Sk8er Boi
Chapter Two
(What Cara Is Doing As She's Writing This: Still on vacation. We're at a restaurant. Kill meh. And not just a fast food place either. We're at Olive Garden. I brought my notebook since there is really nothing else to do. Not like my parents notice. My little sister is talking about how EXCITED she is to start school. I remember those days. My little sister is far too perky. I wonder what she'll be like at 15. Probly a cheerleader or something. )
(A/N: Wow, I never thought I'd actually get reviews on this. Keep up the R&R!)
(To My Reviewers: Thanks. Without you, this fic wouldn't exist. Well, actually, it would, but whatever. twstrsgirl: yes I do realize we have the same name. Sorry about that. Hope you don't mind too much. Of course Reggie's pissed. If I was Reggie I'd be pissed too. Lizzie D: POST YOUR HEY ARNOLD FIC!! Haha, potatoes rule. If Reg beat up laura that'd be hilarious. But she won't. NC: when I first wrote this I was listening to the song too. Uh...yeah. Saph: I love the song too.)
(One More A/N Before I Actually Start the Story: I dunno if there'll be any song parts in this fic. Probly not. But there'll DEFINATLEY be one in the next chapter, which I will put up soon. Much Love~cARA)

[An Entry of Reggie's Diary...}
Diary,
I can't believe Twister has a girlfriend. Laura. She seems really snotty, if you ask me. I know I shouldn't judge people before I even know them, but I can't help it. I took one look at the way Twist was hugging her and I hated her. I dunno why I feel this way...I should be happy for Twister. So why do I want to beat Laura over the head with my skateboard every time I see them together? (A/N: Last sentence inspired by Lizzie D. Thanks.)
{End of Diary Entry}
Reggie skated down the Pier. She was trying to avoid Twister and Laura. She also wanted to avoid Otto to keep him from asking her why she got so pissed off every time Laura's name came up in conversation.
Then she saw her. Laura. Standing there, eating an ice cream cone and talking to one of her friends. She heard one of them say something about Twister. She hid behind a bench and listened to their conversation.
"So you're really going out with a skater?" the other girl said, saying the last word with distaste.
"Yes, Morgan, I am. What's so wrong with that?" Laura replied, rolling her eyes.
"What's wrong!? Do you want a list??"
"What do you mean?" Laura asked, confused.
"Uhh...Laura, hon, listen to me. People of our social status DO NOT go out with skaters. We simply don't. Think of what your parents would say."
"So? I don't care what my parents would say. I don't even like my parents."
"Laura, go out with someone who will amount to something. Please. That Twister boy never will. He'll just be...a skater."
"Whoa...that girl has some serious issues," Reggie muttered to herself.
"Did you hear something just now?" Laura asked.
"No, why?" Morgan asked.
"Cause I thought I heard someone talking."
"Oh. So...are you gonna dump Twister or not?"
Laura looked unsure. She knew what wanted to do, but Morgan was right. If more people knew about this she'd be ruined. And what about her parents? They'd probably disown her! "Yes. I will." She said decisively.
"Good." Morgan said, as the two girls walked down the Pier and disappeared into a store. (A/N: Are there stores on the Pier? If there aren't, then too bad, there are now.)
Reggie just sat there behind the bench trying to make some sense of what she just heard. So Laura was more concerned about her reputation than Twister's feelings? Or was she just using Twister? Did she ever really care about him!? And poor Twister...his heart would be broken. She had to tell him. Or should she...he might not believe her. Then he'd get mad at her and that wouldn't be good. (A/N: Well duh.) But she HAD to tell him. He was one of her best friends and she cared about him. She couldn't bear to see him hurt. (A/N: Awww.)
~*~
It was two days later and Reggie still hadn't told Twister. She just couldn't. She could hear Twister, Otto, and Sammy talking outside while practicing street hockey.
"Hey guys, wanna go surfing this afternoon?" said Otto, aiming a shot at the goal.
"Sure!" Sammy said, blocking the puck.
"Can't guys. Laura and I are going to the 24th Annual Ocean Shores Potato Festival. Sorry. Hey, maybe we can do something tomorrow." Twister said, getting the puck and aiming it at the goal again.
Otto and Sammy just stared at him. A festival about potatoes? What was up with that? (A/N: They are God's gift to the people and to the gravy, that's what! Uh sorry, got a little excited therre [LoL, talking ghetto].)
"What!?!?" said Twister, looking at them. "It was Laura's idea," he added.
Reggie heard all this. She figured that Laura was going to break up with Twister at the Potato Festival. She had to tell him now. She ran out of her room, down the stairs, and threw open the front door. The 3 boys looked at her.
"Otto and Sammy, go away. I need to talk to Twister," said Reggie, a little out of breath.
Otto and Sammy just stood there, oblivious of the fact that Reggie wanted them to leave.
Reggie tried again, "I have to talk to Twister...IN PRIVATE."
Sam got the hint and skated away to sit on the other side of the street (by his house), but Otto would do no such thing. "Why can't I be here Reg? What you have to say to Twist you can say to me too."
"GAH! Must you always be such an idiot?" Reggie said, losing her temper at Otto. "Come on Twister, let's go inside." She shot a final glare at Otto and stomped inside. Twister followed her, looking dumbfounded.
"So what do you need to tell me?" Twister asked, looking at her.
"Well, Twister, I think you better sit down for this," she said kindly. He sat. "Good," she continued. "Twist, two days ago when I was skating, I saw Laura and one of her friends."
"And you wanted to tell me this...why?"
"Wait, there's more. They were talking...about you."
"So?"
She looked pained. She really didn't want to tell him this, but it was for his own good. Or so she hoped. "Twister, Laura is going to dump you. She doesn't want people from her social circle to know she's going out with a skater."
"What? Laura wouldn't do that. She loves me," Twister said, lloking up at Reggie unbelievingly (A/N: Is that a word??).
"Twister, I saw her. She said that. I heard it."
"Geez, Reg, I never thought you'd be jealous of her. You're still my friend even though I have Laura now."
Reggie looked at him in astonishment. How could he be so dense?
"Twister, I'm not lying. Get it through your head. I'm just trying to help you."
Twister looked at her angrily. "Yeah, you're just trying to turn me against her. Why do you hate her so much, Reg?"
Reggie sighed. "Look, Twister. I don't hate her. And I'm NOT jealous of her," she lied.
"Yeah you are."
"No, I'm not. How can you be so dense?" She lost her temper again. Why wouldn't he believe her??
"Reggie, Laura loves me. She wouldn't do a thing like that. No matter what you say."
"Fine Twist, don't believe me. I'm not lying to you, you know. You're just too much of a dumbass to realize it."
He stood up, looking really pissed off. I still don't believe you. I'm going outside to go on a date...with my GIRLFRIEND," he said, saying the last word scathingly.
That made Reggie mad. "Go to hell," she muttered.
He stared at her. That was a very un-Reggie-like thing to say. "I'll see you there," he replied. He stomped back outside. She could hear him talking to Sam and Otto again.
She glared at nothing in particular. How could he not believe her? Was he really so in love with Laura that he didn't care about what she said? (A/N: Does that make any sense?) She sighed and angrily plopped down on the couch. That didn't go as well as she'd planned.

(A/N: Wow, done. This was a little different than I originally wrote. Oh, and please email me with suggestions or post them in your reviews.)
(One Last Thing: I am not against all preps. I'm really not. Some are even my friends. I just can't stand the ones who are so wrapped up in themselves or what their friends would think to care about anyone else's feelings. That's all, thanks. Please R&R!!!!!!!)
