Chapter #4: Welcome To My Life

"Lisa, rise and shine," Mrs. Black stated as she walked into her room and threw open the jet black window shades.

"Mom, I have been up since 6:00 in the morning," Lisa sighed as she looked up at her mother from her bed, totally dressed.

"Honey, why do you wake up so early, you know that it's bad for you," Mrs. Black said with concern as she sat on Lisa's bed and patted her black hair.

"Mom, I'm not a baby anymore, okay. I know how to take care of myself now. . . . help Ahuva grow up," Lisa replied with annoyance as she pushed her mother's hand of her hair.

"You're always going to be my baby no matter what," Mrs. Black smiled with some tears s she kissed Lisa on the head and then got up.

"But Mom, I'm 17 years old," Lisa whined as she wiped her head.

Mrs. Black just smiled.

"Come down to breakfast soon, okay," Mrs. Black said sweetly as she opened up the door ad then closed it behind her.

"Okay, after I finish my work," Lisa whispered as she looked down at the many papers which were on her lap.

Most of the papers were surveys, essays, tests, and job information.

As Lisa was writing an essay for one of the colleges she would like to go to, Lisa looked all around her room as she thought of what she should write.

Her room was black and so was her bed, computer, window shades, shoes, backpack, etc. Mostly, everything in Lisa's room was black since she was a half-punk. Everything she wore, did, and sometimes everything she said was punky.

However, Lisa was once a pure-blood-punk, but then something happened which made her the half-punk that she is today . . . .

When Lisa was done most of her paperwork, she put it all away neatly (also big neat freak) and then headed downstairs to have some breakfast.

"Lisa, can you please pass the salt," Ahuva inquired with a girlish smile.

"Fine, just wipe that retarded smile off your face," Lisa replied with irritation as she picked up the salt and slammed it in front of Ahuva.

"Mom, Lisa is being mean to me for no reason," Ahuva whined as she turned around to look at her mother.

"Okay, you two just stop fighting right now before I grounded both of you for a year," Mrs. Black said with an anime annoyance mark as she started to wash the dishes.

"Okay, fine, we won't," both of the girls answered in unison. But then they both eyed each other with hatred before returning to their breakfast.

When they were both done with their breakfast, they gave their plates and utensils to their mother to wash and then left the kitchen.

"Stay out of my way, Ahuva. I have a lot of work to for the colleges I want to go too. So don't bother me, got it?" Lisa questioned as she glared at her younger sister before she turned around and headed up the stairs.

"Fine, but you so need a chill pill," Ahuva muttered as she walked into the living room to watch TV.

"I heard that," Lisa murmured as she opened the door to her room and then closed it behind her. "Okay, time to get to work," Lisa told herself as she sat down in front of her computer and turned it on.

Lisa had much work for the two colleges she had applied to which were D.I.T and B.C. T.C. Both of the schools wanted essays, projects, term papers, etc. to prove to them that they should accept you. So of course, Lisa was working her butt off.

Whenever she needed to think of an idea or what else to write for her essay, Lisa's eyes would always wander around her room.

However, most of the time her eyes fell upon a picture frame with a photo in it with a very handsome, hot, and sexy young man. He had blonde hair, light blue eyes, tan skin, and an awesome smile.

But when Lisa would look at that photo, she would shake her head really hard also sigh a very sad sigh and then continue doing her work.

Flashback:

9th grade:

"Hey, Lisa, can I talk to you for a sec?" Josh asked her while she was about to head down to the baseball field.

"Um . . . sure," Lisa answered with some blush appearing on her face.

Josh took Lisa's hand and led her behind one of the school walls.

"Okay . . . This is very hard for me but I will try my best . . . Well, um . . . you're really awesome at everything like sports, science, English, etc. You're also extremely beautiful, even more than Ashley. And . . .,"

"Josh . . . Sorry, but could you hurry up please or we will be late to our gym class," Lisa stated shyly while biting her lower lip.

"Okay, I'll just say it then . . . I really, really, really like you and I wanted to know if you would like to be my girlfriend?" Josh asked very bluntly as his face started to heat up.

Lisa was taken aback since she couldn't believe her ears. Josh, the hottest and most popular guy in school, just asked her to become his girlfriend when she was just known as a punky girl.

Even though Lisa was a punk, she did have feelings and now the one feeling which she was hoping one day to come true just did.

"A-Are you serious? I'm so ugly and I know for sure that I'm not your type," Lisa said with disbelief.

"That's where you're wrong, Lisa. You're very pretty, you are the girl for me and I like you for who you are," Josh smiled as he lifted up her chin and kissed her softly on the lips.

Lisa was too surprised to be able to return the kiss since this was her very first one.

After he broke the kiss, Lisa and Josh both smiled at each other, took hold of each other's hands and walked towards the baseball field together.

From then on, Josh and Lisa were known as boyfriend and girlfriend throughout their high school.

Lisa became a totally different person after she became Josh's boyfriend. She was no longer punky since Josh had changed her way of life. Lisa wore makeup, light colored clothing, high-heels, and she even made some friend, in the end making her popular too.

Until that very unfortunate day when all of that changed forever . . .

5 months later:

It was like an ordinary day, Lisa got up early, got dressed, ate breakfast, made sure she had everything for school and then left.

Lisa would always walk through the park and wait on one of the blue benches for Josh to come. This happened every single day of school and Josh was always on time.

Until today that is . . .

"It's 8:30 and school starts at 9:00. Where is he?" Lisa asked with a worried look from side to side.

She kept on turning around and around, trying to see is she could spot Josh.

But she saw no one . . .

Until Lisa's eyes fell upon a boy and girl, who were making out on one of the benches.

She was about to turn her gaze away when Lisa noticed that the boy had blonde spiked hair, tan skin, very tall . . . in short, thus boy looked EXACTLY like Josh.

"No way, it can't be him . . . ," Lisa told herself in quietly.

"J-Josh?" Lisa asked with fear in her voice.

To her horror, the boy looked up at her and no matter what Lisa told herself . . . . It really was Josh. The boy she had secretly loved for so long, the boy who loved her for who she was, and the boy who changed her from a punk to an ordinary girl . . .

But now . . . that was all just a dream . . . a lying dream to be more exact.

Lisa's heart stopped as if it was frozen. All her hopes and dreams were now completely gone because of what laid before her eyes, which was her boyfriend, Josh, was making out with a different girl on a bench in the park.

"N-No . . . This can't be true," Lisa stated as she walked backwards with tears forming in her eyes.

Josh looked at her with not one ounce of sadness in his eyes. Instead there was hatred in them and an evil smirk on his face.

"Stupid, Stupid, Lisa. You actually thought I really loved you, didn't you?" Josh laughed as he got up off the bench and buttoned up his shirt.

Lisa's eyes widened with fear and horror mixed together.

While Lisa was staring back at Josh with sadness, the girl on the bench hadn't moved at all.

When she did, she got up, pushed her blonde hair behind her shoulder, and swiftly turned around. This girl looked at Lisa with evil written all over her face.

Lisa recognized this girl from her high school. She was the most popular and beautiful girl in school . . . Ashley.

"Yeah, you probably did think Josh liked you, Lisa. Well, guess what? YOU'RE WRONG! He was actually using you to get back at me," Ashley smirked evilly as she put her arm around Josh's waist. In return, Josh put his hand around her shoulder.

Lisa stood still like a picture frame on the wall as she looked from Josh to Ashley.

"Yup, I was using you the whole time," Josh admitted. "But that was all thanks to Ashley since she was the one that told me you had a secret crush on me, when we were still boyfriend and girlfriend of course. So when Ashley broke up with me and starting going out with Frank, I decided I would use you to make her jealous and come back to me. Looks like it worked," Josh smiled triumphantly.

Lisa couldn't believe her ears. "I was being used . . . I thought that he loved me . . . All those kisses and making out with each other . . . Everything we did together . . . Everything he said . . . it was all a lie . . . . A down right lie," Lisa told herself sadly as tears rolled down her face.

As Lisa looked at Josh Ashley again, all her emotions were running wild until all o them turned to hatred.

"I hate you, Josh," Lisa yelled with fire burning in her usual brown eyes. "You're the biggest jerk I have ever met. I- I hope you burn in hell!"

Those were the very last words Josh and Ashley ever heard from Lisa since she never spoke to them again.

After Lisa finished yelling at Josh, she turned around and ran as fast as he feet would let her back to her house.

Se slammed the door to her house, ran up the stairs to her room and then slammed that door behind her.

Lisa threw all her things on the floor and then fell onto her bed, crying her eyes and heart out for the boy she had loved for so long but who didn't love her back.

"I hate you, Josh . . . I can't believe I fell in love with you," Lisa said as she cried into her pillow.

Lisa stayed in her room for a whole month. Her family tried to comfort her but nothing they said or did made Lisa feel any better.

However, after a month of crying, Lisa finally left her room and went back to school but as a totally changed woman.

Lisa was no longer wearing any light clothing, make-up, high heeled shoes, etc. She had turned back to her old punk self but now she was only half-punk, not pure-blood-punk anymore. Lisa just couldn't pull herself back all the way to become a pure-blood-punk again because of what happen.

So now Lisa is a half-punk and she swore to herself before she had finally left her room after a month of crying saying, "Never . . . Never will I ever love anyone again as long as I live," Lisa stated as she looked back at her serious face in the mirror.

"Never ever again."

"I have no idea why I still have that picture," Lisa told herself as she stared at the computer screen.

After looking dully at the screen for 2 minutes, Lisa got up and took the picture out of the frame.

She tore it into a million pieces, threw them all into the garbage, and then sat down by her computer.

"Much better," Lisa muttered while smiling as she continued to write her essay.

1 year later:

"Mom, I'm going to be leaving to work in a minute," Lisa called as she went over to her mirror to see how she looked.

"WHAT! Honey, its 12:00 in the morning and you're going to work!" Mrs. Black asked with disbelief.

"Yes mom, I have too. I have been sick for two days and Mr. Smith said I have to work early morning shifts since I was sick. Anyway, mom, I need the money for college so I'm going to work wither you like it or not. Remember mom, I'm 19," Lisa stated as she straightened out her uniform.

Her uniform was a white short sleeves shirt and short skirt (which was all the way to the knees) with purple and red strips going around it. Lisa wore white Chinese slippers to match it.

Lisa stared at herself for a while as she looked at the mirror. Her hair was in a ponytail but in the front, she had a side bang. Lisa's skin was as tan as ever and her brown eyes when perfectly well with it.

If anyone would have seen Lisa walking down the street, they would have thought she was very beautiful. However, Lisa wasn't the type of person to care about her looks. She was just a half-punk, trying to get money to go to college.

"Let's get ready to rumble," Lisa muttered as she looked at herself for the last time and then left her room.

"Lisa, please don't do this. I know it has been hard for us to get a lot of money ever since your father changed job and we had to move to Japan. But honey, we will try with all our might to get money for you to be bale to go to D.I.T.," Mrs. Black said with a weak smile as she looked up at Lisa from the bottom of the stairs.

"No, mom. I'm in 12th grade now. I'm not a baby. Also, I'm the one that's going to college, not you, so I'm the one that should be getting the money for it. I don't want you to interfere, got it?" Lisa replied angrily as she swept past her mother and picked up the car keys.

"Please, Lisa, I beg of you," Mrs. Black whined as she put her hand on Lisa's shoulder.

"No. I can take care of myself; I don't need you to do that anymore. Sorry mom. See you later," Lisa said with a smile as she kissed her mother on the cheek, opened the front door, and walked outside.

"Be careful, Lisa," Mrs. Black called as she waved goodbye.

"Thanks," Lisa murmured as she opened the door to their Toyota Camery and turned it on.

Lisa turned on her favorite radio station and then drove off to her job, which was a grocery store worker at the All You Can Eat Grocery Store.

"Man, this is going to be such a boring morning," Lisa told herself with a sigh as she drove closer and closer to her job.

However, little did Lisa know that she would meet a man that would change her life forever.
