I own nothing but the storyline and Katerina.

I never thought that this would happen in a million years. And it's all because some dumbass can't get a grip on his pyrotechnic urges. Our school burnt down and now all the kids from Thomson High have to go to West High. Why is this so horrible? Thomson High and West High have been rivals since the start. Although everyone goes to the same middle school, once you get to high school you have a choice in where you want to go. Some go to Thomson, while others go to West.

My name is Katerina Marie Hardy and I chose to go to Thomson High just like my brothers. It was only 3 weeks into the summer when I was with my best friends Brooke and Lisa when we drove past the school and saw it go down in flames. The next thing we knew we were getting phone calls saying that the school was burned so bad that there was no way we could go back the next year and that we would have to go West High until the school was rebuilt.

Of course Lisa and I headed over to Brooke's house right after that to rant about going to our rival school and to get ready for Allen "AJ" Jones's party that night. After all of our rants, Brooke decides that we need to get ready for AJ's party. I decided to wear a leopard print skirt with a black tank top and tan colored wedges[1], Lisa pulled out her cropped khaki vest and her ripped/jeweled jeans with her tan jeweled belt, Brooke took a while to chose her outfit like always. She tried on 7 different outfits until she decided to wear the 4th one that consisted of a cropped smoky purple colored satin vest over a pink spaghetti strap tank top with her black skirt with laces[2].

"I can't wait till we get there I am in dire need to get away from my parents they are driving me crazy!" Brooke stated.

"That and you can't wait to see Garett," I teased.

"Oh shut up," she blushed. "Okay maybe he is a little bit a part of why I'm excited to go.

Both Lisa and I give her a knowing look.

"Ok fine! He's the main reason I'm excited to go."

"You two just need to get together and stop all this hooking up. You are starting to look a little slutty and he's just hooking up with whatever skank looks his way," Lisa said while curling her hair.

Brooke looked shocked, "I cannot believe you just said that!"

"I'm just telling you how it is," Lisa defended.

"Oh come on Brooke that's what best friends do, we wouldn't be your friends if we didn't tell you anything straight up," I said as I finished my makeup.

"Yeah I guess you're right. It's just he's so cute and sweet…can't you guys just let me have my fun. Anyways enough about me, what about you Kat, did you put anymore thought into getting back with Tommy?" Brooke asked wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that. I heard from Christy that he's getting anxious about your answer.' Lisa said.

"Ugh I still don't know. I mean I still love him and I always will but there is a reason why we broke up, he thought we were getting 'too serious too fast' and thought we needed a break."

"Meaning that he wanted to get some ass cause you weren't putting out," Brooke stated "it's no secret that he hooked up with some chick that he met during Spring Break."

"Brooke!" Lisa exclaimed.

"No she's right. I wasn't putting out so he went to go find someone who would." I said shrugging, "Which is another thing that makes me not want to get back together with him. I don't know but I do know that I'm telling him at the party cause I'm not going to have this and going to West High on my mind."

"I bet you $10 that you and Tommy at least make out tonight." Brooke pronounced.

"Oh come on that's not even fair because I know for sure that we are going to make out. I do have needs too." At that we all laughed.

Suddenly there was a loud honk from outside that made us all jump.

"Geez! I am so glad my parents are gone for their weekly date or else they would kill me and Jess." Brooke joked as we all headed outside and got into our friend Jess's car. "Honk louder next time why don't ya."

"Well if you guys where out here when I texted you that I was on your street I wouldn't have to honk." Jess responded.

"Well I don't know about you guys but I would really like to get to this party." Mickie James said from the passenger side.

At that Jess put the car into drive and drove to A.J.'s house where we met up with Christy Hemme, Jaime Szyantyr, and Lauren Williams.

"Brooke how much do you like Garett?" Jaime asked her right as we get to them.

"Umm I don't know. I mean he's hot and a great kisser, why…"

"I think I can see why." I said as I pointed over to where Garett was hitting on an obviously interested target of Ashley Simmons.

"Ugh can she look any more desperate. I mean her dress is way too short and she has to much makeup on." Brooke says as she pulls down her tank top to show more cleavage.

"Girl stop pulling down your shirt before I put you on a corner" Jess says.

Brooke makes a face and pulls her tank top back up, "Well if he can flirt with other girls than I'm going to flirt with other guys." And with that she waltzes up to Chad 'Gunner' Lail.

"That girl is crazy." Christy says shaking her head.

"Yeah but that's our best friend and we gotta love her." Lauren replies.

We all laugh and head into the kitchen to get a drink. We all end up on the dance floor sans Mickie who has cozied up to Nick 'Magnus' Aldis in one of the La-Z Boy's. As I am dancing, I feel a pair of hands place themselves on my hips, they are too big to be Tommy's so I turn around and face one of my best guy friends Shawn Hernandez or as he is most commonly call Hernandez.

"Dude what are you doing?" I ask him still dancing with him back to front to "Ayy Ladies" by Travis Porter.

"Just dancing with my favorite hot mamacita, is that a crime?" He jokes as we grind to the song.

I laugh, "I don't see any cops so I guess not."

He laughed, "Don't speak so soon, your ex is giving me the death glare."

I look over to where he nods his head and I see Tommy just standing there staring at us. I take this opportunity to dance as suggestively as I can and Hernandez plays it up as well. Hernandez and I are strictly best friends. We tried the whole dating thing freshman year but we decided that we were better off friends. He is so protective of me it's like having another brother.

Hernandez knows everything there is to know about the Tommy situation so he knows just how to act. "I don't know what you see in the culo. He broke up witchu to get with other chicas just because you wouldn't give him some. He's lucky I haven't kicked his ass yet."

I just shook my head, "He's not that bad. But I'm not stupid, I know how to play the game and I never lose." I said with a smirk.

"Mamacita you are going to get yourself into some serious trouble."

"Yeah but I always have you to have my back."

"And your crazy brothers; speaking of your brothers, where are they?"

"I have no idea." I said as I scanned the party. "Matt is over there with Reby and Jeff is trying to get with Lauren."

"What happened to Beth, I thought he was head over heels for that chica."

"I think she broke up with him"

"What?! Why!? They were perfect together." Hernandez exclaimed. At this point Jess and Christy have made their way over to where Hernandez and I were standing.

"I heard the girl moved with her family and she didn't want to do the whole long distance thing." Christy stated grabbing a beer for Jess and herself.

"I can't believe Jeff didn't tell me, he usually tells me everything!" I said also grabbing another Mike's Hard Lemonade.

"Hey hey hey what do we have here? Three beautiful ladies and Hernandez just standing around near the drinks this a party guys not a lame ass funeral." Dan 'Aries' Solwold says as he comes between Christy and I and puts his arm on our shoulders.

"Oh Aries you are so gone. What did you drink and where can we get some." Jess asked.

"Well follow me and I'll take you to the Promised Land." Aries replied.

I turn to Hernandez, "Mind if I go, I need to get some liquid courage so I can go play the game." I said with a wink.

He laughs, "Go ahead mamacita, I've got to go play the game as well if you know what I mean."

I hug him as I follow Aries along with Christy and Jess. Before we get to Aries 's stash of booze, I am pulled into one of the bedrooms.

Okay here is my second story that I have. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks!
