Mickey

Mickey Darling was the daughter of three and the second oldest. Mickey

grew up in the same neighborhood as, Gil, Casey, and Julian. Gil parents had the

biggest house in the neighborhood, then, Casey, Julian, and last Mickey. Mickey was of mixed heritage.

Her thick curly black hair, wide mouth, brown eyes, and small nose made her appearance quite unique.

Her mother was a tall Caucasian woman with blue eyes. Her father was a tall African American man with long thick black hair that he wears pulled in a ponytail. Mickey parents were modest, they had money but didn’t flash it. She had two hard-working parents and growing up they made sure it always something to eat in the house. Having

parents who worked a lot and younger siblings who wanted to go to grandpa’s

when they worked over.

Mickey was home a lot with her twin brother but most times she would normally hang out with Casey, or Halsey. She would hang with Gill if he wasn’t busy playing basketball. Julian was a geek; this guy was brilliant therefore, he was always in his library at home. He was the student body president, so he had to

keep up the appearance. Mickey could never, too many responsibilities and she didn’t

have time for all that. She would rather relax in her bed and read manga or draw.

Casey on the other hand, she would be painting her nails, jamming to

music and talking on the phone. We were a weird bunch of friends who had

nothing in common, besides the tight bond we shared. We’re all smart too but Jillian just

by far the smarter, and it no sugarcoating.

We had each other’s back at any time, and that was real. Now that Gill

was so-called inside his game which proof was needed that he was beside the

voicemail he left. She could go back to Gill’s place and look for clues but

after that disturbing phone call. Mickey wasn’t so inclined to go to his place alone

, especially at night. The truth was she had to know who called him and threaten her.

Parking her red Mazda 3 sedan behind her mother’s Mercedes SUV. Mickey

took off her seat belt, locked her car and headed inside the five-bedroom white

Bungalow. Since she knew her mother set the alarm at 12’o clock. Mickey shot a

quick text to her brother so he could deactivate the alarm.

Mickey could hear footsteps and the front door open. Her brother was standing there, looking disheveled his hair was flying in all directions and his pajama top was buttoned wrong. “Come inside Mickey

before the flies comes in said Michael in a grumpy voice like he was tired. Walking

in past Mic the nickname Mickey gave Michael when they’re younger. “Where was their

little brother Cam he was supposed to deactivate the alarm system. Acting like a

mind reader, Michael said, Cam went to sleep so he told me to let you in."

It must be a twin thing for Mic to always know what she was thinking

before she said it aloud. “Thanks, Mic.” “Is … Before she could finish her question, Michael

was already saying no. “You don’t even know what my question is?” “Is mother

and father up?” My exact question. No point and arguing with Mic when she was tired, “I’ll going to bed now.” “Excuse me, Mic.” "Why are you heading to bed so fast?" Mickey glanced back at Mic. "I'm tired Mic, let's talk in the morning."

"Okay." After, taking her clothes off, Mickey threw her tired body on the bed. Her comfortable queen-size bed.

Hugging her pillow toward her chest Mickey groans. Why was Gill in this situation. How could he be stuck in a game of all things. It was bizarre and a little over the top to be honest. Maybe it was a dream and she will wake up and Gill will be at school in the morning.
