Chapter 2----A FREAKNING Unicorn
I can already see the pained looks of my parents behind that mirror-thingy. But they raised me to tell the truth so…here I go.
Yes, at the time I thought I was dreaming. So I pinched myself. Can you say ouch?
“Why in the world did you just pinch yourself?” The unicorn was FREAKING talking to me.
“Because I’m trying to wake up.”
“Believe me, you’re awake.” The unicorn rolled his eyes. A FREAKING unicorn just rolled its eyes at me.
What did you say? Fine, I’ll stop yelling freaking into the tape recorder. You guys are no fun!
Anywho…is that actually a word?
Anyway, I sat up and looked at the unicorn. For a full minute. It was pure white with sparkling blue eyes. Literally, they were sparkling. Its horn or alicorn…or whatever was white with a tinge of an icy blue.
“Will you stop staring at me? It creeps me out.”
“Oh…sorry.”
“I’m Xavier.” Why do all mythical creatures have awesome names? Can’t they just be named something simple like...Bob.
Their telling me that I’m rambling. I probably am.
“Leah.” I stood up.
“Why are you here?”
“I could ask you the same thing.” Honestly, maybe I am crazy. I should be freaking out right now when all I can do is hand out sarcastic remarks to a mythical creature. MOST people would spaz out, but I (the invincible one) act totally awesome and cool and stuff.
“I live here.”
“I…uh…work here.” The unicorn coughed, I think he was trying not to laugh. I should start referring to him as Xavier now.
I started walking away and Xavier followed me. Let me tell you, it took everything I had in me to not yell ‘stalker.’ But that isn’t really something you yell at a not-so-mythical-creature.
“How could you work here?”
“I was hired. Its something that we humans—“
“I know what being hired means, you incompetent idiot.” If I wasn’t so pissed at a unicorn, I might’ve laughed.
“How am I incompetent?” My hands were on my hips and I glared angrily at Xavier.
“You were asleep.”
“I—“How was I supposed to answer to that? Huh? If you know the answer, you could have told me earlier.
“Exactly. Now us unicorns, we would never fall asleep on the job. Especially me, I’m one of the most tireless ones of us.”
“Us? There are more of you?” Can unicorns sigh? I’m pretty sure this one did.
“What? You thought I was the last one? Humans really are stupid.” Do you know how hard it is to glare at a unicorn? If you ever come across a unicorn, don’t even try it.
“And unicorns are perfect?”
“Why yes, we are.”
“Then why is someone as perfect as you talking to a low-life like me?” By the look he gave me, you’d think it was as obvious as what is my name…I didn’t think it was.
“You’re a virgin.” To most people at school, this would be a shock. I do sometimes…uh…under dress, but I truthfully am a virgin. The fact that a unicorn was following me around for it kind of creeped me out…
“Like I didn’t know that already. I’m leaving now, goodbye.”
“Okay.” He just turned and left! Aren’t unicorns supposed to be completely seduced by virgins or something? (Can you people tell that I was very uneducated? So much for school)
“Hey!”
“What now, pathetic human?”
“Why in the world does it matter that I’m a virgin?”
“Because you’re pure, now go away.” Xavier ran off.
I was stunned, and then playback of what happened. For some reason, it clicked in my brain that I’d just seen a mythical creature.
“Oh my God!” I was screaming, “I’m crazy, I’m freaking crazy!”
“Calm down, Leah. Just walk back here and you’ll be okay.” Mr. Larson’s voice was coming in though my right ear.
“Everything is not going to be okay! I just had a conversation with a unicorn! A freaking UNICORN. Emphasis on the unicorn part!”
“Just come back, okay honey?”
