Hello guys! I know I should be working on my other stories but I just had this feeling of writing something new while I was listening to Taylor Swift (long story...) and Voila! I had my inspiration to write a new story just to let some feelings out of me. :)
So, this story will be a bit confusing at the beginning, so let me explain. When you see the title saying "Reality" it's the situation that the characters are living in the moment. When you see that says "Story of us" it's what happened to the characters before (flashbacks). And when you see that it says "Next chapter" it means that the Reality POV will change to the Flashback.
This story is inspired by the format from the movie "500 days of summer" where you can see the reality that the guy is living and then jump back to the past.
I hope you like it! :) and please review since this is my Pilot chapter ;)
thank you!
BTW... who said Taylor Swift was the only one that could write about her life? ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from the Night World. However, I do own the plot ;)
Important Note: Any any name or situation similar to the real world, is merely coincidence ;) just so we are clear...
Reality
"You tell me, what should we do?" Poppy said hugging her best friend. She was angry, and everything had started because of Miss-Bigger-Boobs-than-my-head. Poppy frowned at the thought, she always believed that he was a douche, but never this bad. "Maybe he is gay Mare, and he is trying to hide it" she said grinning evilly. Mary-Lynnette allowed herself to laugh at this, her best friend would always be there for her, and more than ever when the subject was, well… "Boys"
"He is not gay Poppy, I'm sure of that" Mary-Lynnette said taking a tissue. Poppy frowned again looking at her friend suspiciously "I don't know Mare, he wears really tight pants" Mary-Lynnette laughed again. How was it possible that she was experiencing all this crap? Mary-Lynnette thought about everything that had happened and how they had become together, and now she was in her room thinking how the story of them looked more like a tragedy than a fairy tale.
"Okay, can you explain me again, from the beginning what happened because I'm really confused and this dude is acting as if he is asking for a dead wish" Poppy said standing up and placing herself in front of Mary-Lynnette determinate to help her best friend. Mary-Lynnette shook her head "I swear this whole shitty situation is looking like a contest of who can act as the careless" Poppy nodded in agreement. She never believed that the he could have done all this, was it some kind of joke? Wasn't he the same one who had sworn that he would never hurt her friend because he loved her? Damn, if this was his way to show his love, how the hell did he show his hate?
"This is fucking killing me!" Mary-Lynnette yelled and stood up quickly as if she wanted to run away from the feeling. Looking at her friend so angry and hurt at the same time, gave Poppy an Idea "I was wrong, the question is not what happened" she said smiling. Mary-Lynnette turned to face her best friend "It's not?"
"No Mare, it's not" Poppy said again now walking around the room "The question is, what are we going to do?" she grinned. Mary-Lynnette looked at her best friend and followed her actions, "Tell me Poppy". Poppy only smiled and nodded slowly. This was going to be good.
"Do you remember that Miss-Bigger-Boobs-than-my-head said?" Poppy said thinking at the memory. Mary-Lynnette nodded slowly "She said something about a karaoke party tonight at I-don't-know-his-face's name…"Poppy smiled and nodded. Mary-Lynnette looked confused "What do you have in mind Poppy?" Poppy laughed and went to her closet fast looking for a gorgeous red dress with straps that would fit and highlight Mary-Lynnette's curves accompanied it with a thin black belt. "Poppy, what the hell are you doing?" Poppy threw the clothes to her friend "Get change now!" Mary-Lynnette did what was told. Poppy kept looking around and threw some skinny black jeans at Mare and her black high heels. "Hurry up!" then she started getting ready too
"Poppy, what are doing?" Mary-Lynnette asked her while she tried to put her heels. Poppy smiled at herself and met Mare's stare directly "Well, duh! We are going to a party!" Mary-Lynnette dropped the heel and started at her friend with shock. "We… are what?"

Story of us.
Mary-Lynnette was annoyed. She hated how big kids would always be around bullying the small ones, especially the ones that would enjoy their time reading or just enjoying themselves. She hated them more than the ridiculous bitches that lurk around her school, with their look-at-me-and-my-way-too-short skirts and awesome-make-up-all-over-my-face attitude and looks. Well, most of those girls were in the cheerleader team, the leader, "Bunny". Mary-Lynnette didn't mind the girl at all, what matter to her was the fact that Bunny would never stop her friends and her annoying comments. Bunny wouldn't care about anything at all but the guys on the football team (A/N: Soccer). She would always be giving the best parties just to get a night with one of them, always a different one, and what was worst; they would always go for her making her the most popular girl in the whole school. Now, remember! If there is a Queen, there must be a King as well. "Vic" that was his name. Vic had been the captain of the football team for the past 4 years until a suspension and low grades got him kicked out from his position, now his best friend was taking the place.
The bell rang and Mary-Lynnette realized that she had been lost in thought and wasn't listening to her best friend Poppy North talking about how she shouldn't go around kicking guys, instead she should go and tell a teacher or she was going to get in a lot of trouble.
"Poppy, it wasn't my fault! The idiot was pissing the hell out of that boy because he was reading a biology book!" Mary-Lynnette knew this was a bit nerdy, but hey! If the boy wanted to do that, then why not? He wasn't harming anyone!
"Mare, I know! But it was none of your business! Listen, you are still kind of new since you've been here only for a year. But you don't know Vic, and he could have hit you back if David wasn't around to pull you away. Mary-Lynnette thought about that and how her friend David had always been extremely nice to her. "Earth to Mary-Lynnette! Listen to me, you don't want to mess up with them. Are we clear?" Poppy said looking pissed off for the lack of interest in her friend on the subject.
"Why? Because they are the "football players"?" Mary-Lynnette mocked the ridiculous tone everybody used to speak about them. "Yes!" Poppy looked pissed off now. Mary-Lynnette gave her a look "How come that only the guy's team gets that much respect? What about the girl's team?" Poppy shook her head and rolled her eyes at her best friend "It's not the same Mary-Lynnette, and you are only demanding that since you are in the team" Mary-Lynnette showed her tongue and laughed at that. It was true, she was glad she got accepted because there was no way she would try the cheerleader team. Disgust went all over her.
"Okay? Now what's wrong with you?" Poppy saw the disgust in her friend's face, it was funny how she would always accomplish her face expressions with what she was feeling. Mary-Lynnette looked at her and shivered "Imagine if I was a cheerleader" Poppy laughed hard at that "Why do you have that face at the thought?" Mary-Lynnette smiled "Because then you would have to call my parents to tell them I've absolutely lost my mind and I'm probably full of infections!" Poppy laughed so hard that tears went into her eyes, but she couldn't stop. Every time they would start with a laugh attack, there was nothing anyone could possible do to stop them, they would laugh and laugh until their faces were full of tears and the feeling of a six-pack coming from all the exercise done by the laugh.
It was lunch time and everybody was eating, so the public staring at them and their show was pretty big. They didn't care; they never cared of who was looking at them, or what they would say about them. If they were happy, then why would they care? Mary-Lynnette couldn't take it anymore and stood up to get a glass of water; she went to the sink and grabbed her glass laughing all the time. She let her body relax in order to control the laugh attack which was coming to an end since she wasn't looking at Poppy, when a hand from behind her passed right next to her hip grabbing the same glass she had been drinking before.
"Excuse me?" she turned to see who it was and all the laugh disappear and anger went through her body. The boy was drinking as if it was the most natural thing on the world, once he finished he gave her his best smile. His blond hair was messy and his brown eyes were looking at her obviously mocking her. His hand was on his pocket and he looked so relaxed that she felt angrier. "Excuse me, but that was my glass" Mary-Lynnette said politely but showing him that what he had done was rude. "I know, but I couldn't be bother to get one when there was one that I could easily grab and drink" He answered her with a wink. She knew him, but she had never talked to him in her life. He was the famous Ash Redfern, captain from the football team, Vic's best mate and all that. She knew his reputation, reason why she was not going to be tolerant with him. "Well, if you didn't know, that is rude" she said trying to control her temper. "My bad, want the glass back?" great! Now he was making fun of her, well, she could play that game too "Ew, no thank you" she said faking a gag "I could catch some kind of infection or God knows what if that touched your mouth" she turned around to leave but he grabbed her arm and forced her to turn around "Excuse me?" he looked pissed off. "I think you heard me" She shook him away and gave him a look of disgust, however he cooled himself and laughed, this annoyed Mary-Lynnette "What is so funny?" He let go of her and shrugged "you" Mary-Lynnette frowned "I am not funny and what do you know? You don't even know me" He smiled again and turned around to leave "I know you Mary-Lynnette, I do know you".
So what did you think?
