Change of scene ===========
(Parking lot)
Riley jumped up onto the hand railing and grinded all the way down to the gravel parking lot at the bottom.
There was a squeal of joy as Tyomi come soaring through the air and come to a skidding halt next to Riley on her roller blades.
Riley rolled her eyes and flicked her board up into her hand. She turned to go, but suddenly a car stopped right in front of her, cutting her path off. Riley scowled and glared at the driver.
"Trying to kill me Eric!"
She growled.
"Nah never, just wanting to give you girls a lift home. Don't want you walking for an hour by yourself."
He smiled innocently.
Riley snorted and rolled her eyes.
"Tyomi and I have bladed and boarded that way ever since we've been here. So I think it's quite safe."
Riley replied, sarcasm hanging off her every word.
"Oh Riley can't you see he just wants to show off his new car, he just got it yesterday you know."
Tyomi grinned sliding into the back seat of Eric's new silver Nissan S15 200SX, with red interior and a huge exhaust.
"How the hell did you afford this? You didn't steal it did you!?!"
Riley growled, looking around as she slid into the front seat.
Tyomi leaned forward, resting her arms on the two front seats.
"His Dad bought it for him as a 'truce' present."
Tyomi spoke for Eric.
"Your Dad's at it again!"
Riley snarled, looking forward through the window.
She watched Eric's reflexion in the mirror as he nodded sadly.
Eric's parents split up a few years ago and as Eric's two older brothers hate their Dad, his father has taken it apon himself to bribe and buy his two younger children into liking him. Hence why Eric has some of the most hyped technology known to man.
"Well are we going or what?"
Riley snapped, turning to face Eric.
Eric nodded and a bright smile crossed his face.
"Were do you want to go?"
"Home!"
Riley grumbled.
"Caf"
Tyomi shouted.
"Café it is then."
Eric beamed, quickly shifting the car into gear and taking off.
Gravel flicked out from under the back tyres as they sped off down the driveway.
(At Café)
"God damn Riley, I still can't believe you're this skinny with the amount of food you eat."
Tyomi blurted out, as a huge plate of food was placed in front of her friend.
"Like I've said before, my doctor says I have a extremely fast metabolism……….and the fact is I'm hungry!"
Riley stated half annoyed.
Tyomi and Eric shook their heads.
"I think it's because her temper takes up so much energy to sustain."
Eric joked.
Riley gave him a glare before jabbing a piece of food with her knife and sticking it in her mouth. Eric cracked up laughing while Tyomi shock her head. They were a weird group of friends.
Some time later
The bell of the café 'tingled' as a new group of people walked in.
"Time for me to go."
Riley stated getting up as she placed money down on the table.
Eric nodded as he took the money and counted it.
"Hey Ri! This ain't gonna be enough."
Riley stopped near the door and a cruel smirk crossed her face.
"No, but it will pay for your sex change."
She replied loudly, causing the café to go silent.
Eric smiled and shook his head.
"No this won't be enough, I need more."
Riley rolled her eyes and turned around, pulling another five-dollar bill out of her pocket and slamming it down on the cashiers counter.
"Happy now."
"Yes very, see ya tomorrow Rat."
Riley grunted as she pulled the door open and quickly disappeared down the stairs and around the corner towards her house.
(Riley's Home)
Riley kicked the front door to the small house open. The dust inside was disturbed as she shuffled through the corridor, only pausing momentary to look at the lounge room and kitchen.
The small lounge room looked the same as always.
A worn sofa pushed aside to make way for her Dad's beer chair, the television right in front of it.
A stained, brown, old fashion carpet, was the only thin coverage on the floor and a dirty, soot covered fireplace was left unused along one wall.
The even smaller kitchen looked the same. Mess everywhere and fast food containers littered the floor and over flowed in the bin.
Beer cans and alcohol bottles were scattered across the tiny island in the middle.
Riley sighed and walked past the bathroom door and stopped out side her parent's bedroom, opening it slightly, just to check if they were in. There was no sigh of them.
Her Mum was probably out doing her stuff on a pole, for many gentlemen to see.
Her Dad was more likely slaving over all those used cars, which he constantly keeps telling them, is what brings the money home.
A stumbling sound from the kitchen and breaking of glass, alerted Riley that her Dad was home. Back from his looooong stay at the bar.
A tall, brown haired man, in a grey dirty suite staggered into the corridor.
"Whoth ta hellz hick… iz hick yoooo?…. geeth out….ovf mi huuuse!"
Her Dad's slurred words, half shouted at her, as he waved an arm around uncontrollably.
Riley started to back away as he came closer.
Not really wanting to get hurt or squashed if he snapped. Suddenly there was a 'errrr' sound then a 'thud' as her Dad fell onto the floor. He tried stubbornly to push himself up.
"Wath te pooint inth iz?"
He grumbled before finally giving up and falling quickly asleep on the dirty floor.
Riley rolled her eyes and walked forward removing the beer bottle from his hand and placing it next to him.
This was an everyday occurrence, nothing new. Her foster Dad gets drunk after a shitty day at work and comes home to drink more.
Her FOSTER Mum struts her stuff all day and then comes back at 12 in the morning, sleeps and gets up before Riley gets home.
Riley turned and walked further down the corridor stoping at the last door there. She opened it and descended down the stairs to her dark basement of a room, which she loves.
Her room is bigger then any other room in the house. Only a small window lights the grey concrete walls and floor.
Her single futon matrass lays on the floor surrounded by clothes and magazines.
While a desk and lamp occupy the other side of the room and a small, wooden, wardrobe lines the West wall.
Riley chucked her school bag on her bed, before flicking her shoes off, over to the steps.
She dumped herself on the bed and found a nice Cd to put on.
She rolled over placed it in the stereo system and pressed play, before turning back over to start flipping through her latest mag of Rollingstone.
Sum 41 blared through the speakers. Her head bobbed away as she got lost in the music.
(Eric's House)
Eric slowly unlocked the front door and pushed it open. Placing his shoes next to the row of five, already lining the entrance.
His average sized house accommodated his big family. His two older brothers, Alex 18 and Zac 19, plus his younger brother Ben who's 14, his Mum and Step-Dad Carlo.
Eric walked past the lounge and quickly walked past Alex and Zac's bedroom doors' before coming to a quick halt at his. Looking vaguely at the always, closed door of his Mum's bedroom.
His Mum works night shifts, so she's always asleep during the day, so he doesn't see her much.
Carlo is a full time businessman, who spends nearly all his time out at his warehouse checking things. He's rarely ever home.
Eric opened his door and chucked his bag on the bed. He took his shoes of and threw them into his cupboard.
Eric's room is one of the largest rooms in the house, with his own blue walls and golden cream carpet. His double bed spreads across one of his walls, while a desk and computer take up the other. On the wall opposite them, is his large wardrobe filled with his causal clothes.
Eric sighed and looked around his room. Light mess, here and there, but nothing that he thought needed to be rearranged.
He walked out of his room and walked down the corridor, to the end. Stopping at a Beyblade picture covered door. Eric laughed and opened the door, stepping in.
"Don't you ever knock!?!"
The occupants voice shouted.
"No, not when I'm entering your room squirt."
Eric replied, smiling innocently.
Ben rolled his eyes and turned back to his homework.
"What are big brothers good for? Nothing, nothing, oh and nothing!"
Ben said sarcastically looking down at his Maths homework.
"They're good for telling you that number 4 should be 15mn."
Eric said leaning over Ben's shoulder and pointing at the error.
Ben growled in frustration and rubbed the answer out roughly.
"Leave me along Erect, your bugging me."
Eric laughed and flopped down onto Ben's small single bed.
"What music do you have?"
Eric asked flipping randomly through Ben's CD rack.
"OH MY GOD!"
"What?"
Ben shot, spinning around on his chair.
"You have a Back Street Boys album! Don't you know they're gay!!!"
Eric said dramatically, waving the album around.
Ben sighed and got up.
"Now Eric, what is it you really came here to do? I now it's not to rag my 'gay' CD collection!"
Ben said, dragging on the 'gay' part.
"Is it about Dad?"
Ben added, although he already knew.
This instantly struck a nerve between both of them. The room fell into complete silence as they just looked at each other. Reading one an others facial expression. Hurt, betrayal, anger and 'hate.'
(Tyomi's home)
"Mum I'm home."
Tyomi stepped inside the door. Hanging her jacket, she had pulled out of her bag, onto the coat hanger before closing the door behind her.
She stepped forward, looking around the pristine white marble entrance. The white stair case, which looked like you could drive a car up it, was the man eye attraction.
Tyomi looked to her right, through to the huge kitchen, then the left, towards the lounge and dining area.
Tyomi frowned as she saw no one, then suddenly the clinking of heels drew her attention back to the staircase, where her Mum came elegantly down.
Her Mums lovely raven black hair was let lose to sway around her slender shoulders and to highlight her striking violet eyes. She was dressed in a tight red dress and black high heel shoes.
"Darling"
Her Mum smiled brilliantly, flashing her pearly whites.
"I thought I heard someone."
"For a minute there I thought you were losing your touch."
Tyomi replied hugging her Mum tight.
"Arr have more faith, your old Mum still got it."
She said tapping her ear lightly.
"Us girls have to stick together."
"Oh what about poor old Daddy here."
A male voice said from the top of the stairs.
Tyomi smiled and looked up at the figure.
He had short slicked back, dark brown hair with matching dark brown. His eyes seemed to resemble those of a bat.
Tyomi laughed and run up the stairs and engulfed her Dad in a bear hug.
"If I get a greeting like this every time I come home, I'll get no where."
Tyomi smiled, placing her hands on her hips lightly.
Her Mum and Dad laughed and looked at each other.
"Well then if you have something to do, go up to your room and do it."
Her Dad said.
"Oh and Tyomi, I've tidied your room, so please don't mess it up again!"
Her Mum called after her.
"I can't make any promises."
Tyomi yelled back, ascending up the stairs to her attic bedroom.
Her room is a large attic, only accessible by a pair off pull down stairs. The room has a wooden floor, with brownish, gold coloured ceiling/walls. Her queen-sized bed is spread across one wall, while a desk, computer, wardrobe and t.v, plus stereo occupy the others.
Tyomi sighed, dumping her bag on the floor before flopping onto the bed.
"What a day."
She muttered rolling over and flicking the t.v on. Cruising through the many channels, before her favourite program showed up.
......The sound of hurried footsteps woke her up. Her small hands reaching forward grasping for anything.
The white doors to her room burst open and a young lady flew to the baby's side.
Her angelic face looked over the chubby baby. Her midnight black hair rolled off her shoulders into the coat. Shadowing her dark brown eyes. Streams like tears escaped from the corners of her eyes, before running down her face.
"Mummy." the little girl laughed gurgling.
The young women smiled sadly as she looked down at her child.
"Oh Riley." She smiled weakly.
Gun shots and a man's shout caused the women's head to whip around to the door.
"NOOOOOOOO!!"
Her scream rang painfully through the house.......
Riley's eyes snapped open. Her body was cover in a cold sweet. Her eyes darted around the room before resting on her chest, as it rose and fell quickly.
"Just a dream, just a dream"
She muttered to herself angrily as she rolled over.
Riley quickly pulled on her black track suite bottoms. Her large grey shirt rolled messily over the top of them.
Plucking a few various items that she would wear today off the floor, Riley ascended up the stairs to the bathroom.
She stopped momentarily to watch as a long chestnut haired lady closed the front door. She was quite tall with long slender legs and a tiny build. She was dressed only in a bra and underwear with net stockings pulled over the top. She had a large brown coat on, so she could cover most of her body up.
"Morning Riley, you're up earlier the usual."
The lady smiled lightly, pulling the coat tighter around her body.
Riley sent her a dark look before disappearing into the bathroom. But it was true, the time was 4.30 and she normally woke up at 6.
The lady sighed and walked towards her bedroom.
(At the cafe)
"Riley!"
Tina smiled as Riley appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
Riley flicked her skateboard up into her hand before glancing up at Tina.
Tina was wearing a baby blue off the shoulders top, with a powdery pink, short, pleated mini skirt.
She had large plastic white cycles hanging from her ears, while pink and white skate style shoes covered her feet.
Riley rolled her eyes.
"Nice do, Rye."
Eric smiled. Ignoring the gesture she gave him.
Riley was wearing black baggy jeans, which once again dragged along the floor. She had a red silk corset on over the top of a black top.
Chains poured over one side of her jeans, pulling her pants down slightly on that side, even though they were already low enough.
Her hair was in the style it always is. Tied back into a tight ponytail, with the front, white bangs, hanging down, to frame her dark eye shadowed, eyes.
Her black bag was over one shoulder and her headphones, which were connected to her Walkman, were placed lightly in her ears.
Riley growled as Eric placed an arm around her shoulder and Tina's. He smiled to himself as he walked them through the door.
Eric was wearing a causal white shirt, which had a Chinese symbol imprinted on the front. He also had on his baggy black and white cargo pants, plus his prized black hat.
(A little While later in the café)
Riley slumped back in her chair and crossed her arms angrily over her chest. Could her day get any worse then it was now!
She had just entered the café and sat down, when the last face on earth that she wanted to see, appeared. His annoying smart alack remarks and teasing was getting to her.
Even though not answering was definitely not helping the situation.
Tala smiled as he earned a 'shut up' from his new teasing toy.
Moving schools also meant leaving behind everything fun and picking on people was his idea of FUN! More when he gets a reaction from his victims.
"You're signing your death wish flame brain."
Riley snapped, her eyes flashing dangerously. A vibrate fluorescent green ring around her pupil stood out and moved slightly, like water in her eyes.
"Does it come with you?" He asked cheekily, flashing her his awarding winning grin.
Riley's hands were rolled up tightly in fists. Her knuckles were beginning to turn white as she held back her anger.
{Won't this guy ever learn to leave me alone?}
"Hey Tala, I think that you should leave her be."
Eric said calmly, giving Tala a hard look.
"What ever, this ain't fun any more anyways."
Tala stated causally.
He shrugged his shoulders and walking back to the table, where Kai was sitting patiently.
An amused smirk playing on his own lips.
Riley growled and stood up abruptly. She slammed ten bucks on the cashier's table, before storming out of the Café.
The front door shook violently with the force, that it had been closed with. Tiny cracks visibly started to appear in the corners.
Eric looked at Tyomi and Tyomi looked back, weak smiles on their faces.
Eric placed the money on the table, before walking out the front door after Tyomi, who was following after Riley.
He sent Tala a dark glare. In return he just got a glare and a laugh. A low growl rumbled in Eric's throat as he left the café.
The tips of his now extra, extra, long canine teeth tucked secretly away under his bottom lip.
(Preview)
{That pea brain excuse for a wolf has got it coming. He's bargaining with his life he is}
A rubbish bin that happened to be in Riley's way cooped a hard kick.
It went tumbling noisily onto the deserted road. It's contents spilling all over the place.
"That was so uncouth."
A masculine voice spoke up…………………
