Chapter 26. Girls Day
I went home the next day like the doctor had promised but I decided to stay home until next Monday.
Mason came over earlier just to check up on me even though he texted multiple times asking if I was and I always replied yes. But he still insisted on coming over. He didn’t stay long because Gran was still her and he had a feeling that she didn’t like him but I told him that was all bull crap. She’s just protective over me.
I got calls from Jake, Chloe, Cynthia and Evan as well. They all seemed to genuinely care about me. I never expected that and it warmed my heart to know I had friends like them.
Mason kinda had me puzzled as to why he cared so much. It looks like he cared more than my friends do and that’s weird because I don’t really know how he feels about me. I wanted to talk to him about all the stuff he spoke to me about while I was in a partial a coma. Probably Monday, after school.
I spoke to Gran about the vision I had before I fainted.
“Gran about the vision I had” I paused.
“Tell me about it.” She pushed.
“Well I saw myself strapped to a bed in that same room I had was in. The operating room. Well that’s what they called it. But I saw myself there again and the scientists were all over me. ” I breathed. I felt like I was about to hyperventilate.
“Deep breaths Xayla. It probably may happen in the future but its up to you to take the necessary precautions to prevent it from happening. I also called one of my old friends who’s also a Psychic tonsoeak with you. She’ll tell you everything you need to know about being a Psychic and answer any questions you may have.” She reassured.
I don’t know what precautions i’m going to take to prevent that from happening but I think i’m going to have to speak to Mason about it.
Its Saturday and Chloe, Cynthia and I have our girls day out. We planned on doing our mani and pedis first. Well, Cynthia insisted. I really just wanted to head over to the hair salon and then stop by Forever 21.
We were through doing our mani and pedis and we decided to eat something before heading to the hair salon. I wasn’t really hungry so I just ate a chicken salad and had some water.
We were walking towards the hair salon when I heard Cynthia say something that gave me the crawlies up my back.
“Bitchsquad 12:00.” She muttered loud enough for us to hear.
I groaned aloud but Chloe didn’t really seem to have problem that they were on the same street as us.
Mikaela and her bitchsquad approached us.
“Oh hi Elena. I’m really happy you’re feeling better.” She said sweetly but sarcastically.
“Yeah me too.” One of her friends who I think name is Natalie said. She seemed a little bit more genuine than her leader.
“Thanks Natalie. Thanks Mikaela. Its nice to see you’re still rocking that bitch face of yours.” I replied just as sweetly.
Her face turned into a scowl and I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah go ahead and roll your eyes, maybe you’ll find your brain somewhere. Its doesn’t seem like you have one from what I heard.” She sneered.
“What the hell are you talking about?” I questioned confused.
“Oh you didn’t hear? Its all over the school. Someone spread a rumour saying that after you woke up from your a coma, you got really stupid. ” she responded smiling.
“Who would make up such an idiotic rumour?” I asked mostly to my friends.
“Oh I think its, oh wait, its me.” She laughed and her two other friends laughed along with her. Bitches of feather, flock together. If that makes sense.
“I thought you were smarter to come up with a better rumour than that.” I amused.
She stopped laughing and stepped within my personal space. I felt Cynthia tense beside me.
“You watch your mouth Elena or I’ll slap you even much harder than before. That’s why you ended up in the hospital last time.” She said menacingly.
“Oh and I’ll be sure to break your nose and believe me, I will.” Cynthia stepped up staring Mikaela down.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
“Not here. People are watching.” I whispered to her.
Mikaela seemed to believe than Cynthia would break her nose and I believed that she would and could. Mikaela stepped out of my personal space and regained her bitch face.
“Like I said, watch your back.” And with that, she walked off. She and her bitchsquad that seems to be getting smaller day by day.
“I swear if she ever touches you I’ll break her nose.” Cynthia hissed.
“I know you will and I know she does too. Because of that, I don’t think she will touch me. Maybe hurt me some other way like spreading rumours. By the way. How come you guys didn’t tell me about the rumour?” I questioned, folding my arms.
Chloe looked guilty while Cynthia looked at her nails with admiration, ignoring me.
“We didn’t think it was much of a deal.” Chloe apologized.
“Okay whatever. Let’s go. ” I walked off and they followed.
We walked into the salon three minutes later and I told the lady at the desk that I had an appointment. Chloe and Cynthia did so as well.
It took at least two hours for our hair to be at its best.
I got a cut and blonde highlights while Chloe had her hair washed and Cynthia dyed her hair a deeper shade of black. Can it even get any blacker?
Oh well. We strutted out the salon around 5pm and decided to go over Cynthia’s house and chill a bit. I’ll go to Forever 21 another day.
“So now i’m awake , you can tell me all the deets about you and Evan.” I grinned, looking at Cynthia.
She and I were both sitting on her bed, facing each other, our legs crossed, while Chloe sat by the computer, ordering pizza. I swear this girl loves her pizza.
“We’re together now!” She squealed, grinning like Lil girl who got candy.
“Psssh obvi. I want the dirty details.” I smirked.
“Okay so that night at the dance, he told me how he felt about me and before I could respond, he kissed me. It got so intense we had to leave.” She grinned fanning herself with her hand.
“Sooooo what happened?” I pushed.
“What do you think Elena? We shagged.” She whispered, smirking at me.
“At the school!” I exclaimed.
“No you psycho. At his house. We literally couldn’t keep our hands off each other.” She sang, laying on the bed.
“I’m happy for you two.” I chimed. I can’t believe Evan had the guts. I didn’t even get the chance to look into that little head of his. Oh well. What’s done is done.
“When will I have that?” Chloe whined, looking down at her hands.
“Don’t worry Chlobear. You still have pizza.” I reassured, smiling at her.
She looked up at me scowling.
“I’m joking. I’ll help you get yourself a hunky guy to brag about. But remember, when a guy isn’t there, pizza will be. Always.” I grinned.
She rolled her eyes and turned back to the computer.
It was around seven and we decided to call it a day/night.
I wasn’t in any rush to go home so I took my time.
When I got home, Kalina told me that I had a delivery.
I walked over to the table by the couch and saw twelve roses with a card on it.
It said ′From your secret admirer′
"Did you see who left them here?” I turned and ask Kalina, who had been watching me with a smirk.
She shrugged her shoulders.
“Who would send me these though?” I questioned.
“Some who wants you to be theirs.” She sang.
“How do you know its not a prank?” I doubted.
“Xayla, they’re a dozen roses. Do you know what that means?” She inquired.
“Ummm that the person likes me?” I asked, baffled.
“No you silly girl. A dozen roses says ′be mine’. While two dozen says, ′i’m yours’. Don’t you know these stuff?” She looked at me, rolling her eyes.
“No because I haven’t been given roses before.” I stated.
“Well now you have been given. Twelve roses. So someone wants you to be theirs.” She grinned.
I looked back at the card and read it over and over again.
Who would give me these?
Twelve roses even...
