Damon

Lyla’s POV

“Did your ass suddenly grow bigger?” Pearl’s sickening voice made me turn back and glared at her. The girl is everything extra, if possible she can be nicknamed Fifty shades of Extra.

I’ve been friends with Pearl and her twin sister for years now, we’re basically sisters from different parents and luckily enough for me, I’m more like Pearl while Aurora, her twin sister is quite an opposite of us both.

We were currently on our way down to the shopping mall to get her some dresses for the date she has with Lucas tomorrow while I get some extra dresses for myself as well. We can’t really say, Prince Charming might walk in any money and sweep me off my feet.

“Are you wearing an artificial bum right now? Your ass seems bigger than the last time I saw it” She exclaimed, trying to make me think she’s really surprised.

“Are you going to get in there and stop behaving as if your brain is the size of that of an orangutan?” I asked, still glaring at her.

Angrily, I opened the door of the car and sat, waiting for her to sit on her side so the driver can take us to the stores.

I wasn’t supposed to be mad at her statement but to be sincere, I’m embarrassed because she’s so right that I’m wearing an artificial bum. My ass is so close to nonexistent that it embarrasses me most of the time and I always connect it to my small body and tiny shape.

I always eat like a pregnant elephant and still, none of my diets worked the miracle that I needed.

“I’m correct, right?” She asked, smiling sheepishly at me. She settled in and the driver took off.

That daughter of a gun!

“Fine! I’m wearing one but that’s because I want to appear sexy at the shopping mall” I confessed, feeling even more embarrassed.

“There’s nothing wrong with your physical attribute, girl. You look gorgeous and your ginger red here is one to die for, everything about you is beautiful”

Astonished, I asked her, “Excuse me, have you seen me? Like, have you seen my ass?”

She laughed out loud.

“Lyla, listen. Like I always tell you, there’s nothing wrong with you. Get over this insecurity of yours,because you’re perfect. If I’m a boy, I swear I’ll do you every now and then” Her words made me smile.

“Well, unfortunately enough for me, you’re not a boy” I announced as we got out of the car.

Pearl spotted a small girl selling dream catchers and being a sucker for one, she ran quickly into the mall to patronize the girl and probably get seven or ten of those. If you enter Pearl’s room, you’ll get sick of dream catchers aside from the pink color that gives you an instant headache.

I was about following her when a hand suddenly pulled me back. When I looked down, it was a weird woman in a black dress, matching the color of her eyes, her nails and toes were painted black, with her black hair.

Several tarot cards were displayed in front of her on a cloth, making me realize she was a tarot reader.

She opened her mouth and smiled at me with her black teeth, creeping the life out of me. I removed my hand forcibly from hers and looked around to see if anyone was aware of whatever was going on here.

“Pick a card, my child”

“No, I do not want to,” I replied firmly.

“Pick a card and refute death” Her eyes were turning red, scaring the crap out of me. I quickly picked up a random card and gave it to her.
