Wow, thanks Cherry! Oh and it's really okay, I don't mind. ^^
Chapter Nine: Beginning of The End
“You’re lucky she just pulled. Her mother told me that she can fight. Not like pulling the hair and using her nails. I mean like punching.” Ben said as I smirked. Yeah girls that fight like that are wimps but I guess use what you got. “I think we better set some rules for her if we don’t then she’ll be going to doing whatever she wants.” Yeah right, like I’m going to follow your lame a** rules. “I’ll be in my room, making the rules. You just worry about making the dinner.” Oh crap! I got up and walked quickly to my room.
I sighed and sat down next to my bed. This first day here is so ******** up. But then I notice something. I didn’t have a window. Heh, I guess they are afraid that I’m going to run away or something. So I walked out of my room and down the stairs. There was a window next to the door. It looked like it was almost night time. “Do you need something, Maria?” I turned and saw Anaya looking at me. Great.
I shake my head and said, “I’m just bored.” She nodded and continued doing whatever she was doing. I walked to the living room and looked out the window. Boring. I sat on the couch and tapped my hands on it. There wasn’t much to watch either, it wasn’t raining or anything. But then I saw the light streets turning on. Wow… awesome... not. I slammed my head on the couch, grab a pillow and squeezed it.
After a minute or two Anaya finally said. “Hey Maria, do me a favor. Tell Ben that dinner is almost done.” Finally. I got up and walked up the stairs. I went to Ben’s room and then smelled something. Great, I think I know what it is. As I came closer the smell got stronger. Has he always been doing this? I grinned and knocked on his door. I went closer to the door to hear his reaction. I heard him run to somewhere and then he opened the door and when he saw me he looked surprised.
I grinned wider and said. “Why didn’t you tell me you smoked? I think I want to tell Mrs. Nevis about this. It’s very bad for me to be smelling all this stuff. Did you know that people who get second hand smoking are more at risk for getting lung cancer? Yes I know it’s very bad. So do you have her number?” He frowned at me and shook his head.
“I wasn’t smoking I was… breathing in an herb remedy that my family used to relive stress.” Yeah right, like hell. I know what I smelled. “So what do you need?” Heh, changing the subject I see. I smirked and quickly looked in his room. All I saw was his bed, a drawer, a computer and a trashcan. My, my... where’s that so called remedy? But then I guess Ben saw what I was doing and closed the door behind him.
“Where’s that remedy? I want to try some. Oh and Anaya said that dinner is almost done and I still want Mrs. Nevis’s number.” I said as I smelled him. Yep, he’s a pot head. Ben frowned. “Ben, I’m going to stay here for a year, whole year. Remember that.” I said as I went down stairs. I didn’t hear any foot steps behind me so I guess Ben didn’t want to come down stairs just yet. Heh, probably wishing he could stab me or something.
More of Chapter Nine in another post.
Edited in: Here's the list of ideas I got so far.
Cherry wants Maria to have a meltdown.
Bluecloud wants someone to give Maria a Valentine and she has to figure out who it is.
NamiStar wants the two guys Ryan and Bear to I think give her a Valentine and to see if she would accepts their gift or reject it.
I like them! What do you guys think of them? Oh and it doesn't have to involve Valentine's Day at all. I just feel like writing about Maria in a short story and want to see what do you guys want in it. I just chose Valentine's Day as the deadline that's all.
