Letters from the sunset

Ok just for Marr.
I flop down on the bed. "Shit" I go. My brain flys in 5 million directions. What the hell just happened? In the space of one hour I've become more confused than ever. It seems nothing that Robo X29 (my android math teacher) could ever throw at me could be any more confusing. "Lights mood" I tell the walls and the room plunges into black hole mode. I can't even see my own hands. "Dam" normally my lights can reflect my mood but when your super confused or depressed they shut down. "Gravity off" As soon as I say it every thing that wasn't bolted down (which isn't a lot) floats toward the ceiling. I have to talk to some one. Living in the great abyss in space and having only one good friend who is the one confusing you sucks. I wish for once that I could fit in the world of genetically enhanced babies and perfet teeth with out train tracks. See human interception of the babies DNA while it is in the womb it forbinin on earth. But up here? Its not the talents that parents can control but the looks. No more "ugly babies." But I had to be born naturally. On earth, with sand and dirt and snow. I fell deep into a memory.
"Pearl!" A tall woman with dark red hair calls out to me. I'm six and standing in the soft waves of the sea. My mothers keeps calling "Pearl you know why I called you that?" She smiles and hugs me close. "No mama" I say but we both know I know. She laughs, her laugh is so soft and musical it blends with the tide. She leads me deeper into the water. We wade in till it is at my waist. The breeze lifts her hair over her shoulders and as she looks our across the horizon. "Well before I had you I was out boating with your father. It was a fine day for sailing and the wind pushed us across the water that sparlked like fresh magic. He handed me a little clam and told me too keep it close to my heart every day." She sounded lost in her own memory. "He disappeared the next day. When I had you the clam opened into to absolutely perfect pearl." I played with the single pearl at my throat. "I knew nothing could be closer to me than you my child." She smiled showing my a pair of perfect teeth.
Ihad never known much ofmy father, he disappeared one day exactly 8 months before I was born. I have always wondered if he knew I was born. "Pearl, Its time to get up." I guess I had drifted off and sleep the hole night away. I still hadn't made any decisions about Friday which I realize is today.
Do I go to meet his family and pretend I never kissed Arion? Yes. That's what I will do I will forget about it.
At school it becomes easier because he isn't in any of my class's. My teachers are surprised I came at all. Galactic relations class is surprisingly interesting. I mean we have the most interesting talk about the earths explosions. I just listened because I was a little afraid to talk but still it was fun. I've been attending all my classes since I met Draco. My teachers are pleased they even give me ok grades. The dday ends in a blur. I get a 45 out of 57 on a math test. Wow, I think it was a sign my days great so my date tonight? I smile, OMG I actual smile! Me, the dark and twisty queen smiles and laughs as I float home.

As the train rushes towards its destination she falls silent. Its going to be another hour or so till I get where I want to go. "Sure sure," I promise the girl with blond hair. shes goes back to her book. I can't seem to take my eyes off of her. Who is she? Her hair hangs in greasy strands like it was washed with way too much soap. Her eyes are a simering dark blue that reminds me of the sun sparkling on the surface of the sea. She wears a knee length skirt made of some sort of maygikal looking fiber. It glimers a dark blue to match her ever changing eyes. She looks out of place on the busey train headed to god knows were. I gaze around, if she wore a miniskirt and a tank top would she look "in place?" Its not her clothing I think to my self. Its her somehow she doesn't belong. I glance down at my faded jeans and my plain blouse. I wonder if I look like I belong, me a 15 year old runaway from the weathyest family in all of Chicago. A daughter of The Mob? I cant tell if she should be a mobsterit sounds like another book I resently read.

I want to scream at the unfairness I have to stay home to baby sit the demon child when the best team in my state asked me to play for them! I want to make everyone as angery as I am. Its even at the right location I mean I can't play anywhere exept two places because I don't have indorr truf shose yet! But no IT has to be taken care of. Secretly I love IT but I pertend not too most of the time.

Wow this is realy bad,
Whaaaa I missed a game because of her a game that had talent scouts at that! Oh well its over. I have a soccer game tuseday frieday and saterday! Also volleyball playoffs are on monday! same with a soccer practice! Sports hasn't compleatly taken over my life has it?

"So where are you going?" A girl with long blone hair asks but I can't awnsere. She's eating a salmon sandwhich and I can hear her chewing it. Yech thats gross I say to my self. "Where ever the wind takes me." I say sarcasticly. I don't think she gets it because she just nodds. Its good to be out of Chicago. Maybe I will finaly be able to breath. The girl goes back to her sandwhich. I have no clue why I ask but I do. "Where are you going?" "Oh here and there." She winks. "I'm running away." Shes grave. "My family had issews with me being a fairy." I blink. "Of course I can't trust many poeple with my secret but you look like some one that will keep my secret safe. I play it cool. Don't want this nut job giveing me hassle, its going to be a long train ride. She looks me over. "You wont tell anyone right?" She sounds concerned. "Searw it to me!" I gaze up into her face. Its pale and her blue eyes are wide. "Please!" She yells! Poeple are looking. To calm her down I agree.

I break from Arion's stronng hold and spin aroud. He's not there. I could have sworn that I heard Draco's deep throughty voice. "Pearl?" I hear it again. I flop down on the grass and finger the locket from Draco,
I forgot I was wearing it. "Pearl?" Arion Peers into my eyes. "Whats wrong?" I look up at him, "I thought...I thought..."
"Shhhhh" He puts a finger to my lips. He pulls me back into his warm embrace. Again his lips find mine and this time its not so sweet. The fact being I feel guilty. "Pearrrrrrrl please where are you?" Dracos voice is back in my ear. I let Arion kiss me for what seems like a eternity. It realy could be bevause we are in a alternitve time and place but realy I think it was like 5 minets normal time. Arion secnes that I'm not into it. "Whats wrong Babe?" He ask's like hes forgoten my name. "Don't"I say, he knows how that annoys me. I play with the little locket. Then Dracos voice is heard again. It hits me! The locket is a mini microphon. "I have to go,"
I say jumping up. I skip threw the space continum back to my time and space.

I'm board of this story. I don't blame you if you are too.

What do you do when you like someone and your best friend likes him too? Hes semi-cute, tataly chraming and your overflabouyent self gets shy and blushes when you talk to him. When you can say something that isn't "HI Do you like the weather?" Then go into some nervouse chatter about how you think its awful and shows how global warming is here. What do you do when you strive to be different but the person you like everyone seems to like. *takes a deep breath* What do you do when you have to sit beside him for a hour or two at a time? HEPL!

The silence almost kills me. I think a million things but they all seem to be about Draco. Something seems strange, but I can't put my finger on it. I hear him whisper softly "Pearrrrl, something in me is thinking that was not just a thank you kiss. Here." He clips a small locket around my neck. And kiss's my neck softly laugh then the sound of the door being opened is heard. "Drrrraco!" A firm but kindly voice is heard at the top of the stairs. "There is more than one set of shoes and one pairrr is one that is a girls." I wince. Yes my horribly awfully black boots. Since being in space requires little to no walking everyone tends to wear shoes that are pretty, not practical. Mine are no exception. Draco takes my hand "Come you must meet my mama." We float up the stairs. There in the door way is a tall gorgeous woman. Her hair is inter space black so black it looks faintly blue and her skin is a deep olive toned. She wears a Blue suit. Classy just like her son. Draco, I notice wears a black button up shirt not buttoned all the way up and blue jeans. Funny lately I've been actual been trying to look good. I wear a green dress with jeans underneath. The dress looks like its from the 50's its a dinner dress. Earth trends are soooo much fun. "Drrrrrrrrraco." His mom basically purrs. "I see you have a lady friend over." She winks at me. He flashes dazzling white teeth at me and squeezes my hand. "Are you going to introduce me?" His Mom asks. "Ahhh yess Mama this is..." He hesitates he knows I hate my name. See everyone up here is born after a constellation, except for me. I guess I' not the only one but it sure feels like it. Its just another thing to show that I don't belong here. "This mama is Indus." He flashes me another grin. So he was listening all the times I talked about how the government played the Indus people. I blink and relish how much I love Draco. Hes a friend and maybe, just maybe a date. I squeeze his hand in mine. "actually my name is pearl." I say. Whoa where did that come from?
When I get home I take off my boots and hang up my keys. "Pearl!" Urisa's voice ring from the kitchen. Urisa's my auntie. Urisa had this fear of space but after the bang occurred she wouldn't go back to earth so we got stuck here. Urisa's great but she's overly paranoid. "Theres Glorp log in the friege if you want." She yells over her soap opera. I open the friege and reach in. Yuck! Urisa loves this stuff they call food. I pull out the Glorp log. Its green and deep blue. I can't eat it though. I can't eat at all. I float to my room. I turn the anti-grav off and sit down on my bed. One thing I have to credit Urisa for is she sure can plan a room. Mine is space style, well sort of. There are these little folded stars above my door and my bed is a full moon shape. Urisa ever bought me my own mini dome that I can look out at and see the stars. I have a holo-gramer in my room and unlike every other teen in space never use it. Today I turn it on. I type in the music I want to hear. Its stars giving of micro-waves. I love it. Really you have to listen closely to it to hear anything. I start when my holo-gramer rings. "Pearrrrrrl? Is this thing on?" Draco is there in front of me. Well his hologram is. "Yah it is." I say "Pearrrl would you like to be coming to dinerrrrrrrrr with my family? Tomorrow night?" tomorrows Friday. I have to hid a smile "yes sure." I say. "grrrreat." He pur's. I flop on to my bed. Its almost the lunar season. I always get depressed around the lunar season. I sit on my bed and cry. "The holo-grammer rings again. It's Arion. My best friend. I haven't seen him lately because we are in different clas's and I have been spending my lunches with Draco. Arion 's body is projected into my room. "Pearl?" He ask's. He see's me crying and his little clone like hologram disappears. I just cry harder. I hear a tap on the little dome of my bedroom. The hatch opens and in steps Arion. His sandy blond hair looks wind swept and perfect. "Pearl, don't do this to your self." He whispers and steps closer to my bed. I just burst out with more tears. Sobbing all over the place. "Pearl snap out of it!" He yells. "Please!" The room grows cold and I can hear a slowing heart beat. The walls swim around and I can't focus. Arion has me in his arms. Gently he rocks me back and forth and I quiet down. "Pearl, please." I can tell he's thinking about the time I was hospitalized. The room still wont focus. I gasp for air like I would if I hadn't had my oxygen shot. I start to burn up hotter than the sun. I can tell his is having trouble holding me because I'm radiating so much heat. But I can't let go. Somehow he continues to hold on. We both know where this is going. It's not the first time I've got this depressed. Throwing open the hatch he drags me out into space. His rough hands slowly move in circles on my back until I breath properly. Holding on to my hand he genlty pulls me too a warp hole. We speed threw space and time ending up on a little planet with grass. We sit together under a large tree. "Pearl?" He asks after I have stopped crying. "I'm ok I say and stand up." That one movement so simple and easy tip's my world and I land in his arms.
I wake up and Arions staring into my eyes. "focus." He whispers and I stare deep into his eyes. He's close, close enough to feel his breath on my cheek. He's breathing hard. I reslise he has done this before. Every time I get like this he's here keeping me from diving over the edge. "Pearl look in to my eyes. Now calm down." His voice is soft and caring. I reach my arms up around his neck, and hug him close. He draws me closer. "Pearl, I have never told you...." He trails off and gazes away. I look deeper into his eyes. He moves closer and kiss's me. I freeze. No way could this be happening. But it does. We kiss sweetly and softly. "Pearrrrrrrl?" I hear Dracos voice coming from just behind me. "Oh crap" I say and turn around.


Pearls out fit
