Eccentric err
Chapter one
Beginning of a new life.
In the busy road of the southern state of America . with the atmosphere being comfy and clear. The warm temperature from the bright rays of the sun and the cool breeze whizzing to and fro . cars moving on the road made it busy and among those cars on the road was a black hatch back car, on a smooth pace .
Michael drove the car, a man in his early thirtyâs ,with a gentle manâs face, with beards surrounding his chin . His fair skin and his crew cut and also, his well structured body. He looked behind, turning his head to see is daughter a young fair maiden still in her teens , she had her legs crossed ,the left thigh laying on the right. She was a beautiful girl , light fair skin , average height and was slim. Her dark brown hair was packed over to the back to make a pony tail. She wore on her ears, dangling silver earrings with spotted diamonds , she looked out of the window, she had her arms crossed against her tommy. she swigged her foot in vexation. She wore a grey hiking boots with black socks.
Above her hip, she was on a denim bum short ,to her top, was a black singlet and a denim saggy jacket that reached the same level with her bum short.
Round her neck was a golden necklace. She looked really furious use
âcome on sweetie , cheer upâ
Michel said looking at his daughter , parsley .
But parsley didnât respond back but instead looked outside the window.
âsweetie?â
Michael called again .
âquit calling me!â
She yelled . turning finally to him .
âI am sorryâ
âsorry?, do I look like a peddler or did I say I want to be one?â
âbut sweetie , is for our good, they are trying to get meâ
âwho the hell is chasing you?â
Just then, Michel quickly parked at the side of the road. He dug his hand into his pocket and brought out a small case . he handed it over to parsley .
âwhatâs this?â , she asked rudely, as she quickly took it away from him.
âthis is a locket, it is really dangerous and surprisely our
lives are limited by thisâ.
He said, as parsley brought the golden locket out of the case and when she opened it, she saw a scarlet little flash drive.
âwhatâs this?â, she said .
âwillow codeâ
âwhatâs willow codeâ , parsley asked, really confused.
âyou wonât understand now, maybe later I would explainâ
Michael started up the car engine and whizzed.
Few weeks later, parsley was dropped at her new school.
She was at the front of the door of the school building, her heart flipped. The fear of going to a new school over whelmed her and her fingers ran cold. Her entire hand shivered, to even touch the door handle.
âbreath in, ⊠outâ
She said to herself as she aimed to open the door feeling really nervous .just then, an hand grabbed the door handle.
Parsley was so horrified. She widened her eyes feeling so scared and afraid to look up.
âthis is how to open the doorâ
A voice said, as the hand which held the door handle pulled it down and swung the door open.
Parsley wondered who could be the gentle man beside her, she slowly rose up her face to see a tall cute guy beside her. He was kind of tall ,with his hair jelled towards the left side, his little lips was pitch with a grey iris. He wore an ash top that slightly revealed his muscular structure and a black denim pants, with his black school bag hanging at the left side of his shoulder. He smiled at her and asked
âdo I know you?â
ânoâ she responded.
ânew student, right?â
âyeahâ
âniceâ
âwell ladies firstâ stretching forth his hands in a gentle bow.
Parsley breathed in deeply. On her red denim pants ,the yellow top she wore with her white sneakers and the black school bag, she hanged at the left side of her shoulder .
She stepped into the hallway gently and took a step forward. The hallway was too noisy, people roaming around and yelling about. Some banged their locker to make a loud annoying sound. Some chewed bubble gum and made loud noises after they had blew a bubble and it burst it. Some snapped selfies with their phones. While, some group of people were singing at a corner.
Just then, the dude which parsley had saw at the door way.Lawrence, came forward to stand beside her.immediately, all the student in the hallway froze, all turning towards them [all eyes].
Parsleyâs face looked innocent and scared. The entire hallway ran quiet. Everyone starred at them.
âughâŠ.she is a new studentâ
Lawrence said, raising up his hand.
Just then, everyone got back to what they were doing. The noise makers, the hallway roamers, the lockers bangers, the bubble gum chewers, the yellers, the song singers. The hallway became noisy again.
âsoâŠ.letâs go to classâ Lawrence offered.
They were in the classroom. At the side of the window, they sat on a double bench, as parsley brought out her books.
âmy bad, whatâs your name?â
Lawrence asked,
âparsleyâ
âniceâ
âYours?â
âLawrenceâ
Parsley smiled, as she glared quickly at her book and looked up to him again.
âwhat lesson is first?â
âWhat do you wanna have first?â
âUmmâŠ.. biologyâ she blushed.
âwhy that?â
âI love the subjectâ
âand what topic exactly do you like?â
âeveryâŠâ
âare you sureâ
âwhatâs wrong with you?â parsley chuckled, Lawrence laughed.
âyou know, people like biology for a particular famous topic, I hope you are getting the painting now?â
âsilly â
They both laughed. Just then, the door of the class room swung open and some group of student gushed in, making a hell of anoise. The school bell quickly rung and everybody settled down immediately.
âyour girlfriend?â
A girl from the back asked, bringing her face close to Lawrence as she chewed a bubble gum.
âhamm, mandy, you are kidda too close to meâ
She then sat back to her seat.
âsheâs not âŠ,sheâs a new kidâ Lawrence said.
The teacher then stepped up to the board,
âalright kids, chemistryâ He said as he wrote it with the chalk on the board.
âwe have a new kid!â a guy shouted from behind.
âyah!â the whole class shouted.
âoh, it skipped my mindâ the teacher said.
âyou donât have a mindâ
Another guy at the front seat said and everybody laughed. The teacher quickly shot him a dangerous eye glance and he kept quiet.
âmiss, can you step forward, pleaseâ he offered
Parsley sighed, and gently stood up from her seat and to the class she stood.
âmy name is parsley, ⊠parsley willowâ she said .
âwillow ? ⊠as in , willow code?â mandy asked.
âyeah, thatâs rightâ she responded generously with a warm smile.
âalrightâŠâ the teacher intend to say.
âhow old are you ?â the crazy guy from the back asked again.
âfifteen, slightly, I am still gonna be sixteenâ she said.
âpray you get a boyfriend thenâ the girl at the front said, lezzie . the whole class chuckled.
* * * * * * * *
The class was over for the day. Parsley and Lawrence walked down the hallway out of the school.
âI hope you wonât find it difficult to open the door tomorrow morningâ. Lawrence said trying to raise a sense of humor . parsley chuckled .
âyou really are a nice guyâ
â yeah, niceâ
I havenât known you for a long time but I know you do love saying nice a lotâ Lawrence smiled, exhibiting his disterma.
âsoâŠ, how are you reaching home?â
He asked. âtrekking, taxiâŠâ
Before he could finish talking , a black luxurious car zoomed into the school drive way. Parsley looked towards the carâs direction.
â oh, you have a carâ
âYeah, well see you tomorrow thenâ
As parsley walked towards the car the driver quickly came out and opened the car door,so, she could get in . the car whizzed off leaving lawrence standing alone.
* * * * * *
Parsley was home already, she opened the entrance door and saw her father operating his laptop at the dining table.
âpaps, I am back from schoolâ she said as she bounced on the middle sofa.
Michel noticing his daughter ,closed his laptop .
âyeah, how was your first day in schoolâ he asked. As he itched the back of his head. looking some worth suspicious.
âfine, what are you doing?â parsley asked looking at him with narrowed eyes.
âsome work in my laptop, well I will quickly finish them up in my room upstairs, lunch is in the fridge, okay.â He said as he gave a quick peck on her fore head, and went upstairs.
âweirdâ, parsley said to herself.
The next day, it was time for break and parsley went to the hall way to her locker, she arranged her books neatly into the locker cautiously.
âboom!â
Someone shouted from behind her the scare her.
Immediately parsley became frightened and turned quickly turned to see the jerk. But instead of seeing Lawrence her new friend, she saw a girl.
She was fair with red hair and pink lips, and was wearing a generous smile.
Parsley smiled back responding to the weird girl smile.
âparsley rightâ she asked
"Yeah, hi, nice to meet youâ
âyou might wanna shut your locker galâ
âoh!â she said, as she turned to close her locker.
âmy name is lezzieâ
âlezzie, I like the nameâ
âYeah, yeahâ
âSoâŠ.â Parsley said, running out on what to talk about.
âletâs go to the cafeteria for lunch, what do you think?â
âokayâ
She said as they walked down to the cafeteria speechless.
âwhat do you wanna eat?â
âmaybe, burger with extra mustardâ
âoh, you speak my languageâ
Lezzie said as she walked toward the counter.
âBurger for two, and my normal extra mustard, in bothâ she ordered.
âsmoothie, chocolate or straw berryâ
âforgotten my regulars, mama?â
âstraw berry, ugh?â
She said, as she brought out a cup of straw berry smoothie and kept it in a tray.
âdouble that, I have a friendâ
Mama looked up and saw parsley
âwow, prettyâ
She commented and parsley blushed.
After some while, their order were ready and they carried their trays to a table beside the wall.
âsoâŠ.,why do you like burgerâ
Lezzie asked trying to raise of a conversation.
âmy dad makes them, and I love themâ
She responded quickly.

âI just âŠ. HammâŠ., know thingsâ
