Author's Notes:
So for like the first time since I've started this fanfic I'm updating on a Sunday. It maybe 7 minutes untill Monday but hey...
When I was writing this chapter it started off really short. So I left it for a few hours and went back to it and it ended up being longer than any other chapter I've written so far. Sorry for the very long paragraphs, I know it's annoying but I can't help it.
This chapter is called Emotions because there are simply a lot of emotions involved. Clever right? :P
I do not own My Candy Love or any of its characters. However I do own my OC's and the descriptions so please don't just take them. I work hard to get them how I want. This applies throughout this story. I just don't always remember to put it in the notes.
Read it. Review it. Enjoy it.
Soon enough it was Friday. I was actually pretty excited but at the same time I was dreading it. I thought that no one will turn up or my house would get wrecked, I thought about the police turning up and then the party would be ruined. I wouldn't want that, everybody in school would be talking about how much the party failed. I didn't care that much about what they thought but I agreed to have the party, I didn't want it to be terrible.
Lysander got some flyers sorted and threw them around the corridor and posted some in people's lockers. I thought the flyers were a bit much but he insisted on having them. My auntie took me to a neighbouring city to get some party stuff. At the start I had a feeling that she was going to be angry with me, after all she bought the house and we haven't been living in it that long. She wouldn't want it wrecked. I was wrong, she was really excited saying 'it's so nice to know that you are socializing'. She wanted to be involved as much as she could without 'cramping my style'. That involved her helping to turn the house into a nightclub. She insisted to make the theme of the party 'glow in the dark' . I didn't really mind that, it seemed a cool idea but then she nearly bought everything in the shop. In the end we bought: Face and Body paint, nail polish, fabric markers, gloves, hairspray, eye and lip pencils and glitter. This was all glow in the dark, that was just to do with clothes and body. There was lots of everything, she wanted to make sure that there would be enough for everyone. Then came the real things for the party, there were: coke glasses, shot glasses, ice cubes, jugs, ice buckets, martini glasses, straws, uv lights, disco lights, laser lights, bubble machine and the fluid for it and much more. I think it's safe to say she went over the top by a lot. Her reply when I told her this was 'you don't have to use it up this time, you can save it for the party after this one'. I wasn't sure I was going to have a party after this one.
I guess she was right, in buying so much of everything. Castiel was right, I met tons of new people over the week. There was the ginger girl, Iris she was really nice and welcoming. Then there was Peggy who was a reporter, well for the school newspaper anyway. Melody was a student delegate which meant she spent loads of time with Nathaniel, just like mu sister who got closer and closer with him, Melody wasn't necessarily happy with that as according to Peggy she fancied Nathaniel, Violette was the purple haired girl, she was shy and quiet at the start but once she got to know me a bit better she was more comfortable around everyone, also she was an amazing artist. Kim who wasn't very nice, she thought of all of us as 'little girls' which didn't really make sense because she was the same age as the rest of us. Capucine, another Amber minion, she just did anything Amber told her to and followed Ambers orders. Obviously she wasn't as high as Li and Charlotte who actually got the 'pleasure' to follow Amber around like little dogs.
Then there were the boys: Armin and Alexy who were twins, Alexy was gay and extremely outgoing, he was hilarious and always wanted to take me shopping. Armin on the other hand kept to himself most of the time, playing his video games or telling his brother to calm down. Jade was in the gardening club, he didn't go to Sweet Amoris but he was there often. Dajan was in charge of the Basket Ball Club, he was the same as Jade, didn't go to Sweet Amoris but spent a lot of time there. Then there was Leigh, he was Lysander's brother and I must say he was gorgeous. He owned the clothing store in town and I guess he was the one that influenced Lysander's style as he also wore Victorian style clothing. They just made him look even better but unfortunately he was going out with Rosalya.
They were all very excited for the party and got even more excited when I told them that the theme was glow in the dark. One of the girls was especially excited. Rosalya, Leigh's girl friend and the person I was probably the closest to, out of the girls. She had beautiful, long, silver hair and dressed in a dress that had bits of Victorian Era to it. I guessed that Leigh must have designed it for her. She was the nicest to me out of all the girls and was very excited. She insisted that she come over Saturday morning so that we can get ready together.
After the last lesson finished, I walked toward the Student Council room to find my sister. She spent most of her time in the Student council room these days, she was there with Nathaniel and Melody, although she probably wasn't too happy about Melody being there all the time. I opened the door and saw Nathaniel and my sister laughing and tickling each other, Melody was stood in the corner with her arms folded, she didn't look too happy. Nathaniel has been slowly changing my sister. She was becoming more focused at school, doing her work and getting high grades. She stopped being so dramatic and was calming down. The biggest change in her though was that she was happier. She came home smiling and we became closer and could talk to each other without turning it into an argument.
"Hi Saph. Hey Nathaniel. Just wanted to let you know that Lysander and Castiel are coming over to help with the preparations for tomorrow."
"Thanks Scar. I would love to help but Nathaniel invited me for dinner, so I won't be home untill late. I'll help next time though." She replied. I didn't mind that she wouldn't be there. Nathaniel was good to her, I wa happy that she found someone. Although they weren't going out, or so they said when I asked, Nathaniel took her out for dinner almost every day, he also spent a lot of time at our house and you could see that they would make such a cute couple. I knew that they were going to be a couple pretty soon, even if they didn't even know that yet.
I said Hi to Melody before leaving for the courtyard, Castiel and Lysander said that they were going to be waiting for me after school. Well Lysander said that, Castiel didn't speak to me much, apart from when we argued about silly things or made sarcastic comments. As soon as I stepped through the double doors I saw them standing near the tree where I first met them. I hadn't talked to them that much since we met, I spent most of my time with the girls. I walked closer and saw that Castiel was taking a cigarette out of a new packet. I sped up and got to them before he had time to light it. I took the cigarette from his mouth.
"What do you think you are doing?" He said standing straight up, from his casual leaning against the tree.
"There is no way that you are going to smoke." I replied simply.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?My mother?"
"No. I am not your mother. I'm still not going to let you ruin your life with that disgusting habit. I won't let you smoke when I'm there. I won't let you smoke around me."
"Well if it bothers you that much you can leave" He said trying to grab the cigarette out of my hand. I moved my hand to the side and when he took his hand back I snapped the cigarette.
"Now you owe me a cigarette." I then bent down to pick up the packet of cigarettes from the floor. It was full, apart from the cigarette that I just snapped. I looked tat Castiel disapprovingly. I then crushed the packet in my hands and threw it beyond the brick wall that stood behind the tree.
"Well I guess I owe you a whole packet now." I said flashing him a sarcastic smile and started walking away with Lysander.
"Ugh. You are so annoying, its unbelievable. You are worse than Amber."
"Stop complaining and we all know that's a lie. No one is more annoying than Amber. Now come on slow coach." I said back to him.
After a minute or so we reached my car, Lysander opened the door for me which I thought as adorable. He then walked round to the passenger seat and sat down. Castiel sat in the back on his own. I started my car and started pulling out of the parking space, being careful not to bump into the Peugeot that was parked extremely close. Then I heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the Peugeot.
"Watch out, don't hit my car. It's new." I heard the voice but could not see anyone. The a small figure appeared from the side of the Peugeot. It was a small dorky guy, he wore round glasses and a green jumper. He had green eyes and brown hair.
"Don't worry I'm being carefu- Wait... no, not you. How? When? What?" I could not believe it was him. I stopped the car staring at him in shock.
"Scar? Is that you? I found you. I thought I was wrong and you didn't move here."
"Who's that kid?" Castiel asked.
"I'm Ken. Scar's best friend." He smiled at Castiel.
"Scarlett, you didn't tell me you had such a lovely best friend." Castiel said, he was laughing to himself. He was using a sarcastic voice.
"That's because I don't. Me and Ken aren't even friends never mind best friends. Ken we are not friends, I thought I made that clear. I don't like you and I'd love for you to stop following me because it's creepy."
"B-but I moved here just for you. It took me ages to find the papers for your transfer. I found you though. I couldn't be in that school without you so I transferred as well. o that we could finally be together." He had tears in his eyes.
"Can you wait here for a minute guys?"
"Of course, I understand. You have some private business with Ken." Castiel winked at me.
Ugh.
I hate him.
Really hate him.
But why does he look so damn sexy when he makes that face?!
I stepped out of the car and grabbed Ken by the arm. I dragged him towards the gate and out of sight.
"Scar? Scar can you let go of my arm, I bruise really easily and you're hurting me."
"Ken. I'm sorry for maybe not being as nice as I should be to you, after all you make so much effort. I really want to like you as a friend I just can't. At the start I thought it was cute the way you bought me cookies and walked home behind me to check if I was alright but then it just got creepy, you became more of a stalker and now this? You need to understand that I've grown up and you should to, we aren't little children anymore Ken." I explained to him.
"I-I'm sorry Scar. I'll leave you alone, my dad wants me to go to a military school anyway. He thinks I shouldn't be so weak and let those girls bully me." He replied.
"It's alright Ken. Wait, what girls?"
"Amber and her two friends." He said crying. He suddenly started hugging me.
"Okay Ken, that's enough now. I have to go. Good luck at military school. I may not like you but I will miss you." I said stepping away from him and starting to walk back to the car.
I couldn't help but feel guilty. I know he said that he got bullied by Amber but I wasn't too nice to him either. He was always so nice to me. I didn't like him too much but I wasn't going to let Amber get away with bullying him. I had to repay him somehow. If it meant confronting Amber then so be it. I was lucky enough not to run into her since our little heated conversation on the street. I was soon back at my car, I stepped inside it and wiped the stray tear from my eyes. I really was going to miss Ken.
"Are you alright Scar?" Lysander asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Now let's get to my house so we can set up. It's getting quite late."
"Did you have fun with your 'best friend'?" Castiel asked laughing.
"I suggest you shut the fuck up, if you chose not to the I will do it myself!" I snapped back at him. I looked back at him, his face suddenly changed back to the serious Castiel. We drove in silence for most of the journey untill Castiel decided to speak up.
"Can you change this crap song. Seriously, haven't you got anything normal?"
"Normal? Oh you mean the type of stuff you listen to. Something that can burst your ear-drums? No. This is my car, I will listen to whatever I want." I said coldly. I was in a mood, I don't even know why. I guess part of it was Ken leaving because of Amber.
"Calm the fuck down. I only asked. No need to bite my head off about it."
"Do you two never stop?" Lysander interrupted. We both turned to face him.
"What do you mean?" Castiel asked
"I mean do you two never stop arguing, you always find something, in even in the most innocent of comments. You're worse than an old married couple." We stayed silent. You don't see Lysander like this a lot. Usually he just has a mysterious look on his face but this time he was annoyed.
We reached my house. Castiel wa the first to get out of the car and walked to my door. Lysander got out after him and like a perfect gentleman opened the door for me. I unlocked the large door and let them inside. We sat down and jus chilled. After about an hour or so I decided we should get some work done.
"Hey, we should probably start setting up. We don't want to be working untill midnight."
"Where's the stuff?" Castiel asked.
"It's in the guest room on my floor."
"I have no idea where that is."
"Come on I'll take you. Both of you." I said gesturing for them to follow. At the top of the stairs I unlocked the door that would lead them to my little world. For a while they just stood there staring at everything but then I grabbed Lysander's arm and pulled him towards the room with the supplies in.
"So here they are. We just have to decide what we're going to be needing."
"Well were definitely going to be needing the UV lights seeing as the theme is glow in the dark." He picked up the big set of lights and started walking back.
I was expecting Castiel to ask what he needed to carry but as I looked around the room I realised that he didn't follow us. I stepped out into the hallway. There was no one there. Then I saw a light from one of the rooms and as I got closer I got more angry. I slowly opened the door. I saw Castiel walking around and picking up random things.
"Who the fuck let you in here?" I asked angry at him.
"I let myself in, didn't think it would be a problem."
"Well it is a problem. It's a huge fucking problem. You just decide to wander off, letting yourself into wherever the fuck you please and think it's going to be okay. Well unless you haven't guessed it's not okay." I was starting to raise my voice.
"Hey! I'm trying to stay calm here. For Lysander's sake, he obviously doesn't like us fighting!"
"Right now I don't fucking care whether he likes it or not. Now put that down and get the fuck out! Before I decide to throw you out!" I lost it. Another angry outburst on my behalf.
I wouldn't have minded him in any other room, just not this one. This room had my most prized possessions in it. It had my memories, it told my life story. It wasn't baby books, baby videos or school videos. It was my guitars and my piano. There was also a few microphone's in there and my song-books. All around the room there were Cd's on the cabinets and vinyl record packaging stuck on the wall. Song lyrics written with markers. This was the only room on my floor that I bothered decorating and sorting out. Now he was in it, it felt like he was intruding on my life. My life that I wanted to keep private and away from everyone. Then he did the wost thing that he could have. He picked up one of the few photos in the room. It was a photo of me and my grandpapa. He had the most influence on my life, my gramma was close second. He was more of a father to me than my real dad will ever be. He died just over 3 years ago. I was still learning to cope with it. I was so close to him, he was always there for me and with me and then one day he just wasn't. He was gone from my life. That's why I lost my temper sometimes. I had no one to help me deal with all the anger inside. I was angry at the fact that my grandpapa was took from me without any warning. Tears started to pour down my face at the thought of him.
"Who's this?" Castiel asked. I was so angry at him, I walked over and snatched the picture from his hands then turned and slapped him across the face.
"I told you to fucking get out. So get out NOW!" I screamed at him.
His face filled with concern as he slowly reached the door. I was looking down at the picture, tears dropping on the dust-covered glass. I heard the door shut. Just when I thought he was finally going to leave, letting me cry on my own, reminiscing about my grandpapa, I dropped to the floor crying. Then I realised he was still in the room. I could feel the floor bending as he walked back to me. I wanted to scream at him again but I knew that if I tried nothing would come out of my throat. My sobs were the only sound that my throat let me make. I fully expected him to scream back at me, make some sarcastic comment or even hit me back but I didn't expect him to help me get up at all.
"I'm sorry." He said pulling me into a hug.
"I really am. I mean it." He said after I kept quiet. I knew he did, that's why I hugged him back. He was so warm and so...hugable.
"I would have expected anything from you but this." I finally replied, letting out a little giggle.
"Most people do."
"You let people think that you are this hard, cold guy but you're not. This just proves it."
"So what if I do? I want to keep it that way, so any word of this to anyone including Lysander and your sister and I will make your life hell." He replied now back to his usual self. I stepped away from him and made my way for the door.
"As if you don't already..."
