Lin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jack, knock it off! I need to study; this final is worth half my grade." Lin shoved off her pawing boyfriend, turning back to her English book.

"Come on hun, all you ever do is study. This can't be a healthy habit." Jack played with her medium brown locks, blue eyes twinkling,

"Now, I can show you a healthy habit if you just put that book away." Lin turned, smiling at her boyfriend of two years.

"I don't think so, stud; not tonight," she replied, looking him up and down with her hazel eyes.

"And if you don't watch it, not ever..."

"Well, that wouldn't be a change from the normal, now would it?" Jack said, flopping down on her bed, running his hands through his blonde, ear length locks.

"You can be such a drag sometimes, you know that?"

"If I am such a drag, then why are you still here?" Calling his bluff, Jack shut up. He always played like he could be out having a better time, but in reality, he liked hanging out--just the two of them.

Leaning back on Lin's pink bedspread, Jack started to kick the back of her chair.

"Come on, Lin! Let's go to that party thats going on tonight over at Rachel's. It will be fun, and you could USE some fun right now."

"No...I can't; I have to study. If I don't, I will flunk another test, and I cannot afford to do that," Lin sighed, staring blankly at the book in front of her. Unfortunately, I am not like the all sacred ones who don't study at all, and still get good grades...like that annoying b*tch, Janelle...SHE got to go to that party tonight; I KNOW it. I hope she chokes on a CARROT or something... She thought bitterly to herself before her boyfriend interupted her thoughts.

"Those books are going to be the death of you," Jack said, still kicking the back of her chair. Lin turned and glared at him.

"Well, I hope you give a nice speech at my funeral then."

"No, No...I wouldn't let you die. I would just give you CPR until I revived you." And with a lopsided smile, Jack leaned in and gave his girlfriend a long, and compassionate kiss.

"Hmm...I like that version of CPR..." Lin said, eyes still closed after Jack had pulled away.

Jack brushed her cheek, and kissed her again before pulling away.

"You can get more of that if you come to Rachel's party with me."

"No, I can't," Lin said, standing.

"I actually have to go to the library and get a few books. I forgot to go this morning before class; I just hope they are still there."

Quickly grabbing her bag, Lin shoved her stuff inside of it and hurried out of the building and toward the library.

I don't get it. It seems that everyone else can party and have fun, yet I still have to bust my butt just to pull a B- average, Lin thought to herself as she continued walking down the street. Passing the house where Jack wanted to go for the party, Rachel's, Lin stared at it in a sort of longing. If only... Turning away, she was knocked over by someone, her books spilling onto the ground.

"HEY! Watch where you're going, freak!" Lin said angrily, picking up several pieces of paper and books.

"Sorry. I didn't see you," said a familar voice. Lin looked up to see Janelle Ember handing her back her english book.

"Oh it's you...I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less from you," Lin said curtly, grabbing her book back.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Janelle asked, sounding a bit defensive. Sneering, Lin shook her head at the girl.

"You know what, I don't have time to waste on you. So, if you'll excuse me." She walked past Janelle, banging into her shoulder purposely as she passed. Lin walked quickly in the direction of the library, leaving the party and Janelle behind.

That girl is just so...irritating. All perfect, and never has to bust her butt to get good grades, while making the rest of us look like fools, Lin thought angrily as she started across the street towards the library.

Suddenly, a wave of warmth washed over her and she fell to her knees dizzy. Holding her head, Lin blinked a few times.

"What was that?" She asked herself, standing. Her knee was cut, and her pants had ripped upon the gravel.

"Great; just great..." Lin looked around the road and saw her books and papers scattered all around for the second time that night. She swore. Slowly picking her things up, Lin moved up and down the road when she heard a loud rumbling sound coming towards her. Realizing what it was, she looked up in time to see a large ford truck barreling down the road towards her.

Stupidly, Lin closed her eyes and raised her hands as if to protect herself from the blow. Then suddenly...the noise stopped. Peeking curiously, Lin saw that the truck had stopped.

"I didn't even hear its breaks..." She said, moving slightly out of the way to apologize to the driver, when she noticed that HE wasn't moving either.

"What the..." Just as she said this, the truck started up again, hitting Lin slightly on the side, sending her to the ground with a hard thud.

Lin's head connected with the road with a loud crack, stars floating in front of her eyes as she blacked out...
