Chapter 4
The next day seemed to take forever even for a Saturday. I was surprised to find out that it didn't matter when I got back, just as long as I did or left a note.
I learned my new responsibilities which were to vacuum the living room on Wednesdays, unload the dishwasher Tuesday and Thursday, make dinner Mondays, and to take the my dog, Sophie, to the bathroom when needed. There were so many orphans that these were the only things open.
I couldn't help but fall asleep after lunch, waking up at 5 o'clock. Might as well take a bath. I thought, getting up.
After a bath, shaving, brushing my teeth, drying my hair, and putting on my black eyeliner and deep red lipgloss, I went in my room and picked out my favorite dress to wear. It was one that my mother had asked to have passed down to me before dying in the hospital from a drive by shooting.
It was a light, pacific blue two piece with the top being tied around the neck then a tight, scrunchy material, and the bottom was a sort of fluffy skirt that came down to just above my knees, and was the same color.
After slipping on the dress, I decided to put my hair into a ponytail since it was stick-straight. When I finished, I checked the clock-seven fifteen. Almost time to go. I grabbed my deep purple handbag, and told Anne, one of the counselors, where I was going, then I was out the door.
I heard the familiar yells of four boys on noisy motorbikes coming closer just as I had closed the door. My palms got slightly sweaty as I saw Marko riding closest to me, meaning I would ride with him.
"Hey, you're early!" I called to them, nimbly jumping off the front porch.
"You are too!" David called.
"Good point."
"I like the dress, Kitty, it's a good color on you." Marko said, making me blush.
"You too!" I giggled teasingly. He rolled his eyes and tried to hide a grin.
I jumped on Marko's bike, and the same strange rush came to me, causing me to wonder why I only got this rush of feeling around him. I wondered if it was from having a crush on him, but then realized I had rode with the same sensation before I started liking him.
"We're here!" He called over his shoulder. I could see the bright lights and shops coming into view, but my focus was all on Marko tonight. I was going to flirt my ass off and see what his reaction was.
As we pulled into their parking spot, he got off his bike and gave me his hand to help me down, which I took, then 'fell' into him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and swung me by the waist and hand around in three big circles, causing us both to blush even more and to giggle.
We walked around, and I saw a shop I hadn't noticed yesterday- a comic book shop! I was such a nerd, so I parted with the group, and headed on in. When I walked in, I saw a stack of Superman comics, which drew my attention. I walked over to it and checked the prices, which were a little lower than back home in Alabama. Looking up from the shelf of Superman, I noticed two boys about my age staring me down causing an uneasy shiver down my spine.
"You like Superman?" Said the darker haired of the two as they both walked over to me. They looked like brothers, the other looking maybe my age while the one who had just spoken looked about fourteen.
"Yeah, my favorite." I said, walking away and browsing a row of horror comics including a wide variety of vampire comics.
"I bet you would like this one." Said the other brother. He was slightly taller than the younger guy, but I only came up to his eyes. I looked down at the comic he had recommended-Vampires Everywhere! the cover read.
"No thanks, I'm looking for something new along the lines of superheroes." I said, turning and walking to another shelf.
"You'll like this, trust me." Said the older guy.
"No, I don't want that." I said, not even turning to face him.
"It's free, trust me, it could save your life."He said, grabbing my hand and forcing the comic into my grasp.
"What ever. Why is the a phone number on the back?" I said, hoping they weren't expecting me to have a crush on either of them. It wasn't because they weren't good-looking, just that I knew I liked Marko.
"In case you need our help." Said the younger guy.
"Or if you just want to talk, just ask for Edgar or Alan Frog." Said the older guy gesturing at himself, then his brother.
"Um, okay...thanks." I said blushing as Edgar smiled at me.
I rushed out of the store, walking as fast as I could without it being considered running. I walked around before finally finding the boys I wanted to talk to. As soon as I walked up and tapped on his shoulder from behind, Marko turned and wrapped me up in a hug, lifting me off my feet, which wasn't that hard considering I only weighed about 95 pounds.
It was the best hug ever, and I wrapped my arms around his neck in reply.
"Okay, you can let me down now, Marko." I said, wiggling around trying to get down.
"Aw, come on, give me some loving!" He said, jokingly swinging me around.
"Help! Paul!" I called, laughing my head off. I knew it would be a mistake to call Paul the second it came out of my mouth. He came over and started tickling my stomach while Marko held me up to his height, which meant I was a foot off the ground. I kicked backwards towards Paul, causing me to drop Vampires Everywhere!.
"All right you three, stop cutting up. What's this Kitty?" Said David, picking up the comic.
"Some weird guys about my age gave it to me in the comic shop." I replied truthfully, finally being put down.
"Well, do we need to go teach them a lesson?" Said Dwayne, his facing growing serious once again.
"No, it's all right, its not like Joey." I assured them, wincing at the name of my crazy ex-boyfriend.
"Good. Well, let's go get some tickets then okay?" Said Marko, flashing a quick look of straight up hatred towards the comic shop where Edgar and Alan Frog were probably watching me through the window.
It wasn't long until I went from a small crush on Marko to absolutely, undoubtedly in love with him. I rode the we shared a bumper car together in a war between us, David and Paul, and Dwayne. We also shared a bag of popcorn and I kissed him on the cheek for defending me against a joking Paul. We all learned about each other, making us a definite friend group.
"So, Kitty, which one of us do you like the most?" asked Paul, causing me to nearly swallow my toothpick in surprise.
"What?" I said, shocked that he had asked me that.
"Not like that! I mean which one of us is your best friend?" He said. I should have kept my mouth shut about not having any other friend group. I realized.
"Oh, um, Marko I guess. David and Dwayne are too serious and quiet, and you annoy me." I said, grinning.
"Ha to the ha!" Marko said a little too loudly in my left ear. I grinned as he put his arm around my shoulders.
"Let me out, I'm getting away from you weirdos." I said, playfully pushing Marko and Paul, who were sitting on either side of me in the booth. That's when I saw him. Joey walked right in the café, looking around.
"Shit!" I whispered, turning my head towards the wall and Marko, trying to cover my face with my hair, which I had let down earlier.
"What's wrong?" Said David, looking truly worried.
"Kitty? Is that you?" Joey called across the room. We were the only six people in right now because the manager had stepped out for a few minutes.
"Hi Joey. Wasn't expecting to see you here." I said, disappointed, realizing he had seen my vibrant hair swishing.
"Ditto, baby!" He said, ruffling my hair across Paul's face.
"Stop it," I said, fixing my hair, "Just leave me alone Joey."
"Hey, I don't take 'no' for an answer, baby."
"Too damn bad." I said, hearing the new silence surrounding café now that the boys knew who this was.
"For you maybe, your coming with me!" Joey stated, grabbing my wrist and roughly drug me across Paul's lap and into the floor.
"Let go!" I yelled, grabbing on to the leg of the booth bench. All of the guys jumped up to help me.
"No bitch!" He screamed, kicking my head. I heard a loud crack and two screams, and felt a shock of pain go through my whole body. Everything went blurry and sounded like everything was coming through a tunnel.
I heard Marko call my name, and felt the sensation of having my head lifted by a hand. That's all I remembered, then, everything went black.
Hope ya'll are excited! Working on Chapter 5 now, got some fans...YAY! :) Please review and support love ya'll! :)
