Don't Be Surprised, Alexa H [ebook reader library txt] 📗

I got there the harsh wind flew me back in surprise and I was dumped into the pool while the dark world slowly ate at me bit by bit...I awoke to a fuzzy room and a blurred face starring directly at me. "ASDFF!!" I said but didn't realize what i said that was suppose to be a scream until it processed enough in my head,"A-Alikah?" The blur finally cleared up enough to reveal a handsome teenage 18 year old boy seeming frightened and relief in one. It was Steve. His hand slowly tipped itself to the bridge of my jaw to check for a bruise, The spark like touch made me blush light red . He let out a small laugh before removing his hand and a new facial expression that seemed like sadness. "Are
you okay? Do you feel hurt? Any dizziness?" The questions over flowed my head too much. I couldn't take it
forcing me to hold my head in both arms. " A-Ah, sorry I didn't mean to make too much noise, I'm just worried" " It's okay" I removed my hands, soon enough I was tackled by a small body with long wavy brown hair " Ali! " my sister cried hugging me tightly. I let out a small squeak," I'm f-fine Rosa, your k-killing me enough.." she let go wiping the tears that soon flooded her eyes. " Well were not here for a funeral, so I suggest we skip the pool and head back and get you some rest" Steve picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, His mint leaf like scent made me want to hug him all day, but I tried my best to resist. I was still confused on why I felt so drawn to him, I've been around other guys back at my old school,but never felt anything like this. Life is so complicated. Rosa lead the way as she jumped to open the door to room 204. " Put me down already! I have the keys" I banged on his back until he let out a chuckle and let me reach the floor gently. I sprung open the keys out my pocket to open the door as it creaked. " Home!" Rosa jumped onto the well soft cushioned bed and turn around to make a pose. She patted one side of the bed and winked at me " Come come Ali, my and teddy are waiting." I Laughed as I pulled Steve and walked over to sit next to Rosa. " Are you sure it"s okay for me to be here..?" " YUP !" I Flopped backwards onto the bed. "Alikah, I hope you know, but a few days after today I'll be getting my stuff ready going back to school." " Aw, So soon? I only met you today. Then why don't we find a mall or something tomorrow?" I glanced over to Steve as he scratched the back of his head thinking. " Yea sure" " Well I'll get going now. Some friends wanted to hang later" He got up as I closed my eyes to hear the open and close clicks of a door.
What!? Leaving me here?

I woke up noticing I fell asleep near Rosa snuggling her bear. Mother or Father haven't came back it seemed. This is  really strange, do they have so much stuff to do that they didn't bother to come home. It's already been 4 days since we first arrived, and I felt comfy knowing there would be a day I'd have to go back to Cali and live my regular life again. I rolled over to tap Rosa. " Rosa, Get up we gotta get breakfast or they might close soon." " mm. Okay sis" She got up rubbing her eyes and placing her bear gently on the pillow. As I got up I lifted up Rosa and showered and found some clothes for her to wear.I found some Dark blue overalls, black boots, and tied her hair up in a ponytail before taking a shower.I got out my pink domo shirt, black boots and white stripped skinny jeans. Yea I have alot of white skinny jeans for some reason, but I guess you can say I keep them to Practice not getting clothes dirty on a first day? I picked up Rosa and shoved the key In my back pocket as we headed out the door to eat. Meeting Steve once again I gave him a slight smile as we all walked to breakfast. " SO uh, I'm leaving tomorrow. Any plan you wanna put on schedule today?" " Yea, how about Park ? If we can find one, or maybe a Mall I really want to see Louisiana style's" We both had an awkward laugh before entering the breakfast area. Rosa jumped out my arms to get a plate and 4 stacks of toast with eggs and bacon. I didn't say anything because I knew Rosa, She would eat an entire field of Corn when It comes to morning food. " Uh Alikah, shouldn't you say something? Isn't she just gonna end up wasting the food" " nOpe! She's always like that In the morning. " I said passing him a plate before getting 1 bread and some eggs and bacon with orange juice. We sat at a small table I watched silently as Rosa stuffed one bread and another down her throat. " Slow down there Rosa, You might choke" She giggles before drinking some milk with it down. We all slowly eat breakfast and laugh, and scorn rosa for trying to stick the fork up her nose and see how far it would go. I couldn't belive the last time I had this much fun, I mean I had best friends and all but they discluded me and they only talk with me If I gossip with them. It wasn't the greatest of days at that highschool, I kind of regret becoming friends with them in a way. I'm shocked out of my daze when I hear the husky relaxing voice of Steve sound more excited than he usally does. " Hey Alikah, speaking of places to go for my last day why not go to the fair nearby? I herd this is the last day they'll be in town, Whaddaya Say?" It felt like every sense in my brain had wanted to just jump out of my chair and say yes. Though I had to be more mature than that, I've never been to a fair once in my life and just the excitment of going on rides makes me happy, actually we don't really have to cause I'm not a great fan of rides.Other than that our first D-date!! I mean when we went to the mall that wasn't really a date because we just walked around and left 5 mintues later cause I still wasn't very full awake from my last incident, so we couldn't really have fun. " I-I mean yea! why not? to be honest I'm a bit excited.I've never been to a fair before" I say with a smile that I hope wouldn't look like I"m trying to scare him, more than smiling. He smiles and looks deeply with excitment when he hears my response. "Great! how about 5? pm of course." he smiles packing the plates by the trash. "I follow him to the trash with rosa right behind me" Sounds awesome, guess I'll be seeing u before 5 then?". "yeah. see you later Alikah" he nods at me before jogging away leaving Rosa and I behind. She pouts her face and says " will Steve come bacK?" " yea.. something like that rosa. Le'ts get going mom said to stay in the rest of the day. 

 

As we head back I notice in the blurred distance a person 

 

 

It's almost to 5 and I reapply my makeup for the zillionth. " okay Alikah. I believe in you. You're so dam hot right now, you look exactly how Beyonce would look at her concerts. " I begin to pat my face for reassurance. My little sister sleeps soundly next to her giant bear. " Shit, I can't just leave her here "
