Sk8er Boi
Chapter Four
(Cross Country: Well guys, I've been up since 6. We had a cross country meet this morning. I didn't get to run, owing to the fact that my dumbass parents scheduled our vacay in the middle of cross country season. Well, I got to write splits. I got them pretty accurately considering I forgot to start my stopwatch for 2 of the 4 races. Sorry, freshman/sophomore girls and guys! Then we went out to eat. Muahaha, my dad gave me 10 bucks and I only spent like 4. I'm keeping the rest. Hehe. I want to thank Sarah for giving me a ride home. If it weren't for you I'd still be at the restaurant. Love Ya'll~Cara)
(A/N: Keep up the reviews guys! And remember, I like long reviews. So write a lot!)
(To my reviewers: Thanks. Lizzie D: This was a very sad chapter. Probably the saddest in the whole story. I wanna hug Twist too. *hugs Twister* There. twstrzgirl: I also knew Laura was a bitch. But that would be because I made her up. I'm not satisfied with it because I am very critical of myself. Torturing Twister is fun. And I wuv him too. Wind Goddess: I read your fics. Very nice. Everyone, go and read her fics! Don't feel sorry for my sister, she got to stay at the hotel with me. And she also dropped my video camera down the stairs. Casey: I'm not gonna comment on what's gonna happen. ;-) You'll find out soon enough. Rainy: Laura reminds me of a person at my school too. Awww, your bus broke down? Poor you. NC: Thanks.)
(A/N: In the words of Squidward: Well, here you go.)

(A/N: Picking up right where left off in chapter three...)
Twister sat at a table by himself, surrounded by empty paper cups. He had been sitting there for the past hour, drinking shakes and wallowing in despair. Ray and Tito were worried about him.
"Hey Tito, what's wrong with Twister? Do you think it has something to do with his girlfriend?" Ray said in a low voice.
"Probably, brudda. You know what the ancient Hawaiians say: the common seagull can never share the same nesting ground with the pelican." (A/N: Translation: a snotty, bitchy girl like Laura would never really want to go out with Twister.)
Ray looked confused. "But there's no pelicans in Ocean Shores."
Tito sighed and shook his head, "There's just no hope for some people."

Reggie sat on her bed, staring at nothing in particular. After what happened yesterday, she really didn't feel like talking to anyone, especially Twister.
{An Entry of Reggie's Diary}
Dear Diary,
How could she do this to him? Just break his heart like that? On one hand, I don't want this to happen to him. He shouldn't have to go through this. On the other hand, I want her to do this. Then Twister won't be going out with her anymore. Am I evil or what?
I should really go talk to him. But he's probably still mad at me. Maybe he thinks I told Laura to break up with him. But I'd never do that. Ever.
Maybe I should go outside. It might clear my head.

Reggie walked outside and saw her brother shredding on the half-pipe and Sammy sitting on the driveway typing something on his laptop.
"Hi guys," she said.
"Hey Rocket girl! Watch this," he said, preparing to do a skateboard trick (A/N: And I have no skateboarding knowledge whatsoever...).
"Hi Reggie," Sam said, not looking up from his computer. Reggie sat there for a while, thinking about things.
"Hey Reg, where's Twister?" Otto said.
"How should I know," she said a little irritably.
"Oh."
"Can you go see if he's at his house?" Otto asked.
"Why should I go? Why can't you?" Or Sammy?" Reggie still didn't want to see Twister. She figured he was still mad at her. (A/N: Aww.)
"But I'm about to try out a new move," said Otto.
"And I wanna finish this computer game," Sammy said.
It looked like there was no way out of it. "Fine," Reggie muttered. She walked across the street and knocked on Twister's front door. Unluckily for her, Lars answered.
"Hi...other Rocket dork. What do you want?" he asked, looking at her.
"Hello Lars," Reggie said, looking at him irritably. "Is Twister around?"
"Oh...he's upstairs." If you wanna go talk to him, go ahead. He's in his rooms."
"Ok." Reggie started walking up the stairs.
"Bye Rocket dork!" Lars called after her.

Reggie walked down the hallway to Twister's room and cautiously pushed open the door. She found him lying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Uh, hi Twist. Can I come in?"
He looked at her and didn't answer. She took that as a yes and walked inside the room. "Twister, are you ok? What's wrong?" She sat down on his bed.
"Laura dumped me," he said, his face streaked with tears. "Just like you said. I'm sorry Reggie, I should have believed you." He sat up next to her on the bed and she hugged him. (A/N: Awww...so sweet.) He put his head on her shoulder and just sat there.
"It's ok Twist." They just sat there for a while, not saying anything.
Suddenly Twister had a thought (A/N: Ohhh...scary. Twister's thinking.). "Reggie, why did she dump me?"
"I don't know Twister. She cared more about her reputation than anyone else's feelings...she was a bitch."
He smiled up at her appreciatively. "Thanks, Reggie," he said. After being silent for a while, he added, "I still wish this never happened."
"Don't worry, Twister. You'll find someone better."
He looked puzzled. "Like who?" he asked.
"Oh...I don't know..." Reggie said. She kissed him softly on the cheek and walked away. Twister watched her go; staring at her as if seeing her in a whole new light.

(A/N: That was kinda short. And sweet. I might not update again for a while. School-related stuff [we start on the 29th] and cross country take up a whole shitload of time. Please R&R!!!)
