Hey people, Merry Christmas!!!
Bella Feels Broken
"And today was a day just like any other..."
He flicked me in the ear as I tried to do my homework.
I just ignored him.
Flick.
Ignore.
Flick.
Ignore.
Flick.
"WILL YOU STOP…it?" I had turned around to tell off the person who had been flicking me when I saw that it was Josh.
Stupid homeroom, he wasn't even in my homeroom, was he? Maybe I just hadn't noticed before.
Oh…SHUT UP…of course I noticed. I used to have a crush on him.
"Oh…hey Josh," I said, preparing for a conversation.
He smirked at me, "Hey Bella…"
As if that wasn't a shocker.
"How…how do you know that?" I asked harshly.
He pointed up at the teacher, "Attendance…"
"Oh…"
Great, that's how everyone's gonna find out.
"I'm not gonna tell Connor…"
"You aren't?"
"Nope…you are."
I felt my whole body freeze.
It was getting harder to keep the lie…great.
"Hey Josh," After school I called out to him before I walked home.
He walked over to me, "Hey Be…"
I looked at him fiercely.
"Amanda…" He finished, and I smiled.
He laughed, "You're talking this way too seriously."
"How?"
"You think there's gonna be a big, huge, explosion if he finds out that you're also…"
I flashed a warning glance at him.
"…that person…" He finished again.
This time I laughed, great…
"What's so funny?" He laughed with me.
I smiled at him.
I was started to feel something for him...it was strange…
I decided to play Bella as I walked along the streets of Amity Park…the real Bella, in her black eyeliner, red lipstick, mascara, black hair, and blue eyes.
People looked at me differently then they would "Amanda".
"Hey! There's that one chick!"
I turned around and saw them…the guys from the roller rink.
Uh-oh…
I ran like my life depended on it, but there were becoming less and less places to run too…and I was running out of breath.
I stopped in an alleyway and tried to hide behind a trash can…but it was no use. They could hear my panting.
They pulled me off of the ground and I was pinned up against the wall.
"What do you want?" I said as tears formed in my eyes.
God, why does this happen to me?
The leader of the guys stepped over to me and whispered very perverted things into my ear.
"NO WAY!" I screamed.
"Guess that we're going to have to do this the hard way." The leader of the guys smirked as he put his hands on my waist.
"STOP!!! PLEASE!!! STOP!!! HELP ME!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!" I continued screaming.
I closed my eyes as I didn't want to see what was about to happen.
"Hey, let her go."
I kept my eyes shut.
"Aren't you that new Cenron Phantom freak?"
"Yeah, aren't you supposed to stop other ghost freaks?"
A brief pause.
"Yeah, but I'm also registered to stop jerks like you guys too."
I smiled slightly at his remark.
Long pause.
Someone taking a few steps.
"You think you're such a big hotshot, well…"
A blast of something and a small girlish yelp.
I opened my eyes, and saw that the big leader had just been shot at.
"Fine we'll leave, but this isn't the end Phantom," The leader growled and then looked at me, "We'll be back for you. So don't expect this guy to be here all the time."
They walked away without saying anything else.
I sighed a huge sigh of relief.
I saw Cenron fly to the ground and walk over to me.
"Uh…are you alright?" He asked.
I flung my arms around him and he took a few steps back in surprise
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!" I screamed with praise.
"Uh…your welcome?"
I realized that I was still holding onto him.
I blushed as I quickly let go.
"S-sorry about that…" I looked down at the ground.
He extended a hand out to me, "Do you want a lift home?"
I looked up at him.
"It's better then running into those goons again," My eyes widened as I thought about what they would do if they ever saw me again.
Hesitantly I grabbed his hand and he put his arm around my waist as we flew up into the air.
I closed my eyes. The feeling was nice and calm.
"Uhm, where do you live?" He asked me.
My eyes widened…he couldn't know where I lived, "I…uh…"
But then I realized…that he wasn't Connor.
I burst into laughter for almost giving myself a heart attack and I told him where I lived.
I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.
"See ya later," I said as I walked into my house.
I watched him fly off into the sky.
"Hello?"
"Uh…hi, is Josh there?" I asked shyly.
"Oh, uh…yes he is. He was just about to leave to go see his girlfriend. I'll try to catch him for you…hello? Hello? Hello?"
He. Has. A. Girlfriend.
It slapped me across the face and I could feel the tears building…though I wondered why I cared so much.
"I'm still here…" I said as my voice shook.
"It seems he has left already. Do you want to leave a message for him?"
"No, but…uh…can you tell me who his girlfriend is?"
"I believe her name is Kara…hello? Are you there?"
Thud.
The phone dropped to the ground as my mouth hung open and tears fell down my face.
Why did I believe that I had a chance?
