Flower Crown Chapter 1

I stood at the bus stop with my feet rooted into the gravel. I was waiting, waiting for a break,

waiting for a cure or antidote that can make me human.

I remembered how I can swipe my fimbled fingers and the bus could appear instantly,I wanted to I remembered how I can swipe my fimbled fingers and the bus could appear instantly,I wanted to

not be the freak and also make things difficult for my best friends. Let's make the picture

bigger, I stood at the bus stop with my feet rooted into the gravel as my best friends Gabby

and Reece fight about the newest small-town band's song. Their attachment makes me the

third wheel, but it's easier to keep my secret that way. Like how they never came over to my

house,or in fact never met any of my family. Little do they know, my family isn't actually my

family. That's because I live alone. I casually lie multiple times by saying "my brother is sick" or

"my parents are out of town". It's sad since I am 15 and have been alone by myself since I was 6.

As weird as this may sound, I had a nanny. I tried to make myself believe it was my mother, but

my mind blocked it off. She had beautiful golden hair and olive skin. Blue eyes that matched the

sky I never doubted to make a big deal of. She always wore a white dress that flew in the

wind, because she never cared if the door was open bringing in heavy breezes. What I liked the

most about her was her woven leaves that she wore around her head. Early in the morning I

would watch her go out to the field behind my house and pick flowers. When she makes it back would watch her go out to the field behind my house and pick flowers. When she makes it back

inside with a nest of flowers, she brews coffee and sits in a rocking chair creating her halo. I

would crawl in her lap and snuggle with her as the golden light shown through the window. "You

know I will not always be here." she would say as she rocked me. I didn't care about the future

when I was that age, all that mattered to me was the present. "Why?" I would ask finally

looking into her aqua eyes, how it would change different shades of blue throughout the day. "I

need to go back home Caire." she would softly speak, I knew how much she missed her "home",

eventhough I didn't know where it was. This was also the first time I ever heard my name.

Something churned in my stomach that give me instant knowledge it was my name.

One day, I woke up early expecting to see her outside picking flowers. I ached a little when the

field was empty and the weeds swayed with saddnes. I ran into her bedroom, to find every sign

of her existing gone. And that's the week the bus decides to stop in front of my home and take

me school. Also the time when I realized I need to keep everything a secret. Another thing I

realized was that the majestic woman that cared for since I was born was Mother Nature. I

am one of her children.

Sat down to protect the plants and animals from the damage humans cause. The bus finally

arrived as I hopped on and bundled up with Gabby and Reece. Gabby agressively put lip gloss on

while Reece pours powdered juice in a water bottle and shakes it. "Can you please stop shaking?!"

she yells slapping his arm, which caused him to spill his juice on his white shirt (wrong choice)

leaving a red stain. I couldn't help laughing as he glared at me. He took his shirt off, exposing his

bare chest.

I quickly take my eyes off of him in disgust. I focused on Gabby as she couldn't help but drool a

little. He dug in his backpack and pulled out a black shirt and threw it on.

We finally pulled up to the school as Gabby held on to my backpack. I was okay with it since I

know exactly the reason why. The amount of teenagers running everyhwere and bumping us all. know exactly the reason why. The amount of teenagers running everyhwere and bumping us all.

Reece walked behind us shoving everyone so he couldn't get another ruined shirt. Just to think,

we have two more years of hurrying through the courtyard into the school. Getting inside,

Gabby let go and reached out of her bag for lip balm. She headed her seperate way to her

locker, her red hair bouncing away.

Her boots made her noticable by how loud they are. Reece and I made it to our lockers, which

were luckily by eachother. "Caire, do you have any plans this weekend?" he asked.

Before I answered my eyes catches him. Utterly the most amazing,perfect human being you Before I answered my eyes catches him. Utterly the most amazing,perfect human being you

could ever lay eyes on. Happily he lays his on me. Daniel Onah. Not most people would agree with

me when it comes to him. But just something about him has me blind. Gabby calls him and his

friends the 6 Stalkers, because their constant staring at me and her like we're the last cookie on

the plate. Mostly me. Daniel had golden skin as if he made out with the sun. He had dark shaggy

hair, his bangs cutting right above his eyes. The piercing green of his eyes were literally

breathtaking. I drifted my eyes away and realized all of them were watching. They were all

Italian. The golden skin and the beautiful hair. Daniel's best friend Pasna Kial (he goes by Ollie for

some odd reason) is the guy who tossed Gabby's heart around until she finally retrieved it and

locked it away. If you haven't noticed, she is so close to giving it to Reece. Reece waves his hand

in front of my face pushing me back into reality. "Earth to Caire!" he snaps. I blinked at his

puffed voice. "Are you busy this weekend?" he asks. My eyes shifted to Daniel and his soft face puffed voice. "Are you busy this weekend?" he asks. My eyes shifted to Daniel and his soft face

hardened as he abandoned his friends. "Yeah, I am. Why?" I finally grabbed onto my lock and

fumbled to switch to the combination.

"Well, I was thinking we could rent out a hotel room for tonight? You know just three friends

having a sleepover." he mummbles out going through his locker.

I smiled at his idea, as a normal human I would have been hesitant. You know? Like ask their

parents and then get angry when they say no. And at the end of it all, sneak out,go back home

the next morning and then grounded. "Sounds great! I'm sure my parents will let me." I said the next morning and then grounded. "Sounds great! I'm sure my parents will let me." I said

grabbing my books and closing my locker. He smiled widly and said "Great! So everyone most

likely will be coming. It's at Yorkson Hotel. Be there by 7." Reece closed his locker and heads to

class, leaving me wide and open for 5/6 of the stalkers to openly stare. I swifted my hand as

the bell quickly rung saving me from awkwardness.

By lunch, I was pumped. Learning boosts my mood for the oddest reason, Even though the

constant writing is what I dread, I perfer just casually listening. I sat at our table with one slice

of the school's greasy pizza leaking on my plate. I took a bite wiping the grease off my mouth.

Gabby and Reece walked over to our table arguing over whatever. I reached for my iPod and Gabby and Reece walked over to our table arguing over whatever. I reached for my iPod and

turned up "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys to drown their bickering. As I looked up to

them smiling.

I found Daniel's strucked looks as his eyes were on me. I lowered my head back to my pizza as

Gabby took an earbud out of ear. "What?" I asked between midbites.

She rolled her eyes and stab a fork in her salad. "You can't lock yourself away from us. Please

tell me you aren't doing that at the sleepover." she pleads.

"No, I won't, but I can't stand you two bickering." I answer between laughs. I smiled at them and

couldn't stop myself from laughing. I was somehow insanely happy. "OMG,you look so beautiful

when you smile. Look at her Reece, isn't she beautiful!" She gasps turning my face to Reece.

Reece smiles while drinking his water."Just breathtaking." his smile grows wider.

"We need to see that smile more often." she laughs and take a bite of her salad. It made me

think of my appearance more. I mean I do kind of like my features but it's nothing I would really

want them to obsess over. Scratch that. I don't actually like my face or features. I hate want them to obsess over. Scratch that. I don't actually like my face or features. I hate

everything about them in fact. My spring green eyes, my dark hair, my dimples, my olive skin

that's covered with freckles. I just don't like it.

When I got home I dropped my back on the sofa and headed to my room. Pulling out a backpack

to stuff some clothes in. Two outfits of each just in case of any accident.

I danced around my room with excitement to the playlists on my phone. I mean this is incredibly

human like and I'm fitting in and actually looking like a normal teenager. Expectations flooded my

head on how the night would be. Just thinking of, who would stay up late and if anyone falls

asleep first will have their face drawn on....
