Chapter 2 - A New Beginning

Dawn's Pov


It has been a little over three weeks since I've moved to London. I've gotten quite closer with Lilly-like old times, but not much with the other girls. We do talk, but only when it's essential.


Nick and Lilly have been best friends since their freshman year in college. She's twenty-five years old same age as Lilly with her childish personality. She is the shortest of the three standing at 5'1, with shoulder-length dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes.


Paige is eighteen years old. Lilly found her roaming the streets at thirteen, outside the hotel where she was working as an intern. And she took her in and raise her along with Nick.


She doesn't talk much, she always locks away in her room. Her personality is dark and mysterious. She's the same height as I am which is 5'6, she has waist-length black hair with brown eyes.


It was currently noon. I was lying in bed with my sketch pad, going through old sketches because I'm home alone and bored.


Lilly and the others are at work. Lilly and Nick work at The Ledbury one of the most famous restaurants in London.


Lilly worked as a chef, while Nick a barista, and Paige works at Chanel Fashion House, as a cashier.


I need a job, I simply can't stay home all day and do nothing besides I'm running low on cash. But what I'm I supposed to do? I have little skill, well besides from drawing.


With a sigh, I picked my phone up, which was beside me on the bed, and place it inside the back pocket of my jeans. 


Locking the front door. I slipped the key inside my hoodie pocket, then I made my way down the steps pulling the hood of my jacket over my head.


After walking for a few minutes I spotted McDonald's across the street. When my stomach grumbles which reminds me that I haven't eaten since breakfast and how hungry I am.


Upon entering McDonald's I joined the line where countless people were standing. As the line begins to move upwards I took the time to scanned my surrounding. 


There were people of all age groups gathered in the fast-food mart. Enjoying their meals while conversing with their companions. 


"Ahem!" Someone cleared their throat, startled by the loud noise I turned around.


"If you're not going to order I suggested you get out of the line, so other people can order!" A blonde hair girl snapped.


Without acknowledging her I strode to the front, "What can I get you?" The cashier asked ready to log my order on the computer before him.


"Can I have one cheeseburger, small fries, and a large coke please?" 


"That would be 5.95," He explained after logging the information inside the computer.


"Here," I handed him 6.00 pounds." As I was about to walk away, the girl who was being rude earlier mumbled,


"Finally, the pig has existed in the line."


Too hungry to argued I'd pretended like I didn't over-hearing her insulting me. With a sigh, I walked over to the far end of the counter to collect my orders.


After collecting the bag, containing my order I thanked the lady and headed over to an empty seat. I was about to sit down when the chair behind me was moved an inch further. Causing me to fell on the floor and the juice to fell all over me.


"Hahaha!" The entire food mart breaks out laughing at my humiliation.


With teary eyes, I scanned my surroundings. When my eyes made contact with the blonde-haired girl. Who was staring at me with a devious smirk plastered on her face.


Anger was the only feeling that was seeping through my veins. when the girl crop top blouse was on fire. 


Gasps. Were the only audio sound you could hear, and that's when I've realized what I have done. I've set the girl's clothes ablaze, without thinking I ran out of the foot mart with my bag as fast as I could.


"What have I done! I'm so stupid!" I cursed running down the road, with tears stain cheeks.


Not only that, but I didn't know how long I've been running. Stopping at a deserted hotel, I flopped down on the steps letting out a deep sighed. Opening my bag I took the cheeseburger and chips which were cold by now, but who cares I was starving.


All I wanted was to feed my growling stomach. But no, some blonde bitch thinks it would be funny to humiliate me. Now my food is cold, and to add the cherry on the top I don't even know where I am! Argh! Screw my life!


Then the impossible happened. My food was no longer cold, they were now hot.


What the holy hell! How is this even possible? 


So I don't only set things on fire, but I can also reheat things, great more extension to my weirdness! 


Unexpectedly. My phone started vibrating inside my jacket pocket, taking it out I realized Lilly had sent a message.


"Where are you?" The message read.


"I'm at some abandoned hotel." I typed then hit send, and in an instant, Lilly responded.


"That's the outskirt of town, how did you get there?" She messaged asking.


"I don't know, I was running and ended up here." I typed and sent it to her.


"I'm on my way." She responded.


With a sigh, I put away my phone. How did I get out here? I was only running, and I doubt I was running that fast, and even if I was there was no way I could run out of town?


It was almost nightfall when Lilly pulled up. Soon as she spotted me she climbed out of her car, making her way over with a worried expression on her face. 


"Hey, are you okay," Lilly asked embracing me into a bone-crushing hug.


"Yeah, umm I guess," I replied unsurely.


"Come on let's get you inside the car, you must be freezing," She said helping me to my feet.


Thereupon climbing into the passenger seat I thanked her. 


"So, what happened today?" She asked after starting the engine.


"I don't want to talk about it" I mumbled resting my head on the window of the car while silent tears rolled down my cheeks.


"You're going to be okay," Lilly muttered turning on the radio filling the silence with soft music.
