Ok, this is just cause I'm in a lovey dovey mood and I feel like writing about it, k?
Linked with my weird little miniseries! And inspired by… um… stuff… so… yeah….
LETS GO! WHOOOPAAAAA!
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
I sighed, looking into the chocolate milk in front of me, hoping it would somehow tell me my future.
As you could tell, no such luck.
Name's Jade, by the way. I am an unofficial Animorph. Yeah, you know, the guys who fight the Yeerks here in America?
I joined their team by chance, really.
Heck, who knew two alien races wanted this planet?
Long story short; I was ten when I met up with my first batch of aliens. I came back with the power to shape-shift. So did two of my friends. Then yadda yadda, yadda yadda… I fought that evil invading race and then my family moved from Australia to America. And then… whaddya know? More evil invading aliens.
Where was I? Oh yeah, my chocolate milk.
And the two people sitting on the other side of me.
Cassie and Rachel.
Cassie was being very sympathetic, and Rachel…well…
She was between peeved off and going to find me a new boyfriend.
By the way, my 'current' boyfriend was being a real freakaziod.
My boyfriend was Marco the Animorph.
Yeah, big surprise there. Not…
We'd just had a serious fight. Again, not much of a surprise considering my boyfriend status has been next to zero ever since I moved here.
The problem was, it was what we fought about that really gave me the shits.
It wasn't about another guy. Or even another girl. Not about the war, or our friends or schoolwork… or even the fight with the Yeerks we'd had the night before (where I'd almost gotten myself killed for him and Tobias).
No. It was about a video game.
I'd beat him in a video game, and he went ballistic. So… I just went ballistic back. The end result was me storming out of the arcade, close to screaming and cursing blue murder (but restraining myself because of little ears).
So… here I was, staring into the chocolate milk, knowing after this I was going to go on a junkfood binge, and maybe crawl into bed for a while, call Amanda up…
"Brian is free"
"Rach, no"
"Aw come on, get over him!" She snapped, folding her arms across her chest and glaring at me.
"I can't. It's not that simple" I muttered, sucking up half the milk though the straw in one go.
"Think of it this way Rachel; what if someone told you to get over Tobias and go out with… I dunno… Jarrod… would you?" Cassie asked her.
"Hell no!"
"Just my point"
"Come on! You're not seriously comparing Tobias to that idiot Marco!" she screeched, and I covered my ears. Damn she was loud…
"Get over it Rachel. I know what you're up to. I know what's coming… and I'm not going"
"But you have to go to the dance! It's your chance to climb the social ladder"
Truthfully, I was pretty low on the food chain at the school. But at least bullies didn't bother me… I'd kick their asses if they did…
"Like I care. In my old town it didn't matter who you were. You were cool just the way you were"
"You're kidding" she groaned "A tomboy like you… and when are you going to get rid of that… those clothes! I swear, sometimes you almost become another Cassie…"
I groaned. She sounded like Amanda sometimes.
"Seriously! You need to learn to show some leg… I'm sure you have great ones under those jeans"
"These jeans are fine"
"Barely"
"They're my jeans, they're all the way from Australia, and I'm not giving them up. End of story"
"Jade would you just look at yourself! You have so much potential here, but you waste it on… on Marco the Idiot"
"He's not an idiot!" I snapped "You of all people should know that! He's saved your butt more times than you can count!"
"Are you suggesting that-"
"I'm not suggesting anything" I turned my attention back to my milk, wanting Marco to be here to hold me… I felt so… so…
Well, I felt like an animal trapped in a corner with Rachel.
"Brad might be…"
"Rachel, I'm not going"
"Oh come on. It'll be fun! And maybe one of the other guys could dance with you… maybe even Ax"
I snorted, trying to keep in laughter at the thought of me and Ax dancing together… it'd be like a mouse and an elephant being stuck in the same cage. Not happening…
"Why not Ax?" she demanded.
"Um, have you forgotten? Rtaia and him are… you know, an item now"
"She's in Australia! And its just one dance…"
One dance. Right.
My first dance in America, and I was practically being forced there.
Not me. I usually loved to dance. Like I did on the ice… it made me feel so free…
What was wrong with me?
Oh. Yeah.
Marco wasn't with me.
Boy would the next week change my opinion of a lot of things.
