A/N I am also the author xthexmonkeyx1049x on quizilla so don't freak out and say that I am stealing a story that is already mine. A/N
Ever since my father died a few years my mother had been utterly depressed, it wasn't until last week she took care of her situation. This is the reason why my twin sister and I are now living with a total stranger. Well, not exactly a stranger since she is our mother's younger sister but we didn't really know her.
If you ask why we are living with Jenn, it is because our mother committed suicide and left us to her younger sister who happens to be eight years older than us.
And apparently that would be Jenn Rivell, who is the most carefree person I have ever met besides my sister. I am not meaning to disrespect her in any way but it is different living with her acting like a teenager than to live with my mother.
I came to this conclusion when my sister Kayla and I first met her at the airport. I would have never picked her out of the crowd if it hadn't been for the sign that had both mine and Kayla's names on it in BRIGHT pink letters.
The woman was a tall and blonde, she was very pretty, with her light blue eyes and slender figure. I knew that she was going to my sister's best friend because they seemed like they would get along. Let me explain about my twin sister, I love her and all but she is prep beyond relief. There is so much I can stand about her; well it is just her talking. Let's just say she talks a lot, well it is not because she talks so much, it's the fact she says "like," "OMG" a lot and mainly talks about her self.
I, on the other hand, don't talk all that much, I mean I prefer to listen to what other people has to say than to talk about myself. You can say that we are total opposites; I mean my sister has dyed blonde hair and keeps it short and I kept my hair our natural dark auburn hair and streaked it underneath with black, dark red and dark purple, which reaches to the middle of my back. We both have light green eyes, and a tall, slender frame.
I am rather book wormish and smart but I also love to skateboard, where as my sister acts dumb when she is actually really smart and she loves to shop, which I can't stand. Even though I am the twin who works, I end up sharing my money with her because I love her and I really don't need that much money since I don't need that much money. My wage is full time even though I had worked part time, the owner is a rich man and owns like twenty skate shops, he loves me and gives me that much money even though I keep telling him that I don't want as much money as he has been giving me.
I still have my job since Tony Alva, the owner of the store and my boss, has a store in the West Chester, PA, where I happened to be moving to with my sister.
"Katherine?" I looked at Kayla who had interrupted my train of thought. We were in the car on or way to Jenn's house, I happened to be sitting in the back seat as Kayla and Jenn chatted animatedly. Apparently, they were asking me something.
""Huh, repeat that please?" I asked politely,
Kayla looked at me from the front seat, "Jenn wanted to know if we knew about a Bam Margera?" I looked at her, and nodded,
"Yeah, he is on the show Viva La Bam and he skates boards." Everyone has heard of Bam Margera, it wasn't like I was obsessed with the guy. I hardly watched his show since I am usually taking care of our mother or at the skate shop. I turned to look out the windows, which were just trees; it was different here than it was in New York, where there were hardly any trees and a lot of buildings.
"Well then you two are in for a surprise," she said with a smirk in her voice, as she drove.
After an hour of reading and listening to my ipod, Jenn drove into a long driveway which revealed a familiar castle like mansion.
She parked in front of the house with a unicorn on the door, which was when I realized that this was Bam Margera's house. I knew this from watching one episode of Viva La Bam once and thought it was kind of funny to have a township kick you out of the town.
"You know Bam Margera?" My sister asked excitedly, "He is so hot!"
Jenn nodded and said, "I know, just imagine kissing him!"
Kayla looked at Jenn shocked, "Youre his girlfriend?"
Jenn nodded again and smiled as Kayla said, "Lucky!"
I rolled my eyes and put my stuff away into my black backpack. I fixed my beanie that I had over my stick straight hair before I got out of the car, grateful to be able to stretching my stretch legs, which had fallen asleep with the first half hour of being in the car.
I stretched my arms over my head and yawned, revealing my pale flat stomach in the process. My sister and Jenn got out of the car soon after I did and they went inside the house together, leaving me behind. See what I meant, they are like best friends; my cell phone began to ring.
I answered it and said, "Yellow? Kat here!"
"Hey," I recognized the voice as Tony's, "I am downtown West Chester at my shop, can you come and find it around like now? I want to get you familiarized with this shop and the employees?"
"Uh, sure, I will have to get my aunt to drive me down there since I am not all that familiar with the roads around here. Oh, and since it is summer and I don't start my senior year until September, I can work full time."
"All right, you can do that since I know you have been bugging me about cutting money from your pay check. You sure arent the one to want money, are you?"
"No, sir, I don't need a whole lot, just enough to get me necessities, for my skate board, ipod and to satisfy my reading," I said as I walked into the house, "Do you know Bam Margera?"
"Yeah,"
"Well, I guess I am living at his house since my aunt lives here, so I guess if you ever want to hit me up I'm here or at the shop, assuming that you know where he lives?" I started to wander around the house looking for my sister.
"Yeah, we hang sometimes. Have him come with you to the shop I haven't seen him in a while."
"Okay, uh see you when I get there." I said before hanging up. I found every body in the back yard by the pool. No body noticed me until I tapped Jenn on the shoulder and asked, "Can you take me to the skate shop in West Chester? I have to meet up with my boss Tony."
She looked at me and introduced me to every one, "Hey guys this is my other niece Katherine, Katherine this everyone."
After she said everyone's names, she said, "Sure, oh wait no I can't. Uh Bam,"
She called Bam's name and he looked up from talking with Ryan Dunn, "What?"
"I need you to take Kathy to West Chester."
"Why can't you do it?"
"I have to pick up Elle," She said, leaving him no option, I looked at Bam and said,
"Tony wanted you to come to the skate shop, but if you don't want to I can always call him back and say that I can't make it."
"Tony Alva?" He asked, I nodded, "Sure, who wants to take a trip to West Chester?"
"I'll go," A tall man with dark wavy hair named Ville said, "I need to get some cigarettes before I run out."
I scrunched my nose, "You know, smoking is bad for you."
His green eyes glanced at me, "Well, that is not your problem is it, love?"
"Sorry, I just thought you should know," I rolled my eyes and said, "Anyone else beside him going?"
Everyone's hands rose besides Kayla, who said, "I am going to go with Jenn; I want to meet our little cousin,"
I nodded and Bam said, "Let's go, fuckers," before walking back into the house, to go out front. Everyone seemed to have taken his orders, as I followed the guys out to a cherry red Hummer. Everyone loaded up into the car, with Bam driving, Ville in passenger, Raab behind Bam, Novak in the middle, me behind Ville, and Ryan Dunn, Rake, and DiCo in the very back.
As soon as Bam started the engine, a song I didn't recognize came on loudly and scared the shit out of me. Novak and Raab caught me jumping out of my skin and laughed. I flipped them off and grabbed my ipod deciding that I didn't like that I didn't like the song that was playing. I don't do the sappy love songs, I rolled my eyes and soon "Hell & Consequences," by Stone Sour filled my ears, as I turned up the volume to the max.
I began nodding my head to the music since it was rather a hardcore song, as I looked out the window. After awhile I felt someone's hand on my thigh, I looked at the hand and grabbed it. I grabbed the middle finger, twisted it and pulled. I learned that this tactic was very useful, and very painful to the person's hand you have.
I took out one of my earphones with one hand as I kept the other in position, Novak was yelling in pain as I yelled, "What the Hell! You never touch me that way! Or I swear to god I will do this to your dick!"
At this point the music was turned down in the Hummer; you could only hear the song, "Unholy Confessions," By Avenged Sevenfold came from out of my head phones.
Everyone besides Novak and Bam, who continued driving, were staring at me curious about my sudden out burst, I glared at Novak and let go, "I meant what I said, every one else take this from example you touch me or my sister inappropriately, I will kick your ass."
"Feisty, I like that," Novak grinned even though he was in extreme pain. I was disgusted, even after I threatened him; he continued to talk to me.
"And do you know what I would like?" I asked, "For you to keep your hands to yourself."
Bam parked, in front of a skate shop, I got out and shoved my ipod in my pocket after shutting it off. I walked into the shop and found Tony talking to one of the clerks at the counter. I tapped him on the shoulder, "Tony, I am here."
He turned around and engulfed me into a hug, he was like an uncle to me and the feeling was mutual.
"What's up Kitty Kat?" He asked as we pulled away,
"Just showing Novak what he gets if he touches me the wrong way." He smiled and said,
"That sounds like you Kat, anyway, this is Matt, and he is around your age." He gestured to the guy he was talking to, the guy was kind of cute but not my taste. He was rather jock looking rather than skater with his clean blonde hair and brown eyes. Yep, more of my sister's type.
I raised an eyebrow at Tony questioningly, Matt was the one to answer "I know that I don't look like much of a skater, well I don't skate. I am the one who designs the boards."
"Oh, I see. One of these days you will have to learn." I said as the bell above the door rang indicating that Bam and his friends came in. I watched as the other two clerks who happened to be girls, stop what they were doing and stare disbelievingly.
"So, Tony I am here, what do you need to do?" I brushed off the fact the two girls were wide eyed, I assumed that it was Bam they were looking at. But as Tony was about to answered, I noticed that they were running up to Ville, asking for his autograph. Wow, that is sad, I thought, two skater girls rather go to some random man than to get the autograph of the famous Bam Margera.
I smiled as I heard Tony's news; apparently I was the new manager of this store since he trusts me.
I hugged him again and said, "Thank you! You are the best."
He hugged back and said, "I was hoping that when you turn eighteen that you would sign with Element with Bam."
I looked at him, "Uh, why would I go pro with Bam? He doesn't even know that I skate."
"Yeah he actually he does. I told him that I knew a wonderful skater that would be excellent for Element."
I pulled away from him, "I wasn't planning on going pro, I was going to go to college some where."
He frowned, "Katherine, you are the most awesome skater out there and you are going to waste your talent?"
"I'm sorry but I think I need to with my sister and support her since she doesn't know the meaning of handling a job." I said, I had planned on going to college, I only skate board because I like to do it not in hopes to be famous.
"Katherine you should think about this, you would make a great role model for all these little girls."
"I will think about it, but if I choose to do it I have to finish high school. I am graduating early anyways, sometime in January since I just need three more credits. I will make up my mind by then. Oh, and don't tell Bam that I am the skater you are talking about, I don't want to have favoritism between my sister and I." I whispered so nobody could over hear.
"Fine, you can start working next Monday from eight to six," Tony said agreeing. I nodded and smiled.
We walked over to Bam and the guys, "So how do you know the famous Tony Alva?" Bam asked, "He's not your boyfriend, is he?"
"Uh no, Bam, she is like my niece." Tony answered and I added, "He has been my boss for three years now, but my dad's friend for twenty years."
"Oh, from the way you guys hug a lot I assumed that you were a couple," I rolled my eyes.
"Right, I go for the older guys who are like twenty years older than me," I said sarcastically, "Anyway, I am going to the pet store across the street. I need to buy some mice for my snake, and then I am going to the store next to it so I can stock up on food and supplies so me and my sister won't burden you with buying food."
Bam clammed up, "Did you say snake?"
I nodded and smiled, "Yes, he is the sweetest thing ever."
"You better be keeping that thing in your room." Bam replied, "Or I will kick you out of the house!"
"Whatever it is not like I am going to stay here long anyway, as soon as I turn eighteen I am getting an apartment," I said as I left through the door.
I was looking both ways before crossing the street, when I heard Ville's deep Finnish voice yell, "Stop!"
I stopped and he caught up with me, "I am going with you. I need to get"
"Cancer-sticks, I know." I interrupted him and smiled as we crossed the street.
"You are a very out spoken girl, you know that?" He looked at me, and I shook my head,
"No I am not, I just don't take bull shit, and I won't be taking any from Bam Margera, either." I said as we entered the pet store.
"Brave words, Ms. Katherine," He laughed.
"I am just saying he treats me like I am lower than him, he is going to get a reality check. Every celebrity needs one every once and awhile." I shrugged,
"Even me?" He asked,
I looked at him puzzled, "And what exactly are you famous for?"
"I am the lead singer of the Finnish band HIM." He said simply.
"Oh you are the one who sings about love and death. I never really pay attention to bands I really don't listen to so I didn't recognize you." I went to go get a clerk to get me some mice.
When I came back, with a box full of mice he said, "Surely you watch Bam's show, so you must have known I am."
"Nope, I don't watch TV all that much, I knew about Bam because duh, I work at a skate shop, but that was it." I said as I paid for my mice.
"Oh, so you don't get into celebrity gossip?"
"Nope," We entered the store and separated our different ways and we met back in front of the store, him with his cigarettes, me with four bags of groceries and a box of four mice.
"Do you need help with those?" I looked down at my groceries, and said to Ville,
"Oh no I am fine, I don't need help. Well actually can you carry my twenty-four case of Coke?" It was the only thing that I was having trouble with. I was thankful when he nodded and grabbed the case.
"Thank you." I said before we started walking across the street.
"No problem,"
