Howl at me by Cama Seeney (100 best novels of all time .txt) 📖

a bad smell ( truth be told it was a good smell but I would never tell him that..) 'Can't forget a little fix of yours truly.' He told me coyly. I rolled my eyes up to where they could meet his, I snorted such unladylike sound I just couldn't help but laugh at myself. He must have thought I was crazy or something. Maybe it was better that way... 

  

 

 

I am surrounded by an awful lot of people, for a loner

 Chapter 12

 

'Awh damn but i just caught myself wishing I had joined an all girls boarding school! You must know my mind better than me dude that's known me one day...' I told him not entirely sarcastic. I rubbed my shoulder absent-mindedly thinking about where the bank could be. 'Swallow your card?' he asked me eyes kind. I nodded my head in a single movement conformation. He took off walking in a random direction and I couldn't help but follow. Ugh why did I follow him I though bitterly, why am I always following him? We couldn't get more then five passes without getting stopped for one thing or another. When we were stuck in a group of five guys for about ten minuets now I reached down and tugged Hunters hand lightly. He nodded barely; if I hadn't been looking for a response i wouldn't have seen it. He said his good byes and we finally entered the bank! 'For such a small town you do get bothered an awful lot.' I said quietly, he grinned 'Yeah if you haven't done your toe nails the whole freaking town knows' he murmured almost to himself.

 

His face expressed such shock and confusion couldn't help but laugh and retort 'Know from experience lover boy' I found myself hinting at the fact that I knew the rumours of his nocturnal affairs and the fact that yes he had just  told me he forgets to chop his toe nails. I wasn't actually sure that, that was the right way to start a conversation but I couldn't care less. 'Why did you get so angry with miss mills?' He asked quietly, his face wasn't lit up with curiosity more like shame for asking but he also portrayed the look of need, Like it would kill him if he didn't know. 'Agh this really does follow you around. Half the freaking world knows! If you look hard enough you'll find the answer to your question.' I told him the fight leaving me, someone was going to find out eventually, right. He shrugged nonchalant; his whole demeanour suggested not caring or noticing, I don't even think he was paying attention. Did he care or just not mind ? He shrugged passively 'If i wanted to get the answers from someone else I would have already done so, princess.' He added the nickname as an after touch, maybe to distract me or maybe just to hint that I did actually mean something; I guess ill never know.

 

I sighed and shook my head 'Maybe one day I'll be able to speak about it... but just...' I closed my eyes to shut away the tears that wanted to burst from the very seems of my eyes.  'Welcome Maxine to Lyme Regis, the place where every single person is up in your business and you can't even forget to clip your nails without 20 freaking people telling you.' I couldn't help it, he was just so random and kind I started laughing silently – I would have laughed aloud but he was holding me so tight I could hardly breathe. But for anything I wouldn't give this moment up.

 

He tilted his face down confused 'Please don't cry I didn't mean..' He had loosened up his grip when he had tried to see my face, to be honest I don't think I had ever laughed so much in my life. I nearly even laughed my self onto the floor, if it wasn't for his arms I would have been on the floor curled in a ball laughing. 'Ah breathe woman!' He said jokingly but grinning all the same. When I began breathing normally we entered the bank I would never have known was there. 'I was just thinking.. Your poem' Oh no! I thought desperately trying to find an escape but then I realised i didn't really want to... Hmm. This guy was going to bring me a whole load of trouble. 'What if H stood for Hanna or something. How screwed up would that be!' He told me laughing.

 

'OH My God; i hadn't even thought of that! Wow that would be a crappy start to a new year!' I told him also laughing. 'See its better to like one another - less people get hurt.' He told me grinning with such mirth I wanted to.. laugh too.. Something is seriously wrong with me. Maybe I should see a doctor, I am not a laughing person. 'People get hurt around me anyway...' I told him quietly we were being called up to the counter but what he said to me made me want to freeze in my tracks. 'Is it because of your magic?' I shook my head and went to the counter. She talked of some technical problem with the machine I had used and handed me back my card. I  nodded my thanks and left this confusing little bank room. 'I guess you saw..' I told him rolling my eyes. I Sighed loudly and turned to face his concerned face. 'No, if anything that slightly helps. What does suck is that I can't help the people I love or care about.' I told him plainly, I couldn't help but feel defeated. 'Even magicans cannot stop the crule from being the way they are nor can they free thoes hurt from them.'

 

 

This is no laughing matter!

 

Chapter 13 

 

Gloomly we left the bank, but a woman lets say rarther top heavy was in such a rush with all her shopping she nearly fell clean over 'That would have been a definate arse over tit.' I mumbled to myself. 'Seriously Max language!' 'I am no cherished lady jeez.' I replied annoyed.

 

 He Laughed. I couldn't help it I wanted to slap him across his oh so merry face. But somewhere, some part of me wanted to laugh too. I must have been giving him such a glare that he laughed even more so, he put his hand on my shoulder to stabilise himself. Since when did we become so familiar? It's my first day here - in his presence. I mean and he was already touching me freely and for some reason I had no problem with that! 'Okay coffee first !' I told him excitedly, jumping up and down a little for emphasis and because I purely felt the need to. 'Did you know that per say means 'in itself' its actually a Latin word' I said with a little grin. He just raised an eye brow at me and began walking.

 

We got closer and closer to the coffee store and under my breath I muttered 'Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. ' I skipped closer to the store happier every step of the way. I heard Hunter snort but I just shot him an annoyed look and carried on my miniature chant. I ordered a cafe mocha from a short bubbly woman -  which is basically an espresso, chocolate and hot delicious milk all swirled into one delicious beverage. 'Let me guess sweetie - just plain coffee for you?' she asked Hunter he shook his head and asked for hot chocolate we both looked at him surprised. 'What! Its, how does ann put it' His voice rose an octave or two 'so sweet and yummy.' I grinned - I personally loved hot chocolate but it went so much better with coffee. He rolled his eyes and dragged me to a small table with arm chairs, I snuggled into the chairs embrace and sighed happily.

 

 'So what do you need next?' he asked with a little chuckle. 'Shoes, shoes, shoes' I  said and then groaned. 'Don't like shoe shopping much?' He asked looking at me like I was weird. I shook my head and drank some of the oh so sweet drink that was placed before me. I couldn't help it, I loooove coffee so much. ( Ohno did i just use a four letter love word. No!)

 

After we finished drinking we headed into a store that sold shoes its name was pretty lame 'Shoes 4 yous' Or something like that, I really wanted to climb up there and draw an apostrophe. I looked around again and slumped so many freaking shoes! I felt the migraine begin to make its self present, I reached into my back pack and took my glasses out, they usually helped a little. They were the geeky kind of fashionable that girls tended to wear these days. I was too grumpy when I went for my eye tests and the woman had ended up choosing for me, even I had to admit though I kinda liked them. 'You oka..Ha love the glasses!' he told me grinning as he waved a pair of heals in my face I walked passed him and went straight to the boots part of the store.

 

I looked at all the different types of black boots and rolled my eyes. Instead I looked at the trainers and picked out a pair of black running shoes, they had pink ticks or something. They'd do I guess. Hunter lifted up a pair of shoes that looked like doc martins - within seconds I loved them. They were smoky grey with zips adoring each side. Immediately I looked for a size three and tried them on. They fit snugly and were oh so beautiful.' Ahhh shoes' I said with a little grin I grinned and took both shoes to the cashier. 

 

As soon as we left the store I was bouncing again. 'Shoes, shoes, shoes!' I sang and turned in a circle. I swear to god in that very second it began to rain. The rain is something I truly adore.
