Don't let people drive you crazy
When you know it's in walking distance.

It was a Wednesday Night & Lucinda was sitting in her room. She could hear shouting & banging from Downstairs
Elle's POV
I take it the Freaky Fitzgerald's from next door are here again
I thought to myself.
This is the usual procedure when they
Come over to discuss "matters" as I am told.
I was bored. I went to the balcony door &
Opened it to reveal the beautiful summer night.
As I walked out I admired the view
The scenery was beautiful as the sizzling orange sun set on the beach.
I liked to come out here & sit on my deck chair
To think things through & clear my head.
It was calm & peaceful
That was unless…
A sudden thudding noise began.
… He is home listening to music
Or practicing with his band.
I hadn't spoke to Lucas since my 3rd birthday.
I never quite understood why.
All I've been told is "he's trouble"
Lucas POV
Urgh she is out again.
Her long blonde hair & slim frame.
She thinks her family is so much better than mine.
"Il show her" I mumbled to myself.
Then I put on my CD player full blast
& then I plugged in my Speakers & Amplifier in.
It wasn't long til she moved her skinny but back inside.
I don't even know why my parents go over there.
What "matters" do they have with THEM?
Elle's POV
Next morning came
A buzz sound was sent through my room.
I turned on my side & turned off the alarm clock.
She then looked at it as it read 06:00
I went to open my purple floor length curtains.
I looked out at the gloomy sky.
With the streaks of rain running down her window.
" O great of all days to have to walk to school "
I mumbled
While I was standing there my eyes glanced towards HIS window
I Saw his dark brown curtains still pulled
I got myself ready for our first day back after summer.
Again I glanced outside
"It seems summer was so long ago"
Elle sighed to herself.
As I left the bedroom.
I walked downstairs & grabbed my bag.
Finally I was out the door & I met my best friend Allison
But I called her Sonny.
"Hey Sunny" I greeted her
She grumbled back
This wasn't her normal reaction
Something must have happened over the summer.
I knew I'd get it out of her later.
We started walking in the rain which was still pouring down
Just as heavy as it had been when she got up.
By the time we got to school we were drenched.
My blonde silky hair which
I spent an hour doing this morning was dripping
& strands of hair had fallen out of the style I had tried.
As I got inside I approached my locker
I hear someone talking behind me but pay no notice.
I carry on for a minute.
But then I felt a pair of cold hands
crawling up my soaking wet top which was sticking to me.
The cold hands then forcefully turned me around
& pushed me against my locker.
& I came to face Kyle the school Bully
By now I was terrified.
"Good-morning Lucinda
Hope you had a good summer.
Oh it seems you are wet so how about we get you out of those wet clothes"
Kyle grinned
Then he forcefully tried to kiss me.
I couldn't hold him back much more
He was far to strong for me.
I gave in & flinched.
But before Kyles lips came crashing onto me.
I blinked.
When I opened my eyes Lucas was holding Kyle by the back of the neck
"Leave her alone …. GOT IT!"
Lucas said in a rough tone.
Kyle scarpered away.
"You okay?" Lucas asked me seeming genuine
I was still in utter shock
" Ye…Yea… I ..I … think ..so"
I struggled to get my words out
I must be dreaming it thought to myself
Then I looked down
By the time I raised my head he was gone
"I never even got to say thank-you" I said to myself
Seems he's not the self conceited jerk I thought he was…
Whats this was I starting to fall for Freaky Fitzgerald?
No way .. I Couldn't be ….
But I was.
