I just stood there as I watched Summer and Marissa run around picking out outfits, Seth drooling over Summer, and Ryan just stood there as if he was out of place, just like me. He walked over to me and looked ahead as if he was trying to sneak a conversation with me.

"Hey"

"What?"

"What's your problem?"

"What's my problem? You're my problem, Ryan…what's your last name?"

"Atwood."

"Atwood!"

The name sounded familiar but I shook it off. I looked around and everyone just stared at me as if I was crazy. Summer and Marissa both gave me dirty looks. I just smiled and waved at them as they turned around pretending not to know me.

"I'm sorry okay, I didn't mean for last night to happen."

"Yeah, I didn't either but it still happened."

"Yeah, I know."

"When were you going to tell me about Marissa?"

"It never crossed my mind."

"Oh, well don't worry; last night didn't mean anything to me anyway."

I turned, walked away from him and walked out of the store. I walked around the mall until I pasted a store called "Rusty Metal," I liked the way it looked so I walked in. The store was barely lit and they sold a lot of black clothing and band t-shirts. I decided if I was going to spend the money Mrs. Cohen has given me, it would be here.

I watched her walk away from me as I realized that it would be for the best. I just recently got back together with Marissa and I didn't want to ruin it. I walked back over to were I was before, when Marissa stopped me.

"Ryan, we need to talk."

"Ok"

"You have seemed distant lately. What's wrong? Is anything bothering you?"

"No, I really didn't notice. I'm sorry."

"Um, ok then."

"Anything else?"

"No, I love you Ryan."

"Love you Donna."

By the time I spent all the money Mrs. Cohen and Sandy have given me, I have bought enough material items for my whole life. I look around to see if anyone could help and see a guy standing by a rack of Slayer shirts, just staring at me.

"Hey, stop looking at me and give me a hand."

$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&

What did I just say? I just called Marissa, Donna. I just called my girlfriend by the name of a girl I met a day ago. I have no clue as of what to do. I look around and now see Seth and Summer staring at me in shock.

"Oh that bitch is gonna die!"

$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&$)(&$&())(&$#&())(&

This guy and I make it to the front of the store where Ryan, Seth, Summer and Marissa are in. There is a bench right in front of the store so I tell the guy he could put the bags there. I mumble thanks and give him a signal to leave. While he walks away mumbling some censored things, as I see Marissa walk out looking very angry as Ryan, Seth and Summer follow.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

Marissa runs up to me and pushes me into the bench, which causes me to scream in pain and all of my newly bought items to fall on the floor.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?"

I struggle to get up as I use the bench as support.

"Well, I think I am Donna, who do you think I am?"

I hear Seth stifle a laugh as Marissa steams at the ears. She swings at me with her tiny fists but I dodge them.

"Is she serious? Ryan you need to stop your women before I hurt her"

She swung again but she caught me right under the rib, which caused me to hunch over in pain.

"I warned you bitch, now your going to die."

I take my first swing at her and it catches her right square on the cheek, which knocks her out.

"Oh, I'm not done yet bitch!"

I run up to her and rev my leg up to kick her in the ribs when Ryan pulls me back.

"Let me go!"

The more I struggle the more tired and woozy I get, so I decided to stop.

"Ryan, call Sandy and tell him that I blame him"

And everything goes black.
