Chapter one (1)
Dear diary, it's me, Melissa. It has been a while, hasn't it?. It has been two years since i have written anything, but i am sure you haven't forgotten me since my name is on your front page. You must be wondering, 'where have I been for the past two years?' It's something no one would ever understand or believe, even Mom thinks it's a joke, they are just so happy I'm back.
I am sure Olivia and Silvia feel the same way too, since we were all missing. But you would understand me, won't you? Well I've been on an adventure into the "Isle of the Blessed". I am sure if you could laugh, you would laugh out loud.
Since you are the only one willing to listen to me, I am going to tell you how I got into the isle of the blessed, what I did and who I am.
******************
'Olivia ! Silvia !,' I called, they are my two best friends, everyone actually thinks we are triplets, just from different mothers, we look alike, act exactly the same way and the most interesting part is the fact that we get too engrossed in something.
'Olivia! Silvia!' I called again, of course, they won't hear me, they were too engrossed in their conversation. I knew what to do, I sat down between them suddenly. That was enough to bring them back to reality.
'What the hell!!!' They said together at the same time, that's one more reason people think we are triplets. 'Melissa!, what was that for?, you scared the s**t out of me,' Olivia said. 'Yes, you did,' added Silvia.
'That was all I could do to make you girls snap out of it, I called you girls twice, but you both were so egrossed,' ' anyway there is something I've got to tell you, girls,' I said.
We were at the cafeteria, in Harston High School, Bruzaville. It was prep period and we had nothing to do. 'It had better be something fun, or else!' Said Olivia.
'Calm down, I said I was sorry, well Amy said she had seen something weird in the dungeon library,' I told them.
'The Dungeon library!!!' Olivia and Silvia exclaimed, ' what on earth was Amy looking for, that she had to go to the dungeon library, the name seems scary enough,' said Silvia.
'Who cares!?' I said. 'But she said she saw a mysterious book, that's what drew my attention, do you think we could check it out?' I asked staring at both their faces, waiting for a reply.
Olivia is the cowardly type. She's always so scared when it comes to doing something weird, as I expected, she was the first to object.
'No, we shouldn't do that, the dungeon library should be kept out of sight, I am not going to join you girls on this one,' she complained.
I knew she was going to say this, 'must you chicken out of everything, every time? It's just a book Olivia, it's not like I said we should stab Mrs Claire's class.
Mrs Claire was the most dreaded teacher, a minutes late to her class, be sure of two days detention. 'Yeah, that's true Olivia,' said Silvia, 'it's just a book,' she added.
'Alright, I'm in,' Olivia finally agreed. 'So, when do we check it out?' I asked.' What about now? We've got about ten minutes before Prep's over,' said Silvia. 'Yeah, let's go now,' Olivia added.
Damn!, it's Chris, Olivia has got a crush on Chris, and of all the time in the world for Chris to talk to Olivia, he choose to talk to her now. 'Hi, Olivia can I talk to you for a secod,?' He asked. I had to act quickly,'how about later?, but absolutely not now, we've got something to do,' I said.
'Yeah, she's right,' added Silvia, she sure was thinking just like me. 'Alright, I would talk to you later then,' he said staring at Olivia.
'No, wait!' Olivia said turning to face Silvia and myself. 'Melissa, Silvia! The book can wait, can't it? Please!!! I would make it up to you girls, just this once, please,' she pleaded, I knew she was going to say this, well I have got no choice. 'Alright, you are free to go,' I could see the excitement all over her face, and in a flash, she was gone.
I actually don't see what's really cool about Chris. Sure, he's cute, nice body frame but absolutely not my type, nor Silvia's. 'So what do we do now?' Silvia asked. ' We've got seven minutes more, do you think Olivia would be back before Prep's over?'
'I'm not sure, if it were you, would you be back before Prep's over?' I asked her. 'Not sure either,' was her reply. We sat down imaging what Olivia and Chris would be talking about, seven minutes was soon over and the bell went off. Till tommorrow then.
