Eccentric err

Eccentric err, the rest.

“let it be!” Ryan said suddenly . Every single person was surprised on the way he reacted. Ryan face was red already, tears could be seen clustered beneath his eyes. He brushed passed her, without saying a word, parsley felt a little bit bad, but at the same time, she felt pretty proud of her self. Ryan friends followed him up, so did everybody, each person making funny faces at parsley. Almost immediately all the class was gone , nobody mind for a lesson. parsley, Lawrence and lezzie were the only one in the class.

“ugh, that was a very rough start” Lawrence whispered to lezzie. Lezzie quickly poked him with her elbow

“Ouch!” he exclaimed.

“are you okay?” lezzie asked parsley, as she came closer to parsley.she turned, on hearing lezzie’s voice.

“you guys did’nt follow them?” she said as she walked to her desk and sat down.

“how can we walk out with the crowd when our friend is hurt” lezzie said.

“no matter what happens we would stay with you, parsley.” Lawrence said also.

“ you guys are indeed good friends.thanks” parsley said.

“ but , I think you should at least apologise to him” lezzie said

“what!” parsley yelled

“yeah! That’s the right thing to do”

“no, no , I can not apologise to that fool”

“don’t call him fool, if you do not apologise to him, there is high chances you guys would be enemies forever”

“so, how does that matter?”

“if you know exactly who this boy is to you, you would definitely apologize to him” Lawrence said.

“what do you mean !” parsley said.

‘ nothing!...” lezzie immediately chimed in. he says nonsence some times”.

“no, I don’t think he is saying nonsence…” parsley got up from the seat. “Lawrence, continue what you were saying”

“ugh… just forget about it” Lawrence said.

“why are you trying to change the topic?!” lezzie chimed in again “ the point here is that you need to apologize to Ryan , that’s all” lezzie’s voice was high already, she was almost shouting now “I don’t know parsley, if you still want this friendship to continue you have to apologize to Ryan. Lezzie walked out of the class.

Parsley was so shocked, Lawrence wanted to seat close to her but lezzie came in again.

"C'mon Lawrence let's go!"lezzie yelled. And Lawrence quickly ran out of the class with her .

The science student where in the chemistry laboratory as the teacher taught. They all sat patiently and calm, until the bell rung. Everybody grumbled up, packed up there books and left. parsley also packed up her books to go, when she turned, she saw Ryan, sitting comfortably , his legs on the desk crossed. He was operating his phone, and was engrossed in what he was doing. parsley took in a deep breath, and walked up to Ryan, but he did not notice her. She cleared her throat, to get his attention. Ryan quickly turned to see her, he smirked.

“ oh, hey freak!” he said as he got up and deepen his phone into his back pocket.

“quit calling me that!” parsley shunned. Ryan winced

“why do you get so sensitive, when I call you freak?”

“nothing!”

“I doubt, there must be a reason, tell me”

“Ryan, I want to tell you something really important”

“what if I say ,I do not want to hear anything you Want to say now, until you tell me why you don’t like the name, freak”

“ if I tell you, would you then listen to what I want to say?”

“yeah!”

“ugh… fine, it reminds me of my previous boyfriend, Daniel”

“ oh, I see , he was a freak also right”

“hey!” parsley snapped.

“hey! I am sorry”

There was an awkward silence for some while, before Ryan broke the silence.

“you wanted to say something before, right?”

“yeah, I almost forgot, well I just wanted to say that, I am, hmm,so…rr…,”she began.

“sorry?” ryan quickly chimed in to stop her from stammering.

“yeah, that word”

Parsley and ryan stared at each other for some while, suddenly, he burst into a great laughter, so loudthat parsley became really confused.

“why, why… why are you laughing?” she asked ,being so quizzical

“you wanted to say, sorry,but you were like, sorr, sorr,sorr… sor sor” before he could finish what he was saying, he busted out laughing again.

Parsley stared at himfor some while, and for a moment she acknowledged Ryan’s cuteness. She wanted to laugh but held her self, before she knew it, she was already laughing also.

“alright, alright, funny clown, clowns do not laugh at there own jokes, you know that, right?” Ryan said, still chuckling

“quit laughing” parsley said.

“I am not laughing, but you are”

“well, my point is that, I do not like breeding enemies,so I thought it would be okay if we do not keep grudges with each other,”

“I wasn’t keeping any grudge with you” he said sweetly.

“you weren’t?” she asked, making her eyes cute. Ryan smiled

“you know girls are often found of slapping people, so, I did not blame you for slapping me at all”

“hey, not because I apologized, that you can insult me”

“pardon me!” parsley gave him a lovely smile. They shaked hands and agreed to be friends, then parsley left the lab. When she walked into the hallway she saw lezzie and Lawrence and they stood at the side of their lockers discussing. Parsley walked up to them with a huge smile on her face.

“hi guys!” parsley said, but lezzie rolled her eyes and tried to leave. But, parsley grabbed her arm.

“hold on please!”

“why?”

“let’s give her a chance to speak, lezzie” Lawrence said.

“fine, what do want to say?”

“I have apologized to him”

“seriously?”

“ yeah”

“oh my God” lezzie squeaked and hugged parsley immediately. “thanks a lot” she said.

They all walked to parsley’s locker and parsley took out her books and arranged it neatly into her locker.

Ryan walked down the aisle and Nathan joined him.as Ryan an Nathan passed other of his gangs joined his train. People glanced at them as they passed, they were the cool guys, that people admired.

Lezzie, Lawrence and parsley turned to look at them, parsley and Ryan’s eyes locked, Ryan smiled and winked at her. Everybody saw that and parsley blushed.

“squea…!” exclaimed lezzie and lawrence .

“what?”parsley asked,as she turned back to her locker to lock it. Turning back to her friends expecting an answer but instead she saw a lot of people already surrounding her.

“hey, what?!” she asked again, but this time really shocked.

“we saw what happened’’ a guy said.

“what happened?”parsley asked, getting really confused.

“ so you and Ryan are now like a thing now?” another girl said.

“no we are not”

“but you like him?”

“yeah, but…” parsley tried to say, but before she could complete her words she heard debbie’s voice from behind.

“recorded!, she has accepted that they are now a thing!”

Everybody chanted and made noice as they left the hallway singing, parsley and Ryan , parsley and Ryan are now a thing .

Parsley was stunned, she turned to lezzie and Lawrence as they made funny expressions to her.

“what just happened?”she asked under her breath, like a whisper.

CHAPTER THREE

Michael psycho blow.

Parsley kept on flushing through out the rest of the day and murmured to herself. She did’nt know when she answered some questions she was not meant to and say to some people what she was not meant to say.

Lawrence and lezzie walked behind her, discussing and showed no atom of intrest in wat ever she was doing.

“hey, parsley why can’t we come over to your house?” lezzie asked.

“well I don’t care”parsley said, absolutely absent minded of what she was saying.

“hey!”Lawrence and lezzie both exclaimedas they slapped their hands together .

Parsley driver drove into the driveway , parsley got into the car, so did Lawrence and lezzie.

“miss, are this people coming?” the driver asked,

“which people?”

“beside you” parsley turned immediately and then she saw Lawrence and lezzie inside her car staring at her and winking ,

“whoa!!!” she was shocked. “what the hell are you guys doing in here” she asked equally confused.

“you invited us over to your house, remember?”

“yeah, you did “lawrence concord.

“ugh, Jesus, I seem to be saying things now, just move,” she said to the driver and he whizzed off.

Within a short time they got home . parsley opened the entrance door of her home, and waked exhaustedly to the center sofa, she quickly dropped her bag pack on the sofa.

“ today was really an horrible one, I told you guys that I did not want to apologize to Ryan but you guys insisted and now see the mess it caused.' She bounced on the sofa to take off her boots, just to look up to see nobody but her father standing behind sofa, staring at her. She widened her eyes, figuring out that she had spoken a lot. she smiled nervously exhibiting her white teeth and her cute eyes.

“hey dad…” she said, behind her jammed teeth.

“hi”

He nodded his head,” who are you talking to?” he asked as he came closer.

Parsley quickly used her eyes to examine the whole room and she did’nt see a trace of lezzie or lawrence in the room.

“that’s ….a great question dad ,who was I talking to….?”she said as she got up from the sofa “I would be right back, father” she ran out of the sitting room. She got outside , then saw Lawrence and lezzie at the car pack, taking selfies of the fleet of cars and the mansion in a whole.

“lezzie, lawrence!” she called.

They turned to her and rushed to her, like they have a sort of good news.

“sorry…, OMG, your house is damn amazing, pardon us, we were caught up with your festinating home."

Parsley had a smiled plasted on her face.

“oh, wait till you see my room”

“shut up!” lezzie snapped.

“alright, here we go, girls stuff.” Lawrence groaned. Parsley brought them into the sitting room and they both marveled at the gigantic, cool living room.

“ dad, my new friends from school, Lawrence and lezzie” parsley introduced. “and, they were the fools I was talking to , when I came in”

Micheal widened his eyes, fired parsley an eye which she couldn’t understand. Rather, misunderstood him.

“oh, I am sorry father ,you have always taught me to be polite,where are manners ? please, have a seat and tell me exactly what you want.” Parsley said nicely.

“oh, how delightful, it’s really nice to finally meet you, mister willowcode”

Lezzie said,strictly, looking straight at micheal.

“what did you just call me?” micheal asked .

“willowcode” for a moment, it was as if he was really scared.

“dad, do you guys know each other?” parsley asked.

“not actually” lezzie said.

“I have no idea who she is”

Micheal rubbed his face, very confuse and did’nt know what to do. He seemed uncomfortable for some reason as he watched parsley open up the fridges to a get an orange juice and cookies.

“hmm, well, have …, I mean, have fun, I will be back in the evening, sweetie” he said,parsley was already pouring some juice in some glass cup as micheal walked out of the house.

“your dad seems nice!’lawrence commented.

“hmmm, I doubt” lezzie said but not to parsley’s hearing.

“yeah, my dad is really nice, that’s why I love him”

Parsley with a cheerful smile, served the juice and cookies on the tray.

“trust me, your mansion is stupendious!” lezzie commented again.

“thanks” parsley appreciated,and sat down, sipping her juice.

Later, that evening, parsley went over to lezzie’s house, to drop them off. Later on, she returned back to her house, late at night.when she came in, she met micheal, pacing hastily to and fro, chewing off his fingers, nervously.

“dad, why the quick pace?” she asked,her face was cheerful.

Micheal turned to her hurriedly as if he had been expecting her.

“you…, you naïve child!”he attacked, immediately. Parsley was shocked by the sudden attack. She was really confused.

“we,we,we”parsley managed to stuttered.

“I told you, tons of times, that this world are after us, they want to kill us, we are not safe and you simply cannot trust anyone” he yelled, “the world doesn’t want you rather they want to use you, parsley” he continued.

Parsley eyes began to burn, as hot tears escaped from her eyeballs and whizzed through her cheeks. her heart began to hit fast and her chest became hot.

“no, ” she yelled back “you lie” she took up a seat and placed it opposite her father and claimed on it, so she would be taller than him.

“you lie almost every time, father, you keep on saying that the world Is not for me ,and yada yada yada.i have had enough, the world is for me, and I know I would go out there and have fun, because this is my life!”

“oh my god!, what do you know kid!, you are so naïve and confused, you can’t even define your life!” he said,

Parsley stared at him in vexation, her skin, red and hot, she breathed fast as she jumped down from the chair and ran upstairs in tears. micheal sighed looking at the ceiling.

Parsley was sitting at the tippy edge of her bed near the wall, starring into thin air as hot tears gently crawled down her cheeks. she got her legs against her chest and sobered so deeply wondering why her life was in such a mess.

Just then, her door swung open and her father stepped in. she glanced at him, her eye filled with vexation.

“what do you want from me now?”. She asked with her voice filled with pain and sober.

“Sweety” he called calmly.

“I don’t understand why you say people are chasing us, I haven’t offended any one so why?”

“this isn’t about you, it’s me!” micheal began to yell again.

“then my mother?”

“see parsley, what they want, you got it. And no one else can be trusted enough to have it, and thereby you are in this game with me”. Micheal said in a harsh tone.

“I don’t know! The game, I am tired of it, I am so tired”

“see, since people have figured out our location we are moving….”

“moving?”

“we’ve got to”

“but dad! I have a life let me live it, if you actually care about me”

“and who told you I don’t care about you, you are my daughter and you hold up something really charitable to me, more charitable than you, so you have to come along with me, for our safety!” he thundered, as he rushed out of the room banging the door behind him.

Parsley widened her eye in shock, her face socked in tears and her finger tips shivering. Her lips quivering already pale.

As soon as it was midnight, parsley packed up her pillows and duvet to run away from the house and sleep elsewhere.

She quietly sneaked downstairs, as she made her way to the front door the light suddenly switch on as she intend to open the door. She quickly turned frightened, it was her father, he walked up to her with his face being mean and wicked.

“where the hell are you going to!?” he asked.

“well, I’m going somewhere far for you”

“with your duvet and pillow?”

“well……, yeah” she snapped.

“get back inside!” he thundered.

“no, you are not in charge of me” micheal forcefully grabbed her wrist letting her pillow and duvet to fall.

“no!” she screamed and yelled, trying to free her wrist from her fathers strong grib. He pulled her towards the stairs. Immediately he let her go, as soon as she bit him at his arm really hard and painful.

“Awwuh!” he exclaimed.

Parsley quickly jumped over the sofa and ran away leaving the door open.

“Sammy open up!” she ordered, yelling at the gate man as she hopped into the car and zoomed off. Leaving her father terrified and doomed.

-if she could simply understand-

Finally, parsley got to lezzie’s house. Everywhere was dark and she heard some crispy sounds, she hurried to lezzie’s door and knocked really hard and continuously . just then, someone opened the door and it was lezzie on pink pj .

“why do you have pizza on your shoulder?” parsley asked.

“oh!” lezzie snapped as she removed it from her shoulders.

“what are you doing here in middle of the night?” she asked, concerned.

“it’s a long story, please can I come in?”

“well……” lezzie said not sure maybe if she should come in.

“hmm, well you can come in!” she shouted so loud as if it was an announcement when the person she was talking to was standing right in front of her .

“why are you shouting?” parsley asked, surprised .

Just then, she heard a sound from the bushes, “haaaaa!” parsley shouted, as she pushed her self inside and locked the door.

“okay…” lezzie said, unsure why parsley was afraid of the bushes.

“it might be a squirrel” lezzie said .

“ well, I do not want to know what was that” parsley said.

“so, what’s the long story you wanted to tell me about?” lezzie asked.

“yeah, first of all, what are fourteen packs of pizza doing in your living room?”

“well…, that’s because I love pizza a lot”lezzie said slowly.

“are you lying?”

“NO” lezzie responded sharply.

“okay…” parsley said, glancing at her with a little misbelief in her eyes.

Parsley and lezzie where in lezzie’s room. They were sitted on the bed as parsley narrated all that happened that very night.

“so, your father thinks that the world is not meant for you?” lezzie asked to be sure.

“yeah, kind of…, and I am very scared right now”

“why?”

“what if, what he saying is actually true, I mean, the world is evil”

“parsley, I just want you to know that, if the entire world Is against you, I would never be against you” lezzie said as she adjusted to sit beside parsley.

“thanks”

“so Ryan needs to hear about this”

“about what?”

“That your father is actually that freak he has been talking about”

“no!” parsley managed to smile. Lezzie smiled to.

“it already late, let’s go to bed” lezzie said as she lied down and tucked her self into the soft duvet.

Later on in the night, parsley had an horrible nightmare as a dream, she has been having this terrifying dream ever since they packed over to their new home. She is already at her wit end.

In a dark basement of their previous home, the southern states of America. Every where was locked up and it was hot and stuffy. Parsley layed on the floor with her buttocks and moved backwards in great terror. Her fingers were cold and she was shivering as her entire body was socked in sweat.

“mum! Mum!” she cried, as the reminiscence of her mum, when she was being stabbed, five good times. She began to cry in reality. She put a pillow against her right ear and pressed her self really hard to the soft mattress. her father’s word’s still echoing in her ears.

------------the world is not for you!-------------------.

This particular awkward scene also pops out. A scene of when her dad exploding after being tied up in a bomb jacket. While, people laughed at her in a treable tone but their faces were all blur and she can’t see anyone.

She woke up immediately as trembling witless rushed over her. She began to have Goosebumps and shivered as tears flowed down from her eyeballs, she began to sober again and her heart beat was heavy. She hastily stood up from the bed as she searched for water on the table, to take, because water kind of calms her down when ever she seems terrified. but, there was no water in the jug on the table it was empty, absolutely empty. She rushed out of the room, so she could get downstairs.

She placed her hands on the wall in search of the light switch and immediately she found it , she quickly switched it on, and rushed to the kitchen , grabbed a glass cup which was at the side of a tap and turned it on and turned on the tap to fetch some water, she filled the cup and swallowed it in a gulp, she did it again and again, filling her belly with too much water.

“parsley !” a voice called her from behind. A image of a dead child laying on the floor flashed to her mind and she fell down on the floor covering her ears because she was hearing voices.

“mum! Mum!” then another man was pulling another little girl away of the house. She began to cry again closing her eyes tightly.

‘please, please, spear my sister’s life!” she yelled, not cautions of what she was saying.

Just then , she felt an hand on her shoulder and then heard a calm voice.

“parsley, it’s me, Ryan”

She brought up her head gentelyyand saw Ryan kneeling beside her, with his face quizzical. She quickly grabbed him and hugged him, and wept on his neck.

“I am glad, you are here” she said calmly.

“I was so scared” she cried.

“it’s okay, it’s okay” he said, patting her back.
