Grey Roses
Danielle's POV
The next morning when I woke-up I found Sharmell downstairs fixing breakfast. I thought that was weird since she never cooked, so I decided to investigate.
"Hey Shar". I greeted with a smile. She had just finished making toast.
"Hey DQ". She greeted somewhat unhappily.
"What's wrong?". She kept silent as we both sat down at the table, she placed the food in front of us. "Sharmell".
"...what if we leave". She blurted out.
"Huh?".
"What if something were to happen...and...we had to move to Louisiana. Danny I don't wanna leave". She said worriedly.
"Don't worry shar, nothing will happen we'll be fine". I reassured her.
"But what if like, something happens to grandpa, we'll be orphans".
"Sharmell stop it, don't say things like that, you'll jinx us. Nothing...will...happen"
"Alright". She said as she began to eat.
Even though I had calmed my sister down, apart of me was wondering. What if something did happen?
Randy's POV
My science class was getting ready for our field trip we would be taking today. We would be going to a lake to look for insects.
As much as I didn't want to go on this field trip, it was a way for me to get close to Stacey Keblier. See, I've had a crush on her for about a year now and I was kinda upset when she asked John to the dance instead of me. But I was happy for him even though I was somewhat jealous.
"Okay class". My science teacher Mr. Bautista said. "I need everyone's permission slips and then we can head out to the bus".
As he went around the class, Kurt, who was sitting beside me leaned over to my desk.
"Hey Randy, you know what's up with John, he's been acting weird every since we heard about the dance". He whispered. I turned to the head of the class where john was sitting, head on his desk, tapping his pencil. He looked somewhat depressed.
"I don't know, we'll ask him on the bus". I whispered back, kurt nodded.
"Alright everyone, let's go". Mr. Bautista said. We all got our things and left to the bus.
As we got on, our teacher arranged seats for everyone. Kurt, me and john sat together behind our other friend Christian and Adam. After everything was in order, we left.
As we rode along I watched john, he had his feet rested on the seat in front of him and the black hoodie he was wearing covered his entire face.
"John what's up with you?". I asked.
"Nothing". He said, he took off the hoodie and sat back.
"John, you've been acting depressed every since you heard about the dance and Stacey asking you to be her date". I said. I heard him make a frustrated sigh.
"Fine, you wanna know what's wrong, I'm going to the dance with Stacey and I don't even like her".
"Everybody likes Stacey john, she's the most popular and hottest girl in the school". I heard Christian say.
"No, she's not". John whispered.
"Well, who is". Kurt asked. John kept silent. We sat like that for the rest of the ride.
As the bus stopped we grabbed our bags and got out one by one. Looking around I saw it didn't look like anything I imagined it to be. There were bright green trees everywhere and sparkling green grass. You could hear the insects all around and right in front of us was a blue crystal lake. To me it almost looked romantic.
Stacey's POV
Getting off the bus I saw the lake and all the trees and grass. It was so beautiful and romantic. I looked to my side and saw Randy, Kurt, Christian, Adam and John who had his hoodie over his head. Even though I couldn't see his face, just standing there he looked so cute. I was broken out of my thoughts when my three friends Torrie, Victoria and Trish walked up to me.
"Wow, this place looks cool". Trish said.
"I don't know Tri, these insects keep biting me". Torrie said as she slapped a bug from her arm.
"Oh come on you guys". Victoria said pushing past the two. "You have to admit that this is breath taking".
"What do you think Stace?". Trish asked me.
"I think I'm gonna go over and be with my future boyfriend". I said walking towards john leaving my three friends behind.
John's POV
I was standing next to my 4 best friends listening to our Science teacher babble on about whatever he was talking about. All I could think about was Danielle, I just wish she had my class, suddenly I felt an arm wrap around mine and a voice said...
"Hey John". I turned to my side and Stacey was hugging on my arm smiling at me.
I looked her up and down before responding. "Hey Stace". I took a sigh while rolling my eyes then turned back to the teacher.
"Isn't it beautiful". She said referring to our surrounding, I looked around for a second.
"Yeah". I said not really paying any attention to her.
"The lake, the green wet grass, the pine trees".
"Oak trees Stace, oak". I corrected her.
"Whatever". She said, I rolled my eyes.
"What!". Christy said.
"And then she said if anything happens while we're here, she's taking us to Louisiana, forever". Sharmell said. We were in the cafeteria talking about the events of yesterday.
"Well I hope nothin' happens, I don't want you guys to leave, besides Lita you're the only friends I have at this school". Christy said sadly taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Don't worry christy, nothing is gonna happen...we're staying here". I said.
"You know, you're the only one outta the three of us that's all calm and collected, don't tell me your not scared of leaving". Sharmell said looking into my eyes.
"Are you kidding, of course I'm scared of leaving, I love this place, even if it is a little segregated. All you gotta do is stay positive".
"You right". Christy agreed putting on a smile. "We just gotta stay positive".
"Exactly, now can we talk about something else". I said taking a sip of my water, all this drama was getting on my nerves.
"Sure, we can talk about the dance". Sharmell said, a smile appearing on her face.
"Must you rub it in every chance you get that I don't have a date". I said.
"You know Danny, it's not to late to get a date, there are plenty of available guys left that don't have a date".
"Their not my type".
"But you haven't even see them yet".
"Their not my type".
"Well what is your type?".
"I don't know, I don't wanna date, now will you please stop playing match maker for me". I said angrily. They shrugged and left me by myself.
The fact of the matter is, I didn't think I was good enough to have a date. I wasn't cute, I had a little meat on me and I was small, I knew there was no way that a guy would wanna go out with me, that's why they liked girls like Sharmell, Christy, Lita, Stacey and her friends, because they were pretty.
"Face it Danielle". I thought to myself. "There's no guy for you".
Little did I know that at the dance, I would meet that special guy. But I didn't know what drama he would bring.
