better then the freaks anyways... They continued playing with my hair... loving me.. No... Not loving me... loving a celebrity. Someone who's superior to them..Which I am, I mean I don't belong here. I belong on the cover of magazines, like the good days. I belong in the salon, I belong in Capsule Corporation, at photo shoots...
on the big screen, on TV… In the movies. Anywhere but here. Neo came in, yawing and walked past us. Her jeans were black and her almost wet-looking hair was now everywhere, gel flakes. Eww. She should do something with it.
No! No, no, no! Go away!
Ryu followed her, with her nose stuck in the book and wearing headphones. Her hair was practically one big tangle; doesn't she even care?No, no, no, no! Go away!
Neo's lipstick was the only thing that they bothered re-apply. Look at how pale they look... Crystal looked at Ryu, "You're reading that damn book again?"Ryu looked up and sneered, "At least I can read."
Neo closed her eyes and sat on a chair, dangling from it.
No, no, no! Go away.
Ryu looked up from her book, "It's coed group tomorrow right Neo?"
"I think."
"Good, I'll get to see Anthony then." She went back to her book "Hmm..."
group? Well flirting always cheered me up a little bit...
Bura's trying to move on or is she wanting an excuse? No Reviewer's Corner.
