Woo! My first fanfic! So, tell me what you think! Towards the middle and the end, I got really tired, so if there's a word misspelled, please don't eat me. I'm a good cookie! Haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

...
I stretched out on the sofa and yawned. "Thanks, man, for letting me crash here." I said with a smile. "You've got no clue what it's like over in the hell hole." I said. "My parents, man...I dunno why they were yelling and cursing me out, ya know? It's not like I did anything. I've got a job, and I pay for my own gas, and I do as they ask! Why kick me out of the house?" I asked.
My friend looked down at me. "I don't know...maybe the fact that they don't like your music?" She said.
I shrugged. "I like my music." I yawned and looked around. "Hey, thanks again, man." I said.
"No problem." She said. She grabbed my only bag from the floor and slid it under a table. "What time do you need to get up for work? I'll wake you up."
"Thanks, Winter." I said.
Winter nodded. "So, what time to wake you up?" She asked.
I looked at my cell phone. "Hm...6:30 AM?" I asked. "Evan's friend just passed, and he needs me to cover his shift this morning."
Winter smiled. "You're a good person."
"Don't worry, he's paying me." I said.
Winter sighed. "And once I thought you weren't doing anything for money."
"Hey, at least I'm not selling myself." I said. "I just do stunts."
Winter frowned and looked away. "Careful.." She said. Her ice blue eyes looked painful. Her right eye was covered with her bangs, and her left eye wasn't. Under her bangs, she bore a long scar from her eye brow to her cheekbone. "Don't do anything too dangerous." Her emo cut hairstyle was a little messy, mostly because she had walked home from the boardwalk, and it was a little windy outside.
I nodded. "I won't do anything dumb."
Winter glared at me. "I didn't do anything wrong, I just...saw something...that I wasn't supposed to..."
I tilted my head. "Why won't you tell anyone?"
"Because...everyone would think I'm insane." Winter said. She shook her head. "It doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is that it's over with, and I don't want you to be hurt by others."
I smiled. "Thanks. You're a great person." I said.
She smiled. "No problem. Say, why don't you get yourself a boyfriend?" She asked.
I shrugged. "I have no use for one. I don't like having to watch over people." I mumbled. "I don't like being with someone for a long time. I like being a loner."
Winter frowned. "I think it's because you need some love." She said with a frown. She turned around and walked out to the stairwell. "I'll help you find the right person."
"I have no interest. Especially since most boys only care about one thing. They try that on me, I'm pulling out my knife and cutting-"
"My parent's are in the other room." Winter said.
"Oh, sorry. You know what I mean." I said with a laugh.
"Alright. Night Timber, I'll wake you up." She said and walked up the stairwell, turning the lights off in the living room so I could sleep.
"Night." I said. I yawned again and curled up in a tight ball. I cuddled up to the pillows, a little afraid of being seen trying to cuddle. No one would have guessed a person who likes to rock out and looks a little emo.
I fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes...
...
"Hey, Timber, wake up." A whispering said.
I yawned and opened my eyes slightly. I saw Winter. "Huh?" I asked.
"Work, you've got to get up for work." Winter said.
"Oh yeah.." I said and yawned again stretching. I sat up and looked around the living room.
Winter left the room and turned on the light to the kitchen, before going back upstairs to bed.
I laid on the sofa for a few minutes before actually getting up and heading to the kitchen for some breakfast. I grabbed an apple and began munching on it as I returned to the living room to go through my bag for a new pair of clothes. I pulled out my plain, white t-shirt, with a normal pair of light blue jeans. I picked up the clothes and headed to the bathroom. Once in, I closed the door and looked at myself in the mirror.
My eyes were big and brown. I looked like a puppy at times, but I could change in a second and become a beast. My hair was dark, thick and shaggy, going half way down my back. I usually kept it back in a loose pony tail. My face was narrow, and I was slim. I was unusually tall. I didn't put on any make-up or cover-up. I was who I was and I couldn't change that.
I got dressed into the clothes I picked out, and then left the bathroom silently. I turned off all the lights and slid my bag under the table again. I knew Winter would return it sooner or later, and if she didn't, it's not like I had anything good in it.
...
I stood in the electronics department of the large supermarket. I wore my vest with the store's logo on it to say that I was an employee. It was a slow day, and I was bored of playing the video games that were up for just testing out.
"Timber," a familiar voice said.
I turned around to see the head person of the department, Derick, standing next to an older lady. "Yes?"
"Can you help out this lady, please?" He said, the look of annoyance and something bothering him was shown clearly in his eyes.
I nodded. "Sure thing."
Derick gave a nod, then ran off towards the food department.
I turned towards the lady. "What is it that you need?"
She took a deep breath and began with, "I'm not sure what to get my grandson for his brithday."
I sighed. This ought to kill about an hour. I thought to myself. I put on a fake smile. "So, tell me what your son likes."
...
I took off my work vest as I exited the building. I folded it up and stuffed it in one of my huge pockets in my jeans. I walked a few minutes till I saw the bright lights of the boardwalk and smiled. I jogged the rest of the way to it.
I pulled out my phone as soon as I got on the boardwalk, and headed to a bench to sit. While sitting, I checked the time, 10:30 PM, and then sent Winter a text saying, "Where are you?"
After about five minutes of waiting for Winter to answer, I got up to get myself some dinner.
I walked down the busy boardwalk, avoiding eye contact with the people who I knew I shouldn't mess with.
"Timber!" I heard Winter's familiar voice echo throughout my ears.
I turned around to see Winter running with a few of her other friends. I gave a smile. "Hey!" I called.
They ran over to me excitedly.
Winter grinned. "Hey! Hope you didn't eat anything yet! We're gonna get some pizza! Want some?"
I nodded. "Sounds good!"
I followed my group of friends to a pizza parlor that wasn't too crowded.
Our waitress smiled and lead us to our seats, handing us each a menu. "I'm Sara." She said and left.
I tilted my head. "Sara the randome person apparently." I said. "Usually they say more, am I right?" I asked.
My smallest friend, Amber nodded. She was small, but outgoing. "Yes, I think they do."
We shrugged it off, and then decided to order a large pizza
After we ordered, we all waited, semi-patiently.
"So, there's five of us...so someone's only going to get one." Winter said.
Amber laughed. "Hey! Don't look at me! I may be small, but I can eat like a pig!"
We all laughed. Her bright, red hair and brown eyes stood out from the rest of us. Although I had brown eyes too, hers looked almost black.
Barbra, the only blonde of the group, had eyes like Winter's, a very light blue. She was a little heavy, but she was a good person.
Zena had brown and pink hair. She was the shyest of all of us, and didn't talk much. She did laugh a lot though.
"Hey," Winter said as she narrowed her eyes. "I think Timber is the only one out of all of us that doesn't have a boyfriend."
I lowered my head. "Yeah, I know. Wait, Amber? You got one?"
She nodded. "Yepo!"
I snorted. "I'm fine being alone."
"No! You need a guy to look out for you!" Barbra said.
I shook my head. "I don't need someone to look after me."
"That's upsetting." Zena said.
"I have an idea." Amber said with a smile. "Why don't we pick you out the perfect guy and you'll have to be with him for...hm...how long?"
"A month!" Barbra said.
"A week!" Zena pitched in.
"Two weeks." Winter said with a grin.
"No." I said and leaned back in the booth. "I have no interest." I narrowed my eyes and looked at Winter. "You planned this, didn't you?"
Winter laughed.
"We don't want one of our buds to be alone!" Amber said.
I lowered my head. "But I don't care for anyone."
"Not true!" Zena said.
"Well, you guys are like family!" I said. "I care for you guys!"
"So you care for someone!" Barbra said with a laugh.
I moaned and slammed my head on the table. "How'd this come up, anyway?"
"Random topic." They all said together.
"Well, we like talking about our boyfriends!" Amber said. "But you don't have one! Come to the dark side!" She said with a laugh.
"Tell you what!" Barbra said. "We'll chose a good looking guy for you, and you have to be with him for two weeks, and then do whatever you want!" She grinned. "I'll give you ten bucks."
"Add ten from me!" Amber said.
"Me too." Zena said.
"And me." Winter pitched in. "That's forty bucks."
I looked around. I guess it won't be that bad...I mean, they can't really chose anyone too bad... I saw no one that would end up probably murdering me, so I shrugged. "It's because I want the money, not the boy." I said.
My friends laughed.
"Yeah right!" Barbra said.
I gave a small laugh myself. This ought to keep my friends entertained...I want them to be happy, I guess... I thought to myself.
And then there couldn't have been an even worse timing.
A member from the baddest gang of the town, just had to come strolling in, and I knew all my friends saw, because I never saw an even nastier grin play on their faces. It was their choice to choose the man, and they were going to choose him...one of the most bad-assed people of the town...
Paul.
...
So, what do you think? I just realized, Timber's a lot like me, haha... Anyway, please comment to tell me what you think! Thanks dudes!
