Chapter 2
Laughter invaded the room as I walked in. Looking around I saw all of my friends. There was Amy, Alice, Van, Aidan, Scarlet, Sain, Alani, and my dear Cain. They were all in a circle except for Cain, who was leaning against the wall. I slowly walked to him ignoring the stares and whispers coming from my friends. I wrapped my arms around him gently. He jumped pushing me away.
“What are you doing?” He asked, Disgust dripping in his tone.
“What do you mean?” was the only thing I could muster. Then out of nowhere, Alice shoved me away and pulled Cain into a deep kiss. And to my horror, he kissed back. The laughter invaded again.
Jerking awake in my bed I sighed sadly. As I laid back down a soft knock came from my door. As it opened it reviled a tired and puffy eyed Orion. He ran in after closing the door.
“Awe, Come here bud.” I held my arms out to him as he rushed to my bed. Lifting him up, I placed him on my lap.
“What happened? Who did you see?” I asked rocking back and forth slowly, holding close. He sniffled,
“T-This lady s-stormed into my room and s-she was y-yelling some g-guys name.” He looked up at me, His gray eyes filled with fear, were brimming with tears. I knew why he came to me instead of our parents. But there was no way I could stop these ghost from coming.
After about an hour of rocking Orion, he fell asleep. I laid him down under the covers next to me. Laying back down I held him close as I drifted off to sleep. Loud knocking awakened me. Groaning I reached for my cell phone which rested on the nightstand by my bed.
“10:30” I grumbled as I crawled out of bed. I knew I didn’t have to wake Orion because he was already awake and most likely downstairs eating break-feast. I left my room and slowly walked downstairs. I could hear indistinct talking coming from the kitchen. As I reached the bottom I heard laughing, I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath, preparing for my mother to complain yet again. As I walked into the kitchen I saw a boy about my age, with chocolate brown hair that was slightly spiked un-naturally, the end of his hair just barely licked the base of his neck. He had a plain black tee shirt on as well as what I could tell were baggy jeans. Around his neck was a silver chain. I stood there a little shocked. My mother noticed me and smiled
“Ash! Good of you to join us” I jumped at the sound of her voice and smiled weakly
“Y-yea.” I walked to the fridge and grabbed a small bottle of orange juice. Orion came up and gave me a small hug as I ruffled his hair
“Ash, This is Caden our neighbor, Caden this is my daughter Astera” I gave a small smile
“Hello” He smiled back as he looked at me; I saw that his eyes were a lively calm shade of blue. He stood walking over to me and held his hand out.
“Nice to meet you” he said as I shyly grasped his hand with mine shaking it.
“Y-yea...you too.” I basically melted at his slight British accent. It reminded me so much of Cain. His next words took my by surprise
“Oh my god! Your eyes...their...they look like waves of copper and gold!” I moved away from him, slightly angered
“Yea. I know” I took a swig of my orange juice, starting to ignore him
“D-don’t get me wrong! Their beautiful!” I slightly blushed at that comment “It just shocked me, I’ve been seeing those colors in my dreams and. uh. I. I’m just. Going to stay quiet. I feel like an idiot,” I laughed slightly
“ Don’t feel that way, its totally fine.” I smiled at him as well “I'm just. Self-conscious about my eyes.” I looked at the counter. My mother smirked slightly
“Well Caden! It was lovely meeting you, but im going to go unpack some more” She left the room. Orion ran up to me and I leaned down picking him up. I snickered as Orion stuck his tongue out at Caden. Caden just laughed nervously
“He uh doesn’t like me does he?” I shook my head
“He just needs to get to know you, plus he’s shy around new people” Orion just rolled his eyes and glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. Then when I looked back at caden I noticed he was staring at me with disbelief in his eyes, as if I wasn’t real.
“You know, this is all real. No fake parts, glass eyes” I joked winking at him. He blushed a VERY dark shade of red
“I-I know. I just...feel as if I know you.” He looked away quickly. I was about to say something but I was interrupted by a loud banging noise coming from upstairs.
