So for this little drabble here, I wrote it mostly in English class. We had a bunch of words on the board to choose to write about, and I wrote about Topaz. And I found myself writing about Gwen soon enough, and I decided to turn it into my entry for the Gwen/Heather section. I'm not used to writing yuri, so I decided to just avoid interaction. I don't really like this piece, but it is just a random. :P
Some little things often lead to bigger ones…
Topaz.
It was the color of my birthstone, but still. It meant nothing to me. I much preferred the color of emeralds or rubies, but when getting my ears pierced my mother insisted upon getting topaz, my actual birthstone. She had this thing about having things done properly, and that included not getting my ears pierced in whatever birthstone I wanted.
I didn't even understand why God chose me to be born in the Christmas season. I was generally not a very happy person, so why was I born during the jolly season of joy where fat old men sit at the mall, listening to kids ramble on about what they want for the holidays? I was never even one of those kids…sitting on Santa's lap just wasn't something I did. It just wasn't me.
I wasn't even very fond of the topaz. Even as a child, I wore generally darker clothes, clashing with the topaz color hanging in my ears. But as soon as the holes were opened up fully, the topaz earings were out and out for good. When I was old enough, my natural dirty blonde hair was dyed black, and my single ear piercing was replaced with some higher ones, that weren't topaz. My mother protested me getting the piercings, and the color of them, but she came out unsuccessful for each argument of hers.
People even say that your birthstone is supposed to connect you to other people that have the same one as you. You're apparently supposed to share likes, interests, and even some stuff deep down. Still after 16 years of living though, I found no mutual interests with my sworn enemy, Heather Smith, who happened to be born in December as well.
Maybe the color topaz brought us together.
Maybe topaz is the reason we are currently making out in Geoff Carrera's closet. But we'll never know. I guess some things just happen for reasons unknown.
Yeah, this was definitely the good copy of a rough draft, with names and slight editing. :P
I hope you guys enjoyed…review? It would totally make my day! But thanks for reading!
