This is my very first Transformers fanfic. So please go easy on me with the reviews...there is another human being behind the computer screen!
Bad Apple
Chapter one: Fright Side and Flashbacks
Ever on and on I continue circling, with nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony. Until, slowly, I forget and my heart starts vanishing. Suddenly I see that I can't break free, I'm starting to slip through the cracks of a dark, eternity with nothing but my pain…and the paralyzing agony.
To tell me who I was, who I am. Uncertainty enveloped my mind as I gripped my hair tightly, curling my thin body in a tight ball. I can't break free. Maybe it's all a dream. Maybe nothing else is real, but, it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel. So I'm tired of all this pain, of the misery and lonely days that pass.
"I wish I could feel nothing but the light…"
Flashback: Two Years Earlier
"Hey Reese!" I turned around at my name "Oh, hey Jenna. What's up?" Jenna grinned widely as she ran up to my side. "Did you hear? Ben asked me to prom today in home room! Can you believe it?" I gasped and gave her a hug "See? What did I tell you? I knew that he liked you!" Jenna bounded around me in excitement "So? Did you ask Nick yet?" I sighed loudly "No. I was hoping he would ask me."
"Oh. I'm sure that he'll ask you Reese. I know it!" Jenna shouted to me as she walked into her biology class. I snorted softly, pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose. I walked into my world history class. I prepared myself for Nick to ask me to be his date for prom as I walked passed his desk. Nothing. He didn't even look up at me. I sighed quietly and sat down at my seat.
Why isn't he asking? I've already told him that I liked him, and he kissed me after. I just don't get it. Is he shy? The bell blasted me from my thoughts just as the teacher, Mr. Baker, came into the classroom. "Okay everybody. Today we're just going to review for the exam tomorrow. Now…" I blocked him out. Heh heh. Reminds me of Charlie Brown. Wah wah wah. Hehe. That's funny! "Miss. West! Do you mind sharing the joke?" I looked up and smiled sheepishly "No sir."
Mr. Baker glared at me but none the less, started the lame lecture where he left off. I stared at the clock intensely. When will this all end? C'mon! It's the last class of the day! I'm pretty sure that I've never been this freaking bored in my entire life. Hmm, when I get home, I'm going to listen to Crookers we are prostitutes! We arrrre Pro-pro-prostitutes! Because we are the ones to blame! Beecaaaaause! Ahh, the good old music. Best song ever written. I smiled to myself, replaying the song inside my head. I tapped my foot to the imaginary beat .
"Miss. West! Stop disrupting the rest of the students!" Mr. Baker yelled while the rest of my classmates snickered, including Nick. I sighed, my eye twitching in irritation. "Okay. Sorry." I rolled my eyes when he turned his back. Great, looks like Mr. Baker is on his period this month. Asshole. I glowered at him through my glasses for the rest of the class period. I jumped up when the bell rung, gathering my binder in my hands I jogged up to Nick and his friends.
"Um, hey, Nick? Can I talk to you real fast?" I asked, looking up at his puppy dog brown eyes. "Yeah sure." He said, his friends giggling like little girls behind him. "I mean alone." My eye twitched in annoyance as I held back a snort. "Okay." He guided me to a empty hall, completely devoid of any students. "Okay. I just wanted to know if…if you'd like to be my date for prom!" I said a pink blush spreading across my nose. Nick stared at me, his face completely devoid of any expression.
To my surprise and shame, he started to laugh at me. I my face was burning from the shame and embarrassment. My eyes stung with fresh tears as Nick smirked down at me. "Nope. I'm going with Ashley Farmer." I nodded slowly, my brain processing this information. "What about our kiss? Did you just do that for fun?" His smirk widened "No, I was dared to by Mike and when you came up to me saying that you liked me, it was the perfect chance." My breathing became harsh as I fought back the tears.
I ran passed Nick, pass his smirked friends and out the doors to my car. I unlocked it and jumped in. Heavy sobs wracked my body as I drove home to an empty house. My dad was a traveling business man, so he was never home and my mother was in Africa helping all the children there. I was an only child, so basically, I was alone all the time. Even on holidays. I threw my binders to the floor and curled up on the couch in the living room and dialed Jenna's number. "Hey Reese! How did everything go with Nick?"
"Terrible. " I sobbed "He never even liked me in the first place and he's going to prom with Ashley Farmer!"
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Se-Se." Jenna cried out, I could feel how upset she was.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything." I said, taking a deep breath, trying to calm down. " I know but I was the one that told you to ask him." A watery smile slammed itself on my lips. At least I still have Jenna. "No. No! You were just being a good friend." I said gently, my voice still thick from crying my eyes out. "I have to go Jenna. See you later."
"Okay. Do you want me to come over so we can have a girl's night? Just me and you." I gave a weak laugh "No. I'm fine. See you tomorrow Jen." I hung up and went to the bathroom. I stared at the chocolate-brown eyes, light brown skinned girl standing before me. I touched my dark, almost black, curly hair. I pushed up my glasses, and frowned. No wonder Nick doesn't like me. I'm so plain and boring compared to Ashley.
I washed my tear-stained face and went to my room and sat there the whole night ignoring Jenna's worried calls.
