Eli: Hey all! Thanks for the reviews. Thelma, you mentioned before that you
liked the way the twins are separated. Um, care to specify anything about
that for me? (Please? Am curious to opinion.) Heh heh heh heh,
Alaskantiger, you will have to wait for a future chapter.
Teresa laid against the back of her bed, remote in hand as she flipped through the channels. Her music was blasting already, so she turned the volume up on the television even louder. She settled on MTV2 and tossed her remote control to the side as she picked up the bowl of cereal on her night stand. She ate as the repeat of control freak played out. When she finished her cheerios, she snuck out to the kitchen and put her bowl into the sink. She carefully took a peek at the front part of her house.
"Damn it." She said to herself.
Her Dad was up and typing on his computer. He never use to get up in the morning. Not until lately. He turned and looked in her direction, but she flinched back behind the wall just in time. She went back into her room and locked the door, knowing that he would come after her soon enough. She opened her window and took out her secret stash of cigarettes and lighted one up. After a few minutes of smoking, she put it out and tossed it into her trash can, covering over it with a tissue.
She stripped off her monkey pajamas, not bothering to shut her window. 'Not like they have much to see, anyway.' She thought to herself as she glanced down at her own body with a wince. Teresa was tall, thin, and almost completely flat chested like a boy. She shook her head and pulled on a pair of fishnets, followed by red capris and red sneakers. She then pulled on a short jersey that cut short. She went over to her mirror and pulled her shirt down low enough to cover up her stomach. (Her dad didn't know that she had a piercing in that area.)
Teresa was fixing her long dark brown hair when she heard her Dad knock on her door. She yelled that she'd be out in a minute. Her knocked again and she screamed louder, not knowing her voice wasn't carrying over her music and TV. He knocked again and she threw her brush at the door. He didn't knock again. She smirked and finished her braids. She grabbed her back pack and sun glasses and exited her room, leaving all her electronics on.
Gabriel was less than amused when Teresa came into the front of the house, the part that had more store than home. He looked her up and down and shook his head. He didn't even have say anything. Teresa growled and tried to go through the front store, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into the apartment. She scowled and went back into her room. He followed to make sure she didn't try to get out through the window again(Even though he had already put bars on them).
She grabbed a pull over black sweater from her floor and put it on, careful not to disrupt her hair. She looked at her Dad and spread her arms. "Good enough?" She asked sarcastically.
"Watch your mouth, young lady." He snapped back at her as he escorted her outside and into the car. She sat back in her seat, arms crossed the entire time. She stared out the window until they reached the school. She jumped out, ignoring any farewell remarks or orders to come home right after school.
She straight to her locker and dropped off her sweatshirt and pulled her shirt up more. She checked her multiple piercings on her ears to make sure all the rings were still there. She felt someone tap her on her shoulder and turned her head and nodded. "Hey Beth."
"Hey Reese. Cool shades." She said evilly. That's when Teresa noticed that her sunglasses had disappeared off of her head and onto Beth's. She shook her head as Bethany passed them back to her.
"Klepto." She accused playfully as shut her locker. Two arms went around her waist from behind and lifted her up off the ground. She let out a high pitch laugh as her boyfriend for the week Eric(Or was it Erin? No matter...) turned her around and put his tongue down her throat. They were pleasantly occupied until Bethany snorted.
"Get a room." She told them.
Teresa ripped her head away from him and laughed. "Look whose talking, Nottingham." She turned back toward her boyfriend and flinched back. "Hey baby, what happened to your eye?"
Erin(Or is it Eric?)'s eyes narrowed. "Fucking wannabe gang jumped me yesterday! I didn't do nuthin', but they wouldn't let up and when I fought back, they just took me down. But I'll get em' back." He told her. "One of the dudes looked just like your guy friend, what'shisname? The one on the football team."
Bethany and Teresa glanced at each other. Beth sighed as her best friend saw red. The teen kissed her boyfriend again, moaning when the over head went off and asked to see him. (His name was Evan.) He pecked her on the lips again and took off toward the office.
Teresa shook her head angrily. "That ass hole! I'm gonna fuckin' jump him myself." She ranted to Beth as they headed toward their first class.
"Reese, you don't know if it was actually him or if your boy for the week was just talking. Your boyfriends hate all your guy friends, from Dom to Chris to even my little brother. Back off Nick." She reasoned as they turned the corner. Teresa didn't reply.
"And you should, Teresa. Wait til I tell you guys." Gracie added as she came up behind them. Beth and Teresa both fake coughed. *Cough*cheerleader*Cough* They joked. She was a year younger than them and they picked on her like she was their sibling. Gracie rolled her eyes. she was use to it. "Whatever. Anyway, you guys won't believe it." She said excitedly.
They waited for her to continue but she didn't. "And?" Teresa asked. Gracie shook her head. "Nicky came home last night hella late and woke up the entire house. You know how he is suppose to be on probation with Uncle Danny and stuff. And to top it all off, he came home drunk. He passed out on his bed! Uncle Danny flipped out and Aunt Lee started crying! God, it was a blood bath! Chris only got an hour sleep cause of it." She told them informingly.
"Since when does Nicky drink?" Beth asked, confused. This wasn't the kid she or Gracie or Teresa were friends with. Gracie shrugged. "Don't know, but Uncle Danny is furious. He almost ran over an old woman when he dropped me and Chris off at school. Wouldn't let Nicky go. I swear, I think Uncle Danny is this close to turning him in for under age drinking. If it weren't for Aunt Lee..." Gracie shook her head.
They were all quiet for a moment. Then the bell ran. They said good bye to Gracie and started for their next class.
-Later-
"JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!!" Teresa screamed at the tops of her lungs before she slammed her door shut, locking both of her locks. She had gotten another Friday school for cutting class, and her Dad was less than pleased. And finding marks on her neck as to show what she had cut class to do didn't help. She tried to explain how she didn't need the class and how she would pass it anyway and how she was so desperately in love with Eric, er, Evan. She growled again.
Her dad had no idea what she went through everyday!
She threw her pillows off the bed, along with her goth teddy bear. She began throwing everything in her way. She tossed her lamp, her covers, her chair, her back pack and books. she picked up a picture frame off her night stand and went to throw it and stopped. It was a picture of her mom, eternally young and pretty. Teresa put it back down on her night stand and cooled off.
She went over to her mirror and put her head down for a while at her dresser. When she opened her eyes again, her room was dark and bleak. She turned on her other lamp and looked at her reflection and shook her head. 'All this damn sulking ruined my make up.' She fixed her eyes liner and reapplied her lipstick just in time to hear a whistle by her window.
Teresa grinned and opened it up. She took out her screw driver and undid three of the bars to her window quickly. she turned off her light and climbed out her window and into her boyfriend's arms. She licked his bottom lip and smirked. "Let's have some fun..."
