Kaitlynn watched the clock in anticipation. 15 seconds 'til summer. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...the bell rang. Kaitlynn sprang from her seat, ignoring the fact that her count had been off. School was over for three months, that was all that mattered to her. She practically ran down the hall to her best friend, Rashel's were going window shopping with Keller, Jez, Poppy and Mary-Lynnette. Rashel wasn't at her locker yet. Kaitlynn checked the back staircase, only to see Rashel and her boyfriend Quinn in each others' arms. Kaitlynn felt a small pang of jealousy. Rashel and Quinn had somerhing deep, something meaningful. They were made for each other. All of her friends had that kind of guy, the kind of guy that would do absolutely anything for them if it made them happy. They were so much closer than just girlfriend-boyfriend. They called them soulmates. It seemed perfectly fitting in Kaitlynn's mind. Kaitlynn walked back to Rashel's locker, leaving them alone. Mary-Lynnette and her soulmate, Ash, leaned against the lockers.
"Hey Kaitlynn!" Mare shouted over the chaos in the halls. " I hope you don't mind if Ash, Galen, James and Morgead tag along!"
Kaitlynn shook her head as she came up naxt to them. "No. Thats fine by me." she lied through her teeth and flashed a fake smile. She had been hoping for just the girls to go. The guys always came no matter what. But she should've known that that was too much to ask for. She did her best to hide her disappointment.
Mary-Lynnette smiled. "Great!" she shouted. "Meet you at the Big Rock!" she shouted over her shoulder, leaving Kaitlynn there, alone with her bitter thoughts.
A few minutes after Mary-Lynnette and Ash left, Rashel came over with Quinn's arm around her. "Is it o-"
Kaitlynn cut her off. "I don't carer if Quinn comes...everyone else is already coming anyways."
Rashel seemed kind of shocked. "Ummm...okay...thanks." she adjuste her messanger's bag. "Let's go then." The three of them walked down the back staircase(Kaitlynn half expected them to start making-out again)and out the door to meet up with everyone else.
Just as the Big Rock(which is exactly what it sounds like for all of you idiots out there who want to critcize me for not being specific enough)Kaitlynn's cell phone rang:
"Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky
Hands up and
Higher than a mother f-"
Kaitlynn answered her cell, not bothering to check the picture that showed up on the screen. "Hello?"
"Hey Katie." Thomas's obnoxious voice called through the speakers.
"Hey Tommy." Kaitlynn replied, openly annoyed with him.
"When will you stop calling me Tommy?" Kaitlynn heard Thomas's aggravation rising.
"WHEN YOU STOP CALLING ME KATIE!" she screamed into the phone. She hung up, not wanting to hear any other stupid shit he might've had to say.
"What did Thomas want?" Jez asked, not even attempting to hide the pure hatred towards Kaitlynn's older brother that burned inside of her. She even spat as she said his name.
"Was he checking on his wittow sistow?" Ash asked in a baby voice that made Kaitlynn want to punch him square in the jaw.
"I don't know and I don't care." Kaitlynn said coldy as Mary-Lynnette kicked Ash in the shin.
James clasped his hands. "We should get going!" He shouted, moving the conversation in the other direction.
"YAY! MINIVAN!" Poppy shouted cheerfully, jumping up and down while clapping. She had been waiting for an excuse to drive her new minivan all week.
Everyone piled into the eight-seated van. Rashel sat on Quinn's lap, Mary-Lynnette on Ash's, and Jez on Morgead's so that it looked kind of like this:
Poppy James
Quinn and Rashel Kaitlynn Jez and Morgead
Galen Keller Ash and Mary-Lynnette
And, as you can see...Kaitlynn sat in the exact middle...of course. She felt so alone surrounded by all of these happy couples. Even Poppy and James held hands across the median.
James turned on the radio and some wierd sort of strangled gurgling sound came out of the speakers.
"Change it!" Everyone shouted in unison, except for Keller(and of course James and Poppy)who leaned over everyone with My Chemical Romance's Black Parade CD. Rashel, Jez, Keller and Kaitlynn sang along loudly.
"When I was
a young boy
my father
took me in to the city
to see a marching band
he said 'son when
you grow up
will you be
the savior of the broken
the beaten and the damned,'
he said,
'will you
defeat them
your demons
and all the non-believers
the plans that they have made
because one day
I'll leave you
a phantom
to lead you in the summer
to join the black parade...'
Around the part where it goes:
'...do or die
you'll never make me
because the world
will never take my heart
though you try
you'll never break me
we want it all
we wanna play this part'
Jez shouted, "Stop the car!"
Author's Note: I know this is short, but I used to write chapters a lot shorter. This was like four pages in my compositon notebook. I used to write like one page chapters. Also, notice how I coveniently stopped the quote from Nicki Minaj just before it said fucker. You probably won't see too much of that sort of shit anymore. Review please! If I get a review I'll post Chapter Two.
