Beneath your beautiful mask.

This is my first short story. and I hope you like it :)

Who said a mask of happiness is a bad thing? Who said being happy all the time is truly someone’s fountain of joy? Who said opposites attract? Who said they were never close? Who said they never knew each other? Who said they are not alike?
A second ago, she penetrated through your mask of smiles, dived right through your eyes into your world of mystery and defined mystery as simplicity, you are the queer of divine, and divine is what others can’t see, why are people blind? This world of chaos is unsocial, wrong I am! For when she attempted to know you, you scanned her though she’s the unknown attempter.

Right in the middle of that beautiful second, Angela dares unknown to kiss that girl, she and Keira were sitting amongst the other devils whom she(that girl) could sense waiting for the bloody skins to cause friction so that their entertainment of Gossip starts . Unknown starred at her eyes as she waited for you to take action, her veins can no longer hold the blood they’re carrying, for the virginity of her bloody skin is craving the warmth of yours. The moment you ran towards her, all she could hear is the silence of the devils and the screams of her inner voices not being able to interpret what’s going on. Before you even held her, she grabbed the pillows of your face as you pushed her head towards yours where your smooth blooded skin made impact, that’s where she found out that likes don’t repel, how could they when unwillingness of her nerves triggered her eyes to close! As you parted away, underneath the grey sky at night, she could see the devil’s work, when everyone started whispering; you simply smiled and detached yourself from joining their cult.

At the bittersweet end of this amazing second that initiates the beginning of your journey, and before your arrival to the cursed place of goodbye, Keira’s phone rings that alarms you’ve arrived, a click on the phone triggered the beat of her heart, the electricity of her nerves. she could no longer feel her legs as the cold wind slaps her face. Keira who knows you most looks at her with wide open eyes saying “your soul is bleeding already?!” the numbness of her nerves left her speechless as she walked like a dead zombie towards the gates of the garden that had the honor to welcome your arrival. she put on her best mask of smile as she’s used to it just like you, as they saw your face, she wonders, “where the hell did his mask fade away?” no sorrow ever broke it, but today she saw what shattered it. She’s not surprised for she knows what’s beneath your mask and shares the same weaknesses as you.

Keira sat down her legs can’t support her anymore, as you try to pick up the pieces of your shattered mask, you sit on her lap as she hugs you and starts crying, you picked up your pieces well as you smiled and hugged her. Angela, whose heart was broken previously because of your immaturity cried more than Keira, I’ve never seen someone bleed their soul out as she did, what’s your secret? What’s your charm? You hugged her last as she whispered in your ears “I’m gonna miss you”, a hick up from you as you responded with “I will miss you too” and that was it for the beautiful second.

Her part was simple, the other day, as she reaches college; Angela looks at her with such a sad, stunned face and says “your eyes are swollen! You look like a dead person!”...she doesn’t know what happened, she loved you but she didn’t love you, for her heart is with someone else who’s as silent as God. Who knows what it was, who’s “her” and who’s “unknown”?
