That night I locked my windows it seems it only really brings me trouble. But again I couldn’t sleep. “Knock, knock” Dawn alisema coming in her voice was gentle. “Hey, you’re up late” I alisema getting out of bed. “Yeah, what did Ethan do?” she said, Dawn could read your anger. “Nothing, there was just a misunderstanding, that’s all” I said. “Really?” she said. “Well we kissed” I alisema now sitting on my bed. She followed and sat down inayofuata to me. “Wow, Why?” she asked, “Why would wewe ask me why?” I asked. “Because wewe have always alisema that wewe would never go there” she alisema taking my hand. “Yeah, well I did and he alisema it was a mistake and I agreed, so crisis averted” I alisema moving my hand away from hers. “No, you’re upset about it” she alisema grabbing the man’s pendant and staring into it. “I’m not upset about Ethan” I alisema his name like it was the plague; she noticed this and looked up at me. “Fine” She signed as she dropped the pendant on my mto and left the room.
The morning was horrible I had hardly got any sleep and I could hear his voice coming from down stairs. His laughter made me cringe “It was just a kiss!” I yelled to myself hiding under my blanket. That’s all it was a kiss nothing more, we both agreed that it was a mistake nothing else! But I didn’t fool myself I still wanted him hear, whispering in my ear like he did the other day. Ugh if this is what upendo feels like then I don’t want it.
I walked down stairs like every other siku and say my family and him. “Morning darling” My mother alisema putting a plate in front of me. I pushed it away the last thing on my mind was food. “Not hungry?” My father asked. “No, thank you” I alisema and got up from the meza, jedwali and walked over to get my bag. “Where are wewe going?” Ethan asked grabbing my bag. I snatched it back. “Why do wewe care?” I alisema and walked out the door.
I went to the park. It was so beautiful there, the nyasi was green, and the flowers were yellow and pink. I walked down the path when I saw Adam. He saw me and waved I waved back and then he started to walk closer to me. “Hey, small world huh?” he alisema coming closer to me. He stopped about 2 feet away. “Yeah” I said. “So, what brings wewe here?” he alisema putting his hand in his pockets. “Taking a break” I signed. “And you?” I asked. “Same, my family can be a bit to deal with, wewe know?” he alisema shrugging. “Yeah” I alisema looking around the park. “Anyway I have to get going but I’ll see you” he alisema turning. “Yeah” is aid and then he went behind a mti and I couldn’t see him and more. I wondered zaidi around the park and then I stopped at a pond. I was sitting on the edge of it dragging my fingers through the cold icy water, when I noticed a Blue stone. No not a stone a pendant I put my arm in and pulled it out. It was a navy blue colour. I couldn’t believe it there were zaidi gods here.
I ran through my front door running up stairs to my room I heard someone get up from the kitanda I didn’t know au care who, I just ran until I was on my bed. I got the pendant out from my pocket and laid it on the kitanda inayofuata to mine. They looked the same besides the colours; I took a deep breath when I heard a knock on the door. I quickly put my mto over the pendants and saw Ethan come in. “Everything okay?” he said. I knew that he would know the answer even if I lied. He could read if wewe were doing anything wewe shouldn’t just kwa looking at your face. And I was up to know well. He closed the door and came over to the bed; he sat beside me and picked up the pillow. He picked up the pendant. “Where did wewe find it?” he asked in a cold tone. “At the park, in a pond” I said. “God of water and Ice, it should be no harm to us” He alisema in a zaidi calm voice, putting the pendant down. “Who is it?” I asked and he smiled. “I don’t know. All I know is that they don’t mean us any harm” he alisema still smiling. I noticed he was staring at something I followed it and saw the smashed photo. I raised my hand and the glass floated up in the air, I moved my hand toward the bin and dropped the glass in there. He smiled and sat closer to me. “Do wewe like that guy wewe saw at the park?” he asked. “Why? Are wewe jealous” I asked in a smug tone. “Yes” he said. The words hit and they hurt, “Don’t say that!” I alisema in a harsh tone. “Why?” he asked moving closer. But I pulled away and got up. “You told me it was a mistake” I said. “So did you! In fact this is a direct quote ‘last night was a mistake’” he said. He was right those words did come out of my mouth but the only problem is that I don’t know if I meant them. “Was it a mistake?” he asked standing up and moving closer to me like he did last night. “Well, tell me right here was it a mistake?” I knew the answer but I didn’t want to say it so instead I just walked out. I went outside I needed a break.
That night I had some homework to finish up finally something human to do. After that I lay on my kitanda doing nothing. And then eventually my eyes drifted.
I woke up that morning with one thing on my mind, school. I had been going there for hundreds of years and believe me it really can’t get any zaidi boring. After I got dressed, I walked down stairs to find the same people I always do. My mother was washing up, my father was sitting on the couch, and Thor and Dawn were talking to each other on the side of the table. “Morning sweetie” my mother alisema as she came over and kissed me on my head. “Morning “I alisema taking a kiti, kiti cha at the table. I turned and looked at Thor he was glaring at me. “What did I do?” I asked raising an eyebrow. “Nice to know I can trust you” he alisema in an angry tone, He was the strongest of us all and not a person wewe wanted to have a beef with. “What’s with you?” I looked at him; his hand was flat on the meza, jedwali like he had just silently banged it down. “Ethan told me” he said. I panicked but I wasn’t so sure what he meant, yes Ethan had told him something but what? That we kissed, that I found another pendant au that I was upset about the man’s pendant. “Why didn’t wewe tell any of us” Dawn alisema under her breath. She was hiding. So it wasn’t about the kiss. “Okay, what are wewe talking about” I asked, I gave up I didn’t want to keep playing the guessing game. “The pendant wewe found” Thor answered. He seemed calmer but I didn’t want o test it. “I didn’t want to worry any of you” I said. I was now looking down at the meza, jedwali avoiding an eye contact. “Ethan, alisema it wasn’t a threat but inayofuata time say something” Thor said. His voice had had power in it. “Oh please! Like wewe haven’t made a mistake, wewe go out and do drugs!” I yelled I was standing now my fists were clenched. “That’s enough” my father had got up, he was always the one to break up the wars. I looked over to my mother she was staring at us; she looked like she did the other siku when she was kusoma the newspaper. I picked up my bag from under the meza, jedwali and walked away. I looked back at Thor I could tell this was not the end of discussion.
I hated the start of the siku I just wanted lunch to come but then again part of me didn’t. I sat inayofuata to Liz like I did every day. She was looking at this boy, he looked so sad. “He’s not happy?” I asked, she turned to look at me and smiled. “Yeah, Thor is totally peachy about it” She alisema in a sarcastic tone. “Oh, so that’s why he was a bowl of sunshine this morning” I alisema looking at the meza, jedwali where Thor sat. He was sitting with his jock friends. “Yeah, I don’t know why he hates it so much” She alisema staring at him. He noticed her stare but he shook it off. “I think it’s because wewe pick a bila mpangilio guy and start talking to him and then wewe literally work your magic” I alisema smiling. “I don’t see how that’s a problem” She alisema turning back to the boy.
The last class I had of the siku had both Remi and Adam in it. They were sitting across from each other not even taking notice that the other is there. I was sitting between Liz and some bila mpangilio boy. “He’s not happy” Liz whispered. She was staring at Adam, she looked uneasy. “Adam?” I asked looking back at him. “Yep” she signed. Every time Liz met someone who was unhappy she was the same.
When I got nyumbani Thor was sitting on the kitanda flipping through a magazine. I walked straight past him not wanting to be noticed. “Come back here” he alisema just as I was reaching the juu of the stairs. “What?” I alisema walking to him. “Who is Liz’s new charity case?” he said. I could tell kwa his tone that he wanted to apologise for earlier today. “I don’t know she’s your girlfriend” I alisema in an angry tone. He opened his mouth to say something but he stopped. “I know about wewe and Ethan” he sounded disappointed, like I had disobeyed an order. “Well, then wewe would know that it was a mistake” I alisema walking to the jikoni meza, jedwali and sitting down. “Was it?” he asked, now he was smug. “Yep” I said. I wasn’t as convincing as I thought I was he came over and put his hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off and walked over to the kitanda and flicked the TV on. There had been a murder I sat up when is aw the identified victim. It was he. I jumped up to my feet, she was dead? Did he kill her? I couldn’t breathe I was just gasping at the picture. “What wrong?” Thor alisema there was nothing but concern in his voice. I fell to my knees, she was dead, I couldn’t help him, and she was dead.
The morning was horrible I had hardly got any sleep and I could hear his voice coming from down stairs. His laughter made me cringe “It was just a kiss!” I yelled to myself hiding under my blanket. That’s all it was a kiss nothing more, we both agreed that it was a mistake nothing else! But I didn’t fool myself I still wanted him hear, whispering in my ear like he did the other day.
