CHAPTER TWO
First Love
Hold
up. Let me explain how all of this started and I’ll introduce myself. My name
is Larissa Berkley and I’m a normal person. Really, I’m just a normal person
who searching for a true love. I study in Grimsvile High School. I know,
‘Grims’ was a weird name for a village and the people who lived here are very
weird too. My previous school was all-girl school. So, I barely know any guy
friend and since I was always in my house and doing my own work so I barely
going outside and playing with my friend. I’ve kind a weird disease where I
rather stay at home and sketching. I love sketching and reading books. ‘Anti-social’
probably good enough to explain my all day hobby.
I’ve
been transfer here last week after my mom passed away. She was involved with an
accident at my hometown. It was really strange accident where my mom was
reported killed in an accident but her body had disappeared after her body was
sent to the morgue for investigation on the next day. She was a very beautiful
lady and strong person. She always reminds me that I am beautiful. I’ve always
denied what she says because it was embarrassing. She know how to cook and
gardening. She’s a teacher in a pre-school.
We
moved here because every day, every hour, every second, the reporters came to
our homes and start to ask us a weird question like, “How do you feel live
without a mom?” and “What is really happened to your mother?” or “How can she
disappear after an accident?”. I mean, who the hell can answer that question?
Even Morgan Freeman can’t answer that even though he’s always picked a role
play as ‘God’ in certain film.
My brother is really a flirty person because the first day
he’s single, the next day he is in a relationship. How juvenile could that be? Jenny
Harrison, who had a relationship with my brother, Louis Berkley invited me to
her birthday party tonight because I’ll be her ‘sister-in-law’. Yeah right! It’s
not that I don’t like her. It’s just something about her I don’t like. Like how
she looks at me. Oh, and Jenny’s family is the richest family in Grimsville and
she had a little brother same age with me but I don’t know anything about him
even his name!
Whatever.
So I
was sitting in the hut near the beach alone waiting for my bestfriend, Ginny
Stewart, the only my friend in this new town. I never had a bestfriend before. Ginny
has a long wavy blond hair and blue eyes. She’s very cute and cheerful.
Sometimes, she talks too much and she’s my neighbour! The weird thing about her
is she dresses up so weird like cosplay-ing. She likes to use this kind of
weird dress but that’s suit her looking.
I’ve
been fifteen minute waiting for her, she maybe dress up like a princess and
have a thick make up. I think I arrived earlier because my brother wanted to go
early so I’ve to go with my brother and I’ve decided to bring Ginny with me so
that I’m not alone at the party.
“Oh dear, this is how the feeling of waiting for a princess.”
I mumbled to myself. Suddenly a tap on my left shoulder and I
really shocked. I thought it was Ginny but it’s not. It was Jenny’s brother.
“Emm...Hee...Hey...Hello!” stupid me speak like I just saw a
ghost. “I mean, hello, Jenny’s brother.”I sat up, adjusting my hair. He laughed. Silly me, what can I say,
cause I don’t even know his name! He was so handsome too.
“What are you doing alone here? Waiting for someone?” He
smiled at me.
“Obviou-“ I stopped and searching for a more polite
sentence. “Yes, I’m waiting for my friend.” I think my face just turn red and he noticed
it but he just looked away.
“Oh,okay. Who’s your friend? I mean the name.” He ask and
trying to find the best seat. Well, at last he decides to sit beside me! Oh
dearrrr..he might be my first love or something!
“Ginny, Ginny Stewart. Why are you asking? Do you know her
or something?” Like I know anything
about the history of this town but this town is small. He looks at me and
nodded.
“Yes I know her. We’re in the same school. Are you new here?
I’ve never seen you before.” picking the flower
beside him. The beautiful yellow flower and hand it to me.
“Aquilegia Flavescens.” He blurred. “Yellow Columbine...the common
name of the flower. I don’t know much about it but my mom ever planted it at
our garden.”I take his offer for the flower. He must think that I’m a weird or
a genius head. But I was wrong, he’s laughing and that’s make him more
attractive. My mom planted the flower and she likes flower. That’s why we have
a lot of flower been transfer to our new home.
“Wow, you really know about flowers don’t you?” he smiled at
me again! I look away trying to hide my wry face. “By the way, I’m so sorry of
being so impolite. “ I blurred and try to understand his apologies for. “My
name is Kennedy Matthew Harrison. You can call me Ken.” He smiled and now I
understand why, looks like we’re both need to apologies.
“Oh yeah, me too, my name is Larissa Berkley. You can call
me Risa.” explain to him what my name means as in flower term. What am I doing?
Teaching someone about flower? He must be so bored of me! I was to worry that
how someone thinks about me. Here comes my social life.
We both look each other and I might look an idiot. He paused and look like he wanted to ask me something. Maybe he want to ask me to be his girlfriend or maybe he want to ask me how did I do my hair because I tied my hair with a perfect princess braid. I mean, why the hell would a guy ask me that question. Silly me.
“Did you
heard about the-“ He stopped and was annoyed by someone loud voice, almost like
screaming toward us.
“LARISSSSSAA!!!” Ginny’s voice bugging to my ear. I was
shocked and both of us look at Ginny with her short blue dress. She sound exhausted.
“What happened?!” I stand and I walk toward her. She looks
tired after running.
“It..It’s the twin sister!” she breathes for air and began
to talk again. “Haylee and Kaylee! They’re chasing after me!” I pause for a while and realize that two
people were running toward us, they were the two girls I met that day. Haylee
and Kaylee Levinson the only twin sister in this town.
