afternoon. She furrowed her brows and threw the bandage away before answering the door. She was met with a frantic Jessica, who easily let herself inside the house.
“Okay, I have so many things to tell you!” she exclaimed.
“Come on in,” muttered Lola, shutting the door. She turned and watched her friend pace back and forth in the living room.
Jessica looked at her. “First, what happened to you? You disappeared after free period.”
Lola furrowed her brows, thinking back to earlier that day. “Uh, no I didn’t. I remember saying bye to you after free period and going to math class.”
Jessica cocked a brow. “No you didn’t. You were there one minute and then you were gone the next when I looked up.”
“Whatever you say,” muttered Lola, walking back to the kitchen.
Jessica followed her and scoffed. “What’s wrong with you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You are just acting different.” Jessica shook her head. “You know what? Never mind. Something else happened.”
“What?” Lola glanced at her casually as she reached in the cupboard to get a glass cup.
“I ran into this guy outside and suddenly I saw colors, fireworks, and…”
Lola dropped her cup on the ground as she listened to Jessica. No. There was no way Jessica had experienced the first sight.
“Lola?”
“You what?!” exclaimed Lola, her heart beating fast.
“Yes! I don’t know if somebody had spiked my tea at lunch or some shit, but it was weird! He looked at me like I was some kind of fallen angel and he wouldn’t let go of my hand! It was weird!” shouted Jessica.
Lola bit her lip. “Who was he?”
“I didn’t get his name, but he had the most amazing blue eyes.” Jessica shook her head. “It was weird.”
She put her head in her hands and sighed. Now, she had to tell Jessica the truth. “I need to tell you something.”
Jessica caught her breath and put her hands on her hips. “What?”
“I experienced the same thing with Dean.”
Jessica gasped loudly, pointing at her. “No!”
Lola nodded and began to explain to her what had happened between her and Dean, starting from the beginning and ending with where she was at now.
“Now you see why I am so confused.”
Jessica stayed silent until she began to laugh out loud, holding her stomach as she leaned over the counter.
Lola raised her eyebrows. “What is so funny? I’m being serious!”
Jessica looked at her, trying to contain her laughter. “You are?”
Lola stayed silent.
Jessica stopped laughing, finally realizing that Lola was being serious. “Oh my God. It’s real?”
Lola went into the living room and collapsed on the couch, shaking her head in exasperation. “It can’t be real. It just can’t. I’ve rejected Dean so many times that the pain is so unbearable.”
“Pain?”
“It’s like your entire body aches, literally. You’re supposed to be with the person that you’re meant to be with. I’m rejecting the entire idea of it,” explained Lola.
“What the hell for?!” exclaimed Jessica, standing in front of her. “These guys are our soul mates!”
Lola stared at her incredulously. “You’re actually accepting this?!”
Jessica scoffed. “Lola, this world is already crazy. Why not add an entirely different species of the human race to the mix?”
“Jessica…”
“What is really stopping you from accepting Dean?” asked Jessica.
Lola looked away from her, trying to keep her tears at bay. To be honest, she wasn’t that freaked out about the fact he was of a different species. She was scared of somebody else actually wanting her.
Jessica sat down next to her best friend and held her hands. “Don’t let your parents desertion stop you from being happy.”
“Dean told me the same thing,” she muttered.
“I remember seeing you two at that party, you know? His entire demeanor towards you was filled with protectiveness and something that every girl could ever want in her life,” said Jessica. “You can’t
