Hi, and thanks to anyone who bothered to click on this! Anyway, this is my new story.
Before we start, I'm going to give you a description of Skylar White.
She's 5'6, and she loves to sing. She plays a lot of instruments but she prefers her voice. She's very outgoing, doesn't really care what people think about her type of girl. So, basically like Stella. Except, she's a little more 'crazy' if you know what I mean. She has to move in with Olivia and her grandmother because of certain reasons which will be revealed as we go. She's not really quiet at all. Throw in Ray Beech who won't stop giving her a hard time and you've got yourself a messed up, yet awesome, love story.
Olivia's POV
"Olivia, will you come here please?" I hear my grandmother's jolly voice ring in my ears. Lemonade Mouth was in the middle of rehearsing when she called. (They aren't famous yet. I'm going to make them famous in a completely different way.) "Coming, gram!" I yell. I put the microphone back and say to the band, "I'll be right back,"
I exit the room and find gram in the living room petting wennie, the cat Wen gave us. Yeah, I named it after wen. There's nothing wrong with that, he was flattered. "I have big and important news!" she said waving her arms around dramatically.
"What is it?" I asked a bit worried. I don't know why I'm worried, by the look on her face it's good news. "Sit down, dear." I sit and look at her expectantly. "Oh right. I just got a call from your aunt. Remember your aunt Isabelle?" I nod and gesture for her to continue.
"Well, her sister's daughter, your cousin, needs a place to stay. She can't stay with them and I happily agreed for her to come and stay here!" she says happily. Someone new in the house? How old is she? How come I've never met her?
"What's her name?" I asked gram, she smiled. "Her name is Skylar, she's going to be starting eleventh grade with you this September." she smiled. So she's about sixteen or seventeen. It's about time! Don't get me wrong, love living with gram but it's hard to talk to her about things of this generation without her getting confused.
Sure, I have the band. But, they don't live with me and aren't easy to access. I'm actually really excited. Wait. What if she's mean? What if she doesn't want to be here? What if she doesn't like me?!
"Gram, do you think she'd like me?" I asked, worried. "Of course! What's not to like?" I laugh and sigh. "Now, I don't want to keep your friends waiting. Go back to them and don't you worry about a single thing." I smiled and hugged her.
As I walked back to the backyard I heard Wen's laughter. He has such a cute laugh. I smile and exit the house. "Hey guys! I"m back." they all turned their heads to face me. Stella spoke up, "What'd gram need?" that's how close we are, we all call her gram now. "You guys will never guess what just happened?!" I said, getting excited all over again.
"You won the lottery?" Charlie asked, a hopeful expression on his face. "I wish. But no. My cousin Skylar is moving in with me!" Charlie looked dissapointed, "That's awesome. Is she going to be in our grade?" asked Mo. "Yeah, gram said she has nowhere else to stay." They all gave me confused glances.
"Why not?" asked a confused, and adorable, Wen. "I don't know. I didn't ask." Now, I'm curious. "That's weird." We all agreed.
"We should get back to practice." I said finally, standing up.
*1 week later*
Skylar's POV
I know it's rude to stare but when you're as socially awkward as me it's the only thing you can do when meeting new people. This is a great example of it. Olivia stood before me her arm out waiting for me to shake it and I'm here staring at her as if she'd grown a second head.
I slowly, and cautiously, shook her hand. I could tell she was confused at my whole staring thing. But, I guess she'll have to deal with it. "I'm Skylar." I replied. Here's the thing about me. I, Skylar White, am different. I'm weird. I just don't like the whole ordinary, normal thing going on for everyone else.
People find it hard to 'understand' me and I get that. One second I'm socially awkward and can only stare and the next I'm yelling at a stranger because they did something that pissed me off.
I just thought I'd let you know. You know, so you don't get confused.
Aunt Isabella had just dropped me off at Olivia and my grandma's house a couple minutes ago. I'm now inside their house, on the couch, with five pairs of eyes staring directly into my soul. Grandma and Aunt Isabella are in the kitchen discussing... life, I guess.
"Can you guys stop staring at her? Gosh, give the girl some space." the girl with the cool hair said. They all leaned bacl into their seats and lessened their stares. But not by much. "Okay, well. These are my friends. That's Stella, Mo, Charlie, and Wen." I just nodded. "You're really awkward." the dude with the long hair, which I guess is Charlie, said.
"Well, I wouldn't be this awkward if you'd stop looking like you just crapped your pants." As soon as those words left my mouth, I instantly regreted them. They all stared at me in shock, probably because they thought I couldn't talk.
Out of nowhere, the girl, Stella, starts laughing her ass off. Everyone quickly joins her and I'm here. Being the awkward human being I am. Just staring at them laugh. I start to giggle but then stop myself.
Did you guys know that Olivia snorts? It's fucking hilarious. "I like you." Mo states waving her finger at me. I thank her, and giggle at Olivia's snorts. "Anyway, we were all thinking if you'd like to come to Dante's with us?" Olivia asked me after she was done snorting.
"Is Dante another one of your friends?" I asked. She looked confused for second before quickly saying, "Oh, no. Dante's is a pizza place we like to go to." I smile, "Sure. I love pizza."
*At the pizza place(still Skylar's pov)*
The waiter came ten minutes after we ordered with our pizza. I've learned in these ten minutes that they are in a band, that Stella is a vegiterian, Mo's dad doesn't even know about their band, and that Wen dislikes olives. But I'm pretty sure he likes Olivia. See what I did there? Olive, Olivia... yeah, nevermind.
"Foooooood." I said without thinking as I saw our pizza making it's way over to the table. They laughed at me and all took a slice as soon as the pizza arrived. We were having fun, talking, and getting to know each other. I heard Stella groan in annoyance. "What's wrong?" Olivia asks her. She nods over to the entrance of the pizza place and I see the two hottest guys I've ever seen.
"Holy fucking shit." I say as I turn to face them. "What?" Wen asks, "They're hot." I answer with ease. They erupt into a chorus of 'ew' and 'that's not cool' and an 'I'm hotter' from Charlie. I giggle at what he says and turn back to face them. "Why do you guys not like them?" I ask curiously.
"Because they're jerks." Dissapointment is all I could feel. Why is it a rule that all hot guys have to be jerks? "And idiots. And let's not forget selfish. Oh and-" Mo cuts off Wen, "Wen! Stop it." she smacks his arm to emphasize her point.
The two hot jerks soon spot us and glare. I'm guessing they hate eachother. They start making they're way over to our table. The one with the blonde hair puts his hands on the table and leans in. "I see you guys somehow managed to get a new friend." he stated. Wow, he is a jerk.
"She's Olivia's cousin." Charlie says and Wen smacks his head. "Ow." Charlie whispers at him while holding his head. "Oh, so you're basically obligated to hang out with them?" he asks turning to me. I glare at him, this is no time to be awkward. "No, I'm pretty sure I came here willingly." he looks confused for a second.
"Why?" he asks scratching the back of his neck, he looked really cute but I decided to ignore that. "Because, unlike you, they're pleasant to be around." I stated. I heard 'oohs' coming from the people behind me.
"You don't mean that. Well, I have much more better places to be than here with you guys." and with that he started walking away but not before I yelled after him, "You have horrible grammar!"
I sat down with a 'huff' and crossed my arms. Stella held her hand out for a high five. I slapped her hand and they erupted into laughter.
*First day of school*
I walked into the hallway of Mesa high with Olivia by my side. "You nervous?" she asked me, I turned to look at her. "Not really." I answered truthfully. "Well, obviously not since you've already made friends." she whispers as we dodge some seniors heading the opposite way. "Just a little heads up, now that you're hanging out with us Ray is probably going to bully you a lot. Just don't let that jerk get to you, okay?" she said.
I nodded, and headed towards my locker that was three lockers down from Olivia's. I opened it with ease and stuffed my bag into it. I grabbed a notebook, pencil, and high-lighter. That's all I really need anyway. "What's your first class?" Olivia asks me. "Science." I reply.
"Mainville?" she asks, I check the teacher's name and nod. "You have that class with Stella and Charlie." I smile at the mention of their names. "Cool." the bell rings, "I'll see you later." she says and we quickly hug.
I walk over to room 234. Mrs. Mainville's room. I walk in and the first thing I notice is Stella standing on the desk, dancing. I laugh at her and walk over to the empty seat next to her. "Hey, look who's here!" Charlie says and gives me a hug. "Hey Charlie, hey Stella." Stella jumps off the table and crushes me in a hug.
"Why were you dancing on the desk?" Charlie asks, mirroring my thoughts. "Why not?" Stella shrugs and sits on the chair. He laughs and sits next to her.
*Fast forward to third period*
The bell rings and I get out of my seat, intending on getting to third period. I quickly stop by my locker to get a new pencil because I may or may not have thrown mine across the room in attempt to hit Ray with it. He diserved it anyway.
"Hey babe, here's your pencil." Ray says, showing up out of nowhere. "Don't call me that." I say, even though he's a jerk and I hate him, I could still feel the blush on my cheeks. "Why not? Does it make you all happy and giddy inside?" he asks inching closer.
"No." lies. "Of course it doesn't." I glared and tried to grab my pencil but he held it out of my reach. "Nice try." I tried again, "You almost got it!" his voice is making me angrier by the second.
"Almost got it, babe." he said emphasizing the last word. I blushed and I guess as revenge, or maybe so he wouldn't call me that, I pulled my fist back and punched him where the sun don't shine.
He grunted and held his, um, crotch. And, thankfully, dropped my pencil. All this for a pencil? Who cares? Punching him in his manhood felt good. It helped me get my anger out. What if he can't have babies? I started panicking.
I calmed down, grabbed my pencil, and just to piss him off, "Thanks babe." and left with a kiss on his cheek. I laughed and headed towardss my third period class. It was a good thing the halls were empty and nobody witnessed what just happened. I then realized that my third period class was on the other side of the school and I had about a minute to get there. And it's also then that I realized that Ray is in my third period class, and my fourth. Dammit.
*Lunch*
I walked into the cafateria with Ray trailing behind me. I'm pretty sure everyone in the room could here our yelling. "It's not my fucking fault." Ray said for the millionth time. Of course it's his fault.
"Yes it is!" I said throwing my hands up in the air. "No, it is not." he said crossing his arms and staring at me.
"It is."
"It's not."
"It is."
"It's not."
"It is."
"It's not"
"It is."
"It's not."
Before I could speak, Stella came up to us and seperated us. "You're lucking Stella showed up. I would've punched your manhood again." I said with a glare. He smirked, "You just can't get enough of my 'manhood', can you?" my mouth fell open.
"Ew, that's disgusting." I said with a look of horror on my face. "You're only saying that because Yamada is here." I glared at him. "No, I'm saying it because it's disgusting."
"Yeah, I'm going to take her now." Stella says to Ray. He nods at her as if to acknowledge what she just said. He then turned to me and said, "See ya later, baby." I groaned.
Stella looked at me with a raised eyebrow and her arms crossed over her chest. I ignored her look and walked to the others. She quickly came after me and just as I sat down she announced to them, "Ray called her 'baby'. What are we going to do about that?" I glared at her and she smiled at me innocently.
"He called you what?!" Mo asked, or yelled. "Stay away from him, Skylar." Olivia says to me. I sigh and nod. It's not that I want to be around Ray but it's a bit annoying how they're telling me who I can and can not hang around with.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it." I said waving my hand as if to dismiss it. They quickly changed the subject. Even though they were happily discussing Muse, one of my favorite bands, I couldn't get Ray out of my head. Before you be all like 'aww, she likes him'. I'm thinking about ways to murder him. Kay?
