My jaw clenched my eyes burned a fiery green; I felt my sisters hand on my wrist.
"I've missed you so much! You dropped off the face of the earth! We're supposed to be planning for the wedding!" Her shrill voice made me want to rip out my copper hair. So Kyoya didn't cut off the wedding, I felt a pang in my heart. She squished her ass into the booth that already had no room.
"Oh, there two of you, like one wasn't bad enough." I felt Hayley's grip tighten around my wrist, my eyes blazed, but I smirked.
"God made coke, god made pepsi, god made me oh so sexy, god made river, god made lakes, god made you, well... we all make mistakes." I said in a sing song voice my face inched closer to hers daringly.
"I believe you have it backwards, who would date you?" She scrunched her nose.
"Well there is my boyfriend, my ex who I broke up with, the other ex, another one, so yah allot of people. But the only way you can get love is if your daddy buys it." I smirked at her.
"Oh yah, and who's your boyfriend." The look on her face read disbelief.
"I believe you know him, it's Mr. Kyoya Ootori." I kept my smirk on my face.
"That's a lie, because he's taken by ME." She glared darkly at me. I kept my smirk and let my free hand curl a piece of Kyoya's dark hair.
"Take your hand off of him." She growled at me.
"Fine, I'll get my hand off but not my lips." I leaned and pecked Kyoya on the cheek.
"BITCH!" She screamed launching herself over the booth and grabbed me by the neck, I completely flew off my twins lap and we landed on the floor.
"Stop!" Hayley screamed. Like hell I was going to stop, this bitch wants to fight, I will. We were rolling on the floor in a flurry of fist. My nails flew across her face, she yanked at my hair, I kicked her in the jaw and she punched me, I threw myself off of the ground, my eyes were pitch black, I grabbed her arm twisting it flipping her over my back. She grabbed my ankle tripping me and hit me in a flurry of slaps and kicks from her heels. Eventually Kyoya and Tamaki pulled her away, and Hayley, Diego, Maggie, Hunny, Mori, and Madison pulled me off while we were struggling to get back to fighting.
"Your face looks much better like that." She sneered at me, I only had a few small cuts and my lip was busted. She had a whole bunch of cuts marks and her nose was bleeding, hopefully broken. Basically her whole face was bleeding.
"I could say the same thing, but it would be a lie since you never look good." I sneered back; I grabbed my new sharp scissors from Diego and raised it like I was going to stab her. Bitch I was going to fucking kill the skank.
"Heeey!" They said taking the scissors.
"Let the bitch try." She sneered.
"She approved it." I said grabbing two of the three pairs of scissors twirling them, my arm was raised and I grabbed the handle about to stab her, I brought the scissor down and felt myself tackled, I swung my scissor and felt it hit who tackled me, and threw the other one hitting her in the stomach smirking when it drew blood. When I saw who I cut I instantly felt regret but my eyes stayed the same. Kyoya, blood ran down his arm.
"What the hell? Why'd you get in the way!?" I shouted at him and he had me pinned under him.
"Calm down." His eyes bored into mine.
"Hell no, bitch wants to fight I will now get off of me!" I shouted at him struggling.
"Calm down." He repeated.
"Make me!" I shouted if I could, I'd kill this bastard. In reply he crashed him lips on mine, I jerked my head away.
"Get the hell off of me!" I shouted him.
"Are you going to stop acting like a homicidal five year old?" He retorted.
"Funny, my art teacher called me the same thing. And hell to the mother effin' no." I hissed trying to push him off.
"We should probably get going." The twins said when they noticed people staring. We all left, well Kyoya had me thrown over him shoulder while I kicked. I got out of his grip and walked towards the bitch.
"You aren't even worth my time." I snorted.
"Whatever, I'm out of here." She huffed stomping away.
"I should do that more often. It's so fun to taunt her." I said looking away.
"Kristen! Why would you do that! Why is it necessary to fight?!" Hayley yelled at me, the others stepped back and watched.
"What the hell did you expect me to do?" I answered. She grabbed my face making me look at her.
"Why would you taunt Chiyoko if you knew she would fight back?! Why didn't actually scratch that, why can't you stay quiet?!" She shouts and I push her hands away.
"Sure, go take her side! If you wanted me to stay quiet, well I'm sorry. That isn't me, that sure as hell ain't the way dad brought me up." I always was a daddy's girl, fighting, hiking, I could go from lipstick and mascara to mud in 3 seconds flat. "He always told me to fight back, and I ain't nothing but a damn fighter." I said, her eyes seemed to harden.
"Then dad brought you up wrong." She whispered. I felt my eyes widen, I forced my eyes to stay black but they flashed to a violet blue. It was one thing for almost everybody to tell me that, it was a completely different thing for my own sister to tell me that. I choked back on a sob and took off running down the street.
We watched at Kristen took off running, Hayley stepped back and tears streaked down her face.
"I made her run away again! I'm a terrible sister." She hid her face in her hands crying.
"Again?" Everyone asked.
"We got into a huge fight a year or two ago and she ran off, we didn't see her for a few weeks.
"She should be fine, if she lasted a few weeks alone she should be fine." Kyoya pushed up his glasses and Hayley looked up her chocolate eyes sharp.
"You sick mother fucking bastard! She doesn't know her way around her! She could get lost, or kidnapped, or mugged!" Hayley shouted at him.
"She's a tough girl, she won't get kidnapped, if she get's mugged she kicks ass, and if she gets lost she has her cell and will wonder her way back." A glare hid Kyoya's eyes.
"You sick bastard." Hayley hissed.
"You're the one who made her run." Kyoya said his eyes smooth. A sharp crack sent his glasses flying.
"I know what I said was wrong and I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to worry and I'm sure as hell am going to find her." Hayley hissed storming off.
I ran as fast as I could, tears fell from my eyes. I storm into some woods, the sound of leafs crunch under my combat boots. I see a stream and stop my running deep in the woods; I took off my boots and walked against a few flat stones sitting down on a flat stone, letting my feet rest in the shallow cool water. I brush off the tears in my face. I'm Kristen, I don't cry. Crying is a sign of weakness, I'm Kristen, I don't cry, I don't cry. I do not cry. I said staring at still water. I took a deep breath calming down. I stripped from my clothes to my underwear; a thick scar ran down my back, climbing up the rocks I dived down the waterfall into the water. The cool water wrapped around me, my copper hair flowed around me. I stayed under for a bit before coming up for air. I swam around for maybe half an hour before getting out, it was towards sunset. I pulled my dress on leaving my boots and tights off. I glance at my phone and saw it was 6:32pm. Like hell I was going back there, too bad I don't have my scissors.
Most people would run back to where they came from but I liked to camp, sleep in the woods. My parents never minded if I told them, I'd go for the weekend, during breaks, and stay in the woods in the evening. My grandparents use to live where there weren't many neighbors and deep woods fun to go hiking around, finding and making new trails, finding the wild vegetables, fruits, and berries. We kept a book and we would bring the plant in, my grandma would draw it, we'd find out what it was and kept a section, the first section was berries, then vegetables like wild unions and carrots, then we had fruits, apples, and cherries and by each plant was when they were in season and what home remedies they could make or we could eat. But we aren't in New Jersey; this is Japan a whole new terrain. After the fruits we had plants like ivy, wheat, different trees, which had the best sap. My grandparents were old school but that life always seemed better than the one I had.
I walked around the woods as the sun was setting, shelter now, food later. I laced up my boots and begun to scout the land. I climbed over a fallen oak tree and past a boulder, I walked down a hill, the trees were thick and scattered, bushes and shrubs everywhere reminded me of home. I see some berries in a bush, I walk towards the bush, the berries were along thin branches, and were about the size of a blueberry, the berries were red and looked allot like blueberries except for the color, I recognized them as red huckleberries. I grabbed a berry and popped it in my mouth, the bittersweet taste burst in my mouth making me smile. I grabbed a small branch full of berries and twirled it around, now how was I going to store these, at the moment I needed my hands free. A smirk on my lips and I put the end of the branch in my sash where I'd normally keep my scissors. Another branch or two and I was off. I walked through the woods, it felt like I was walking along hidden trails, ones that only I could navigate; as silly as that sounds; ever since I was little. I walked by a tree, my boot snagged a root sending my tumbling down the steep rocky hill, rocks dug into my side and back as I fell, not stopping until I was at the bottom. Pebbles and twigs littered by clothes, stains from the berries on my dress.
"Damn it." I hissed pulling out the twig, glaring at the red stains that marked my dress. I grab my phone out of my bra, it was okay, the 'indestructible' case saved it. I placed the phone back in my bra and stared at the tall grass. I heard rustling in the grass startling me fallowed by soft whining. I ran through the grass and the whining got louder until I saw a dog tied to a peg. It was a bluetick coonhound, probably a mix of grey hound in there. The dog was bouncing around, her tail wagging barking. I let out my hand to let her sniff and she licked my hand. I crouched beside the beautiful, beautiful (yes so beautiful I had to type it twice) and my fingers begun to work at the note looped around her neck tightly. The dog panted trying to nuzzle her head under my arm, her nose was dry compared to a normal dogs wet nose. Her fur was slightly matted and looked a bit too skinny, damn it, if I hadn't fallen I could've given her the berries. I finally untied the knot and she jumped up on me. I laughed as she knocked me over. I got back up and we got out of the grass, she got still, she crept low to the ground and begun to take a few low steps before crouching lower; she took off running in fast long strides pouncing onto a rabbit biting into it snapping the neck. She walked up to me the rabbit in her jaws, she looked hungry.
"You can chow down," I said, she stared at me and begun to eat the rabbit hungrily. I led her back to the stream where she drank greedily, poor baby. I needed to give her a name, I decided on naming her Boo-Radley, or Boo for short. She was sniffing around most likely for food while I was looking around for somewhere to sleep. I wandered around not wanting to go too far from the water and found a ditch with trees all around, though the ditch was even and deeper than most.
"Boo!" I shouted and the dog came running to me, a duck in her jaw. "Good girl." I praised the dog smiling. I grabbed as much dry wood as I could, I took a thick piece and laid it across like a bride. I laid a few more like that and leaned a few down towards the back making the shelter large enough for the two of us, I laid dry leaves against the wood then went over it with muddy leaves and sticks to go cover any holes. We got in and I looked around happily than frowned, we couldn't put a fire in here.
I got out and Boo-Radley fallowed. I tore apart the hut and grabbed the large sticks that made up most of it, I found three trees and smirked. I placed the sticks a bit off the ground and made what looked like a raft, I finished tying it up with some ivy vines and smirked. I hopped up with Boo-Radley and placed soft leaves and grass where we were sleeping. I curled up next to Boo sleeping lightly knowing we'd need a better spot to sleep tomorrow.
I woke up to the beautiful morning light; Boo was chasing something around quickly. I got off the bed/raft and walked to the water. I pulled a small pool of water in my hands and washed over my face, almost instantly washing off the sadness I felt. I grabbed some wood and started a small fire; Boo dragged a few fish in her jaws.
"Good job baby." I said, I pierced two dead fish on a sharp pointy stick and begun to roast it on the silver meat until it was light-ish brown with a few streaks of black on it. I toss one fish to Boo-Radley and eat the other one while roasting the last 3. I ate one more while I gave Boo the other two, trying to get her weight up. After we ate, I doused the fire and we took off, Boo walked a little ahead of me, getting distracted easily so I would have to pull her attention back with a whistle. She was only maybe a year old, practically a puppy. We walked for a bit before we stopped to rest, Boo was jumping around chasing a butterfly. I sat with my legs crossed, the sun on my face, my silver violet flecked eyes slowly drifted into sleep, Boo curled up next to me, panting quietly.
