Calista Devellis Chapter 5

"Hi Calista." Calista looked over at Lui with a bored expression.
"Hey." She said. He gave her a confused look and crouched down.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"What's right? I'm irritated and I was put back on those stupid green pills." She rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat, facing him with her arms crossed.
"Pills for what?" Lui was treading carefully, even a stranger could tell. Suddenly Calista started to laugh.
"Isn't it obvious?" Her voice dropped again and she seemed to hold her self down in the seat.
"uh... no..." Calista smiled. It was a terrible smile, almost psychotic. She leaned in really close to Lui and as she spoke her head twisted multiple ways.
"I'm two-Faced." She laughed again and sank back down in her seat. "I'm the basket case of the world!" Soon she quieted down.
"Sorry?"
"Of coarse I'm sorry. I can't pick and choose when she comes out. Why do you think I'm dubbed "the wanderer" around here? It's because I am an Othello piece." Calista tried to slow down her pulse in an attempt to hide when she switched. "This town isn't normal. It's not real per se, it's full of whack jobs who can hide things. Even the happiest people have problems."
"There's more to it, isn't there?" Lui stared at her and spoke without hesitation.
"What more do you want to know? Do you want to know that I had a goth phase? That these pills are gone from my bag? I refuse to take them. let's just say I lost them and keep this conversation to ourselves hmm?"
Lui looked at her for a minute and then asked, "Are we all really outcasts?"
"Yes. Hey, Do you hear that singing?"
"Yeah it's a song from Frozen. uh, Shen had it playing when we went to his cafe. I imagine he can hear it right now."
"He probably has his face smashed up against a window trying to listen, and his nostrils are all flared up."
"People are probably leaving without paying or changing the channel to the news station again."
"Haha Totally! And San and Wang are most likely the ones doing it!"
They laughed until the bell rang and people sat down for class. A few people threw them dirty looks before the teacher came in but Calista smiled it off. She seemed alot happier until the teacher stood before the class with a grim look on her face.
That's when Calista heard the news.
Alex was being hospitalized.
