**************************************************************************** *********

The lunch turned out to be vegetable soup and grilled cheese. THis didn't exactly have happy memories for Kristin...



***FLashback***

"Damnit, I told you to clean the kitchen!" Her dad yelled to 6-year-old Kristin. "Sorry, daddy," She mumbled, picking up her bowl of half-eaten steaming-hot vegetable soup. "I don't care!' He screamed, stormed over to her grabbed the bowl of soup and threw it on her shirt. Luckily it was a think, loose shirt, but the pain was still tremendous. Her dad must've not been to drunk because he quickly wiped her off. He musta been high, though, because he siad he was sorry about a thousand times. She stared at him with wide, scared eyes. WHy couldn't he be high all the time?

***end of flashback***

"Hey, Kristin!" Scott called from the doorway. Kristin groaned lightly. "What?" She grumbled, not looking up. "Hey, nice to see you too!" He said sarcastically. Kristin grinned a little. She reminded him of her cousin, one she hadn't seen since she was 3 or 4. He would always play and talk to her like she was his age, whihc she didn't have a problem with. At the time, she was the youngest in the entire cousin. Now she has about 10 cousins younger than her. "Sorry." She muttered. He sat down across from her. "Sorry about Shelby. I mean, she's my girl and I love her and all, but sometimes she is an ass. She's to very sensitive." "Yeah, so I've noticed." She responded shaking her head. "Well, how was your trip?" He asked. "Okay I guess." "DOesn't sound like it went alright." "You know..." "What?" "You are just like my cousin. His name was Scott to. My dad stopped taking us on family trips, so I didn't see any of my family agian. All's I know is his parents divorced." Scott got a flashback.

***Flashback***

Eight-year-old Scott chased about 4-year-old Kristin around. "I'm gonna get you!" He yelled and tagged her. "Ha! Not fair! Your legs are longer than mine!" She whined. "Whatever!" He said, laughing. "Kristin! Get your ass over here NOW!" Kristin's dad screamed from her Uncle Martin's house. Scott, her, her dad were the only ones there. "I'll be right back." She said quietly. She never came back. Scott went back into the house and found her on her bed, sobbing uncontrollably. Her shirt was ruffled up a little and he could see bruises on her back.

***End of flashback***

"Y-yeah, well, I've g-g-g-otta go..." He said, taken back by the flashback. "Yeah whatever bye." She said coldly and threw her tray away and walked off. She wondered around the campus. She saw Auggie and Brandon running around. More like Brandon running away and Auggie *trying* to keep up. Kristin smirked. All of a sudden she got a strong urge to call Adam.

She walked to Peter's office and knocked on the door. "Can I make a phone call?" "To who?" He asked, not looking up. "Adam?" "Make it quick, Kristin. Do you want privacy?" "No, I want you to listen to the whole entire conversation. Include when I tell him when I lost my vir-" "Okay, okay, bye..." He muttered and shook his head. She was turning out like Shelby.

Adam: Damn it-oops, sorry mom!- Kristin quit screwing with me!

Kristin: Okay, okay. I guess. Just a black eye and a few bruises.

Adam: Just a black eye-Mom, go away and take HIM with you (Adam is talking about his mom's boyfriend)-Kristin? JUST a few bruises? I'd kill him and then some if I were you. I've never had a black eye in my life.

Kristin: You came to school with that bruises just below your eye one time.

Adam: Man, Kristin you SAW my hit the door how you gonna talk about THAT? Don't even relate that ot what your dad did to you.

Kristin: Adam, just drop it. So, what are you'll working on in band?

Adam: As a class we're doing this song called "Up On The HouseTop" and each person is doing pass-offs for the concert. I don't think anyone except me, Kacee, Renee and Ashley will be in it from our class, everyone else has only passed off "Patriotic's Salute" and some people not only that by Sierra and Amanda did "Christmas Kings" which is the second song. It's OK I guess. Kinda boring.

Kristin: Yeah, I guess. I have to go, looks like someone's in trouble. Bye.
