This is chapter for. I dedicate it to and all the guys that have emotional problems...Emo is sooo hot:) anyway review. They inspire me... And make me feel random enough to write this plot full of randomness.
I blinked a few times in confusion trying to get familiar with my new surroundings. It was a forest, the leaves were purple and my shoes were shaped like frogs. The trees began to whisper:
"Fuck, fuck, fuck."
"No, no, I didn't, fuck, fuck, fuck."
Then out of nowhere appeared Set.
"Catherine no one wants you here. You make Brady uncomfortable."
All of a sudden Collin showed up. He was on top of his car riding it like a horse and dressed in tin foil.
"Ahh my knight in shining foil," Seth sighed.
They linked arms and skipped off into the night. And then a tree ate them.
Brady stepped from behind the hazardous tree. He looked soo yummy; I ached for an acknowledgement from him. I wanted him to know I was here. I was here for him.
His eyes locked with mine and the tree's began to whisper the same things as before and he reached out to touch me, a pained expression on his face. Then the breeze picked up and he blew away with it. I reached towards his hand but he was gone.
I looked up at the full moon with a smiley face and screamed.
"CURSE YOU LABOUR GOVERNMENT!"
Wow strange dream.
Really strange dream.
I wonder if Collin and Seth really are gay.
Anyway up time.
I moved out of my bed and the cold hit me. So I did what any smart person would. I got back into bed and let sleep take me over again.
"Catherine, wake up."Someone whispered.
"Nya," I answered and turned over.
And then the musical began. I had been living with the Clearwater's about three weeks now, my mind was plagued by Brady, whom I had not seen in two weeks and Collin still drove us to school. I had a tendency to sleep, its normal...excuse me for not wanting to be awake for breakfast...or lunch. Seth unlike me was a morning person and had developed a method in which he woke me. Today was not a good day. I had tummy cramps and I just hated everything. I was so pissed. It's how I deal, I don't get upset I got pissed, Although I don't know why I'm upset, which just pisses me off more.
"Good morning sunshine, goodbye to rain," Collin and Seth did a two part harmony in the worst possible way and got the lyrics wrong and, Ugh, my ears so flat , tone deaf fools.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I screamed.
"Ooh... Collin it seems as though she does not want to get up."
"Maybe we should persuade her Seth."
"How do you propose we do that my diabolical friend?"
This was not going to be good. They both looked at me and turned to each other again
"Sun," They said in unison.
"Pshhh, as if there is any of that here" I said.
"Actually there is, so much in fact that we are going on a picnic today, at the lake, in the sun, in ten minutes." Seth said with a smile.
There was a pause and my face filled with pure horror.
"Nooooooooo!" I screamed. I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.
I ran out the room and into the bathroom. I locked the door and angrily sat on the edge of the bath. But I slipped and there was water in the bath. Seth the idiot still has fricking aeroplanes and ships that he plays with in it. My ass was soaked.
I let out another scream for good measure and just flopped. I listened to the sounds in the house.
"Boys, stop raping the exchange student."
"Catherine, you have to come out sometime."
"Mum, we need more cheese."
I sighed and turned on the shower.
The first thing I saw when we stepped out of the Vehicle of Possibilities was Katelyn and shock horror; she was without her...Uh...attachment. Yes, for the first time ever, I saw Katelyn Rudd without her pelvic-ie attached boyfriend.
"Catherine!" she squealed, "Come give me a hug...I feel lonely," she said.
I walked over and gave her a hug. She was wearing blue jeans, a purple long sleeved shirt and a beige jacket, whereas I was in all black...again. I don't think I had worn anything but black in two weeks.
"You look like shit baby," and that was of course Shae. I had met her one. She was several years older than me, and Paul's fiancée, we had become very close in the last few weeks. She was quite the character I could see why Paul loved her. Actually I was surprised Paul loved anyone he was more the 'Grrr fuck off type'. But fwoar he was hot.
"Gee, thanks Shaezii, your honesty is appreciated," I snapped, a look of pissed off-ness across my face.
"Ok ok, no need to snap," she then proceeded to walk off. I just glared at the water. But I couldn't be pissed for long. My emotions were so confused. But I think I missed home. I took out my mobile and called Shannon.
"Oh my gosh Catherine I've missed you so much a haven't talked to you in like a wee-"
I hung up the phone. That wasn't it. Oh well.
I ran up to the water.
"Hello ducky, aren't you just so cute yes you are, yes."
The duck then proceeded to attack me. I ran like a freak screaming.
"Oh, so you want to talk to me now." Shae said.
I was cowering near her figure in order to escape the killer duck.
I smiled sheepishly at her. "Hehe," I tried.
"No, you lost your chance."
The blonde walked up to Paul and took his hand, turning around and sticking her tongue out at me.
I made a humphing sound and walked away. But it was in the opposite direction of the duck. Everyone had set out a picnic blanket and I was going to meet some people I hadn't like the mysterious Sam and Emily who made all this food.
I felt out of place, I had no direct ties to this group; they were all kind of normal. I would try to be nice but my emotions were not the best today. Try as I might to hide it that Brady kid really bothered me. I just wanted to know what I did wrong. Shannon must be right I am too picky.
"Sorry Shae. I'm not in a good mood this...Fortnight." I smiled.
She shared a glance with Paul who then shared a glance with everyone else but me. I felt left out so I decided to share a glance with a duck, but not the killer one. It flapped its wings.
"Yeah, that's right go," I said, " I don't need to share any glances with you anyway."
But really I was crushed; I thought that duck and I shared something special. Obviously not.
"Oh honey of course you are," she hugged me.
"Yeaaah," I said, wait what we were talking about?
I sat down on the check blanket and took out a sandwich. It was cut into a triangle and tasted really good.
I sat in solitude, I realised I was being antisocial and not a very nice guest but my emotions could just not be controlled. I just sat there eating the sandwiches and drinking sprite. I lost myself to my thoughts and the reason why I felt like complete shit.
"Do you like them?" asked a girl with a sweet voice.
I didn't raise my head.
"Like what?" I asked .
"The sandwiches, I made them."
I looked up. HOLY SHIT; she had black hair and was wearing a bright yellow dress. She had the Quileute skin and her face, fuck her face she had several scars running along the side and the scared the shit out of me. But I wasn't that rude, I let my shock show for a split second before moulding my face in an expression of welcoming. I assumed this was Emily.
"Yeah, uh they're good."
She smiled at me, seeming to understand my expression.
"I'm glad, for one you are actually tasting them instead of just inhaling them, and you look kinda lonely, so I though I'd talk to you, I'm Emily by the way."
"Yeah, I am a bit lonely. Don't know why, and it's really starting to annoy me." I smiled at her, she was being so nice.
We had a nice conversation about the boys eating habits and then decided to take a walk. We headed up the green grass towards the wooden bridge that crossed the man-made lake. It was a pretty place and I really got to know Emily. She was pretty awesome. She was also engaged, but to Sam. Him I had heard a lot about but not met.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to him."
"Sam, this is Catherine."
Sam was a man taller than Paul and with a kinda sexy mop of hair on top of his head. He just beamed with self confidence and control. He looked at Emily with such a sense of pride when she spoke, he gave her his undivided attention and it was obvious to see why they were engaged.
"Ah yes, the infamous Australian."
"And why would I be infamous?" I asked with a smile.
"Because spending that much time with Seth, has to be affecting you sanity."
I smiled at him. I felt as if I could trust him. I was glad I met him.
"Oh shit, uh Cath-Emily take Catherine to the bridge it's really pretty."
He seemed to be in a state of panic but calmed when he said Emily's name.
"We just came from there." I stated.
"No there's another one, come with me for a walk," Seth was also in a state of panic now.
"I'm alright. I don't want to get sunburnt so I think I'll just sit down and have a drink...or a nap." I turned away from the anxious group and walked towards the blanket. I kept my eyes down and just smelt the fresh air.
All of a sudden all my nerves calmed down, all my anxieties stopped. And I knew what had been bothering me; lack of civilisation. I needed to get to a major city soon. I'll drag the boys with me tomorrow, yeah. Shopping.
I sat on the check blanket and took my pink rug out of the backpack that Seth had stated I did not need. I squinted against the bright light and then a cloud must have covered the sun because the sun was gone. I smiled placed my rug over my head and lent back.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
I sat up in a jolt. I knew that voice, I'd only heard it once in real life and every night in my dreams.
"Brady, hello to you too."
"Shut up Australian."
Wow, that stung, o-wow-ow.
For the love of all things Gucci, someone, please buy this guy an insult book.
"Mmmm, I'll get right on that."
I leant back down and closed my eyes. I didn't put my rug back on my head, he might surprise attack me.
The sun was back in my face so I knew he had gone. I turned my iPod on and just lay there, listening to Black Cat by Mayday Parade. The song played through and then it changed to I Hate Everything about You by Three Days Grace. Love that song.
I felt the blanket move and there must have been someone sitting down. I didn't want to feel too bad so I sat up. And behold, there was Brady, in all his dickhead-ed glory.
"What do you want American?" I asked using his insult, but I did it better. I had more venom in my voice.
"A drink. And I can sit down if I want." He glared at me.
Oooh, there is nothing hotter than an emo guy with sex hair glaring at you. No, bad Catherine. He's a dickhead .
"Whatever."
As much as I disliked his mood swings I had to admit, even if it was to myself that he looked hot. He was wearing black skinny's, a white shirt with black ghost's on it and white- wait is that? I think it is,
"CONVERSE!" I said with a smile.
I reached over grabbed his foot and admired the shoe. I could tell it was custom and it was soo cool. They were ankle length with the Quileute emblem on them in black and it said I'm a dog all over it. I so wanted a pair!
"Wow, I though Collin was being overdramatic when he said you were weird."
I smiled at him, "Babe, I invented weird."
He laughed at me, and smiled, "Could you have not passed the disease on to Collin? Please?"
"Hey, he approached me."
He smiled at me.
"Want a sandwich?" I offered.
"Yeah thanks."
When I offered, I thought he'd only have one or four at the most.
He had 32.
I counted.
Thirty two.
WTF?
"That's quite an um, appetite you got there."
He smiled at me; thank goodness it was after he swallowed.
"I try."
His dimples were showing which was just so cute.
I started to melt under his intense glare when I got caught in his eyes. He was so sweet and attractive, and the look he have me made me feel so important.
I realised we had been staring but I couldn't break my hold. So I smiled at him.
His face shifted from openness it a mask; a cold hard unfeeling mask.
That was so hot.
"Ah, your cheeks and nose are a little red, I think your sunburnt."
Well the moments over now.
"What? !" I screamed.
I grabbed my rug and ran into the shade. I cannot get sunburnt, I just can't. This cannot be happening. The sun comes out three times a year for fuck sake.
"Ahhh, ahh," I sobbed while plonking down under the shade. I shoved my rug over my head and stayed in the same position until Seth said we were leaving. Brady left three minutes after my spazz out.
But I felt heaps better now. No more confusion and being upset for no reason. For I now knew the cause.
"Boys," I said while sitting in the backseat of the vehicle of possibilities, "You better get an early night."
They looked at me wearily.
"Tomorrow we are going shopping."
"No!" Colin looked horrified. I rolled my eyes at him and tried to hide a smile before turning to see Seth's reaction
"Actually, that's good, I need more undies."
NOTE: SHANNON WHAT IF THEY HAD A Séance? THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOOO COOL!
