Chocolate Kisses - Mikki Tuttle (the reading strategies book .TXT) 📗

Chapter 1 ( Kali's P.O.V)

 

The crowded bus had pulled out of the Rosewell Highschool's driveway around 7 am.This was the beginning of a long and most likely tiring fieldtrip.I stared out of the window, my black studed ear phones in my ears, tuned out the noises.The sky was bright and the sun was high in the sky.I watched as we passed a lake that shimmmered with the orange color the sun had given it.I hugged my black sweater closer as I preassed my fingertips against the cold glass.Outside the bus was warm and bright, but inside the bus was cold, damp, eerie, and annoying.I agreed to go on this fieldtrip only because I didn't want to stay back with Mrs.Peatrics.She was my tormentor and when I was given the choice of course I picked the moldy bus.I sat back in my seat crossing my legs and sighed as I pulled out my phone.I cocked my head back and stared at the blank screen.

[Dead great.Not much more to do in this hell hole now.]

 I thought as the bus made a sharp turn down Elswood.All the kids on the bus including me were slammed against the walls of the bus as the demented driver quickly turned.Mister Notsinger stood up and placed a hand on the driver's shoulder.Slowly he bent down and whispered into his ear before returning to his seat.Danny, the class idiot, chuckled loudly and dugg his nails into the back of my seat as he spoke to his girlfriend Juliet.They both sat behind me and annoying laughed and giggled.I groaned and turned around, now on my knees peering over the back of my seat.

"Mind keeping barbie doll here quiet? Some people are trying to sleep." I said jokingly.

I hated the boys in our town so I never dated.Even when asked out I simply ignored them or decline cause they all had something in common.They were horny bastards who {last time I checked} weren't and never will be vampires.

"Oh sorry.I didn't know gothic vampire freaks slept.Thaught the stayed up all the time spotting "vampires".I'll try keeping Barbie quiet once you get a life." He responded.Juliet sat there laughing her head off like a twisted doll.

"And last time I checked, getting implants make you more of a whore and a fake then dating a dumdbass does.But yeah I'll get a life once she gets pretty and we both know thats never gonna happen." I spatt and plopped down into my seat.

I threw my back against the chair and crossed my arms as Juliet pouted."Well aren't you just the nicest emo slut there is?" She said quietly but not quiet enough for me not to hear.I got back up and smiled to her.

"Yeah I am the nicest, but atleast im not the dumbest bitch to walk the planet so Merry fuck mas!"

After a while she got up and moved to a seat somewhere in the back.Danny sat there and hissed before leaning over the back of the seat and grabbing my ponytail."

"You really are cute, but that screwed up attitude of yours could use some fixing.Maybe I'll change it for you.Give you the best time you ever had."He said snickering.

I turned around quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it around before smiling."And your the one whose gonna change it? Well lemme tell you something.How about you fix your jacked up face before trying to fix me, Kay babe? "After my rant I released his now purple wrist and sat back wishing this bus ride could end.

After about another hour or so the bus heeled to a stop.The driver stood and looked at us angerily."We are now here a Scarletwood's very own Chocolate factory."

With a nodding approval from the teacher he slammed his big fist down on the button that opened the door and sat down."Now get out!"

 After we all got off the bus and away from the driver, we stood infront of a set of big iron gates.Mister Notsinger walked up to the metal pager that hung on the wall and buzed us in.After about 5 minutes the doors creeked open and we walked in carefully.

Chapter 2

 

After expolring the large factory and walking through about almost every hall way,We stopped infront of the guide as he spoke.I stood in the back earphones in my ears tuning out everyone.After spotting a large brase door with a flower engravment, I snuck away from the crowd, slowly opened the heavy door and walked in.Inside the room was a large desk, a bookshelf, and a bunch of equipment.I walked around studying the large machines.I sighed and glided my hand against a dirtied glass.Suddenly, my head snapped toward the back of the room.Sitting on the desk was something the shined in the almost dark room.I walked to it and reached out to touch it, when the door I had come through was pushed open.Quickly I hid behind the tall bookshelf as the suspect walked in.I took deep shallow breathes as I pressed my back against the side of the bookcase.A deep voice entered the air as I lowered my ipod and slide down to where I was sitting on the ground.

"How much longer are those brats gonna be here.The night janitor will be here soon and we can't have them meeting."

I peeked out from behind the bookcase and spotted the guy you'd always see on the candybars the made here.I knew him as only Nicksin, but that was only a cover.

[Why can't we meet this janitor...And why is he...]

My thoughts were interupted by the sudden bang.Unknowingly I pushed hard against the bookcase, knocking over a glass vase.I gripped my ipod and held my breathe.

"Whose there!" Shouted the man as he walked over to my hiding spot.I heard his heavy boots echo closer as I stayed still."Show yourself"He called again.

When he got closer I shut my eyes and tried my best from running.When the footsteps stopped I noticed the door opened again.He walked back to the door and Danny stood there reaching to pick up the vases pieces."What are you doing here boy!"Shouted the man as he schooed Danny away.

"Rotten kids" He whispered before walking through the door and angerily shutting it.

I stayed there for a few more seconds before standing and peeking out from behind the book case.Seeing the cost was clear, I walked back toward the desk and stared at the object I saw ealier.I picked it up and shoved it into my pocket before sneaking back out the door.Standing in the empty hallway, I groaned as I checked the time.

[3pm Great.]

I was upset because the class had already left and more upset that noone remember,  leaving me in this weird place.I walked down the long hallway painted the same color as chocolate and walked into a room with stripes.Inside the room was a large row of packing machines that boxed the chocolate.

After walking into about 20 more rooms, I walked back into the hallway. I held my phone tightly, trying my best to get a signal.I reached into my pocket and pulled out the object i had stolen off the office desk.Once again it glowed brightly, showing off a pinkish color.You can notice it's glow more now , because the hallway had been dimmened and everyone, including Mister Nicksin had gone home.I slowly realized it was a stone, but have yet to figure out what the stone's name was.

 

Chapter 3

I have been trapped here for about two hours alone when someone buzzed themselves in.I hid behind a staue as they walked down the hall.The person was tall and had dark eyes. Halfway down the hall, he stopped and pointed his nose toward the statue, sniffing.

"I can smell you, so come out." He said in a deep seductive voice.

I stayed still and waited to see if he was joking. The footsteps resumed, as I stared down the other end of the hall. Suddenly a hand pressed into the side of the satue and he peered around the edge.

" I told you to come out." He said and starred me. I didn't move and slowly slid down until my hands freely touched floor."And don't think about running." He said as I shoved the stone into my pocket.

I stood and walked in front of him a few feet before spinning around facing him. "And who would run from you?" I said annoyed.

"Missy don't get an attitude.I was simply ask.." 

He spoke, I turned around and shoved my ear buds back into my ears before walking down the hall. He followed me, annoyed. After he caught up with me, he grabbed my shoulders turning me toward him.

"I wasn't done talking to you." He said starring at me.

"You may have had more to say, but I didn't so I was done listening." I said back and starred at him with unaffected eyes.

He growled showing his extremly sharp k-9's. " I doubt you're suppose to be here, so how about you tell me why you're here instead of annoying me."

"Annoying you? You're getting on my last nerves." I spat before slapping his hand away and turning down a hallway where I sat against a wall and took out my "Vampire kisses" book from my backpack. After putting on the "Radio Active" song by Imagine dragins, I starred as he came to where I was and kneeled infront of me staring at the cover of the book I was reading.

"So you're into vampires, eh?" He said. I looked up from the book and tilted my head. "Got an issue with it?" I asked.

He shook his head quickly.And after a moment of silence I went back to reading.Soon, when I realized he wasn't leaving, i looked up again. "Can i help you?" He looked at me and nodded. "You could answer my questions."

I rested my book on my lap and sighed. "And they were?"

"Who are you and why are you here." He repeated. I smirked and tilted my head."And this would make you happy?"

"Ecstatic." He said.I nodded and rolled my eyes, looking away. "My names Kali.. and I was left here."

He raised his eyebrow and starred at me. " Left here? By who?"

"I was with the fieldtrip ealier, and they forgot me." i responded.

"How can they leave a person?" He asked.

I looked down and sighed."I'm not that friendly, so of course no one would miss me."I answered

He shrugged and stood and
