Dark hour
Chapter 1
Akira’s POV:
It was raining hard outside and all I wanted to do was go home and curl up in my bed. I glanced at the clock and waited anxiously for the bell to ring.
“Okay class, don’t forget you’re paper is due tomorrow.” Everyone in class stood up and ran towards the door. Today was torture, actually make that: everyday is torture. I never liked school and its big crowds although I was one of the best students here.
“Hey A, remember, you agreed to coming to the party with us tonight. Lace and I are gonna pick you up at 9, okay?” I read the text as soon as my phone buzzed and sighed after I read the message.
Blair and Lacey are so far off from who I am. I don’t honestly even know how I’m friends with them and how they tolerate my introversion. They were so outgoing and a bit popular here in our school.
“Hey!” I heard a voice calling out from the other end of the hallway, which made me turn. I squinted my eyes to see who it was but even before I could clearly see who it was, a humongous person already overshadowed me.
“Hey to you too, Harry.” I stared at his chest as it was my eyesight and then spun around. We started walking the front doors and he tried to keep his steps on the same pace as mine.
Harry, on contrast to Blair and Lacey, is my friend to no surprise. He was as introverted as me; although, he can fake being an outgoing person unlike me. He was popular for his looks and friendly demeanor but was never the one to go out 5 days in a row partying.
“Harry.” I looked up to him and his green eyes immediately met me. “Yes?” His raspy voice was what I just needed this gloomy day. “Lacey, Blair and I are going out to party tonight. Do you want to, I don’t know, come?” I fiddled with my fingers as I waited for his answer.
“Are you for sure going to be there? You do have a habit on bailing on such occasions.” I nodded my head in response and gave a puppy eye look. I was hoping it would work, as I really want someone like me to come. Blair and Lacey are too outgoing and their styles are so different from mine.
“Fine. Do you want to meet there or do you want me to pick you up?” He opened the door right after he finished his sentence. “No. Let’s just meet there. I’ll text you the details, okay?” He nodded as I ran off to Blair’s car. She was already waving impatiently as she and Lacey must have waited longer than they should have.
The ride home consisted of mainly gossip and complains about school. Lacey mentioned a boy named Liam. She made it sound like she didn’t really like him, as he was rude on their first meeting.
“A! 9 o’clock, okay?!” Blair shouted over her blasting radio as I got down and I just nodded in response and quickly ran into my house. I was soaked by the time I got in so I decided to take a quick shower so it’ll be easier to ‘doll up’.
After I finished showering, I immediately went through my closet, which wasn’t much compared, to Lacey and Blair’s. They know more about being girly than I do. I stared at my closet for the longest time and finally picked out a black sweater dress. I decided to go street style tonight so I paired the dress with a black knee high socks and my Docs.
My phone rang as soon as I finished my make-up and hair. “A! We’ve been waiting for 10 minutes already.” I quickly grabbed my bag then ran down the stairs and kissed my mom goodbye.
“Girls, how do I look?” I asked jokingly and they both rolled their eyes and giggled. “Let’s get this party started!”
