~The Shaken Desire - Chapter 1~

September 23, the day before I went to Jamaa.

I came home, back from Penguin High. Oh boy! Wasn’t I excited! Finally Gino, the boy I have a crush on, asked me out tonight! I came home and rushed to take a bath. “Hey, Stella! You left your bag on the floor AGAIN!! Pick it up, NOW!!” screamed my mom. I always keep my bag there for HER to pick it up. Can’t she get that in her head? “Coming!” I screamed back. I went downstairs, picked up my bag, and started to go take a bath when my mom said, “Why such a hurry?” why is she so curious? “Something special, now please let me finish my homework!!!” I replied. My mom gave me an awkward face and nodded. FINALLY I went upstairs, threw my bag on the bed, and ran to take my bath. I should smell good. I kept on thinking. He needs to see I’m really pretty and nice. After the bath, I finished my bath, had supper, and ran to get ready for Gino. Gino called me after I was ready, he said he’s waiting outside. I was so excited! Just in time! I wore the black, because I know he loves the color!

When I went downstairs, my mom tapped my shoulder and said, “Hey since you’re ready, I don’t need to tell you to. But we are going to Jamaa today. Your dad got a really good job of being a manager at your uncle’s company. So, did you pack yet?” “WHAT???!!!!” I screamed bursting into tears.

“Yes sweetie we are going to Animal Jam today! Think of all the nice green areas! Won’t it be fun!!?”She said.

“But mom...” I said.

“No buts or ifs we are leaving just after your dad comes home” said my mom.

“MOM!!! Why now?? Please tomorrow! I need to do something important! Please please please please??”I said.

“Sorry my sweet, our flight is already booked!” my mom said, frowning.

“Hey!” My dad burst in the room. “There’s a guy waiting outside. Saying he wants to meet you, Stella.”

“Oh, that’s Gino. He’s a good friend.” I said.

“A BOY??!!” My mom asked, with her angry tone.

“Stella… Are you dating him?!” My dad asked in a shocked tone.

“Umm… No!! We r just… You know, good friends” I said smiling.

“Hmm... Ok... Just good friends. Well, have you packed your suitcase?” My dad asked.

“Umm… No… Wait let me go pack it” I said, almost in tears, and I ran up to my room, feeling like the worst girlfriend ever. “NO!! NO!! THIS CAN’T HAPPEN!! NO!! NO!!” I screamed, weeping like a baby. I packed my suitcase, my heart pounding in pain.

“Stella! Are you done yet?” My mom yelled.

“Coming right now!” I replied. I was all done. Now we had to get in the car and… go to Jamaa. UGH. The sound of it made me mad. If I could, I would destroy Animal Jam!! I hate my parents for dragging me in this silly thing. If I could, I would murder them. I was going to our car when

Gino. Yes, him. He was holding a knife in his hand, which was covered with blood. My parents lay dead on the street, bleeding continuously. I yelped. In my horror, Gino looked at me, with red, flaming eyes.

“Hello Stella. I just did you a favor.” He said.

“No...NO!! Why did you do this?” I screamed.

“Why, you wanted it didn’t you?” He said.

“I didn’t mean it that way…” I replied, nervously.

“Well, I’m going to destroy Jamaa now.” He said.

“NO! DON’T!” I said, feeling sorry.

“You have 1 week.” He said it, and then disappeared in the air.
