A/n: Thanks for reviewing guys. Sorry all the chapters have been so short so far but I'm gonna start making them longer.
We started walking to wherever we were going, they wouldn't tell me. We walked for about 10 minutes. Vern and Teddy were asking non-stop questions the whole time.
"So, where'd you move from?" Vern asked.
"New Jersey." I replied.
"What was it like there?" Teddy asked.
"I love Jersey. There was always something to do. The last week I was there, I was at my friend's older brother's beach house. It was great. Non-stop partying." I said.
"It must have been awesome to go to the beach whenever you wanted." Teddy said.
"Yeah it was, it was like a half hour away, and I always stayed there for like weeks at a time." I replied.
"Wow." Vern said.
The rest of the walk there was spent talking about my friends, and my old school. And about school here. Teddy was so hot, and really crazy. He kept trying to dodge trucks. And Vern was such a sweetie. I really did like these guys. I was definitely getting over leaving my old friends. The more I thought about it, I realized it was kind of there fault all this shit happened. I mean obviously they had nothing to do with my dad dying, but they had a lot to do with how I handled everything. My friend Jay was the one who got me into drugs, and everyone else sort of encouraged it. If they hadn't, I probably never would have become addicted and wouldn't have gotten arrested and never would have had to move here.
After what seemed like forever, we finally stopped in front of a tree house. Teddy did some complicated knock and the door swung open. Teddy went up first, the Vern, and then me.
"Hey guys." Teddy and Vern said.
"Hey." The other two guys said, talking to them but staring at me.
"Guys this is Evee, she just moved in next to me." Teddy said. "Evee, this is Chris and Gordie."
"Hey, nice to meet you." Chris said, putting his hand out for me to shake. Gordie smiled and said "hey", he seemed pretty quiet.
They started asking me a ton of questions, just like Vern and Teddy did. Then came the question I had been dreading since I got here:
"So why'd you leave Jersey." Gordie asked. I didn't want to lie. Back in Jersey I was pretty much known for my compulsive lying, and I didn't want that here. It was a new start and I didn't want that old reputation back. Its not like the truth would never come out. I knew it would. And lying about it would just make things worse.
"Um… well something happened that I really don't want to talk about, and my mom decided it was probably better to get away from it and start over." I said. I might have told them a little too much but o well, the main point is, I didn't lie. I really didn't want them knowing that I was 13 going on 14 and already arrested for drug possession. And I know if I told them they'd ask questions and I'd have to relive that horrible day. I was in school and got called down to the nurse's office. When I got there, there were two police officers. Apparently, my dealer got caught and had to give a list of everyone he sold to. They searched me and found some weed that I had been keeping in my purse, not smart I know. And then I was arrested and forced into therapy. Once I started therapy everything seemed more real, and I couldn't take it, so I started cutting my wrists. My therapist was the first one to find out, pretty soon everyone knew. I got a really bad reputation, being a compulsive liar, a junkie, and a cutter. My mom and my therapist talked and they both decided it was better if we moved and started over, but I'd have to continue therapy here, which I start tomorrow.
"Oh." He replied, noticing that my expression changed and I was starting to look depressed.
"Are you ok?" Chris asked. I guess he noticed too.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said trying to cheer myself up.
"Hey you guys its late, I gotta go." Vern said suddenly. We all agreed and left.
Me and Teddy walked home together.
"So what was that about, up in the tree house? You looked kind of depressed all of a sudden." He said, as we were walking.
"Oh…it was nothing. I was just thinking about my friends." I said. It wasn't a complete lie, I had been thinking about how it was their fault that I was here.
"Oh." He said. We stopped right in front of my house. "So, you wanna hang out again tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure." I said, a little too excitedly.
"Ok, um ill come get you at like one then, and we can walk down to the tree house." He said.
"Ok, bye." I said.
"Bye." He replied. I walked inside and went straight to bed.
