Chapter Thirteen: Like Romance in a Novel. . . NOT!

When school was over, Eiko was excited to get out of there. She was so excited that she was the first one out of that school building. Boy was she running to, unlike the other kids. "Garnet!" She called, expecting her to rush by her side at her voice. She yelled again, "Garnet!!" However, there was no Garnet. "Hmph!" She said. However, as she turned around, she was greeted by some unexpected visitors.

"Sup?" Asked a punkish girl.

"Excuse me?" She asked, trying to understand.

"What is up? What is going on? Do you under-" A boy, who was punkish like her, was speaking like a robot. However, he was cut off when the girl punched him.

""I'm Avril. This is my mentally disturbed friend Evan. Who are you?" She asked, curious of the girl that neither she or Evan had seen before.

""I am Eiko. I am from the classiest countries in all of Gaia: Alexandria. Now, if you will excuse me, I must be on my way. . ." Eiko ended, trying to sound polite. Yet, at the way her day was going, it did not seem like she could be anymore nicer. She even might get meaner. And she can be VERY, VERY evil.

Avril raised a brow at her. "Do you even know where you're goin'?" She asked.

"No," Evan whispered to Avril. Yet again, he recieved a punch. "Oww!" He exclaimed.

"Do I look like I care? At this point, I don't even care if fall along the way! I'll just keep on going because you, you, Miss Lookie-at-me-because-I-want-attention, can not keep such a girl as I down!" With that, Eiko marched off of school grounds and just sat down on the sidewalk, thinking. "Maybe I was a bit harsh on those children back there. I mean, after all, they did not do anything to make me angry. But no! They are just like all the other kids here. They are simply unclassy. Her choice of clothing was very unlike the Alexandrians! So, why should I even try to comprehend the thinking of someone who is simply a freak?" Eiko reflected of this for quite a while.

It was about thirty minutes when she finally realized it had been uite a while and no one had showed up. When she looked at her pink watch, she jumped up! "Oh no!" She exclaimed, remembering her little set up date she had.

Then, she immediately started running home. She hoped that it was the right way. Earlier, she had tried to memorize which way they had went to get to school. Hopefully, her memory wouldn't die. . . "Hmm. . ." She thought aloud as she stopped. Then, remembering, she rushed home.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

It was about thirty minutes by the time she got home. When she did, she had to do some more running into the washroom, without shutting the door.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Zidane and Garnet were hanging out at Zidane's house. He had asked Garnet earlier to help him with getting ready. He knew that she would too.

"So, have you seen a picture of the girl before?" Garnet asked. She was lying on his bed, looking at a skating magazine. "I mean, do you know what she looks like or what her name is?"

Zidane turned around to face her. "Nope. But my dad did tell me she's some kind of foreign chick." He answered.

"You mean like Eiko?" Garnet asked. She tilted her head to the side.

"Eiko's foreign?" Zidane asked a bit surprised.

"Well, yea. . ." Garnet replied simply. Then, she sat up on Zidane's bed. "I mean, Alexandria is where I'm from. I told you that when-"

"Yea, I know. I just, umm. . . I didn't know that Alexandria. . . was a little country place and all." Then, as Zidane concluded, he rubbed the back of his neck.

Garnet couldn't help but laugh.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

When the two kids were done, Garnet walked home. She insisted that Zidane not walk with her. Yet, he did anyways. In a way, she was happy that he was so nice to her, yet somehow, she was mad because she felt small. She felt weak. . .

"So, umm. . . Garnet. . ." Zidane's voice was weak. . . It was anxious.

Garnet looked up at him smiling. "Yea?" She asked.

He stared at her. . . Yet he didn't say anything. Next, all he did was kiss her. First, it was light. Then, it was as if he would never see her again. After a while, the two let go.

"So, umm. . . I have to. . . go. . ." She said. "I guess I'll see you later. . ."

"Yea. . . Bye," Zidane's voice began to fade.

Soon, Eiko came out. "Umm, Garnet. . . and my date?"

"Eiko. . . I was just talking to your. . . umm, date here. He is very decent!" Garnet exclaimed, smiling.

"Thank you. . ." Eiko said.

Garnet laughed and then went inside. She knew that everything would go right and she would fall madly in love with him. All Garnet hoped was that Eiko wouledn't get hurt. After all, that was what usually happened.

"Garnet! Are you home?" Called a voice. It was, of course, her mother's voice.

"Yes, Mama. What's wrong?" Asked Garnet. "Do you need help with something?"

"Could you come in the kitchen?" Asked Brahne.

"Yes, Ma'am!" Garnet called back. She sighed. Of course, that was what she was just about to do. What was it now? Did her mother need help feeding herself? Just then, Garnet laughed thinking of a 500 pound baby identicle to Brahne.

"Garnet?" Asked Brahne. "Could you please hurry? I have to talk to you!" Now her mother's voice had got a bit disappointed like. She sounded not so happy about something. So, now was the time to rush to the kitchen to greet her mother. All Garnet hoped was that it was not anything too bad. . .

"I'm here, Mother." Garnet stated, walking in the kitchen. "What is it?"

"Honey, I was, umm, going through your room to look for something and I found this. . . What is this?" Asked Brahne.

"I don't know. Let me look at it, Mother." Garnet replied.

"No. . . I'll read it. . ." Brahne insisted. " Hmm. . . Okay! Here it is:
Dear Garnet, It's us, Bre and Lola (two different handwritings). Hey! We just want to tell you that Zidane is really worried about you. He says that you have been really moddy lately. I think he thinks you're like pregnant or something, Are you, for real? Write back as soon as possible! Bye!
Bre, Lola."

"WHAT?!" Garnet yelled. That was such a surprise to her. What had Bre and Lola done now? It seemed like they were always causing trouble. "Wait! I am NOT pregnant!! Why would I be p-p-PREGNANT?!"

"Garnet, I do not know. . . But, I don't know what the heck is going on here. So. . . understand this is only to protect you, but you are no longer alllowed to see that boy!"

"Oh my. . . Mama! No! Not now! We would. . . I would. . . He would. . . NEVER!!!!" Garnet stomped upstairs. She felt herself blush. Right then, Garnet was paralyzed in shock.How could her mother possibly think that??

AN: Okay, now, I know that it has been FOREVER since my last update and I would like to appologize. I will try to make the next update faster. Bye!
