~Hazel~
I came back from school with bus, when I got home neither Harry nor my mom were at home, that means... I have the whole house to myself whoo...hoo!!! I pulled my cloth showered, and since I have homework, I jumped on my favourite couch and was about to watch my favorite show when a message popped on my phone, it was Penelope.
Pen: Come to Wilson's toy shop now.
Not when I just started enjoying my freedom.
Me: Why?!!
Pen: It's urgent, JUST COME!!!
Okay it seems pretty urgent.
I put on my shoes, and jacket and left the house and met Penelope in front of the toy shop.
"Why did you call me here?" I asked.
"I really need your help". She said.
"Why couldn't you ask Gianni or Julie for help, I was really busy at home". I said (Busy with myself).
"They are both here". She said.
"Where?" I asked looking around for them.
"They are inside the shop". Penelope said.
I looked towards the shop and saw Gianni and Julie waving at me from inside.
"What are they doing in there, isn't the shop locked?" I asked.
"You see, that's the reason I called you, to help them out". Penelope said.
"Oh, you should have said that earlier"
I kind of have a skill in handling all type of locks, Harry calls it my superpower.
"So how did they get inside the shop?" I asked.
"Well, were here yesterday to get a toy for Gianni's cousin and Julie left her book here so we came to get it, but when we got here we heard that Mrs. Wilson is out of town and she kept someone in charge who won't allow us into the store because we are no longer kids". Penelope paused to look at me for a while, I think she's checking to see if I'm paying attention to what she just said, yep I am.
" That's so not fair". I said, so she would know I was listening attentively to her.
"Yeah I know right, he left the shop for awhile without locking it, Gianni and Julie sneaked in the shop, I think he realized his mistake because he came back and locked the shop with them inside". Penelope explained.
"How unlucky". I said I walked towards the locked shop and took a pin from my jacket and handled the lock till it was unlocked and then I opened the door.
"Gosh, you're a life saver". Gianni said as she came out of the shop and hugged me.
"I know-". Suddenly an alarm went on, it was so loud that it can be heard from miles away, I quickly locked the shop back.
"Hey kids, that's trespassing". We heard someone say.
I turned to see who it was, oh no... it was a security guard.
"Guys, run". I said as we began to run and the security guard chased after us, it was a hot chase. My friends ran ahead of me.
"Wait for me guys". I said panting heavily, but I don't think they heard me because they kept on running without looking back.
Gosh, I'm so tired, I started feeling dizzy and began to slow down. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm.
"Ahh!!!" I screamed.
I felt the person's hand coming to my mouth to shut me up, as I was pulled down an alley, it's final... I was caught and there is no where to run to and worse of all my friends who led me to this mess have abandoned me. I tried to wiggle out of the person's grip, but the person was just too strong, we got to the other side of the ally and the person released me.
I turned and had a good look at the person... WHAT THE HELL?!!
"Would you mind closing your mouth, there is something called flies". The person said, until then I didn't realize that my mouth was open.
"How dare you scare me like that?" I asked with gritted teeth.
"I was only trying to help". He smirked.
"Aren't you the new kid at Westhampton High?" I asked as I folded my arms across my chest.
"Yep, do I know you?" He asked.
This punk... he sat next to me in English class, how can he not remember that.
"Ash... whatever your name is, how can you not remember who sat beside you for your first class at Westhampton?" I asked really disappointed.
"Gosh, I'm so sorry, you see I met a lot of people today and I can't even remember 50% of the people, it's also not my fault that Luke happens to my friend and that I have a charming personality". He said.
I rolled my eyes to his last statement.
"How come I never got to know your name?" He asked
"Because you never asked, by the way I don't give out my name to strangers". I said.
"Hey Cookie, we attend the same school so we are not strangers".
"Yeah, says the guy that forgot who sat beside him for his first class at Westhampton". I said as I tried to avoid the fact that he called me 'Cookie'.
"Hey I said I was sorry okay, just tell me your name Cookie". He said.
Cookie? What's with him and cookie, do I look sweet.
"Hey stop calling me that". I said.
"Then tell me your name". He said.
"You've got to earn it Ash". I said
Then we spotted the security guard heading our direction.
"Doesn't he ever get tired". I said mostly to myself.
"No, as long as he doing his job and he gets paid for it, by the way what did you do rob a bank?" He asked.
"No... gosh, I went broke into a shop". I said as he pulled me with him behind a trash can.
"What's the difference between that and robbing a bank?" He asked.
"That I didn't steal money". I said glaring at him.
"Me likee". He said smirking.
"Come on". He said as he pulled me up and we walked towards a car.
OMG... is this really a lambo?
I looked and him, then the car and then back at him.
"You own the lambo?" I asked.
"Yep, get in let me drive you home". He said.
"Drive me in that?" I said pointing at the car.
Oh no... I can't get into this car, I'm gonna damage it, it's my dream car, I'm gonna unconsciously touch somethings.
"Yep, something wrong?" He asked.
"Oh no worries, my house ain't far from here". I said.
"Lemme just give you a ride"
"Why are you being nice to me?" I asked glaring at him.
Not that I'm not grateful, but when guys like him are this nice they want something back in return, that which I can't give out easily.
"We are classmates Cookie, you deserve to be treated nicely". He said.
"Thanks", I smiled and began to walk home.
"Didn't get your name, Cookie". He called.
"You've got to earn it". I said without looking back.
I guess he won't remember me by tomorrow, like he forgot I sat beside him in English class.
I jogged home and opened the door to meet my mom looking worried.
"I'm home". I announced.
"Where have you been?" Mom asked.
"With my friends". I said pulling my shoes off.
"It's almost seven, have you done your assignment?" She asked.
"I wasn't given any assignment". I said as I walked to the kitchen to get a snack to eat, I opened the fridge to find an orange juice and cookies. I smiled when I looked at the cookies... Ash.
"Hazel you need to have a curfew". Mom said suddenly, I thought she was done talking.
"Mom I'm seventeen, I ain't a kid anymore". I said.
"Well, you need the curfew so you can spend the rest of your time studying, I don't wanna pay your tuition fees in vain, I've spent a lot on your drugs already". She said.
I hate when she talks like this.
"Then take out of my allowance". I said.
"But it's for your college". She said softly.
For college?!! Oh God.
" I AM DYING, I CAN'T LIVE TILL COLLEGE, USE THE MONEY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HOW ALL THIS IS MY FAULT, I'M TRYING MY BEST, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS, YOU COULD HAVENOT GIVENBIRTH TO ME". I yelled.
"I never said it was your fault". She said calmly.
"I need to sleep". I said as I took the snacks walked past Harry and stomped into my room locking the door behind me.
Why not just take my life God?
I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it, I might seem fine but deep inside I hate my life.
