Heya Neighbor!
I just want to thank all of you reviewers! You guys rock! And to you people who keep telling me it's a Mary-sue and to try a better story line, please stop trying to change my story or to make it the way you want it to be. If you want to change it so much, make up your own story. Fan fiction is a place where you can express your own ideas, not what one person wants you to write. At first, I felt forced to write this, but after I decided to post this story up and it has grown on me! Again, thanks to all you reviewers!
Chapter 6: Finding Out
They stuck with the game plan and luckily, they made it out of the school with a couple of people short. Tomika and Leonard took the fall for the gang, but all was good. Zack and Freddy took turns carrying Crystal, who surprisingly was not a petite lady. She looked pretty skinny, so they wondered where all that weight was coming from. Finally they realized the bunch of chains, studded belt, cell phone, and pager that was on her pants. They stuffed all that into her bag and the journey became a whole lot easier.
They finally reached her house, where Summer dug into Crystal's bag to find the key. They unlocked the door and went upstairs and entered her room, laying her softly onto her bed. Well, if you call Freddy dumping her roughly on the bed.
"Freddy!" Everyone yelled in unison, except for well, Freddy.
"Okay, okay. No need to bite my neck off." He adjusted her legs into the center of the bed more and reached up and put her blanket over her.
"Summer, stop cleaning her room!" Katie hissed at Summer, who was already rearranging Crystal's clothes and CD's.
"I'm sorry. It's just she's been here for only 2-3 weeks and this place looks like a hurricane went through it." Summer gently lay a piece of clothing into a drawer.
"Yeah, whatever, this is nothing compared to Freddy's." Marta said.
"And how exactly would you know?" Zack asked, with a smirk on his face but Katie immediately took it off his face by smacking him ion the head. "Ow." He moaned.
"Hmmm....." Crystal moaned in her sleep. "Lucky charms......" They all started cracking up, but the girls even more. There was something about Crystal and lucky charms they never got. She mumbled it when some people were awake at the girls' sleepover and it was like the only thing she ate at the sleepover. She ate a lot of it.
"C'mon, let's go downstairs." They all walked towards the door when they heard Crystal again.
"White Stripe's need bass...." They actually agreed on that one and it looked like Crystal was beginning to be her old self......maybe....maybe not.
While waiting for her to awake from the slumber, they rest of the gang offered themselves to the television and the snacks of the Matthew's.
"You think you'll miss the pain killer high Crystal?" Marta asked the gang.
"I already miss her old self." Summer sighed.
"What could you possibly miss? The excessive amount of times she stumbled over her own feet, the countless smacks to her head, the many times she stuttered on her words, or the-"
"Shut up Freddy." Katie smacked him the arm.
"We mean, the sarcastic, witty, little clumsy-" Marta was cut off by her boyfriend.
"Little clumsy? Try really clumsy!" Freddy corrected them.
"Fine, how about the girl that could easily kick your ass?" Zack questioned and the girls started cracking up.
"I think-" Freddy was going to speak, but then it was Marta's turn to cut Freddy off.
"that's what we all miss.... It's so nice of you to agree Freddy." Marta kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, when you do that, maybe I'll reconsider on what I was about to say." Freddy proceeded to press his lips against Marta's and then a full out make-out round of theirs was on.
"Ew, guys! We're like, here!" Summer yelled at them as she turned on the TM.
"Holy crap. She has like every channel in the world. Where's the WB?" Summer started scanning through the channels until she hit it. The rest of them were snacking off on junk food and what not for about an hour or two.
Unknown to them, someone got off her sleep spell a little early. Crystal gently lifted the covers off of body and cradled her head in her hands.
"Ouch...What happened to me?" She started to massage her forehead, but it was no use. She groggily looked at her clock, but the numbers looked a little unfocussed since she just woke up. Finally she rubbed her eyes furiously and saw the time. It was 2:30 p.m.
"Did I miss school?....and, what the fuck happened to my hair?" Suddenly her headache was gone and she ran into her washroom. She gazed into the mirror and surprisingly, she didn't scream.
"Wow..... I look....great." She smiled and while turning herself around while looking into the mirror. "I have to thank whoever did this........did I get drunk or something?" She started thinking and that's when a strip of events started playing in her head. She remember, tripping over a pair of legs, getting a gash, Freddy helping her, and then popping some pills into her mouth- "Oh, no..... that's not possible...uh, well, if I can't remember it, I guess it never happened..... in plus, it wouldn't help looking if I got a tattoo."
She quickly undid her pants and looked to her back, but there was nothing. "Damn...... what day is it today?" She exited the bathroom and entered her room again, but looked at it strangely.
"Woah, did I go on a clean up fest or what!" Her room looked a bit neater thanks to Summer, but nothing big......well, actually according to Crystal it was something big.
She quickly changed out of her school clothes and into her pajamas. She took some baggy, plaid pants, and a black tank-top. She slipped on her fluffy black slippers and combed her hair, which flicked out at to her side. "Cool." She uncovered her bandages to reveal dried up blood and a small opening. She winced as she touched it and made a mental note to yell at Marta and Freddy later about the Problems, Troubles and Faults of Making Out.
Much to her disliking, she applied some alcohol to her cut to clean it up and rinsed it with water. She wrapped it with more bandages and actually did a pretty good job. She smiled at the mirror and looked at her digital calendar.
"Wednesday?" 'Wow, well I had a pretty short time at Katie's. I must have dozed off really bad after those pain killers.' She thought to herself. Boy, was she wrong. School would be a big pain for tomorrow, not that she realized that now.
She went down the steps and decided to get some ice cream. She suddenly really had this big urge for it, although she never really ate it. 'How strange....' She thought again. She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge, when she heard the TV on. 'Weird, everyone is supposed to be gone today. Today's Wednesday. Corey's with mom, dad has a big surgery planned today and Brooke's at a cheerleading initiation.' And then she heard laughter.
'Stay calm Crystal. You're hearing things, but the TV is on.........okay, uh, you know what.... You're going to march up to the intruder and tell them to get their ass out of your property or else you'll kick their ass to a bloody pulp.....or you can run.... That works too.' She thought hard about it and decided on the first one. Whoever it was, she couldn't just let them stay in her house and use the-
"Oh no, stupid bitch is watching satellite. Now it's on." She muttered quietly to herself. She silently dug into the far end drawer which contained a switch blade.
She crawled, yes she crawled, over behind the couch and peeked up from the top and looked down. She saw Marta and Freddy making out and that's when she fumed. She stuffed the switchblade under the couch, planning to get it later. She saw Summer look at them in disgust and Zack and Katie making vomiting faces, while watching whatever the hell foreign flick it was.
'Hey, I sit on that couch!' And as if reading her mind, Summer decided to speak about it.
"Ay, Crystal sits and lies down on that couch. I think you're ruining it for her." Summer pointed out, with Zack and Katie agreeing through eating cookies.
"What she doesn't see, won't hurt her." Freddy stated, while continuing to kiss Marta's neck while she giggled.
"But what she does see, can blind her and why heya neighbor! Yes, you can make-out on my couch with your rabies infected mouth." Crystal said out of no where and everyone stared up at her with a confused look, deciding whether it was the real Crystal or if it was the high Crystal.
"Is this a staring contest? Because I'll tell you now: I lose really badly on those. My eyes start to water then I blink, then I look like I've been crying and then the kids start making fun of me an-"
"Oh it is you!" Summer hugged her in a caring embrace. How could they all tell? She wouldn't shut up. At least when she was high, she didn't bother talking much, but use actions. After all, actions speak louder then words, she would say.
"Welcome back." Zack waved at her but Crystal looked at them weirdly.
"Was I knocked out for that long? Did I miss school because of the whole Freddy and Marta scam?"
"Freddy and Marta scam?"
"Didn't Freddy and Marta tell you that I tripped on them while they were, ahem?" Crystal asked, completely clueless.
"I thought you guys said you just hooked up today......" Katie, Summer, Zack looked at them with a 'you better explain now' look to Marta and Freddy.
"Oh..... sorry... I just figured you already, um yeah, told them since you were going out full throttle on my couch." Crystal stuttered, while twiddling her hair in her fingers.
Marta decided to cut through the silence. "Well, do you like your hair?"
"Oh yeah, I loved it.... well, I was a little freaked and stuff, but I like it.... who did it?"
"Us girls and Billy..... but Katie and Billy most of it." Summer answered.
"Thanks.... So back to my question...was I knocked out for the whole time?" Suddenly, the phone rung and Crystal picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Alright missy. You mess around with my babe, Dave, and you mess with me..... dragging him to a date and bringing your guy friends to beat him up! You sissy ass hoe."
"Um, I think you have the wrong number." Crystal said very much perplexed.
"Really? Is this Crystal Matthews?" The girl said slightly scared now.
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, then I don't take back what I said. Meet me outside the school right after school and we'll see who's the tough girl." The girl hung up after that, so Crystal never got a word in. She put the phone down and looked at everyone.
"Um, I think that was Dave Cleer's girlfriend..... she was yelling and babbling about wanting to take me on after school...I think she's sick or got the wrong name or something if she thinks I'll ever date that guy." She scratched her head and Summer started to laugh nervously along with Katie. Zack started to look to the side and scratching his head. Marta put her hands on her lap and her eyes started wondering around the room and Freddy was just, well he was just being Freddy. Since she saw Freddy wasn't doing anything, she decided to ask him. She was going to get the answer out of him the only way she knew. She made her way around the couch, pulled Freddy by the collar.
"Tell me what happened or I'll smash or face to bits." When she said that, everyone actually believed her. After seeing David Cleer run like a baby, they weren't so sure she was joking.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." He snapped out of her grasp and started making a protective area around himself, and making an X with his arms around his legs and 'stick.'
"Woah, Freddy, I give you threats like that all the time.... What's the big deal now? What happened?" Everyone started to feel sorry for the naïve girl.... She had no idea what was going on.
Freddy began to tell the story of yesterday's and today's events, with everyone else adding other things. Even he began to feel sorry for her as her face fell and look like she was going to cry. She was sure now that she had more enemies than before. Katie draped her arm around her in a comforting hug.
"Well..... I guess, I have nothing to do, but to either beat her up which I'm not going to do, or back out and tell her I'm not going to fight, which is what I'm going to do." Crystal sighed and everyone looked at her a weird expression.
"What? You're not mad!? 'Cause if your not mad, I think you're going mad!" Freddy exclaimed.
"Calm down.....yeah, I am, but I like brought it on myself with the pills..... and you do realize that what you said didn't even make sense, right?" Crystal stretched her arms.
"Yes, I'm completely aware of that but!, it was our fault... if we were never there than this would have never happened." Freddy was surprised at himself for trying to deny her faults when he would have gladly let her put the blame on herself before. In fact, everyone was too.
"Yeah, but if you guys were never there, I wouldn't have gotten this cool do." She smiled at Katie, "I wouldn't have stood up for myself," She smirked at Summer, "I wouldn't have done crazy things like join choir," she laughed at Zack's way, "I wouldn't have made a difference and gave about all my pocket money in the homeless organization," she patted Marta on the head, "And I guess, I wouldn't have spoken to you, apologized, and have a few laughs with you." She looked at Freddy with a smile, who returned one. "Remember dude, everything happens for a reason...with some ups and downs... this time there just happened to be a lot of downs which I would not like to mention till tomorrow..... but anyway, I'm okay....although, there is a favor I ask of you."
"What?" Freddy asked.
"Could you stop making out on my couch?" She asked and everyone laughed.
"I think we can arrange something." Freddy chuckled and she playfully punched him in the arm. That whole day they stayed at her house and later on after school everyone came by her house to see her. Eleni hugged her so tight she thought her lungs would explode. She kept saying how much she missed her and who could mind that. Crystal was really flattered. She was actually pretty over-excited when Eleni and Lenny brought her a small little box of ice cream.
Everyone had already left and it was just Freddy and Crystal, who were just talking about their probably favorite topic at the moment, Corey.
"Walkie talkies?" She asked him while stuffing her face into the ice cream.
"Sure and could you not stuff your face like that?" He gave a disgusted look.
"I don't know why, but I have this strange craving for ice cream, which is totally weird because I don't rally eat it much." She used his sleeve to wipe the ice cream off her face.
"Ew! Gross!" He squirmed and she laughed. She had a good time with Freddy that night. It wasn't very productive or anything and it wasn't even good time fun. It was pointless fun time, nothing special.
When she went to sleep that night, she just prayed, prayed that everything would be okay..... after all, she only joined choir.......
Thanks for the reviews dudes and I hoped you like the chappie!
So HaPPy
