What A Life
My name is Alexandra Croc I like to go by Alex though. I am 15 so that makes me a freshmen in high school, I have brunette hair and green eyes. I’m about 5’ 3”. So far my life sucks; my parents are divorced, my brother died in a drive by shooting, and my other brother had become a rebel, he joined a band, got drunk, and comes home late, if he does come home at all. The only thing I could look forward to is going to school, sad right? My friends were the only thing I had left, they listened to me, understood me… until…
Well you see, one morning I woke up with this freak bug bite on my wrist, my mom told me she would take me to the doctor, the thing is, we live in a small town, by a forest and the closest doctor is this crazy chick who lives in the woods and thinks she is like a magician or something, weird right? So when we got to the “doctor” she had to go do something so I was just sitting there, my mom was reading magazines, most of which were lame so I just sat there, looking around: it was a weird room, spider webs, jars full of God knows what, a big pot behind the desk, some puzzles for kids, and a bunch of really old posters. Behind the counter I saw, I couldn’t tell what it was, it looked like a jar of…, eyes! Sick what kind of doctor has a jar of eyes, I tried to show my mom but she just ignored me, I hate my mom. I was going to get up to see what else this freak had in her office but then she came in…
Doctor Crowne, she may be a freak but she is really pretty, she had glowing blonde hair and lavender eyes, she had beautiful curves too, and a heart-shaped face. Her first name was Claire, Claire Crowne. She kind of reminds me of my mom, she almost looks like my mom. The only difference is that my mom has blue eyes and her face is normally, oval-shaped. Anyway she asked me to follow her; my mom said she’d stay in the waiting room. I followed her into this small room, not to small, but not huge. Dr. Crowne asked me to sit down so she could examine my wrist. She mumbled something to herself that I couldn’t quite make out. She gave me some medicine that she said would make it stop itching and told me it would eventually heal. To be honest, it’s not like normal bug bites, it didn’t itch a lot, but it tingles. The day I noticed it I felt different, not too different but weird different. She told me the medicine would make me a little drowsy, but I still could go to school if I wanted to. Of course I wanted to… my house is a terrible place to be.
I went to school the next day and told my friends about the bite and how I have to take the medicine every 3 hours when I’m not sleeping. Erik, my best friend since kindergarten, told me he got one a few weeks ago and that it itched like hell. I fell asleep in 5th period, but whatever it’s math so I really don’t care. At lunch Cindy and Angel had this project to work on so it was just me and Erik. We were messing with each other as always, he stole a french fry so I softly punched him and he nudged me, I lost my balance and fell off the bench. He helped me up and for a short moment our eyes met. His eyes are beautiful; they’re blue, which is odd because he has brunette hair like me... no I can’t fall for Erik, he’s my best friend. I snapped out of my trance, he smiled at me and held out his hand “sorry about that” “no problem” he held me there in his arms for a second – a second that felt like years - until Cindy and Angel came back “Whoa what’s going on here? We leave you alone for half an hour and this happens?” Angel thinks Erik and I should go out and has thought that for a while now, she just doesn’t understand that I only want to be his friend. “No, I pushed her and she fell…” “Oh so we leave you alone and you beat her up” Cindy is the teaser. I noticed I was still holding Erik, I slowly let go and to cover it up I said “you owe me for that” and smiled at him playfully. Cindy and Angel just gave me a look and we all finished our lunches.
The rest of the day was quiet and slow until after school… Eric had asked me to go with him to the cafeteria to get a snack and on the way I passed out, apparently I was out for a whole hour, but I was talking in my sleep, he said I was speaking in another language or something. I stayed on a couch in the library and just lay there until I felt better and Erik was with me the whole time. Laying there with him got me thinking, are my friends right, does Erik like me? We’ve known each other for ten years… No, no he just thinks of me as a sister, not a girlfriend “Alex?” his voice snapped me out of though “Yeah Erik?” “Do you want me to walk you home I wouldn’t want you passing out again.” “Sure, if it’s not a bother” “Not at all”.
