Hey guy's! thought i put you through enough suspence so here it is!

Chapter 7

I stepped into the hallways trying to see who was at the door over my extremely tall mother. Sometimes I wonder where I got the short gene from. The only thing that I could see was pale skin and jet black hair. Two people cam to mind, Kevin and Dan Wilbur from Science class. My mother stepped out of the way, revealing Kevin, as I had guessed. He stood with that stupid smirk on his face as he looked me up and down, chuckling to himself. My mother put her hand on my shoulder and whispered 'you know where it hurts' in my ear, which made me laugh. I stepped onto the front porch with Kevin, shutting the door behind me. In our family room window I could see Squid, Greg and ZigZag's face, stacked up resembling a totem pole.

"Well hey there beautiful." Kevin said, grinning ear to ear. I stared at him blankly.

"What do you want Kevin, haven't you caused enough trouble?" I asked, annoyed with him always showing up whenever I thought things were getting okay.

"Well I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd pay a visit to an old friend. We are friends, aren't we?" He asked, as if he had no recollection of our past.

"Friends? I'd sooner pry my eyeballs out with a screwdriver and enjoy them with spaghetti and marinara sauce than be friends with you again." I said, trying to use my best bitchy voice.

"Aw c'mon Kelly, why are you being like this?" He reached out and touched my face. I quickly swatted his hand away. He held up his hands.

"Alright, that's cool. All I wanted to do was come over and chat." He said, taking a seat in one of the folding chairs on out porch.

"Well you're chatting aren't you?" I asked still standing and watching him. He leaned back in his chair.

"Kelly, babe, what's wrong, before you left for that, wherever you went, you were much more relaxed and chill. Remember that one party…" I glared at him.

"I've changed Kevin. I'm not who I used to be anymore. All the parties and everything that came along with that are not what I do anymore." Kevin frowned.

"Please. Kelly you went to an all-boys camp. The whole school already thinks you're a slut. I mean, they knew you were already, but this just iced the cake." He eyed me up and down again.

"The only thing that happened at that camp was that I met some really great guys that could beat the crap out of you in two seconds." Kevin made a disbelieving sound. I shook my head.

"Kevin, some of those guys were in there for so much more than you will ever do. One guy was in my tent for murdering his ex-girlfriends boyfriend." Ok so I lied a little bit, but c'mon I think the worst someone did in my tent was steal a puppy.

"Oh and did I mention I have two of those guys inside." I motioned to the window and Kevin glanced over quickly.

"Once a slut, always a slut Kelly, you remember that. Once a bitch, always a bitch." He said, stepping off my porch and walking away. He turned around and stared at me. "Do you really want me gone Kelly. Seriously, because with one word I could be right back up there with you and we can be friends." He stared coming closer to the house. I lowered my eyes.

"Don't you even think about it." I said sternly.

"Once a bitch, always a bitch." He said again, making his way to the sidewalk.

"Yeah well once a…a…" I choked up and couldn't finish the sentence. I collapsed on the porch, crying. I quickly stood up and wiped my eyes. Why do I always cry when he's around? The door opened slightly, Squid peeking his head through the tiny space.

"Kelly, is that creep gone?" He asked, looking around.

"He's gone." I replied taking a seat in the chair Kevin had sat. Squid came out and closed the door behind him. He took a seat in one of the other chairs on the porch but jumped up as soon as he saw that I cried, even though I tried to let him not see.

"Where did the little fucker go? I swear he's going to die, die a slow painful death if I have anything to do with it. And I will." He started off the porch.

"Squid don't." I croaked, stopping him from leaving. He sighed and came back on the porch.

"Well at least tell me what he said to you." He said, taking his seat again.

"Everything he said was true." I cried burying my face in my hands.

"What are you talking about?" Squid asked.

"When I moved here, all I wanted to do was fit in, be apart of a crowd. That's when I met Kevin, at a party. I mean with his group of friends I had a lot of fun, well so I thought at the time. The parties, the drinks, the…" Squid stopped me.

"Don't tell me you're gonna say sex and drugs." He asked. I shook my head.

"Oh course not, I wasn't that stupid. But then I met Amber, who brought me into perspective of what I was doing. That's when I joined Kevin on his little prank. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't going to hang around with him anymore." I paused. "I couldn't take it anymore, what he was doing to me." I added softly.

Squid looked at me for a second. I looked away, remembering how I once told him that I was never like that, or so he assumed from what I had told him. While he thought about the information I had told him, I remembered the party that took place the night I met Kevin.

It took place only 2 weeks after I moved to my mom's house. I had met a girl, Suzie, in my math class who was throwing a party. She wasn't the type of person I would typically hang out with. She wore baggy clothes, hats and skateboarded after school everyday after school instead of doing her homework. One day in math, Suzie had passed me a note saying that there was a party at her house on Friday night. I agreed to be there, though I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

Friday night, I arrived at Suzie's house around 8. Once inside all I smelt was beer and smoke. I passed a couple who were dancing frantically. Another couple was in the corner making out. People were making beer can towers and smoking pot on the back porch and all sorts of other stuff I couldn't name. Suzie approached me with someone who I was later introduced to as Kevin. She shoved a beer in my hand, laughed and left me alone with Kevin. I looked at it hesitantly. Finally he spoke up.

"Are you going to drink that?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. I gazed at it.

"Yeah, I guess." I opened it and took a swig. It was different than anything I'd ever tasted. At first it tasted gross but by my fifth sip I was enjoying it. I had gotten to know Kevin a lot better too. We sat and drank, he went out for a smoke and I'd get another beer. He came back and we flirted, we might have kissed, I couldn't remember.

Squid's hand wove in front of my face snapping my out of my daydream.

"Oh sorry." I replied, blushing. He looked at me for a second.

"I guess you can't change the past." He replied, smiling. I smiled back. "We've all done stupid things." I nodded. "It's the stuff we learn from them that matters right?" I sighed.

"So you did the same kind of shit?" He looked around.

"A little." He said carefully, crossing his arms. I looked at him with a questioning eye.

"Hey guys!" He said, standing in front of us.

"I think it's time we get going." Squid said standing up, a little startled still about how much he just learned about my past. He and ZigZag left, Zig waving slightly, while whispering to Squid, probably asking him what happened. I walked inside slowly and walked to my room. My mother knocked on the already open door.

"I'm going to work. Are you okay?" She asked. I nodded and went to my computer to message all my D-tent friends about an up coming reunion party in the planning.

Oh snap! reviews are lovely!
