The Simplest Times.

Teddy grabbed my by the strap of my tanktop and we were off, grabbing our crap and springting over the fence, I jumped over the fence and landed on my feet, pure and simply cat-like, I was always that way, that's why I was so great at sports, and that's why Mr. Lachance loved me so. Gross.

I looked frightened,

"Why's he taking so long?"

Chris put his hand over my shoulder,

"Relax, Lillith."We arrived at a gate, reading a sign, 'Keep Out Of Junkyard.' and 'Beware Of Attack Dog.'

"Well?"

I looked at the guys, as Teddy prepared to throw his sleeping bag over the fence.

"Stand back men!"

I raised a brow as he threw it,

"And one woman."

I laughed, jumping over the fence, the others right infront of me. Teddy and Vern ran ahead, while Gordie, Chris and I stay behind.

"Teddy's crazy."

I laughed,

"Yeah, he won't live to be 20 I bet."

Gordie looked at Chris,

"Remember the time you saved him from the tree?"

I looked at the two,

"Huh?"

"Oh, yeah. I dream about that sometimes, accept in the dream I always miss him, I just get a couple of hairs and down he goes. It's weird."

"That is weird."

I grew irritated of no answer.

"But you didn't miss."

"I bet Chris Chambers never misses."

I mocked him playfully, he smiled at me and Gordie.

"Not even when the ladies leave the seat down."

He made a circle with his fingers and spat through it, gross!

"Eww, guys are so disgusting!"

Gordie and Chris laughed at my grossed out expression, ewww.

"Hey, you guys wanna race?"

Gordie and I whined,

"Oh c'mon right to the pond."

They looked at me,

"Naah, I'm kinda tired- GO!"

I burst into a fit of laughter as I ran past all the rusted old junk,

"Oh your a dead man!"

"Cheater!"

They chased after me, just at my heels, scraping my douche-bag converse shoes.

"Looks like she's got the take, she's got Chambers and Lachance beat, but what's this?"

He passed me, to my speed, I awed and ran faster, Gordie right behind us.

"Chambers and Black are taking the lead together, what's Lachance gonna do now, we pass the finish line! The croud goes wild as Chambers wins!"

He made a screaming noise covering his mouth, we hung onto our knees, without the tiniest bit of breath, huffing and puffing away, sweating and smiling at one another. I looked at Gordie, who smiled at me, then at Chris, who was breathing in my face. I laughed and stood up, running my hair through my firey red hair, the other two copied my moves and we slapped each other a couple of times before walking off to find Teddy and Vern.

"Hey guys, where were you?"

"Just sittin' here. Where the hell were you?"

I frowned, Teddy obviously disliked me from the train incident. We sat down and I grabbed a rusty can from behind me, putting it in front of all five of us, I began to throw rocks, and the others caught on quickly. I sat between Gordie and Chris, it was hot, and I was drinking from Gordie's canteen.

"Hey, drink from your own."

He laughed, then I gasped.

"Shit!"

"What is it, Lillith?"

They looked at me with concern all over them.

"I didn't even bring anything! When you asked me to come along, I didn't get time to go home and grab some crap!"

The guys looked at me like I had an axe hanging out of the side of my head,

"You retard."

"I know."

"Well, don't worry, we're going to get food and drinks anyway."

"Yeah, I guess that's true."

I threw another rock at the can, never missing.

"But I can't just sleep in the dirt either."

I heard alot of 'hmm's from the four of them.

"Well mine is bige enough to share, besides, we're small enough."

I smiled at Gordie,

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, 'course, that's what friends are for."

"Oh, Gordie and Lillith, sittin' in a tree,"

Vern started, Teddy finished.

"F-U-C-K-I-N-G."

We laughed as Chris threw a rock at Teddy. I noticed the blush line and the frown on Gordie's face, he was always so sensitive about love and stuff. I wrapped an arm around him.

"Teddy's just jealous because he wants you, but you're mine."

Vern, Gordie and I shared a laugh, but Teddy and Chris looked at each other, then back at me.

"I'm kidding, relax."

I laughed,

"You wish."

"I might."

"I know you do."

"But I'm a girl, so what are you-"

"Hey, you guys watch the Mickey Mouse show?"

We all nodded,

"I think Nat's tits are getting bigger."

"You think?"

"Yeah, I think so. I noticed the A and the E are starting to bend right here."

Gordie curved his hands near his chest, I rolled my eyes and drank from his canteen,

"Yeah, I think so."

"Nat's tits are great."

Vern smiled, Chris smiled back.

"Yeah."

I looked down at my own, feeling self concious now. Gordie and Chris wrapped an arm each around my shoulders,

"Relax, Lillith."

I laughed at the two,

"About what? I'm jealous of your tits?"

Both boys took their arms off me, laughing and tapping my arms.

Vern smiled,

"This is really a great time."

"The most."

"A blast."

"Neat."

We agreed.

"Hey, it's getting kinda late."

Vern said,

"We should go get the food before Milo and Chopper get here."

"Ooh, sick balls."

We laughed, my stomach began to hurt and tears streamed down my face, these guys were so much fun.

"You go you can pick us up on the way back."

Teddy finished up laughing, and said to Vern, who frowned immediatley.

"I'm staying right here."

I smiled and spat more water from the canteen, but then it turned into a little dramatic spat.

"Girls girls girls, cool it. We'll flip for it."

We agreed to Chris's thought. We flipped our coins and and five tails came up.

"Oh jeez, five tails, that's a goocher."

The boys sighed,

"A goocher?"

I blinked, what's a goocher?

"No, man. Remember those guys who flipped for the driver's? And they got a goocher just before they got in the car, and bam! They all got totalled, I don't like this. Sincerely."

"Vern-O. Nobody believes that stuff about moons and goochers it's baby stuff, now flip."

We all flipped again, all accept Vern, who frowned at the coins we'd flipped.

"C'mon Vern, we don't have all day."

"Fine."

He flipped, and we looked at our coins,

"Oh Gordie's out, oh boys Gordie just screwed the pooch!"

I heard the laugh that I loved so much.

"Eeeee-eeee!"

"Does the word 'retarded' mean anything to you?"

We laughed,

"Just go get the food you morphodite."

"Don't call me any of your mother's pet names."

Teddy and Gordie spart insults at each other.

"Shutup!"

"I don't shutup-"

Vern, and Chris and I joined in,

"I grow up. And when I look at you. I throw up."

We gagged at each other and Gordie spat back,

"And then your mother goes around the corner and she licks it up."

We 'ooh'ed at Gordie's comeback, and before I could say anything, Chris looked at me and yelled-

"Pile on Lillith!"

The three of them tackled me into the gravel, jumping all over me. We laughed and my face went red from all the smothering, I watched as Gordie walked off, a smile stretched across his mouth. The guys had enough of leaping all over me like a jungle gym and we sat up again, Chris helped me dust off all the dirt of my back, hitting me playfully on purpose.

"Ow."

He slapped,

"Ow."

He scratched,

"Owww!"

I arched my back and leaned in his lap out of pain, my eyes clamped shut, I felt his legs tense up before realising my head was- What the hell, Lillith? You psycho bitch! Get off him right now, you and Chris hated each other! Now stop this nonesense!

But I didn't stop, I lay there, looking up at Chris, who was looking down at me wide-eyed.

"Lillith, you two timer."

Teddy and Vern laughed, I sat up again,

"Oh ha-ha."

"I wasn't kiddin'."

Teddy smiled,

"Lillith really has two boyfriends?"

Our laughter stopped and we looked at Vern, then back at each other, bursting into another fit of laughter.

"What, what'd I say?"
