"Hi you," Christopher says, his voice soft, steady but a little shaky.
"What do you want?" I contrast his soft voice; he cannot come into my own room and still treat me like trash. "That's no way to greet a friend."
"Friend, my foot; are you shitting me right now?"
"Look, I am sorry about yesterday; I didn't mean to be a dick; that's how things go around here, to be honest, I didn't know you are not used to it."
"LOL, sorry enough to tell those sorry asses at school about everything? Dude, you are really a dick," I say in a serious tone, and he bows his head, pretending to be sorry. That's messed up, man. "Hey, Bella, yeah, a dick is what I am; I am sorry about that too... I heard about it."
"Good for you; satisfied? Are you happy now?"
"Don't be like that, Bella! I only told them hoping they would be nice to you at least."
"Dude, you are really out of your mind, did I beg you for fucking pity, do I look pathetic to you?"
"Fuck Bella, I thought you needed girls,"
"You know what, I am okay with Tessa and guess what it's cool for real, you came to apologize? Yeah, I get that, now get the hell out of my room,"
"Tessa? Look bella, if I didn't care about you I won't be here for real," He says, his voice low and I cannot deny his he sounded very sorry this time. "I know you are mad, you have every right to be mad," he says now.
"I am not mad,"
"How can you not be, Bella? You have so many things to be mad about, yes I am a dick I agree and I may not know how hard it's been for you but I know right now, how messed up my life will be without Arya, and I did not mean to pity you, I just wasn't sure how I could show you my support, really in fact can I get you a knife?"
He must be really out of his mind, he called his mom by her name, and right now, he is asking if I need a knife. Lunatic!
"What for?" I ask.
"You should just stab me as many times as your anger gets eased," he says.
"Well, prison doesn't serve my best meal, and considering you are the only child, really, Na," I reply.
"Some do though, I heard there is one downtown that people deliberately commit crimes just to go there," he says.
"That's crazy, I am shook," I say.
"Food is top-notch, and the environment is fire," he says.
"Have you ever, by any chance, served a sentence there?" I ask.
"Yikes, that's a horrible idea," he says.
"I bet, it's for celebrities and first-class citizens," I say.
"A cell is a cell, regardless, I don't have to get the knife, do I?" he asks.
From the new tea, I may reconsider, you know when Tessa told me to listen to what the girls were saying in the other toilet...
"Tessa?" He cuts in, his eyes narrowing.
"You have mentioned her name for the second time, you don't hallucinate, do you?" he asks.
Shit.... Did I really say Tessa?
"Uh, no, no, no, my bestie's name is Tessa too, I told her some salty squad were in the next toilet, so she told me to eavesdrop," I lie. That lie was smooth, he should believe that.
"Oh, you know how you stood up for yourself was attractive, my homies thought it was sexy though," he says.
"Simps... Nut head, aren't you gonna study?" I ask.
"Ah, I don't need that, I am good at trigonometry" He rubs his hair as he brags. Dude is too full of himself.
"You are? I literally asked a dead girl for help,..." I say. Oh man, I am really fucked.
"Wait, what? Did you say dead?" His eyes widens with curiosity. Now, I am fucked.
"Dead.." I stammer.
"No, it's a nickname of someone I just met," I lie again. "Please, believe,", I say in my head.
"You met someone? I am impressed!" he says.
"Go away, what are you all of a sudden? Mr. High up?" I ask.
"Periodt." He says.
"Shut the fuck up." I squeeze my face.
"Would be nice to meet your dead-girl, hope she isn't spooky?" He says, and Tessa smiles behind him; I am sure he doesn't want to. Her pretty face glows up. Slaying in death.
"Nah, but you don't want to, trust me," I say smiling to her, she smiles back ..... Sweet soul.
No, he is crazy, but Tessa, my sister, is out of this world. World, please remember her; she still is, TESSA ZOE NORMAN. And that she will continue to be even after her spirit disappears. My chest tightens all of a sudden, She didnot deserve to die, none of them did.
I will tell you what happened.....
