Wahoo! New chapter man!! Ok, just something to go by- anything in italics is a flashback. Yes, we're going back in time lol. Also, I don't know exactly where they are yet.
It's either gonna be the Jersey Shore, or Maine… I'm still debating… which one would you guys prefer? R/R and tell me!!
Disclaimer: Like usual, I don't own anything affiliated with So Weird. I only own Kat, Rob, Gabby, (or well, the mention of 'Gabby') and soon, a brand spanking new character to be introduced soon. Don't sue me- this fic is mine and mine alone- I have nothing! I'm just a dumb person trying to pass high school for crying out loud!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Onto the fic:
" Good run Clu." My roommate Rob said, patting me on the back. I shrugged, smiling.
" Thanks man."
" Your coming with us tonight, right?"
" Where to?"
" The usual place… Gabby's gonna be there too Clu." Rob said, nudging my side. I blushed, shaking my head. " Aw come on. You know she likes you. I don't see why you won't go out with her Clu… it's not like she's not on the top of the social ladder- she's friggen head cheerleader."
" Maybe that's why." I shrugged. " What does she really know about me?"
" You think about these things too much Clu-" Rob said, but I couldn't hear what else he said because someone had pushed me. Turning around I saw Peter standing there, a grin on his face.
" Hey asshole." He said, pushing me again. " I hear your talking about me." He pushed me again, until I was against the wall.
" Peter what the hell are you talking about? I didn't-" I was cut off as Peter began to slam my head into the wall.
" Dude, get the hell off of him!" Rob exclaimed, trying to push Peter off of me. Good luck Rob. Trying to get a vampire off of someone is like trying to move a brick wall.
" Peter, I didn't say anything." I choked.
" But you want to." Peter hissed into my ear. By now a crowd had gathered around us, either trying to help me, or cheer on Peter.
" What the hell? Guys stop it!" Kat exclaimed, pushing Peter away from me. " Ok people, nothing to see here, let's go!!" She shouted, shooing Peter and my friends from the hall. " What the hell has gotten into the two of you??"
" Why don't you ask him?" I spat, trying to catch my breath. Peter was looking at me, smiling. God how I wanted to wipe that smile off of his face.
" Ask me what?" Peter laughed. " Really Kat, I was just teaching him some of the moves I learned at practice today." He explained, looking innocently at him. " Maybe I should have warned him, but, well, I figured he wouldn't mind… the guys and I do it to each other all of the time."
" Oh yeah, attacking someone in the hall is really the way to say 'hey, how ya doing?' Sure Peter." I said, rubbing my neck.
" Guys, calm down. Clu, I'm sure he didn't mean it. He's still new at this being normal thing… cut him some slack." Kat said, looking at me. Peter gave me a smile from behind Kats back and I rolled my eyes.
" Sure, whatever. I'm sorry I over reacted." I muttered, shrugging.
" I'm sorry for catching you off guard." Peter said, extending his hand. I looked down at it, then back at him, trying not to laugh in his face. Like I'd shake that asshole's hand.
" Clu…" Kat warned and I sighed. I shook his hand, gasping as he began to squeeze, his eyes wild. After a minute he let go and smiled. " Thank you. Now I've got a final to study for… can you two TRY not to kill each other for an hour?"
" Yes mom." Peter teased. Kat laughed and headed down the hall. As she shut the door Peter turned, glaring at me. " I mean what I said Bell. You do anything- I mean anything, and I swear, they'll all be gone before you know it… and I'll save Fi for last." He hissed, slamming my head into the wall as he passed.
" Clu?" Kat asked, tapping me on the shoulder. I jumped, looking at her. " Sorry… I've been calling you for like five minutes… spacing out again?" I looked at her, sighing. She really didn't have to be involved in this… but of course, I, like usual, just HAD to go tell her.
" I thought you were going to go study." I said quietly, looking down.
" What's going on?" Kat asked, softly.
" Nothing."
" I know nothing Clu… And Peter slamming your head into the wall and threatening you is NOT nothing." She said sharply and I sighed.
" You heard?"
" Yes, I heard. Now I want to know the truth Clu. What is it that Peter has over your head??"
" You have to swear that you'll never tell anyone." I said softly.
I jumped up, sweat covering my body. I never thought I could hate the night time so much. I used to love to sleep, but now, I hate it so much. Too many memories surface whenever I close my eyes- the good, as well as the bad. Sometimes it's flashbacks to when Kat found out, other times it's when I made the deal with Brent. But they always end the same way… me telling someone else not to tell anyone. I've been saying that a lot… maybe I'll make that my yearbook quote… (A/N no, I do not know if you get a yearbook, or a quote under your name like you do in High School. I'm just making it up.) Yeah, I can see it now. 'Clu Bell… promise you won't tell anyone.' Mom and Dad'll love that one.
I looked at my watch, sighing. I stood up, quickly throwing a sweatshirt over my tank top, still thinking about what Kat had said. She was right- I did have to tell them. I wish I hadn't dragged her into this- she shouldn't be put in the middle, but here Kat was, stuck between Peter and my fight. And not exactly by choice. I made my way to the spot we had designated our 'meeting place' and found her already there, a first.
" What's wrong?" I asked, looking at Kat. She was never early. Not even for the day she had received an award from the dean. She was especially never early to see me.
" Fi almost caught us last night." She said softly, standing up.
" She did?"
" Yeah."
" Shit." I cursed, thoughts running through my head. If Fiona ever found out about what we were doing… she'd never speak to either of us again. " What'd you tell her?"
" I didn't have to tell her anything. She didn't seem to know… or if she did, she didn't say anything."
" Well, was she ok?"
" I don't think so." Kat said and I stopped pacing.
" Why?"
" She's getting nightmares again."
" He wouldn't send them to her."
" Yeah, well, she's getting them." Kat said sharply, standing up. " And your in them."
" Me?"
" Yeah. She says she sees you on a rooftop, calling out to someone, and then Brent appears." Kat explained and I froze. He couldn't be sending her that… he wouldn't tell her. " Clu? What's wrong?"
" That's when we made the deal." I said softly.
" There's more." Kat said softly. " She said that she thinks Peter's changed…"
" She's noticed it?"
" She thinks she just doesn't love him the same anymore… she asked me if I thought he changed too."
" What'd you tell her?" I sighed.
" I said I did."
" Kat!"
" What was I supposed to say? No Fi, you must be insane, Peter hasn't changed? I can't lie to her about anything else Clu!!" Kat snapped, glaring at me. I shook my head, sitting down.
" I'm sorry." I said softly. " Its just that… I don't want her to know. If she knew… do you know how much she'll hate me?"
" Clu, this sucks." Kat said, looking at me. " It just sucks. When is it going to end? I'm not going to tell Carey I'm going to get 'girl things' the entire trip Clu."
" I know… just, keep it going a little more… ok? I'll figure this out, and then we'll tell them." I promised, looking at her. " I'm sorry I dragged you into this, really I am… but… what else was I supposed to do?"
" Look. Let's not fight. What's done is done… I'm sorry for snapping at you… it's just that, well… Carey's getting kind of suspicious…" Kat trailed off and I shook my head. Leave it to Carey to think I was getting it on with his girlfriend.
" Come on… it's almost time for everyone else to be getting up… if we're both missing, they're gonna think something's up." I said placing my hands in the pockets of my sweatshirt. " You go first. I'll come in a while… I'm gonna go for a run." I explained. Kat nodded and began her way back towards the house. I shook my head, turning the opposite way as I began to run along the shoreline.
I've always loved the water and the heat. Maybe that's why I chose Santa Cruz. I mean, the obvious reason was because I wanted to get away from my parents, but I guess I went away for the same reason Fi did. I wanted to live my life. Stay in one place for more then a week, make friends without having to pick up and leave in a few months, not able to see those friends for months at a time. Maybe that's why my roommate and I have become good friends- he's an army brat, and I'm the son of a roadie… great combo eh?
I like my jogs. Gives me time to think- yanno? When I'm running, there's nothing except the path, my mind, and me. No big brother to annoy you, no friends, no enemies, just me, the trees or sand, and my thoughts.
