《Shades Of Love》fifteen [talk to me]
Advertisement
November cries,
November skies would try to mend my heart a little longer - my lips sealed into the sky and the grey clouds.
Slowly, I look at your table, noticing your eyes linger a little longer, and you would push him away, only to walk my way.
Jennie's eyes would make the skies cries soften. But I wasn't the one to really be fooled.
My body tilts away from your pierced gaze, my walls come crashing when you pull my wrist, only to make our faces meet in a daze.
Your friends, they were looking with these smirks that made me want to throw up.
I gave Jennie my back, and walked away not realizing she was following me into the bathroom.
My eyes would be focused on the ground, your presence already suffocating me.
Your hand finds mine, but I flinch and pull away.
"What do you want?". My breathing becomes rapid, but you don't notice. You were too busy trying to fix something that was too broken Jennie.
"Talk to me". You whisper, expecting me to be the quiet loser who would whine about the issue.
But, I don't even blame you when; they were the issue.
"And say what?". I bravely look back at you, your gaze begging for mercy but I knew it deep inside. This was just a show for you. "Jennie, please be my friend?".
My sarcastic statement probably shook right through your walls, my questions seeming to catch you off guard.
"That a loser like me wants to befriend the angel that everyone likes?". Arms crossed I stand, "And no Jennie, I'm not like them".
"At least, I can't be".
Your voice stops me, "Then why are you refusing to talk to me?".
"Why are you refusing to talk to me when.. you know that you aren't them?". You question my insecurities, my helpless feelings were being masked by a flame.

I hold my posture like a soldier, but deep inside I was melting. "Because we're just so different, and I'm tired of feeling pity for myself and watching your friends laugh at me".
"And more importantly". I sharply looked deep inside of your eyes, "Watch you helplessly stand there when they would make fun of someone like me and not do anything".
"But you matter—".
"Don't lie!". For the first time, I raise my voice on you Jennie, the look of surprise was written on your face, identifying my act like betrayal.
"I mean nothing to you". Jennie's eyes widen. "I heard it Jennie, I heard it all". I admit the truth, but your eyes certainly lied.

"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."
8 101The Amazing Sidekick
Jack Snyder died on Earth during a car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. . “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.*
8 107Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
