Eek! It's been so long since I have posted anything on fanfiction, so I made this new account. While this isn't my first story, I'm still kind of new to the writing world, so please critique me in the nicest way possible! x3
Right now, it's all girls. But I'm going to add some guys in here. No worries. ;D
"What time is Rayne gonna get here? It's already a quarter past two, and I want to be able to get back before five so I can watch my shows!" whined Tori, a soon to be Freshman once school started back in exactly a month. Her hair was as orange as the cheesy puffs she was inhaling on the couch. She put her hair in a pony tail that went to her upper back, barely grazing the black long-sleeved shirt she was wearing. Her dark blue skinny jeans clashed against her pink flip flops and heavy black eyeliner.
"Just about any moment now. Hey… Are those my Cheese Puffs! Give them back!" her year older sister, Estel, cried as she ran to the couch from her bedroom, wearing a fresh green t-shirt with white shorts and her old favorite sneakers, her orange hair rested on her shoulders.
"They aren't your Cheese Puffs! Mom bought them for everyone," Tori noted as she passed her sister the half empty bag and sucked her fingers clean of the extra cheese debris on her hands.
"Can't we all just get along?" June sighed as she came out the bathroom, a friend the same age as Estel. She was changing into a dark blue tank top and jeans with paint drips over them. She was just fixing her curly dark brown hair into a pony-tail when Nova came out of the kitchen, munching on a celery stick.
"No, because if we all got along, you guys wouldn't need me to watch over you when Rayne wasn't here." stated Nova in between bites. She sat on the couch next to Tori, her best friend. She was the youngest of the bunch, the same age as Tori, but twice as smart as everyone else, and acted twice as old, too. Nova slipped on her dark blue flip flops that, unlike Tori's, matched with her dark purple t-shirt and light gray skinny jeans. Her blonde hair sat at her shoulders, also, with her side bangs resting.
Rayne was the groups soon-to-be senior best friend, who had lived next door to everyone since they could remember. Only last year did she moved to the neighboring city. While she still goes to the same school, the drive to their house still isn't what many people would call fun…
On the same couch as the two freshmen, Eden sat applying her pink eye shadow and lip gloss. Her dark brownish-black hair lay mid-back with this month's colored highlights: pink, and side bangs with a small skull barrette. She was attempting a punkish-look today, wearing a dark gray jacket hiding a light pink shirt with black jeans and Vans.
"How do I look today? Punky enough?" asked Eden as she played with her hair in the hand mirror in her hands and rearranging her red glasses.
"Aww, Eden, you'll always be our little wannabe," Claira giggled on the couch on the opposite side.
Claira laid on the couch, watching TV. She tugged on her red t-shirt and ran her fingers through her short wavy dark brown hair. She stood up to stretch, letting her shorts hang down.
"Estel, get me a soda. Pretty please~?" Claira cooed, letting a yawn out afterwards.
"No! It won't kill you to get it. You're a big kid," noted Estel as she sat down on the arm of the couch her sister was sitting on.
"But you're so much closer… And I'm the guest!" Claira insisted, whining.
"You've been coming here ever since second grade, you stopped becoming a guest after Elementary School," said Estel, winning the argument.
"Here, I'll get you a soda," June sighed again as she reached into the fridge and pulled out a fizzy drink. She tossed it over to Claira.
She giggled, "That's why I like June more then you, Estel."
"Yeah. Of course it is," she sighed.
"It's people like us that make me wonder if society isn-" Nova was smirking, but got interrupted by knocking on the door.
"Come in!" sang Tori, readjusting her flip flops as she stood up, getting ready to leave.
"Hey guys!" greeted Skylar
"Sorry we're late!" greeted Fayette.
Skylar and Fayette were twin sisters, sharing the same chestnut wavy mid-back hair and glasses. While Fayette (most commonly known as Fay) wore oval glasses and a dark blue jacket covering a white tank top with dark blue jeans, Skylar (better known as Sky, however) wore rectangular glasses and a green jacket covering a light brown tank top with black jeans.
"Just be glad Rayne isn't here yet… Because we were gonna leave you behind," Tori noted and took her flip flops off once more.
"No, because I wanted Fay's opinion on this purse I was gonna get," remembered Eden as she finally put her mirror away. "If it didn't look good on me, I thought it'd look so cute on you!"
"Thanks, Eden, but… I don't really wear purses," Fay put out kindly, sitting on the couch next to her. Sky jumped on the couch next to Fay. Just as she was getting comfortable, Estel's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Rayne! Where are you, we've been waiting for almost thirty minutes!" Estel paused. "No way! This sucks! Well… I guess you can't help it. Oh well, can you call us when it gets fixed? Cool! Thanks! Bye, and good luck, girl!" she let the phone snap shut.
"So… Rayne got a flat. She can't take us to the mall, it turns out," sighed Estel as she got up off the couch, walking to her room.
"Hey, where are you going!" Tori asked, getting up from her spot.
"I'm going to my room to watch TV. No mall, girls," said Estel with shoulders slouched.
"Nuh-uh!" Eden got up and put her purse on. "It's not even two miles from here, we can walk!"
"I don't mind the walk, but it's Summer! It's like, a hundred degrees out with barely any clouds!" Claira argued.
"Well… I really want that purse! Come on, I know you wouldn't let me go by myself. Not in this weather," Eden puffed up her chest and walked out the door, leaving a blast of her strawberry perfume behind her.
"I'm not going out for her," Estel whined. She walked back to her bedroom and closed the door.
"Aw… Come on! It's not that bad. I'll see you later!" chirped June as she walked over to the door, following Eden's path.
Sky and Fay looked at each other, with Fay tipping her head to the door. Sky nodded, and up they went to the door, willing to catch up with Eden.
Nova sat in quiet before finally saying: "…I better make sure they don't get in any trouble," and walked out the door.
"Don't leave me with my sister!" cried Tori as she put her shoes on and followed her friends.
"Tori! Mom said I have to look over you!" Estel spoke from her bedroom, after hearing the front door close. She sighed and grabbed her coat, opening the door to leave.
"See if you can get me something while your gone," Claira called from the couch, making Tori turn back around.
"Claira! This is my house. Come on," spoke the ginger, waiting as the whining and complaining Claira put her sneakers on and followed everyone else.
June jumped ahead of the others, and Eden hummed a song next to her, leading the way. The other six were too busy complaining of the heat and sweat that they didn't realize when the concrete sidewalk turned into dirt. Neither did they realize that the cloud-free sky turned gray of rain clouds on the way. Only when the first drop of rain landed on Claira's head (who was lagging behind the group as her way of pouting) the rain came pouring soon after.
"Anyone have an umbrella?" cried Tori as she placed her sleeves over head.
"Yeah, I always carry one around in my back pocket!" Nova replied, following Tori's movement.
"We're at the halfway point, it'll take too long to get home or to the mall," Fay noted as she took her jacket off and wrapped her arms in it. She then placed it over her head and proved herself with a canopy. Sky and Eden copied.
"It's just a little rain. It can't hurt us," said Estel with arms crossed.
A lightening bolt pierced the sky, making everything flash for a moment. Thunder followed a millisecond later, making several of the girls scream.
"You can tell the distance of a bolt by the time difference of the lightening and thunder. Judging by this… It's really close!" remarked Nova who actually looked scared for a moment.
"Rain's not bad, but I'm not ready to die this way!" Sky cried as another bolt appeared.
For an odd reason, June's eyes traveled to the right, revealing a large gray building in the middle of the field.
"Hey! Look at that! I think it can hold us for a few hours, right?" she asked, pointing to the building. Everyone murmured a positive note, and off they ran.
"Isn't it illegal to enter a place without permission?" asked Fay as the group got to the entrance of the building. It had taken them several minutes to run, and the rain was falling down as hard as ever.
"It's only illegal if you get caught," Tori smirked as she picked the door with Eden's credit card. It opened seconds later.
"How come I don't remember this place?" Claira asked; her eyes searched the place as best as it could in the dark.
"Yeah, I don't ei-," started Estel, but an even larger lightning bolt came along, striking a generator, making it miraculously turn on. All the lights overhead turned on, revealing a building that was easily a mile long. The entire building stood empty, however; a small wooden desk that held a computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A system unit lacked.
Yet again, another bolt stroke. This time the computer screen lit up in blue.
"I might not have passed computer class, but doesn't a computer need that big box thing to operate?" Claira asked, slowly walking up to it.
"It's called a system unit… And yeah, you do," answered Nova with eyes growing wide.
"I wonder what's wrong with it?" asked Claira once again. She was up to the computer and jiggled the mouse. In half of a second, she disappeared.
The other girls screamed and huddled together.
"What just happened?"
"Where's Claira?"
"I think we should just go home now!"
"…She bored me anyways."
"Enough!" Estel shouted. She walked away from the group and got closer to the computer. She squinted and eyed each corner of it. Being satisfied that nothing looked out of place, Estel let out a big sigh and slowly reached for the mouse.
"Estel, no!" cried Tori who reached for her sister's arm.
"Tori!" Nova complained who went to follow Tori, and fell in the process. Her fall resulted in June, Eden, and the twins to go to help her up.
For one split second, everyone was touching someone who was, in a near impossible way, technically touching Estel by way of link. When Estel touched the mouse, everyone poofed with her.
I'd love love love any reviews or comments! :D
