Hope and Rain - Chapter 3

When Lex said yes I had to keep from squealing. I nodded and got on my skateboard quietly. When I got out of ear shot, though, I did a spin on my skateboard and screamed happily. Then got back on my skateboard and rode home to get ready.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When I was finally home I went inside and got some soccer shorts on but kept everything else the same. I sat in my seat in front of the television and turned on the sports channel, soccer was surprisingly on so I watched for a while sense practice wasn't until about Six P.M. I decided to bring down my laptop to the seat and so I went upstairs to get it and ran back downstairs with it. I booted it up and realized Lex still hadn't E-mailed me, I was fine with it now that he was coming to practice but I thought he would…. I still wondered who his crush was so I closed my computer and switched the channel to the news. The latest the election for senate and I was totally bored with that so I quickly turned it off and packed my lunch for tomorrow, tomorrow was Friday and that's when I remembered I had my history project due tomorrow, when I packed my baloney sandwich and ran to my computer to type up some mumbo jumbo about the Cherokee Indians, and copied and pasted some facts. When I was done with the writing I printed it out and posted it on a piece of construction paper. By the time I was done it was time to go to Millie's practice so I walked out the door and walked to the field around my neighborhood. On my way I saw Lex and joined up with him "hey Lex" I said when I walked up to him he was wearing a soccer shirt and shorts and didn't look half bad but I kept that to myself and we ended up walking in silence until we saw Millie
"HEY GUYS! OVER HERE!" she shouted
Lex and I looked at each other and laughed before running into the fields and sitting on the bleachers after saying hello to Millie. I decided to look at Lex and ask him again "Please tell me your crush! I thought we were best friends, that you'd tell me everything."
Lex sighed "It's way to embarrassing,"
"I won't freak out or laugh"
He looked at me "It's, well it's….. No I won't tell you"
I frowned and turned away from him to watch Millie practice. She was actually pretty good so I watched her and tried to forget about Lex… of course that didn't work very well so I turned to him with puppy dog eyes
"I'll tell you Saturday" he told me. I nodded, totally forgetting that was the day of my robbery. I turned back to Millie and waited for practice to end.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When practice was over Millie offered us a ride and I took it but Lex didn't. When I got in the car I said hello to Millie's mom and dad and then turned to her "Lex won't tell me his crush tell Saturday!"
Millie giggled "I know who it is, he told me."
My mouth had just gaped open so much that a whale could fit in it "Who?! Who is it?"
"I promised I wouldn't tell, Des! I won't go back on a promise"
"He told you but not me?" I asked, getting kind of angry and feeling left out now.
Millie nodded "He said he would tell you Saturday be lucky he has the nerve to even say that. He thinks it's embarrassing but I think it's perfect, sense the person likes him back." She said
I growled and opened the door to get out when the car pulled up into my driveway. I walked in without waving to Millie. My laptop was still sitting on my recliner so I picked it up and wrote and E-mail to Lex saying:

Dear Jerk face,


JERK! I HATE YOU! YOU LITTLE WEESEL! I WILL NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN!

Signed

Very ticked off friend
A.K.A Des

I wrote it fast and sent it with a fierce click of the button. Then I turned it off and got in my P.Js. After that, I got in my bed and slept, getting yet another weird dream.


This time Alice was working on something and I decided to get up and look in a mirror. That's when I realized that the reason I couldn't talk was because I had no mouth. Instead, there was a blank splotch of skin.  Alice turned to me and frowned, "why'd you look?"

I woke up with my covers thrown everywhere, it doesn't seem freaky to you but trust me, it was. I got up and got dressed not noticing what I put on and ran outside to fresh air, it was Friday, I had my history project in hand and was running down the street to Francis High. I was running and caught a glimpse of Lex staring at me but instead of stopping I continued and growled at him, one thing that I was sure of was he could hear because he hung his head low when I did it. I kept running tell I reached the school and when I did I ran into Emily and she ended up pushing me hard into the ground hard "jerk" she said I sighed and got up, wiping of the dirt. Ran in side and turned in, my homework to the teachers before going back out and running back home, I was ditching to rob the bank today. I couldn't wait till tomorrow, I would do it today.

When I got home I reached for the blue prints and turned into a warden with my shape shifting ability and walked out side to see it raining, my long black hair stuck to me and my bangs hung from my forehead. I got to the bank by the time school had started and walked in carefully and quietly, I had forgotten my field notes so I was winging it, when I was in I walked past the security desk and to the blind spot called the storage room, I looked around and returned to my normal self my hair still clinging to me. I walked past the blind spot and into the one with five cameras totally forgetting about the notes I had left myself, I was undisguised and in the worst spot you could be in. I heard a loud alarm when I tried picking the lock and in seconds police surrounded me…. I was caught. I tried breaking free but they held a firm grip and had put my hands in handcuffs. My hands were still in front of me so I looked at them making my face covered by my drenching wet hair. I was escorted outside and saw someone running down the street. It was Lex, what was he doing? I soon found out when he came up to me and looked at me with horror. "You… you tried robbing a bank?"
I laughed at this "I've done it a lot of times before, I just wasn't careful."
He stared at me and lifted my head up "I have to tell you something"
When I looked at him I notice there was betrayal in his eyes.
I growled "what?"
"My crush. It was you Des, and now I don't think I can be in love with a criminal." Before I could say anything he walked away and I fell to my knees, looking at the ground my face invisible to everyone around me.
"Get up" I heard a police officer say
I got up and sat in the squad car tell we got to the police station
