Notes: I don't really like to take up space with notes, but I have a little bit of steam to blow off. First of all, all suggestions are excepted, because I really want to know what people want. Second, comment, rate, message, whatever. Just let me know that more than a couple of people are reading this so I don't feel like a total failure. Third do not expect any sex scenes whatsoever. I know that most like to write about it, but for as a writer it makes it difficult to go on with the rest of the story. If something were to happen then I would show the morning after. I want this story to be sweet, and display a good meaning of love. Lastly I will not be finishing my last story, because it came to some really rough edges, and the whole concept was blown into a direction I didn't want it to go. Thanks
Chapter 1 (Teenage Sorrow)
"I can't believe it." My best friend Sierra exclaimed. "They are what? Thirteen? It just seems weird."
"Five bucks says it doesn't change your feelings for Paul one bit." I gave an evil grin.
"You tell me that you haven't checked out his ass at least once, and I'll let it go."
I stared at her for a few moments, then put my head down shamefully. How could I have not looked at the most amazing butt to walk into LaPush high school? She wasn't playing fair, which was okay for the most part, because neither did I.
"Ha!" She said a little to loud, because the librarian sent us death glares, while I sent a silent apology. Sierra acted like nothing happened. "You have. Which means that you know I'm right. It is beyond odd."
"Seems like they have someone from every grade in high school now. What's next? Eighth graders?" Damnit she is winning. Of course it's weird. They are like some freaking gang.
"The hell they are. Micah will not be subjected to that shit." She could stand a lot of things, but her brother being another disappointment to her parents was not one of them.
"Relax. Micah isn't the type to go and become part of freakish gang, and most likely do steroids." I need to be more careful with the things I say.
"Well neither were Collin or Brady. " she said sighing. " Or any of the other ones."
I was about to say something, when I heard a loud shuffling of feet come through the library, and make its way to the back. I looked up to see none other than a few of the chosen ones themselves. They looked like they had already dressed out for P.E. , and from this view I could care less. Paul's butt looked better than anyone's butt deserved to.
"Oh look Corrine." Sierra said aggravation lacing her voice. "It's the local heard." An extremely dangerous look was on her face.
All I could manage to do, was look at her in shock. Maybe she had spiked her punch with something during our lunch period. Intoxicated or not, Sierra wasn't one for speaking up like this. She had done it a lot lately. Ever since Gracyn left, she managed to build up more courage without being drunk. I on the other hand spoke my mind when needed to, not just out of the blue.
"Ssshhh!" I spat at her, while looking over at the heard. Gracyn was with her boyfriend along with a few others. Nice butt, must be Paul, tall, shy looking girl, Kim. Then there were two more must have been Kim's boyfriend and the adorable Seth Clearwater, that girls just clawed over. They had heard her, and were now all staring and whispering. Sierra didn't see of course, because she facing in the opposite direction.
"Are they all looking now?" She wanted to know, so I nodded. "Good. Maybe that bitch will see the normal friends she left behind." She was now talking loud enough for them to hear again. I couldn't decide whether I liked the new Sierra or the old one who didn't get us weird glares. The old her listened to whatever Gracyn said like it was the law, which was why Gracyn and I weren't as close. I was set in my belief of doing what feels like you.
"Great! Look what you've done now." I pushing my chair off from the table a little, balancing it. She looked, to see them walking over with Embry and Gracyn side by side in the front.
"It figures she doesn't have the time to say anything until now." I just laughed. New Sierra definitely had my vote. She finally knew what she was made of.
"Someone's bitter." Said Jared. I shot him a warning look. He would be her first victim.
" Of course she is. She doesn't have the backbone of her group anymore." Embry said , and I snorted.
"I don't know what your laughing at Corrie. At least Sierra here knew who to follow." Gracyn smirked at me.
"It may have taken me too long to see, but she sure as hell was smart enough to not become a cold, heartless, robot bitch like you." Wow!
Embry was now in Sierra's personal space. " Maybe you should learn how to get on with your pathetic life, because she won't be coming back to such a sorry excuse for a friend. It's said really. You can't even function without her." He face was right in hers, and he had hate written over his forehead, which was obviously meant for Sierra. I didn't want to imagine where this could go.
Before my mind registered to what I was doing, I had stopped dangling and made my way to Sierras side. She was speechless. His words struck her like a lightning bold. I pushed her over, so that I was now in Embry's face, only because he was bending down.
"If I were you Call, I would start letting my girlfriend fight her own battles. She did enough of it before you were in the picture." I glared at him unafraid of were my actions would get me. "Might want to think twice before you try to pick fights with a girl. Word spreads fast around here." Gracyn glared at me form Embry's side. I could feel my body trembling with anger towards these people. Who exactly did they think they were to act like this?
"And what are you going to do Corrie?" Seth asked. I had, had a few classes with him, and we talked sometimes, when his friends weren't around. "Fight Embry? You know that, that just sounds insane!" He was looking at me with complete seriousness. For some reason I wanted to listen to what he said. I couldn't though. It wasn't like Embry was who I wanted to get at anyways. He hadn't been the cause of not only some of my pain, but Sierra's too.
"He wasn't who I had in mind, but if he wants to continue to treat her like that." I gestured to Sierra. " Then it's fine with me."
"You wont touch her." Embry pushed Gracyn behind him, unwillingly.
"Maybe not today." I smirked at him, and walked away. I had to drag Sierra with me, who had become interested in something else. "Come on. We're skipping last hour. I don't need a whole period in a gym with the poster boys for steroids."
The smile on her face was so big, I thought it was going to fall off. "That was amazing!" She started walking backwards, to face me. "You were amazing! Gracyn's face was amazing!" Under her breath I thought I heard her say He was amazing. It was probably just my bad hearing, due to the loudness of Ipod headphones.
"We are going to need to do some serious partying tonight. Do you see the influence you are having on me?" I asked skeptically.
She laughed. "Gracyn always told me how she thought you were just a quite follower. Said that there was no reason to keep you around. She was just mad, because you did what you wanted to do." Stupid bitch!
I took my leather jacket that was on my arm, slung it on, and pulled my medium cut hair out. "Lets go to my house and get some food, then we can ready for tonight. I heard that Pierce was having her birthday party at her boyfriend's house."
" Do you think they will be there." She nodded back to the school as we hopped in her car.
I gave her a look. "Doubtful." I shrugged, putting my feet on her dashboard. 'The only ones that I ever saw partying were Paul, Quil, and sometimes Jared would come. That was before he started dating Kim. She wasn't ever really the type for it."
"Hmmm." She was focusing on the road. "Why did Jacob call you Corrie?" she wasn't to interested.
"I have a few classes with him, and Gracyn told him about the nickname." It had bugged me she would tell people about our nicknames. I hated mine.
"She is such a raging bitch." I nodded in agreement. "Did you guys ever talk about her?"
"Once or twice. He just said that he was sorry. It's not like they are all bad, but it just has to do with who they hang with. If some of them weren't so far in, they might not be so bad."
"Maybe no. I'm just not willing to find out." Again I thought I heard her mutter under her breath, but decided to let it go.
We got to my house in good time. My mom wasn't home, so we settled for microwave noodles. I didn't really feel like waiting her to get home to make dinner. She would have been to tired anyways. After about twenty minutes of tv and noodles later, we decided to go down the hall to my room. I had the only downstairs bedroom. My mom and Morgan had the upstairs rooms. The plus was that I didn't have to hear the constant bickering she did on the phone with her fiancé Tyler. He worked somewhere in the south working on oil rigs. Mom called him a southern gentleman and said she knew Morgan would pick up one day to be with him down there. I wasn't willing to face it though, so I focused on one thing at a time.
"If you put your hair up and get it out of your eyes then someone might take interest in you." She game behind me and lifted my hair up, while I watched in my mirror.
"I thought that's what I had you for." I pulled away. "And my hair looks just fine. Thank you!"
"Have you ever thought about you know?" She looked away at the mirror applying her beige foundation. Confusion, nervousness, and maybe happiness were in her eyes all at once.
"About what Si?" She was having one of those moments when she was trying to be serious with me.
She didn't look like she wanted to answer. I was kind of shocked. It wasn't like her to act like this. "Just being with someone. I don't mean sex. I mean just wanting to be with them, because it just feels like it would be right." This was not the direction I thought the conversation would go. Sierra did not hook up, but she wasn't really innocent. The thing we agreed most about, was that relationships in high school were to complicated.
"It would be nice to have that. Do you want that?" I raised my eyebrows at her.
A familiar blank look came over her face. Something was going on. She rarely tried to hide things from me. "No! Lets hurry and get out of here." Suddenly it was like her whole body was on fast forward mode.
She ended up wearing a thin white shirt, that you could see her black bra under. She of course did this purposely. Her tight black pants went well with it. The side sort of side pony tail also looked nice with her bangs she managed to get into a poof. To focus her mind on something else, she got my unmanageable hair to go flat. She then pulled some of it back into a clip. The rest I took care of. I wore dark blue lacy tank, my leather jacket, and some skinny jeans. We both wore dark makeup. We finally finished.
" How much do you have?" She asked, looking in her wallet.
"There's a twenty on top of the fridge that mom left for me." I was supposed to use it to pick up some Midol and tampons for Morgan.
"I have thirty two dollars and some change. I really want to get that cute vest we saw last week." She shot me a pleading look.
I got a mischievous grin. " Yeah! I meant to get something last week."
She just looked at me and rolled her eyes. " About time you decided to get a few new things."
"Oh. Haha. It seems I might have to use my Master card." One thing was for sure. This was going to hurt like hell.
