Chapter 1:
"Last day of school, finally." Gordie grumbled through the sweaty halls of Castle Rock High. His t-shirt clung to his thin body as they walked.
"Almost didn't make it." Chris said with a foolish grin. A droplet of sweat kissed his forehead.
"I can't wait to jump into the lake." Gordie jeered as he wiped a hand across his forehead. "If I don't get out of here soon, I'm going to melt into the puddle."
"Then I'll have to carry you around in a bucket. Hello, this is my friend Gordie." Chris said with a laugh as his blue eyes sparkled.
"Well it's a good thing we're going to the lake right after this."
"Not so fast. As soon as Teddy and Vern get here, we have to high tail it over to the Junior High to pick up Lucy in the principal's office." Chris said as he bumped his way through the busy halls.
"She's in trouble again?" Gordie said restlessly. "Man, she's a sheer cut out of Eyeball."
"You can say that again. And wouldn't you guess who her favorite is?" Chris said with a smirk.
"Oh come on. You're there for her, she loves you Chris." Gordie said, placing a hand on Chris' back.
"What took you so long?" Teddy said. "Vern's dehydrating over here." His hair, slick with sweat, stuck to his forehead.
"I can't help it if I sweat so much, it's hot in here and none of these teachers leave the windows open! If I don't get into that lake soon, I'm going to dry up. Are we ready to go?" Vern whined. He seemed to be sweating every drop out of him.
"No, we have to go get Lucy." Gordie said as he and Chris led the way to the Junior High School, just six blocks down.
"Jesus, Chris, your sister sure is in a lot of trouble these days." Vern stated as Chris rolled his eyes.
"Tell me something I don't know." He replied.
The entered the main office of the Junior High, where Gordie, Teddy, and Vern had to wait while Chris attempted to talk his sister out of yet another suspension.
A minute passed. Then two, three, four... Before they knew it ten minutes had gone by. Finally, Chris and Lucy stepped out of the office. Lucy's wheat colored hair was tossed up into a short, messy ponytail. She had on a pair of Chris' blue jeans, and a red and blue stripped t-shirt.
As soon as Lucy and Chris had rejoined the group, Teddy let out a miserable sigh.
"That's okay Chambers, take your time, we're only melting to death." Teddy said quickly as the five of them fled the Junior High.
"You know, convincing the principal that this one here is an innocent student, isn't as easy as it sounds." Chris said as Gordie walked next to him. Teddy, Vern, and Lucy walked in a line behind them.
"What did you do this time Luc?" Vern asked.
"I didn't do anything as usual." Lucy said, her pale blue eyes shining with her smile.
"Oh right, they just suspend you for no reason these days." Chris said wearily.
"They do, I swear!" Lucy defended. "Come on Chris, you would know. Three days for nothing!" Lucy went on.
"That was years ago Luc, so drop it." Chris said. He didn't want to think about how unfair the punishment was.
"So really Lucy, what did you do?" Teddy urged.
"I told ya. Nothing. I didn't do a Goddamn thing and yet they hung another week of suspension over my head. Can you believe it?" Lucy replied. The guys had been babysitting Lucy since she was five. No one was buying her act of innocence.
"She just mouthed off to a teacher again Teddy, nothing major. A few remarks, some curse words. its pretty routine stuff." Chris explained.
"Aw, that's nothing." Teddy said.
"See? What did I tell you Chris, nothing!" Lucy said. "Besides, there was no way I was going to spend all day in that room with locked windows. She wouldn't even open them a crack. So I had an attitude and threw in a 'damn' or a 'crap' here and there, and got a free train ride to the principal's office. And we all know he always keeps all of the windows wide open." Lucy said triumphantly.
"That's why? That's why I had to drag my ass six blocks down there? Because you needed some fresh air?" Chris wailed.
"Yes dear brother, but you saved me yet again from suspension. I am forever in debt to you." Lucy said and hugged Chris from behind. He pulled her arms off his neck and kept walking.
"Yeah well, that's the last time I save your ass." Chris grumbled.
"Oh please." Gordie muttered. "Chris, you always say that, and you always come to her rescue."
"Oh yeah?" Chris replied.
"Yeah, ya do." Gordie said finally. "It's the way of the world. You'll always come to her rescue."
By the time the five of them had reached Caste Rock Lake, it was inhabited by just about every kid from 6th to 9th grade. Girls were screaming, boys were laughing, and just about everyone was drenched with the lake's cool water.
"Yes! Finally!" Vern exclaimed and ran straight into the water.
"Last one in is related to Vern!" Teddy called out as he and Lucy made a dash for the water. Teddy, of course, won.
"Is she wearing your clothes?" Gordie asked Chris with a raised brow.
"Yes, yes she is. Don't even think about asking me, I don't have a clue. Sisters are weird." Chris replied.
"Especially yours." Gordie said as he and Chris ran into the water.
It wasn't long before some kids from Lucy's class had come up to her in the water. Near by, Chris, Gordie, Teddy, and Vern were watching closely.
"Man Lucy, if you keep talking to Ms. Kendal like that, you're going to get expelled." A freckled girl stated.
"I haven't even gotten suspended yet." Lucy said, just before she dunked her head into the water.
"Well since you're not suspended yet," A boy with dark hair began. "Maybe we could do something tomorrow." The boy said strongly. He wasn't the least bit coy or shy, which didn't please Chris at all.
"Do something? Like what, a date?" Lucy said as clear droplets clung to her hair.
"Yeah, I guess so." The dark haired boy smiled.
"She can't." Chris said from behind Lucy. All eyes focused on Chris now. Gordie had a bad feeling about what was about to happen. When it came to Lucy, Chris was very protective. Which always ended a situation in disaster.
"I can't? Why not?" Lucy asked timidly.
"Because you can't date." Chris said finally, without any explanation.
"Says who?" Lucy asked meekly. She didn't usually fight with Chris, just questioned his actions.
"Says me. I don't want you dating this guy." Chris said simply.
"You don't even know him." Lucy's voice was high and coarse. This was nothing new; Chris would always try and live her life.
"Exactly. I don't want you around anyone I don't know." Chris demanded abruptly.
"So if I were to go on a date with Teddy, it'd be different?" Lucy's brow furrowed as she grew irritated.
"No. I don't want you dating Teddy either, so don't even think about it." Chris said to Lucy, then turned to face Teddy. "You touch my sister, and I'll have your beating heart in my hands before you can say 'two for flinching'." Chris threatened as Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Chris, I'm not going anywhere near your sister." Teddy said restlessly.
"But how come I wouldn't be allowed on a date with Teddy? You know him." Lucy stated. Chris turned back to face her.
"Because Teddy is retarded."
"True, but isn't that for me to decide?" Lucy replied sharply. Her undeniable wit fully intact.
"And Teddy's my friend. My friends, and my sister, don't mix. The point is, I don't want you dating anybody." Chris barked.
"Well I don't want to bleed once a month, but some things are unavoidable." Lucy said, getting heated. As great as Chris was, he wasn't perfect. He was a constant back seat driver in Lucy's life.
"Ah, I did not need to know that!"
"Yeah, that was an over share." Gordie said calmly.
"That's it Luc, we're leaving!" Chris grabbed Lucy by the arm and dragged her out of the lake. Few people noticed. No one but Chris' friends, and Lucy's friends really paid attention to their argument.
"Chris let go!" Lucy fought. Teddy, Gordie, and Vern ran after them.
"Chris, what the hell was that?" Teddy said, trying to keep up with his fast pace. Chris let go of his sister, as Lucy rubbed her aching arm. This wasn't the first time Chris was out of hand, and it wouldn't be the last.
