"What do you mean you can't go, you have to it's like the biggest party of the year?" My Best Friend Jane asked as we walked through the halls of the school putting up posters for student council, as the vice president it was my job to make sure that all the new students knew of the council as soon as the year started. I had spent most of the last week of school making posters with the president.
"Mom and Dad have a dinner party they have to go to that night so I have to watch Abby," I told her as I grabbed a piece of tape she had stuck to her hand. "Besides Jane, we weren't even invited to go, Alex was and you know it's just because they want to make a fool out of him,".
"Yeah that's why he needs us there, I want my brother to be comfortable now that he's come out and your dumbass crush and his buddies are going to make it hell for him," Jane said sadly. Her twin brother Alex had just come out as gay at the end of the summer. Jane and I had known for a while but he wanted to tell his parents before he told everyone else. Their mom had taken it a lot better then their dad had, Alex hasn't spoken to his father since summer started three months ago.
"He's not a dumbass Jane," I defended. Jacob Black, the captain of almost every school sport, the jock, the player, and the guy who had captured my heart. He had big brown eyes that seem to be a bottomless pit, black hair that I wanted to run my hands through, and a mussled body I wanted to climb like a monkey and never let go...no wait that's weird...never mind. Anywho I had met Jake in grade 5 when the school he was going to got shut down and his parents transferred him here. He had become Mr. Popular almost two weeks later and almost every girl wanted him on their arm and every guy wanted to be him. I will admit that the popularity had gotten to Jake's head and he had become somewhat of an asshole but I knew I could change him, if he only gave me a chance.
"Sam are you even listening to me?" Jane yelled, bringing me out of my day dream, but as she did that I ran into someone and dropped the posters I had been carrying, making them fly everywhere. I quickly bent down and picked them up with the help of some of the other council members who were in the hallway around us.
"Watch where you're going klutz," The howl-like voice of my least person said. I looked up to see none other than Tanya, who was flanked by Leah and none other than my least favorite cousin Sarah. I stood up and just looked at them.
Uncle Logan had finally moved his family to Seattle after Papa was shot in the line of duty. It had hit him in shoulder and hadn't done too much damage but Nana made him retire once he recovered. Uncle Logan wanted to be near his family just incase something were to happen again. At the beginning to 7th grade, their first year here, Sarah, Lily and I had all been friends but once Sarah met Tanya she started acting differently and soon she started making fun of us like Tanya and Leah did and before I knew it we avoided each other like the plague when ever we could. Lily also spent as much time as possible at my place in order to avoid her sister. Of course Uncle Logan and Auntie Brooke knew of this and often had to punish the girls when they fought at home.
I was about to say something when Jane grabbed my arm and pulled me away towards our next class.
"So not worth it," Jane mumble as she pulled me into the classroom just as the warning bell went off. Kids had started to file in and sit down near their friends. I smiled when Alec walked in, starbucks cup in hand.
"Girl you will not believe what I just overheard in the hall," Alec said sitting down at the lab table beside me.
"Oh and what would that be?" I asked not really caring for the gossip but decided to humor Alex.
"So apparently Mr. Popular was busy this summer, because apparently he got some collage girl prego at some party, and apparently he paid the girl to have an abortion," Alec said.
"What, no way that's impossible," I said.
"Don't hold your breath girly, Mr. Popular is Mr. Whore too, I wouldn't put it past him," Jane said, Alec nodded beside her.
"So anyway bitches what's the wardrobe for this Friday?" Alec asked.
"Don't bother, Ms. Responsible here has to baby-sit," Jane said pointing to me.
"WHAT, you have to come, this might be our only chance to go," Alec cried.
"Yeah well unless we all want to start taking the bus to school again, I have to babysit in order to keep my car," I told them as the late bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom.
-After School-
"So tell me again why you like that idiot/man-whore/asshole," Jane said as we walked through the parking lot towards my car. Jake was making out against his car with some freshmen. I had to admit that it made me cringe when we could hear the girl moan.
"He has nice hair," I told her, she rolled her eyes and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of her backpack. "Nuh uh, you can't have that in my car,".
"Come on Sammy, I havn't had one since third period," Jane said as she lit one. She had picked up the disgusting habit last year when she stole a pack of her dads and smoked it at a party. She was normally good about only one a day but today her nerves were shot worrying about her brother.
"No Jane, I don't want it smelling of smoke again, I just got the smell out from last time," I said, all while unlocking my car and opening the trunk for us to drop our bags in.
"Fine whatever," She said and stubbed out what was left of it and blowing the last of the smoke from her mouth. "So how do you think Alec's day was?".
"I think he's doing quite alright," I told her and nodded towards where Alec walked out of the school, a flock of girls around him as they gossiped about god knows what. Alec was the first gay kid in our school to come out and all the girls who wanted the gay best friend would always flock him, trying to get him to hang with them, but Alec was loyal and refused to abandon our group of friends.
"Later Bitches," Alec said in a high pitched voice towards the group of girls who giggled thinking he was joking but Jane and I knew very well that he was serious. He threw his bag into the trunk of my car and stood beside his sister.
"So where's Snow White and the lone dwarf?" Jane asked referring to Lily and Caleb. The elementary school was across the road from the high school and Lily would normally go over to meet with Caleb before meeting at my car.
"I think my Aunt was picking them up today, let me just text Lily," I said pulling out my Iphone 5. Dad had offered to get me the 6 but I refused saying that I didn't need something that big and with all the rumors about them bending in your pocket I didn't want to risk it since I normally ended up taking my cases off, hence my shattered phone screen I have now.
Once I confirmed that Lily had a ride I drove Alec and Jane to their part time jobs. Alec worked at a Starbucks, no surprise there since he was drinking that stuff like water most days, and Jane worked about two blocks from him at the local day care. I know Jane is a hardass but she has the biggest soft spot for kids and the kids at the daycare loved her.
I drove to the hotel and parked behind it in the reserved parking spot. I walked in through the service door and changed quickly into my waitress uniform. Two years ago mom had a new restaurant built and since then I had been working part time there after school and in the summer.
"Ah Sammy, how was school?" Monica asked me as she walked into the staff change room. Monica was a good friend of mine here, she was the only one who could really stand me as a kid.
"It was good, have you seen my mom?" I asked.
"She's in her office with your sister, she still running a fever and refused to leave your mom's side for most of the day," Monica said. I nodded and walked out of the change room and towards my mom's office. Abby had come down with a last minute summer fever a few days ago and was to sick to go to school, she becomes very clingy when she's sick and normally mom would have to carry her around for most of the day.
As I walked up to the door I heard mom talking to someone and assumed she was doing an interview for the new chief. She'd be able to see I clocked in for work if she needed to come find me later and I went off to work in the restaurant.
