Oops. ※〜※〜※ Leirra Gunshots reverberated through the densely packed trees as Leirra sprinted past them, ducking under branches, leaping over tree roots, and bursting through shrubbery. She briefly entertained the notion of hope that a student would call the police. But she had seen the poster for shooting practice. They would blame any gunshots on the safe foam bullets most kids carried around that day, rather than worrying about someone in danger. The shooter was smart. Swerving around a tree trunk, Leirra didn't notice the rock until it was too late. Hands outstretched, she tripped and hurtled into a thorny bush that tore skin, leaving scarlet gashes. A thorny bush on top of a slope. "Aaaaaaaa-" Leirra quickly closed her mouth and eyes as she slid head first down the dirt covered -- but thankfully devoid of trees -- hill, crashing to a stop at the base of an oak. The now filthy girl shakily stood up with the help of a hand on the tree. She looked around and smiled. The day of her orientation, Leirra had deserted her tour group to traverse the acres of woods around the campus and obtain knowledge of the layout. Knowledge that came in handy now. She knew which direction to go, and how far away campus was. It wasn't too far. Crunch . Leirra froze. The sound came from the other side of the tree. Crunch. Another step on the brittle leaves, closer this time. Crunch. She mentally went over the route in her head. Crunch. She took a silent breath. Crunch. A boot became visible at the roots of the oak. Run. ※〜※〜※ "I knew you were a treehugger, but I didn't think you rolled around in dirt." Out of breath from sprinting all the way to the dorms, Leirra stood in her room and looked in the mirror. Her normally golden brown face was drained of color, while her auburn hair hung in knotted and windswept waves around it. One of her feather earrings had fallen out. Her light emerald top, the same color as her eyes, had several tears in it and her white denim shorts were stained with mud and grass. Blood dripped from her ankle onto leather sandals, matching several other cuts scattered along her body. Both her skin and braided leather bracelet were marred with dirt. The only thing unharmed was an emerald pendant hanging from a hemp string around her neck -- she had tucked her chin in when tumbling down the slope. "Um… Leirra?" Zoe stood uncertainly. "Are you okay?" "So-Someone shot at me," she answered shakily. "They were chasing me through the woods." Her roommate's pale face had turned even whiter. "Someone tried to shoot me too." They stood together, each contemplating who would want them dead, until Zoe broke the fearful silence. "Samantha's making us go to some stupid party." "We don't have to go." "She'll whine at our door until we do." Leirra groaned. "I wish they had shot me." ※〜※〜※
Oh my god. I used the wrong "there". That's the first time I've ever done that. I'm not worthy of ff anymore. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner and blame texting. And no, I'm not overreacting. XD
Zoe ~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~ "Well at least you don't have her stalking you." Zoe slumped against the wall. "No I don't. But someone is stalking me, both of us actually. Trying to kill us I think." Leirra bites her finger a little. "I'm gonna go get fixed up..." She looked down at her muddy, unattractive clothes. Knock Knock Zoe peered at the door for a minute, and slowly approached it. She opened the door. "Hello bestie!!" Samantha screamed, as she walked past Zoe, wheeling a huge bag into her room. "What the hell is all of that.." Zoe shut the door, as she glared at Samantha. "Make up of course! Silly! Jump in the shower and I'll get started!" Samantha started to set up on Zoe's desk, and then moved overs to Leirra desk when she didn't have room. Zoe walked away from her, and by the window. She saw the sun slowly setting down, as it started to become night time. Suddenly her eye caught somethig moving. She looked more closely, and saw a guy. He was sitting in a tree watching her. Her bright blue eyes widened. She quickly shut blinds. What the hell... **^**^**^** Zoe sat in a chair after taking a long, hot shower. A flashback of that guy in the tree replayed in her mind. That all vanished when she felt tugging on her head. "Ouch! Watch it man!" Zoe's yelled at Samantha. "Well maybe you should learn to brush your hair out more." Samantha continued to start brushing the knots out of her hair. Zoe saw Leirra from the corner of her eye. Lerria Auburn hair, glisten against the light. Her skin a night tan color, her lips had a nice red shade of them. And her eyes lightly brushed with nature looking make up. Samantha had decided to curl my hair. My hair glistened with hair spray and coconut oil. My eye liner wasnt as I would have put it. It didn't cover my whole eye, only covered it once lightly. My lips were glossy and full. "What did you do to my face!?!" Zoe glared at her. "I look like a Barbie!" "No you don't. You look human." She rubbed her shoulders trying to calm her down. Zoe grabbed the eye liner and caked it over her eyes like he always did. And brushed her hair out to make it nice and puffy with her layers. And putting her bow in it. "That's better." Zoe said, standing up and walked to her closet. Pulling on fishnet leggings and a dark blue sweater dress, and slipped on her black converses. "I'm ready." Zoe groaned. Samantha and Leirra stood there jaw dropped. "YOU RUINED IT! YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL BEFORE!!" Samantha screamed as she started to throw a fit. "Shut the hell up all of you!" Samantha's roommate screamed through the wall. "Sorry Chrisette." Samantha giggled a bit I her annoying way, whichever Zoe roll her eyes. ~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~•~~~ ? Enjoy. Forgive me for taking a while. Love you all. that might sound weird.
