Chapter 20: The Relocation

Ren: The Oceanview Club, Near the Beach, Sacramento: 8:42pm: 15 June

After telling Tawny to go dance with Kate, I immediately regretted it. Now I was sitting completely alone, and watching everyone else, even Tawny, have fun, and Tawny was always miserable with me, so now I had no one. I should have gone and danced with Kate, or hell, I should have just danced with Tawny, but I felt bad for Kate. She seemed really sad, and no one seemed to notice. Miranda had been a complete bitch to her earlier, and she was actually seeming to come out of her shell finally. She barely said a word to anyone the other few times I encountered her when we were at the beach.

I sighed, as I watched Kate and Tawny. They were a little weird at first, and it was obvious that they were talking about something, though I couldn't hear it, of course. Kate remained looking completely confused, and Tawny put her hair behind her ears sweetly. Why couldn't she pay attention to me like that? The girl went around and kissed my two other best friends, and me and her, we were always just friends, and that was it. The girl drew a line finally, and it was with me. I am the line.

Shit, I was jealous. I was just really lonely though, and wanted someone sweet like her to pay attention to me. Even if she didn't like me, I just wanted her to pay attention to me. It would be so awesome if a boy were like her, but they aren't, ever. I pretended it was all well and good that I was single, but it wasn't. I was horribly lonely, and tired of being hurt by stupid boy after stupid boy. My track record sucked. Everyone always broke up with me. There was something wrong with me, something repulsive. Ruby was right, I was boring. I needed her to fix me.

Tawny wouldn't stop touching Kate's face. They were still talking, and the blonde that neither of us knew very well now had her hands resting contentedly on Tawny's hips. She was looking more comfortable, then I saw a smile, and she looked away like she was embarrassed. All I could see of Tawny was her back, so it was really no fun.

Then Tawny touched Kate's chin with one hand, and guided her face back, and she kissed her. They didn't stop either, they kept going at it. What was this?! It was worse than Lizzie, and Twitty. It was like porn! I winced, and looked away. Curiosity got me, and I glanced back. They were still going at it. Me and my stupid ideas. I just had to feel bad for Kate, and go and tell Tawny to dance with her. I should have known that Tawny would end up making out with her because Tawny did that with everyone, everyone except me, that is. Me. Ren. Ren wasn't good enough for Tawny, but a complete stranger was. There was obviously something wrong with me if even she didn't want me. Boys wanted me, then broke up with me after a week or two, and the girl who made out with everyone didn't want me either.

This sucked. My party sucked. I suck. I wanted to do something crazy, something not Ren. I was going to hook up with someone random like Kate's ex, the hot guy Ethan. I was just going to make out with him, no strings attached, no emotional anything involved, just senseless physical attraction. It would be at Ruby's. We were all going to leave, and I was going to get some. I was going to be a bad Ren. Dammit.

God, Tawny and Kate were still making out, and it was getting worse. Kate's hands were sliding down the back of Tawny's pants. I looked away from them, and saw Lizzie and Twitty. It was like they were competing! Lizzie's back was to Twitty, and one of his hands was down the front, not the back, of her shorts. I wanted to gouge my eyes out! This was all so dirty! Bad and dirty!

I covered my eyes, and rested my elbows on the table, shaking my head.

"Ren?" I heard Monique say.

Looking up, I shook my head again, "Have you seen what's going on over there?"

"Yeah. Are you ready to head over to Ruby's?"

I nodded, "Sure."

"Ruby's told me she was leaving in a few minutes."

Gordo scurried up and ducked behind me, "Keep Ruby away from me, please."

We laughed at him. I felt a little bad, but it was still funny.

"Just stick with me, and you'll be safe." I told him, trying to be reassuring, through my laughter. Ruby had probably tried to rape the poor boy.

"I'll keep an eye on you too." Monique said.

"I think you're in on her whole plan to get in my pants!" He said to her accusingly, still cowering behind me.

"I think…I have never in my entire life…heard a boy say anything like that…" She said, very amused, "Wouldn't you agree, Ren?"

"I would have to say so."

"I have morals, give me a break!" He grumbled.

"Is everyone that's driving alright to drive there?" I asked, having been reminded of my own morals, and struck with sudden concern.

"Yeah, they're good, and those that aren't are carpooling. We're not dumb, Ren."

"Good. Is everyone coming?"

"Yep. Everyone got the ok from parental units."

"Cool. Isn't Ethan really hot?" I asked, trying to display to other people my interest in the boy.

"Kate's Ethan? Yes, oh yes. You want him? I can tell Ruby and she'll work it out."

"You do that."
