Well, looky-looky, I'm finally updating! What am I updating again/checks notes/ right Another Generation, right, sorry, I've lost track, anyways, lets get on with the chapter
Chapter 19- Confusion All Around
Kapree's POV
"Really?" Kapree asked, confused, "Are you sure about this Torie?"
"I didn't imagine it!" Torie said heatedly.
"Hey, I'm neutral!" Kapree said, throwing her hands up, "I'm just saying, this seems a bit weird, that's all"
"How than you thell the ditherence betheen norma and weird anymo?"
Or that's what it sounded like to Kapree anyway. Allie was munching on a pop-tart as the girls walked, and trying to talk as she ate. "Don't talk with your mouth full", Torie said boredly. Allie swallowed and glared at the blonde girl.
"What are you my mother?"
"Torie just finish the story", Haley said quickly.
"Oh right", Torie said distractedly, "So anyways, she calls me right after I slam the door and tries to play dumb! Like she didn't have a clue what I was talking about!"
"Weird", Allie said, "I'll give you that"
"It doesn't make any sense", Haley said, "Maybe we should forget about it for now though. Give us all some time off, that way we can get back on track later"
"Yea, good idea", Kapree said with a nod, "Do that. You heard her guys, lets drop it for now"
Torie nodded grudgingly, "So did you guys get the science homework?"
"No", Allie said shortly, "When, when, when are we going to use Chemistry in real life?.!"
"Never", Kapree said, "We do it in school just so the teachers can drive us nuts"
"Right", Allie said, "Sounds good to me"
"I did some of it", Torie said, "Chemistry isn't my thing though"
"Me neither", Haley said with a shrug, "I'm getting an A- in the class. Horrible…"
"A-?.!" Allie cried, "How horrible! How awful! A-! Break out the violin!"
"Okay, okay", Haley said, "Maybe A- isn't that bad…"
"Of course it's not!" Allie yelled, "I'm getting a D! A D! How am I going to explain that to my mom?.!"
"Like this: 'hey Mom, how was your day? Oh, and yea, I'm getting a D in Science'", Kapree recited with a laugh, "how bad will it be?"
Haley and Torie snickered while Allie sulked. Kapree gave her friend a reassuring smile and simply said, "Just tell her"
"Maybe tomorrow", Allie said with a shrug.
"I gotta go to my locker", Kapree said as they entered the Sheffield grounds, "See ya later!"
Her friends called goodbyes after her as she took off into the school. She made her way down the quiet hallway, thinking about what Torie had said. Okay, so maybe what was going on was a little weird, but like Allie said, there wasn't much of a difference between weird and normal anymore. She got to her locker and spun the combination lock, smiling as it clicked to indicate it had opened. She threw her jacket in and grabbed her math book.
"Torie telling you more lies?"
Kapree jumped a mile and shut her locker, revealing an angry looking Sam. "I don't know what you're-"
"Don't gimme that", Sam said crossly, "I heard Torie telling you about what happened last night, and for the last time, I never said any of those things to her! After we left the science room I went down to the band room to practice, even Ms. Liar will tell you that!"
"So we imagined it then?" Kapree said as patiently as she could.
"Maybe you did", Sam said furiously, "I'm telling you, until I went over to her house I hadn't seen her since we talked to Vandom! You gotta believe me Kapree!"
Kapree shifted from foot to foot, "I want to Sam, but I heard you say all that, how can I?"
"I never said it!"
RIIIING!
A bell sent them both flying. Sam cast Kapree a completely murderous glare before stalking off and falling in with the huge crowd of kids making their way to first period. How can I defend her, Kapree thought, When I heard everything she said?
Maybe they had just imagined it. Yea right, Kapree thought, And maybe I imagined the last 13 years with Justin to, get real Kapree
She pushed through the halls to her class, not a fan of being late.
"She pushed it pretty far", Kapree related in whisper during History, "I'm telling you, she was pretty insistent on it"
Allie shrugged and went back to her so-called notes, "Who knows, maybe she's lost it"
"I don't think so", Kapree said, "This is all just too weird…"
RIIIING!
Kapree sighed as she packed up her books. Talking to Allie had been less than a help, but then again, neither had Torie or Haley. Oh well, she had to try, this whole thing was just way too confusing. "So what do you want to do now?" Allie jerked her out of her thoughts as the two friends made their way to Allie's locker.
"We could go to the book store", Kapree said as innocently as she could, "I mean--"
"No!" Allie said at once, "I'm not setting one foot in that book store, forget it!"
"I had to try", Kapree shrugged. Allie gave the girl a sharp shove and opened locker. Kapree snickered as she stumbled backwards and quickly straightened up. She waited for Allie to pull her hand out of her locker and closed it with a snap.
"Hey!"
"You two are friends?" Torie asked from behind them, "You could have fooled me"
"Best friends forever", Allie said with a grin, "You can't feel the love?"
"It's there", Haley said, "I'm sure it's there"
"I'm glad one of us is", Kapree said jokingly. It was just like she remembered it. The four of them just hanging around, kidding with each other. Just like old times. "Lets get going", Kapree said, "We need something to do still"
"Wanna hang at my place?" Torie asked, " My sisters aren't going to be home and my mom is working, we'll have some quiet"
The girls exchanged looks and shrugged. They didn't have anything to do, and if it would be quiet, sure, why not?
"Lets go", Torie said. The group made their way out of school, jabbering pointlessly as they walked.
"Hey Torie", Torie cringed as Sarah and another boy popped up in front of them.
"Hi Sarah", Kapree said as pleasantly as she could, "Seen my brother? I'd like to roll it by him that he's still grounded"
"Nope, sorry", Sarah said.
"What do you want?" Torie said harshly. She had no patience for her sister, and with good reason, she was a big jokester who made a career of making her sister miserable.
"Just coming to see what you're up to", she said innocently, "Is there are problem with that?"
"Get going", Torie snapped.
"You're worse than my sister", the boy said, his brown eyes shining, "And Sam's pretty bad"
Torie shifted her glare to Jamie, "Don't go as far as that"
"Or what?"
"Fighting again Jamie?" piped up a voice from behind them, "That's why you nearly got expelled from JFK"
Jamie cringed, "Shut up Sam"
"Or what?", Sam said from behind them, "Don't you have detention anyway? I'd hate to see what the teacher is going to say about you trying to skip?"
Jamie glared at his sister for a second and whirled around, stalking by to the school. Kapree snickered and shook her head. It was pretty funny watching other siblings fight. She turned around and saw Sam walking away. She opened her mouth to say something, but pulled back at the last second. She wasn't sure what was keeping her from saying anything, except maybe the fact she got the feeling Sam wanted to be left alone.
"I'm getting some bad vibes off of her", the girls had ditched their plans to go to Torie's. Haley wanted to get home and study, and Torie wanted to work on her Chemistry. So Kapree and Allie and high geared and kicked it to Allie's, who's parents were working, and who's little brother had soccer practice.
"Whatta you mean?" Allie asked from behind her magazine, "And who do you mean?"
"Sam", Kapree confirmed, "There's just something about her that--"
"It's the fact that she'd like nothing more than to use the Heart of Candracar to blast us all to smithereens right now", Allie informed her friend, "Come on Kapree, you're over stressing, give the girl time to calm down, explain why she said what she said, and let us all get over it. Besides, didn't we agree to forget all this for now?"
"We did, you're right", Kapree nodded and stood up, "For once. Gotta book it, homework, talk to you later"
"Hey!" Allie cried, realizing what her friend had said, "Okay, bye"
Kapree stepped out into the crisp autumn day, laughing. Allie was her best friend, but she could be a little slow sometime. No time to look behind though. Kapree looked up at the sky, smiling. Whit fluffy clouds dotted the sky, which was a perfect blue. A wind blew through trees, ruffling Kapree's long brown hair. It was a picture perfect day, so completely peaceful. So then why did she still feel unsettled? Why was she getting the vibes that something was going to happen? She was supposed to be at peace. She was practically (and literally) in her element with the air blowing around her. So what had happened to her peace? Gone with the wind, from the look of it. She laughed at her joke and started down the street, her hands shoved in her pocket. I hate this feeling, she thought as she walked, I know something's wrong, but what? This is all just a tad too confusing for me, I hate this…
She looked at the sky, a little agitated, Someone just tell me what I'm missing!
Right, she told herself, Yell at yourself, yup, that'll definitely get me somewhere, okay, yup, sure
She giggled under her breath, glad that she was alone on the streets. She hated the feeling that there was something out there she just wasn't getting, but she would just have live with it. Play it along, she told herself, it'll work out.
Hmn, play it along. Right. How many people have done that? How many times has it actually worked? Okay, anyways, sorry for the long wait on the update, I'm mega busy. I'm going to try and get a few other fics updated today to, so I'm cutting off this story here for now. I know not much happened, but don't worry, it'll get better. Ok, review please!
