Chapter Two: Once Doesn't Mean Anything To Me

"So you're the newbie?" Shelby asked, looking Constance up and down. By now, she was a mess. Her eyes were puff and red from crying and her hair was tousled.

"Is that bad?" Constance asked, almost making it seem like the dumb blonde thing was true.

"Not particularly." Shelby looked around the room. "What are you here for?" Constance shrugged as Juliet walked into the room.

"Stop bothering her Shelby. She just got here." Juliet put on her biggest smile, which was also her phoniest. "I'm Juliet."

"Constance."

"So, who's showing you around?"

"How should I know?"

"Great. Since you don't have anyone to show you around, then I'll take you around the camp." Juliet sat down on her bed and crossed her legs towards Constance.

"Actually, Scott will be showing her around." Sophie stopped in and told them. Constance shivered at that name. Scott . Scott was the very name that . she shook her head. That memory was just too painful.

"But Scott always gets to show the newbie's around." Juliet whined.

"Maybe next time Juliet." Sophie gave her a smile and walked off.

"Is Scott a nice person or whatever?" Constance wondered. Shelby gave her a strange look. " . I mean you guys were talking about how he always shows the new kids around and stuff ."

"Are you scared of guys or something?" Shelby burst out. Juliet nudged her. "If you touch me again they'll be some serious ass whooping going on around here."

"Oohh . we're going to be late!" Juliet exclaimed looking down at her watch.

"Late?" Juliet grabbed Constance's arm as Shelby followed, from a distance. She didn't want to be seen in public with Suzie Sunshine. No way in the world.

"Alina, I just don't know what do with you anymore." Mrs. O' Quinn sighed with her thick Indonesian accent.

"Just let me do what I want to do and then you won't have anymore problems. Understand?" Her mother almost nodded, but she stopped herself. She needed to stray from that habit of letting Alina say what she wanted and do what she wanted.

"No. Alina. This must stop." Her daughter smirked as she placed a cigarette into her mouth and lit it.

"What are you going to do about it then?"

"I'm your mother. Respect me-I know what's best for you." Mrs. O' Quinn repeated the line that had been used too much in the movies she loved to watch.

"Ma. How can you know what's best for you? You can't even take care of yourself." Her mother looked down and away. Recently, her health had been failing her. Having to deal with that, AND Alina's mouth could really cause something serious to happen.

"I must take action."

"Don't feel bad Ma. I'll always be there to take care of you."

"You go to school." Mrs. O' Quinn demanded.

"You know I've been kicked out of every school in this district and the next, and the next." Alina seemed proud of her accomplishments.

"No, a special school," She pulled out a brochure and handed it to Alina.

"But mom, this school is for crazy kids. I'm completely sane." Alina pouted and put on her best puppy-dog face.

"You go."



"So where's this Scott person?" Constance asked for the millionth time during the thirty minutes he had been there.

"He'll be here. Chill."

"I just want to make sure ." Everything got quiet as Constance suddenly stopped talking.

"Hey." Scott smiled. His smile faltered when his glance came to Constance. She looked oddly familiar . and that face that she was giving him . Constance on the other hand was on the verge of a nervous break-down.

She rushed away from the dinner table and out of the cafeteria. Juliet followed her.

"Are you okay?" Juliet asked between gasps. After all, Constance hadn't exactly taken her slow time to leave the table.

Constance shook her head. Tears brimmed her eyes and a mixture of pain and anger crossed her face. "I know him."

I almost didn't have time to add anything to any of my stories, but since I don't have school this Friday, ( I decided to go ahead and update. But, unfortunately I have dance for an hour and a half tonight before I can go home - But you can't win them all.)
