Summary of last chapter: I Mariah is a new girl in this school called Falcony High School. In my first day (which was the second month for the students who started school regularly in September) I met a guy named Ray who everybody says he is in the BBA team and he's famous. This girl named Cleo Duncan says that he likes me but is what she says true? Find out in the coming chapters.

I'd like to thank my friend Hooria for giving me ideas and helping me on this chapter. Thanks Hooria

Now let's begin this chapter

Lost Memories

New Work

Chapter 2

The next day was weekend I was having breakfast when the phone rang (I wasn't alone in the apartment my big brother Lee lived with me and so did his friend Kevin) so Kevin picked up the phone.

"Hello," he said

"Ya she's here, just a second," he said again "Mariah there's someone on the phone for you."

So I took the phone and started talk "hello"

"Hi it's me," he said

"Who are you there's one million me's in this world you know?"

"No, I meant it's me Ray, I thought you would've known from my voice, anyways I called to ask you if..you could…uhmm…come over to my house so… uh... we could do our homework together, so… umm could you?"

"What! Go to your house?" I said shocked and kind of blushing

"Yes come to my house." He said answering my questions.

"I'm sorry but I can't." I said.

"Why not?" he asked

"You see I have a new work in this café every Saturday and Sunday from 7:00pm till 12:00am, and besides that I still don't know you very well so how can I go to your house?" I said

"Well you said you work from 7:00pm till 12:00am so you can come now its still 10:00 am, you still have 9 more hours, and come on, I'm your classmate, we'll do our homework and I'll help with it, what do you say are you gonna come." He said waiting for her to say yes.

"Umm….sorry but I can't, my brother won't let me." I said giving him an excuse

"Oh come on just ask him, maybe he'll say it's ok." He said suggesting a very stupid suggestion because my brother wasn't home he was at work, but I cant tell Ray that my brother isn't home, because then he'll say my brother won't see me when I go to his house and then I'll have to go to his house.

"Oh come on Ray I can't come because I still don't know you very well and I told you that a minute ago."

"Just this time Mariah." He said trying to get me to go to his house.

"No, I'm sorry Ray, I can't maybe another time. I mean, we've only just met yesterday."

"Ok, then, but next time I ask you, you have to come to my house ok." He said

"Ok, fine bye." I said

"Wait, before you close the phone what cafeteria do you work in?" he asked waiting for her to reply.

"Why do you ask?" I asked

"I just wanted to know, that's all." He said

"I work in the Sun and Sand Cafeteria on the beach."

"How nice," he thought "A cafeteria on the beach, wow!" "Thanks bye" he said

"Bye." I said closing the phone.

"Lee, we need more food our fridge is almost empty, can you take me shopping?" I asked my brother.

"Ya, just after I finish taking a bath." He said shouting from the bathroom

Right after Lee finished taking his bath he took me shopping for food, "I'll come to pick you up from here after half an hour ok." He said

"Ya, ok." I said going down from the car.

As I was shopping I saw a girl with short brown hair, ruby ored eyes, a short skirt, with a tank top and a pink sweater on top. At first I thought she was a girl in my class but she wasn't. I have a feeling that I knew this girl before, I feel that I have seen her before but where? Anyways so I just continued to shop. When I finished I took out my cell phone and told Lee that I was finished from shopping and to come pick me up.

15 minutes later Lee came. I rode the car and went home, on our way I saw the same girl I saw in the store in a taxi beside us. Right after the traffic lights, we went straight ahead, and the taxi she was in, turned right, it was going in the direction of the beach.

At 7:00pm

I took my car and went to the café I was supposed to start working in that night. When I got to the café I saw the same girl I saw when I was shopping and she was wearing an apron that said Sun and Sand Café, so I went up to her and asked "Do you work here?"

"Yes, can I help you?" she said smiling sweetly,

"Yes please, I am a new hired girl here and I want to know what to do here." I said

"Hi my name is Hilary Tatibana, come with me and I'll show you what to do." She said

"Hi my name is Mariah." I said

"Hey have I met you before? Wait a second, I remember you, aren't you Mariah from the White Tigers team don't you remember me I'm Hilary from the Blade Breakers team remember?" she said, hoping Mariah would remember.

"I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken Hilary, I'm not from the White Tigers team, I don't even know what you're talking about." I said with a confused look on my face.

"Mariah I'm not mistaken, isn't your brother Lee? Oh Mariah you couldn't have forgotten me that fast! Ok if you don't remember me then do you remember Ray?" she said.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about Hilary, but yes my brother is Lee, and yes I know a guy named Ray and he's also in the Blade Breakers Team. Now please can you just give me one of the café workers' aprons and tell me what to do please?" I said, trying to get off the subject.

"Ok, so you remember Ray but I hope you'll remember me soon." She said smiling.

"What do you mean remember Ray, I just met him this week in high school."

"Whatever Mariah let me just give you the apron so you could start work cuz you're confusing me."

'For a second I thought Hilary was crazy but she was right I have seen her before but where? Yea I hope I remember you too… I have a strange feeling that I have met her before… how does she know that Lee is my brother? God so many questions!' she thought.

After I wore my work apron I started working. I was a waitress. It was kind of hard going from table to table to take other peoples orders and wait for them to order what they want but it was also fun, especially now that I made a new friend; Hilary, and all the other waitresses were nice and polite too.

After a week or two Ray never called me it was strange because he used to call every single day maybe once or twice, even in school I hardly saw him. At that thought I never cared because he might be busy or something and besides that thought, I hardly knew the guy so why would I care.

The next Saturday

I was really bored sitting at home so I decided to call Hilary and see if she would like to go to the mall. I picked up the phone and dialed her number.

"Hello, Hilary Tatibana speaking"

"Hey Hilary, are you busy?"

"No, I am actually bored!"

"Yeah same here. Hilary, do you want to go shopping at the mall today?"

"Yeah sure, come to my house and we will take a cab from here since I live closest to the mall!"

"Yes, ok I will come in 15 minutes, Buh-Bye."

"Bye"

After I shut the phone and went to my room to change my clothes. I didn't know what to wear! Then I found something not too fancy but nice and simple. I took out a pink t-shirt that had a picture of a white cat in the middle and around it said 'Princess' and I took out simple blue jeans with 2 pink stars on each side and a pair of sandals. And for the final touch I took out my favorite silver choker that has a heart in the middle, with matching round earrings, and I tied my hair up in a high pony tail. I took my cell phone and put it in my purse and I was off. I went walking to Hilary's house since it was only a block away from my house.

I arrived at Hilary's house and rang the door bell.

DING-DONG

Hilary opened the door and said, "Hey Mariah, come in, I will be finished in one minute."

I sat down on the couch and waited for Hilary to come back from her room.

I heard foot steps coming from the stairs. There I saw Hilary wearing a red t-shirt and in the middle said '#1'in white. And she was wearing a simple jeans mini skirt. She was wearing earrings and a silver necklace and a red beaded bracelet.

"So you ready Mariah?"

"Yeah, I was waiting for you"

"Ok, the cab is outside so we better be going"

"Okay let's go"

At the mall

We were looking for everyday and formal clothes when we met two girls, one had blue hair, turquoise eyes, wore a red plain band around her head with two bangs hanging down her forehead. She was wearing a black T-shirt and on top she wore a red tank top. The other girl had orange hair with bangs hanging down on her forehead she pulled her hair back in a ponytail like the other one, she had dark blue eyes and wore a blue t-shirt and a beige mini skirt.
"Mariah, meet Mariam and Salima. They're my friends, Mariam is from the Saint Shields team and Salima is from Team Psykick " Hilary said introducing me to the 2 girls.

"I remember Mariah." Said Salima "She was apart of the White Tigers team."

"That's what I told her but she said I've been mistaken because she isn't in the White Tigers team! Strange, because I remember Mariah perfectly well. How can I forget her, she was my best friend? I can't believe she forgot me that fast." Hilary said again "Anyways, Mariah, I asked them to come to the mall too so you could meet them and they could come shopping with us." She told me

'God these people are freaking me out! I don't even know these people… or do I?' I thought.

We had a lot of fun that day, we tried on pants, shorts, Capri pants, t-shirts, tank tops, long sleeved shirts, skirts, dresses and accessories. We bought the clothes that were nice and we bought accessories and a pair of shoes that matched each outfit or clothes we bought. At the end, when we were going home each of us had at least 5 full shopping bags in our hand, and we each spent more than $500. Wow! That was a lot!

When I went home that day, I saw my brother right in front of me.

"Yes?" I said with a confused look on my face.

"Where have you been?"

"I was out shopping in the mall with my friend"

"And who was that friend you were with?"

"I was with Hilary Tatibana"

"Hey wait a second, isn't Hilary that girl you were best friends with when you were a kid?"

"No, I met her 2 weeks ago in the café, she also works there."

"Oh, then that's a different Hilary."

"Yeah, a different Hilary" I said under my breath.

'Why do Hilary, Mariam and Salima insist on saying they know me? And why did my brother think that Hilary is a girl I knew since I was a kid' I thought to myself that night.

Every time I think of Ray, Hilary, Salima and Mariam I get a blurred (I mean by blurred, that she gets a picture of some people she can't remember) picture of some other people, but I can't identify who they are. Goodness, all these questions in my head are confusing me, what do I do? I really do need someone's help, but whom?

Should I ask Lee? No maybe not. Maybe I should ask Ray or Hilary… on second thought maybe I shouldn't, I can't trust those two they're new to me. Maybe I should ask Kevin, maybe he'll know; Kevin's always been on my side and always helps me when I need help, and answers what ever questions I have, he's been like another brother to me. Maybe I should ask him or shouldn't I?

Will she ask Kevin or will she leave the answers uncover themselves later on? Well find out next chapter.
