Chapter 4

Soon after Rory got on the bus and sat down she heard her name being called. She looked up from the trance that she had enrolled herself in by looking out the window. She smiled. "Hey! I didn't know you were back!" "Well what can I say, I missed my best friend way too much." "They kicked you out didn't they?" "Hey, if they can't handle my attitude then they had no use making me go there anyway." Rory smiled, she hadn't seen her bff Lane for over a year. "Well Lay, you got a point there. This is great you coming here. And on this day too.. I mean with it being…" "Your birthday, don't worry about it being your parents…anniversary and all. Kk? Lane's here too make it all better." She said laughing while putting her arm around Rory. Rory smiled, she always knew when and how to make things better. Rory went back to looking out the window when out of nowhere Lane bursted out singing. "I'm walking on sunshine whoa and don't it feel good hey! Yea don't it feel good…Walking on sunshine, walking on sunshine. I feel the life I feel the love. And don't it feel good?" Rory jerked her head up…"Lane what in the Hell have you been smoking?" Lane laughed…"Nuthin Ror, cant a girl be happy.?." "Not if that girl is you, now what's going on?" "Well this isn't just a visit Ror, my mom thought it would be a good idea if we stayed a while…for like the whole school year while." "OMG!" Rory screamed. Rory grabbed her friend and hugged her soo tight she thought her insides would fall out. Then the bus came to a screeching stop, it jerked her forward and she hit her head against the seat…"What the fuck?" Rory said while rubbing her head. Rory got up to get off the bus. She started walking to her classroom when all of a sudden someone grabbed a hold of her arm and quickly swung her around. "Hey babe, happy birthday." He whispered in her ear. A smile came across Rory's face. "Hey Dave. What's up?" Roy asked while pulling free of his grip. "O nothing just visiting some old friends and checking up on you." "Listen Dave, yu don't need to do that Kay? Little Rory can take care of herself." "I kno I kno but yur my girlfriends best friend and I thought I need to check up on you." "Well yu don't and speaking of yur girlfriend" "DAVID!" screamed Lane as she began running down the hallway. "Lane! Mie baby girl…mm I missed you." He said hugging her tightly in his arms, it seemed as if he never would let her go. "Ok you two break it up separate. GUYS!" "Ror, what's yur prob?" "My prob is that it's a new school year and it's my 16th birthday and my parents anniversary of death and no ones here for me. Not to mention every time yall guys get close it reminds me of mine and deans breakup." "Aww Rory, sweetie come here…" Lane said, "Listen Dean is a class-A jack ass and yu shouldn't think differently. He cheated on you and he deserves to live in the hell that him and that skank Lindsey create together." Rory did a soft laugh as she listened to her best friend ramble on about how much of a jackass Dean was. She was just about to say something when the bell interrupted her. "Great, as much as I'd love to stay here and finish talking with you two I really have to get too class." Said Rory before rushing off to class. "BYE ROR!" Lane yelled down the hall at the rushing Rory. "You know, we really
need to get that girl a boyfriend." She said turning to her boyfriend. "Come on let's get to class."
