I decided to write another one. Hehe. I love everyone's post. It's getting exciting!
ALICE-----------------
I found myself singing along to my Michael Bublé album again, dancing around the room. It was pretty depressing. Everyone was downstairs at the welcome back party thing for Sebastian. I have been debating whether I wanted to go downstairs and join them, but I don't know many people. I'll stay in here for a little while longer. Maybe I'll go practice some in the backyard. I slid on a pair of boots and tied my hair back in a ponytail.
The air outside was cool but I wasn't cold. I tried to sneak my way past all the people and the loud talking but he snack table was calling my name. I tiptoed over and grabbed a small piece of chocolate.
"What are you acting so sneaky for?" I turned to find Amor behind me. I guess I couldn't sneak off now. I slid the rest of the chocolate in my mouth and tried to chew fast while trying not to choke. I pounded my chest a little with my feet and managed a smile.
"No reason." I replied. "I'll be going now." I hurried off before she could reply and practically ran through the crowd. I hurried to a quieter part of the backyard where the noise was now a dull roar and I couldn't make out anyone's voice. I no longer wanted to stray too far from the group ever since the incident yesterday. I was even more afraid of the dark again.
Setting my iPhone down on the ground, I selected my playlist I was listening to in my room. "I've Got the World on a String," by Frank Sinatra had just come on. I began my dance routine, some jazz type choreography thrown in, making it up as I went along. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath through my nose taking in the inviting forest scents. I shuffled around the grass into a small spin. I ran into a back handspring and went into a dive roll sprawling out in the grass. I looked up at the dark sky and took in all the different stars. I sighed and came up to my knees, going into a handstand and folded my legs over until they wer hanging over my head.
I really should have stretched first. Maybe I'll start up a yoga class or something. I returned back to my feet and stretched my back and legs some before walking back around to the party. I slipped my hood over my head and grabbed a can of soda from the table. I don't even like soda. Anything beats water sometimes though. I popped the tab off and started drinking. Ugh,I hate that fizzy feeling in my throat. How much sugar is in this anyway? I started shifting the can around.
"Hey Alice." I recognize Sebastian's voice even though we'd only met for a short time. "Making friends?"
"Enough." I shrug and take another sip if soda. I never know what to say to anyone so I decided I'd leave before the awkward silence came, "I bet your glad to be back here, with Karin and everything. You guys are cute." Did I just say cute? Who was I turning into? I'd been here too long already. I refuse to become corrupted.
"Yeah, thanks." Well, see ya around!" I started singing, "I Want You Back," quietly to myself and made my way through the crowd. Everyone's voices flowed through my head and I flitted back into the house to escape the headache. I sat my soda down on the counter and went into the kitchen to grab a blood box.
"I see you're back to drinking blood." Sam was standing against the counter washing his hands in the sink. "I got something sticky on my hand,"
I poked a hole in my box. Yum. Really hits the spot. I nodded to his statement. "Cant live without it, for real. I hate this stuff but it satisfies my hunger."
"That reassures me so much now!" he got a frightened look on his face and quickly dried his hands off. I think I scare him. "Talk to you later." I waved and disposed of the empty box. I made my way up the stairs and collapsed on my bed kicking my boots off. So much for making some new friends. I shut my curtains and changed into my pajamas. Time to turn in for the night. I don't een sleep because I'm tired. I'm simply not a party person and I have nothing else to do, I'd heard some of the others talking about some website called FaceBook. Maybe I'll look it up in the morning.
Three hours later
I'm still up. I decided to make an account and I'm still sending friend requests to all my circus buddies, not including the tightrope walkers. What could they possibly have to talk about. I'm hopeless. Okay, now I'm going to bed. But, maybe just one more update. I got a text on my phone from Alex.
What are you still doing up?
I'm now a Facebook addict.
You need help.
I realize.
Go to bed Alice. You get cranky when you don't sleep.
But I'm not really tired.
You get cranky.
That's just my personality.
Whatever.
I accepted your request.
Cool.
Goodnight, Alice.
I'm now closing my eyes!
I turned my phone over and turned off my lamp and finally shut my eyes. Until the phone buzzed. I've discovered Twitter. Makes no sense but I love it. Technology's amazing!
