*The Rors*

The front door opened with a slam and Hades came running into the kitchen, panting like a wild beast. He darted toward me and brushed against my chair as he ran to his dish on the floor.

"Hades!" I called when he wobbled my chair. "Can't get any work done around here!" I screamed arrogantly.

"Did you say work? Rory, we've been over this, painting your fingernails, is hardly work." Wendy said, coming into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and poured herself a glass of juice as she looked over my shoulder.

"Can I help you?" I asked irritably.

"Are you doing homework?" She asked with a raised brow. Why is everyone acting like its such a big deal if I do homework?

"What's it to you?" I said, covering my paper so she couldn't see the little hearts with Eyeball's name in them.

"What is Casey absent or something?" Wendy said, taking a gulp of her juice.

"Very funny." I stuck out my tongue. Casey was the guy I had always copied my homework from. He was a sorry boy with a crush on me, so I used it to my advantage. And by the way, he was absent. "I sit down to write a paper and suddenly everyone's on my case!"

"Everyone? Everyone like who?" She questioned suspiciously. I could feel my face grow hot.

"The whole world Wendy, even Tabatha knows I'm not a brain." I said quickly. It was okay for Wendy to think I was a bitch, but it wasn't okay for her to think I was purposely messing with Ace and Eyeball.

"You know, I had the funniest conversation with Ace." She said suddenly. Her voice seemed awkward; like she had found out I had borrowed something of hers and then ruined it. I could feel her suspicious eyes on my back.

"Oh really." I said shakily. "Since when do you talk to Ace?" I asked abruptly. I didn't know Ace and her were friends. "What are you guys old chums now?" I said, turning to look at her face turning red.

"N-no." She stammered. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out my sister was lying. "I just ran into him on my jog home, that's all."

"Uh huh." I said, looking her over. Everyone was acting so weird. I didn't want to continue this conversation with Ace, so I quickly changed the subject.

"Do you think I screwed things up with Eyeball?" I said, staring off into a distance. I could only imagine Eyeball's plots of revenge.

"Oh yeah, defiantly." Wendy said shortly.

"Do you think I could ever get him back?" I asked again, but no quick reply came. She seemed to be thinking, and I turned to her as a smirk appeared on her face.

"Show him that you really like him." She said with a flush in her cheeks. She was thinking about something. She was so hard to read. That's what I get for missing out on those sisterly bonding years.

"Oh yeah, like how?" My voice was restless. I was convinced there was no way I could ever win Eyeball back. Not that I blame him.

"Oh I don't know." Wendy said continuously. It was a red flag she had something on her mind. "You could right him a letter, or call him a thousand times a day, or you know, you could break it off with Ace or something. Y-You know, these are just things that first come to mind." Wendy said with a smirk. I had forgotten about her not so subtle crush on Ace.

"You like him, don't you?" I asked suddenly. The question seemed to catch her off guard.

"M-Me? Like A-Ace?" She repeated nervously. "W-What are you cracked?" She answered.

"So you really think breaking it off with Ace will get Eyeball to forgive me?"

"Defiantly!" She said quickly, as her cheeks flushed.

"Are you sure it's not just your hormones talking?" I said with a puzzled look on my face.

"Of course I'm sure! Now go! You must call him! I know it'll break your itty bitty hearts, but it's for the best!" Wendy said, practically shoving me to the phone.

"Wendy. I've really got to finish this, who knows how long Casey will be out for?" I said, climbing back to my seat.

"One phone call Rory, it's easy! Here, I'll dial for you!" Wendy said, grabbing the telephone in the next room.

"Wendy." I whined. "I'll do it later, when I have some privacy!" I screamed, and she hung up the phone and dragged herself back into the kitchen. I began on my paper, as Wendy sat there with her head in her hands.

"Are you going to watch me?" I asked looking at her like she had three heads.

"Well, I want to make sure you're done in time to call Ace. I mean, d- don't you think it would be better to let him sleep on it, rather than telling him at school tomorrow?" Wendy pushed.

"Jesus Wendy! I'll get to it all right." I said with a huff. I went back to writing my paper, when I got up to get a glass of water. When shot up from her seat like a bullet and ran to the phone, pulling it into the kitchen.

"I'm just getting a drink Wendy. Cool it, will ya?" I said, as she sighed and put the phone back.

"I'll be in my room. Call me if you decide to make a phone call!" She smiled, and charged up to her room.

Gee, I wonder if my sister likes Ace? Did she think I was stupid? She got that giddy feeling I get from Eyeball. I could never even see Ace with her. That would be too weird. Besides, Ace didn't do charity work.

I fell asleep at the table, my paper half-written, and my little hearts with Eyeball's name, filling the rest of the page. Wendy charged down the steps dressed for school. I lifted my head as she ran into the kitchen.

"You fell asleep?!?" She boomed. "Did you call Ace?" Her voice was quick, and it almost seemed that her head was spinning off into another demension. Ace's car horn beeped twice.
"Does it sound like I called him?" I asked as she heaved a heavy sigh.

"Well, you have to do it today!" She said, a little two eagerly. "I-I mean, y-you do want Eyeball don't you?" She stammered to finish. I rolled my eyes at her and ran up the stairs to get ready.

I wore a black skirt that came above my knees and a tight green and yellow blouse. Black heels dressed my feet, as I let my hair down. I ran to Ace's car on his fifth honk.

Wendy and I hopped into Ace's car, me in the front of course. I noticed Eyeball was missing and that Wendy glanced at Ace every chance she got.

"Apparently Eyeball walked to school with his stupid brother." Ace explained and I felt my stomach churn. We got to school, and I found myself desperately searching for Eyeball. Wendy hopped out of the backseat, as Ace and I got out smoothly.

"Well, I'm going to leave so you two can talk. So be sure to talk, because talking is a healthy thing to do in a relationship. Or you know you don't even have to be in a relationship to talk. Because friends can talk to friends, which is the best kind, when people are talking just as friends, don't you think?" Wendy said quickly as she shoved me next to Ace. Then she left with a grin from ear to ear. This must be great for her.

"What's with her?" Ace said, looking at her like she was crazy. By the way, any doubts I ever had about that, have now been completely washed away. My sister was crazy.

"I don't know, I just live with her." I said.

"So we need to talk?" Ace said awkwardly.

"Well, you know, if I don't leave now I won't be early for my class, so I think I should be going." I said in a rush and turned to leave. Ace took my arm and stopped me from walking. Damnit!

"Early for your class? You never even go to class." Ace said with a small chuckle.

"Well, I'm turning over a new leaf. And you know what they say, there's no time like the present!" I said, gave him a peck on the lips and darted out of there as fast as I could.

I passed Wendy, not looking at her at all. I knew she'd be mad if she found out I didn't break things off with Ace. I didn't know how to! What if Eyeball never forgave me! What if I really did wind up loving Ace? What if Eyeball and I got married, but I was pregnant with Ace's kid, then we'd have to move from our house in Missouri so Ace could see his kid and then Ace and Eyeball would never speak again, and Wendy would start hitting on Eyeball even though she had three kids with Casey but then was secretly married to Ace, but really did love Eyeball and then stole him from me and I wound up with Casey!!! Breathe Rory breathe!

I was practically hyperventilating in the hallway. It was like an asthma attack, even though I don't have fucking asthma! I can't wind up with Casey! He does my homework! Wait, wait, wait. I had to calm down. I felt like I was going to explode. I felt as if I was going to faint in the hallway, when I saw Eyeball, then everything stopped. Tears rushed from my eyes as I caught my breath.

I ran over to him, dropping both of our books to the ground as I collided into him and hung my arms around his neck, crying into his chest.

"I don't want to wind up with Casey!" I said to him, my voice muffled with tears. He pulled my into the Boy's Bathroom, that was completely empty.

"Calm down." He said stiffly, his warm hands embracing me in a hug.

"Eyeball, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I don't want to marry Casey and have a kid with Ace and have Wendy take you away from me and Missouri!" I said, as I wiped my tears away shamefully. He must've thought I was crazy!

"You're fucking crazy you know that?" He said harshly, without the slightest hint of sarcasm. I was right, he did think I was insane, not that I could blame him at the moment. "What the fuck are you babbling about?"

"I-I don't know. I just want to stay in Missouri." I said, staring at a blank spot on the wall. I sat up on the counter, leaned against the mirror and took a deep breath.

"You're a mess. Do us all a favor and pull yourself together before you go out there alright?" He said, sliding a cigarette behind his ear. He pulled on the door handle as I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Eyeball, I'm sorry." I said shamefully. He was stubborn, and I had been horrible, there was no way he was going to forgive me. Whether or not I let Ace loose.

"So?" He replied his voice hostile. "That doesn't change anything." He said as he left. I wanted to melt into a swirling puddle of mush. He was never going to forgive me. I had screwed him over and up.

I took another deep breath and made it out of the bathroom. I picked up my books that had been kicked all over the hallway, and went into the Girl's Bathroom. My eyes were puffy and red, and I had dark circles under them. Needless to say I looked like hell. I took another deep breath as Wendy charged through the door.

"You didn't do it!" She exclaimed, her tone of voice could not be identified with my weary state.

"Wendy, can we not talk about this?" I said restlessly. I felt like crying my eyes out again.

"Why are you doing this to Ace, to Eyeball even?" She said harshly. She seemed to be angry with me too. Lucky me.

"Wendy, I really don't want to do this now." I said, hiding hot, painful tears behind my eyes.

"Just-"

"Wendy! Not now! I don't want to fucking talk about this all right! Just drop it!" I screamed. "Go back to your fucking books, your lack of fucking friends, and your pathetic, ugly, virgin life and stay the hell out of mine!" My throat hurt like hell from screaming, as tears rushed out of my eyes. I could see her eyes swelling with tears of her own. I instantly regretted my harsh comment. Could I be in more shit?
