I hope you enjoy today's chapter! For now, I'll probably update this once a week. I'm very excited to continue writing this, so I'll at least get this completed. I've actually gotten a lot written all ready.

Did I regret that? Not really. I mean, Ram and whats-his-face pissed their pants and ran a mile or two. Now that's something you'll never see again. Though one might expect to see a whole lot of shit when they've moved around like I do, there's really not anything new or special. The same scumbags and bimbettes.

And here I was, sitting at home. Staring at the wall. Dad wouldn't be back until tomorrow, due to a meeting or some crap like that. So? I did the same thing as I do every night.

Go down to a Snappy Snack Shack, get a slushie, maybe a Turbo-Dog, and watch the passerbys in their quotidian lifestyle. I skimmed through the aisles, reading the endless labels that followed. There wasn't anything noteworthy, unlike that Shack in Virginia. I'll never forget the time I saw a corpse. Those cold, empty eyes. How the blood trickled out of his skull in such a distinct, chilling way...

I snapped out of the trance, blinking wildly until I noticed a familiar figure.

Veronica.

She stalked in, glancing around for a second, and settling down near a bunch of corn nuts.

I don't why or how, but I found myself drifting towards her. She was like a magnet, or some shit.

"Are you gonna pull a super-chug with that?"

She grabbed the corn nuts, and turned towards me. She laughed lightly, smiling. "No, but if you're nice, I'll let you buy me a slushie."

Veronica continued staring at me. "I see you know your convenience-speak pretty well."

I nodded, studying her movements. "Yeah well, I've been moved around all my life. Dallas, Baton Rouge, Vegas," I began, sauntering around her. "Sherwood, Ohio. There's always been a Snappy Snack Shack. Any town, any time. Pop a ham-and-cheese in the microwave and feast on a turbo dog. Keeps me sane."

I straightened my posture, and sighed deeply.

"Really?"

She didn't seemed too interested, as she continued moving carelessly, taking a Twizzler out of a jar. "That thing you pulled in the caf today was pretty severe."

It was. Honestly, I'm surprised that I didn't get suspended.

Putting my hands in my pockets, I replied halfheartedly, "Yeah, well, the extreme always seems to make an impression."

She looked down, smirking. Now she was interested. I found myself grinning without cynicism or imitation. A rare occurrence. "Did you say a cherry or coke slushie?"

"I didn't - cherry."

Soon enough, I slithered outside. She followed, slurping inattentively before her gaze fell on my motorcycle. "Nice bike."

"Yeah, just a humble perk from my Dad's construction company," I bragged, sitting on it's seat.

She continued sipping, examining the bike. "You've seen the commercial, right? 'Bringing every state to a higher state.'"

Veronica paused, blinking. "Wait a minute! Jason Dean. Your pop's Big Bud Dean Construction?"

I looked away, lighting a cigarette. I had to mention the one thing I never want to talk about.

"Must be rough moving place to place."

"Well, everyone's life has got static," I grumbled, staring into her brown orbs. "Is your life perfect?"

Veronica spoke flatly, her tone tinged with annoyance. "I'm on my way to a party at Remington University."

She jumped as a car beeped. I spun around. Chandler. Who did I expect?

"No, my life's not perfect. I don't really like my friends."

"I," I breathed, "I don't really like your friends either."

"Well, it's like they're people I work with, and our job is being popular and shit," she laughed, growing a tiny bit anxious.

Fuck, Veronica was definitely better than a Heather. If there was one thing I'll do in the town, its convincing her to abandon these idiots.

"Maybe," I offered, "It's time to take a vacation."

With that, she hesitated, looking back at Heather Chandler and the car. "Wish I could. Heather's got me wrapped up with beer guzzling jocks tonight," she joked, before jogging to Chandler's car. She smiled softly at me, and drove away.

Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day. Also, I noticed that someone's already favorited this story! Thank you so much, FandomsGirl0206! :) Note: This isn't very long, but the chapters are going to be longer soon enough.
