Chereads / A SHOT IN THE DARK / Chapter 4 - SANDWICHES

Chapter 4 - SANDWICHES

So I sulk and stare back at the at least dozen eyes of a million people watching me. Skai is there too. So I do another something I would do at such a situation. Run!

I quickly turn around and dash for the door handle of the room I was headed for and to my luck the door won't barge. And then I hear a somebody say something in the lines of, 'opens outside '  and I quickly pull the door in the process hitting my forehead with it as I had used a lot more force than necessary.

And I see it written in bold letters on the handle, ' pull to open ' Internally screaming I rush in only to realize it is a closet and not a bathroom like I had assumed because it had a big brown wooden door with a little clear glass at it's top so I assumed it was a classic old bathroom door. Looking back at the situation at hand I start to wonder why I even concluded that and I just want to hit my head on some wall. Repeatedly. I take a deep breath and close my eyes then exhale.

Whichever side of the bed I woke up of today must not be used tomorrow or just any day. I look around me and see the high walls in white. Wow. Walls are smooth. Wow. There's mounted racks, on the left shoes, on the right supplies like detergents and stuff. And it's only now I realize the shoes weren't the clean kind.

But that's not what caught my attention, they were many pairs of shoes and real huge ones of I think size eleven. They also looked freshly dirty if that makes sense. Who wears that many shoes just to dirty them and keep them in the closet? Beats me. But it's non of my business...

"Are you okay in there, sweetie? " I hear Mitch, I think,  call from outside.  Could never mistake the high pitched tenor voice. Could I? But... Sweetie!

Couldn't be me, could it? But I open the door and peek outside anyway. Little did I know I had the whole battalion behind the door listening in one on top of the other and the force of opening door caused them to topple over . I snicker covering my mouth with one hand. I don't know why I have a lot of energy  and I put a lot of it in every thing . Slowly they start getting up every one mumbling something I couldn't care to get.

" Who is this? And why is she acting all weird? " Some girl who resembles Skai a great deal asks in a sweet honey butter voice which I doubt she is.

Same dark eyes, dark hair, pink full lips, olive skin. Only difference is Skai has a square manly jaw, is taller and muscular and... You know every other thing a man has... I no longer want to talk about this.

"Be nice Izzy !" Another guy warns. My eyes shift to him. Yum! Brown hair, brown eyes, as tall as Skai and just as muscular with a 'I'm a sweetheart ' smile playing on his lips.

So I have been staring a lot because now my subconscious is screaming at me. Insults.

Like come on, is insults all you know! And shut up cause you are in my head.

Whose head though?! I am the sane you, stupid!

I don't need sanity to appreciate handsome guys.

Well they all are and not yours, deal with it.

Hey, hey, hey, back up a little, when did I say they are mine?

You are wishing it. Right now.

"Shut up! " I face palm realizing I yell out loud.

But then there's silence as if people had been talking and now are quiet.

"Well she's loud! " Izzy says looking puzzled and slightly annoyed.

I awkwardly lift my right hand and wave slightly smiling forcefully. And let's say five of the seven population is smiling back at me, genuinely. So I curl my lips in the way I know would pay back theirs. Yeah there it is I say to self widening it as I watch them widen theirs .Yap I am never getting used to that reaction. At the same time not wanting it as I rarely smile.

I drop my smile and walk away before being dragged away into... The kitchen wow. Everything is in gold and white. Wow. A chandelier. Wow. The stove is at the center of the room on both sides extended providing room for working surface and eating surface. High stools surrounding the place and on the sides...

" Noooo! " Someone screams rudely interrupting my day dream .

"What? I was weighing pros and con's of certain things I would have borrowed from this kitchen. " I shouted exasperated.

But I quickly recover from that and land into another fit of rage, a serious one this time, when I see the nutella jar empty, a couple of sandwiches on a plate besides it and a guy I hadn't seen before standing there eating a sandwich staring at me. He is Asian American. He looks hot too but now is not the time. I open and close my mouth intending to say something but nothing comes out. I am pretty sure steam is coming out of my ears and nose right now from the anger I feel. Yeah, right.

"So I will just be over there, " I say pointing at a stool near the sandwiches plate .

I rushed to the sandwiches and started munching on the snacks, Very fast. Like very first! Very girl like too. Because everyone likes a girl who could eat like a pig am I right? Don't answer that please! My poor heart won't take it.

So there I was sitting between Skai and Mitch  finishing the last sandwiches from the plate. Directly in front of me was Izzy and the other girl in the room. Two boys in each of their sides. Total of nine, murdering the poor sandwiches. Well only seven of us anyway. I will only say they were very delicious.
