No one's P.O.V.


"Raina Krueger!" The teacher called, making the seventeen year old jump slightly and focus on the teacher. This caused a few of the students to snicker quietly at her, and in turn made the teacher give them disapproving looks. "I know it's the last day of school for the week, and the last class, but please pay attention."

Raina gave a small sheepish grin. "Sorry Mr. Banner," She apologized. She was just glad that the teacher didn't give her a detention.

"Alright, seeing as you were the one spacing out, will you tell us the answer to the question on the board?" Mr. Banner asked.

Raina read over the question quickly as the others around her began to whisper about some lake party going on over the weekend. The teacher gave the class a glare as she opened her mouth to answer. "That would be nitroglycerin a very powerful and dangerous explosive compound."

"Very good," Mr. Banner praised before he looked at the clock. "Remeber everyone, study for your exams on Monday. It will be a major point holder for you to pass this class. Fail it, and you'll most likely have to repeat the class."

Everyone began to pack up their papers and bags, leaving as soon as the bell rang. Mr. Banner called Raina to the front and waited until the class was empty.

"You said that you needed your last exam copy after it was graded correct?" He asked as he pulled a few papers out.

"Yes sir," She replied nervously. Unlike Sam she was mostly an A student. B in P.E. seeing as it was hard for her to run with severe asthma and random paralyzed arms and legs from after she got recovered from being sick.

"Well, you got that A plus kiddo. I don't know how you do it when you don't pay attention in class, in any of them really. But I would like more effort for you to pay attention," He said as he handed her the paper, receiving a bright smile in return.

"I'll try harder Mr. Banner, but no grantees," She said with a laugh. Mr. Banner grinned at that and shooed her off.

"Go have fun," He said with a small laugh. He watched as Raina left before doing paperwork.


Raina's P.O.V.


I had just left Mr. Banner's class, a grin still glued to my face as I clutched the last paper that I had needed an A on. Yes, I was one of those that got A's and B's, but this year I had gotten C's because I had been absent a lot from sickness. No one knew what it was, or why I was getting sick. When I was little the doctors had thought that it was some form of cancer. Only thing was, none of the tests came back positive for it. Or for any sickness really. So, finally at the age of twelve I told Ron and Judy no more. I didn't want to go back to those doctors that wanted to use me as a science experiment. I just wanted to live my life, no matter how long or short it was going to be.

I exited the building and spotted Ron in his green convertible. "Hey Ron, where's Sam?" I asked as I got in the backseat of the car.

"Hey Raina. Don't know, he hasn't come outside yet. So did you get your last A?" He asked as he turned in his seat to face me. I nodded and handed him the paper. "Good girl, I knew you could do it," He said as he handed me the papers back to put away.

"Hey Ron, seeing as Sam's later than usual, may we play a prank on him?" I questioned hopefully. Yes, I was someone who liked to play pranks every now and again on their siblings/ best friends. Then again, Sam was really the only person that I could prank that was my best friend.

Ron gave a mischievous look as he looked at me. "Alright I have the perfect one, but I'm not telling you, you might ruin it," He said with a small laugh at the frown I gave him.

"No fair," I whined with a pout.

He only laughed before we both heard Sam shouting something about an A. He hopped into the front seat after nearly hitting me with his backpack as he tossed it in the back.

"Watch it!" I exclaimed, making Sam turn in his seat with a sheepish grin. He turned back to his dad as I looked on with amusement.

"I got an A minus, it's still an A though!" He exclaimed, bouncing in his seat slightly.

"Let me see," Ron said as he looked at the paper. "It's an A alright. Seeing as you both got everything that you required, let's go get you your car," He said cheerily.

I became curious, wanting to know what the prank would be on Sam as we pulled away from the school and on to the highway in to town. I looked at Sam as he turned slightly so that we could talk.

"Thanks Raina for helping me with that project. I wouldn't have gotten such a good grade if it wasn't for you and your book smarts."

I laughed and gave him a grin. "I was nothing Sam, it was my pleasure. Plus, I got something out of helping you as well. I got to learn about someone interesting."

Sam laughed as well. "You're a nerd sis," He said before both of us focused on his dad.

"I've got a surprise for the two of you," He said with a grin as we pulled into a Porsche dealership.

"No, no, no way! Dad! You've got to be kidding us!" Sam exclaimed as he looked around in awe at all the fancy cars.

Me? Well, I sat back with wide eyes. That was a good prank, no way would Ron get us this kind of car. Not only were they expensive cars, but the insurance on these would be horrendously expensive as well.

"I am," Ron said with a laugh, making Sam gape at his father. "Did you really think that I'd get you guys a Porsche for your first car?"

"I'm not talking to you, that was mean," Sam said to his father. This in turn only made his father laugh harder, and me to crack a grin.

"Sam, be nice now" I chided gently.

Sam turned to me and stuck his tongue out, making me laugh again. "Fine, but I'm not talking to him," He said with a serious face. I only nodded.

Ron exited the dealership and entered another one. This one was a used lot, full of cars that looked like they had been driven through hell and back. I frowned, something seemed...odd. I pushed the thought away as Ron parked and we all got out. I began to wonder around as Sam started to complain along the lines of being a virgin forever. What was so bad about being a virgin for a while? Yes, I didn't follow in the concept of losing your virginity in high school. In fact, I didn't understand the point of having multiple partners either. See, unlike Sam and his family, I went to church. Ron and Judy were both very supportive of it, and even listened when I asked them to. And I never pushed it on anyone.

I sighed as I rubbed my ears. A ringing had started up and it was giving me a small headache...then again it was probably the dealer and that laugh of his I was hearing. I stopped once I caught sight of an old car that didn't look like hell on wheels. I walked over to it, running my hand up the side of the hood. I paused when I felt a shiver from the car. I tilted my head then shrugged it off before opening the driver's door and getting in.

"Huh," I mumbled as it seemed the car adjusted to me so that I would be comfortable. I jumped though, having been in my own world when I heard Sam. "W-hat?" I asked dazed as I looked up at him.

"You found a good-looking car," He repeated. "Now scoot over so I can have a look," He said as him made a scoot over motion with his hands.

I nodded as I scooted over into the passenger seat. I watched Sam closely, awaiting his reaction. "Feels good," I heard. I hissed lightly and glared at the dealer, seeing as I wasn't there when he gave his name, when he leaned over to inspect the car.

"How much?" Ron asked.

"Seeing as it's a custom car with the slick wheels and the paint job," He started as he ran his hand over the hood, above the door where I was sitting. Before he could go on, Sam cut in.

"Yeah, but the paint's faded!"

"So? It's custom," The dealer said snootily.

"It's custom faded?" Sam questioned incredulously.

"It's your first car, I wouldn't expect you to understand," He said with a nasty grin.

I glared at the man, he was starting to get on my nerves. My heart sank though as I heard the price.

"Five grand."

"Nope, sorry, not going over four," Ron said shaking his head.

"Alright kiddies, out of the car," The dealer said as he hammered the roof with his hand.

"W-what? But you said the car picks the driver!" Sam exclaimed.

"Yeah, well it obviously picked one with a cheap-ass father," Was the reply. "Now this car here came all the way from Alabamy," He said as he turned to the Volkswagen Beetle that sat next to the Camaro.

"Come on Raina, we obviously can't get this one," Sam said as he sullenly got out of the car.

I shifted over to the driver's side, holding the wheel, noticing on it a very familiar symbol. My brows scrunched up as I stared at it. I'm surprised Sam didn't say a word about it seeing as he had dusted it off. That or Sam completely forgot about my birthmark. Then again, he only saw it when we were little and it's become more defined since then.

I sighed as I finally got out of the car as Ron said something about another car with racing stripes. I moved to the side as Sam slammed the driver door shut, making the passenger door pop open and hit the beetle that the man was in. I covered my mouth as a laugh began to bubble up. 'No, don't laugh,' I thought.

Sam looked at me as Ron asked if the man was okay. I raised my hands up at Sam. "Hey, don't look at me. I'm innocent." Sam only rolled his eyes as he followed his dad and the sales rep. "I wish that we could have gotten you," I said as I placed my hand on the roof. I turned to leave when there was a sudden high pitched screech. I instinctively ducked down and covered my head as the glass shattered from every car except for the Camaro I was taking shelter by.

"Raina!" Ron and Sam called as they ran over. Well, Sam ran, Ron just power walked over.

"Are you okay?" Ron asked as Sam crouched next to me.

"Y-yeah. I'm okay," I said as I slowly stood up and looked at the damage.

"F-four grand," I heard from that despicable man.

A few minutes later, all the papers were signed and Sam and I were driving our new car home.
