Chapter 2: Chloe
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This chapter's dedicated to the best cousin in the world, Princesa Alisakura, so don't none of ya'll go and be mean to her, or I'll shall give you my wrath!
When I first heard some old lady yell at me for listening to music on the airplane, I'm pretty sure that you can guess that I was angry. Of course, I didn't want to upset anyone by throwing in my two sense, so I turned my music off, and listened to Ms. Halitosis rant about teenagers nowadays. Whatever, today's supposed to be a good day for me.
I guess right now's the time for introductions. I'm Chloe, nice to meet you. I'm going to LA to visit my dad and my spazzy cousin, Alexa. You see, I kind of prefer her more over her sister, mainly because her sister One: Knows nothing about anime, Two: Talks all the time, and Three: Alexa's just easier to hang out with. But I can talk about that later. Right now, I'm on an airplane headed for LA.
I sigh after Ms. Halitosis stops talking, and hear an announcement from the captain of the airplane.
"Hello, passengers," he says, "We are now in LA. Please stay in your seats until the seat belt light flickers off. Have a nice day." I smile as I walk down the aisle with my luggage after the seat belt light turns off. Soon, I'm out of LAX and into the sidewalk, waiting for my Dad, Aunt Kelly, and my two cousins to pick me up. After about thirty minutes, they show up amidst hundreds of cars, and pull up in front of me. I grab the handle to the SUV that my Aunt's driving, and get into the car.
"Hey, Chloe!" Alexa says with a grin. Tori says a quick "Hi," but is reading a book, so she really isn't paying attention.
"Hey, Chloe," my Dad says along with my Aunt.
"So how was the ride?" Alexa asks as my Aunt's driving down the free way. I sigh.
"Not that great," I say, "There was some lady with halitosis that told me to stop listening to my music cause she said it was too loud."
"You should have told her to get a breath mint, Chloe," my Dad says.
"Yeah," I say, resting my head on my hand, "I probably should have."
After about thirty or forty minute, we arrived at my Aunt's house. I got out of the car, and noticed Alexa was hanging out with me in front of the door, and Tori was beside her mom. Maybe I was thinking about it a little too far, but I think that my two cousins may not enjoy each other's company. We enter my Aunt's house, and Alexa shows me where I'll be sleeping: Her room.
"Yeah," she says, "This is my room. I recently put up some wall posters I got from Anime Expo last year, so it's a little different." A little different was an understatement. The ceiling was covered with a Code Geass poster, and Alexa's room actually looked clean for once. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just my little cousin was never really a fan of organization. I set my suit case next to her bed, and began to head for the kitchen. However, before I could, Alexa grabbed my hand. I whirled around, wondering what was going on.
"Alexa," I said, "Do you need something?" Alexa shook her head.
"No, Chloe," she said, "I need to show you something. Something really important." Okay, I will say I was a little intrigued, but I needed Alexa to stop death gripping my hand.
"I'd like to see," I say, "But I kinda need you to let go." Alexa looked down at her clenched hand.
"Oh, sorry, I've just been kinda on edge today." I nod my head, and stand behind Alexa as she digs inside her school bag. She took something out, and showed it to me, her eyes wide.
What I did next would change everything I ever knew about the world.
Love ya, cuz.
