Blue Moon
Chapter 2 My Secret
After countless hours of arguments about other people having powers like I do, We both decided to finally stop and seriously I needed to finish my homework.I looked at the mushrooms that she was chopping earlier. It looks really obliterated.
Sighing, I pushed my math book across the kitchen table and joined Mom at the cutting board.
"Let me do it. You're just messing up."
She didn't protest and I hadn't expected her to. Instead She rewarded me with a smile and whirled away as if she'd been waiting for me to notice the pitiful job she was doing.
"If you finish making dinner," She said. "I'll love you forever"
I made a face and took the knife from her.
"Thanks sweetie," She kissed me on my cheek.
"I'll be on the studio."
Shoving the mutilated mushrooms into a bowl. I looked at the clock hanging on the bright yellow wall. Still an hour until Dad would be home from work. I had plenty of Time to make dinner and maybe, afterward, to try and catch a glimpse of my neighbor, Demi.
There was some sort of cut of beef on the fridge that was probably supposed to go with the mushrooms. I pulled it out and slapped it on the cutting board. In the background. an "expert" on the news said that these anonymous deaths of people were made by frenzied ghosts that were forgotten by their relatives and have come to claim the souls of those who had forgotten them. The whole thing just put me in a bad mood.
The phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hiya, What's up?"
Taylor Swift. i was glad to hear from her; she was the exact opposite of my mother - totally organized and great on follow through. She made me feel less like an alien. I shoved the phone between my ear and my shoulder and chopped the beef as I talked, saving a piece the size of my fist for later. "Just making dinner and watching the stupid news"
She knew immediately what I was talking about . "I know, Talk about surreal, right? It seems like they just can't get enough of it. It's kind of gross, really - I mean, why can't they just shut up and let us get over it? It's bad enough going to school and hearing about it all the time. Come on ghosts? is that all that they got!, Michael's parents have got to be just wanting the reporters to shut up.
Taylor was babbling so fast. I could barely understand her. I missed a bunch of what she said in the middle, and then she asked.
"Has Joe called tonight?"
"He's probably out shooting photos. Isn't there a meteor shower tonight?" She said.
Joe probably saw the world through his camera; Half of my school memories seemed to be in four-by-six-inch glossy colored form.
"I think you're right, Joe will definitely want a piece of that hot asteroid action" I said.
"Selena, got a moment to talk?"
I glanced at the clock. "sorta, Just while I finish up dinner, then I have homework."
"Okay. Just a second then. Two words, baby, try them out: es. cape."
I started the beef browning on the stove top. "That's one word,Tay"
She paused. "Yeah. It sounded better in my head. Anyway, here's the thing. My parents said if I want to go someplace over Christmas break this year. they'll pay for it. I so want to go somewhere. Will you and Demi come over and help me pick something after school tomorrow?
"Yeah sure"
"If it's someplace really cool, maybe you and Joe could come, too," Taylor said.
I didn't answer right away. The word Christmas immediately evoked memories of the scent of our Christmas tree, the dark infinity of the starry december sky above the backyard, and Demi. I would miss seeing her from a distance even though we have grown apart she had a world of her own now and so do I. I always had Demi for Christmas but I guess not this year.
Taylor groaned. "Don't do that silent staring-off-into-the distance-thinking look, Gomez! I can tell you're doing it! You can't tell me you don't want to get out of this place?"
I sort of didn't. I sort of belonged here. I sort of want to talk to Demi again. "I didn't say no" I protested.
"You also didn't say OH MY GOD! TAYLOR! YES!, either, That's what you were supposed to say." Taylor sighed. "But you will come over, right?"
"You know I will" I said, craning my neck to squint ot the back window."Now, I really have to go"
"Yeah Yeah Yeah," Taylor said. "Bring cookies. Don't forget Love ya. Bye." She laughed and hung up.
