Chapter 4. In The Jungle
Lunchtime.
I walked into the mosh pit. Ok, so it was the lunchroom. Man, give me a break.
I saw the normal tables. And people. I spotted Miley and Nick sitting in the middle. Amber and Ashley were sitting there too. I didn't dare go near it. I chose a table where there was nobody sitting there.
Suddenly a girl came over to me. She sat down and started putting her food out. She had brown hair, with blue on the tips. She wore glasses that were bright red. And a Fall Out Boy T-shirt.
"Hi. You're the new girl, right? Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm Sarah. SO, where's you come from? I bet its somewhere cool like London or New York.. SO where?"
"Um…." I said scared. She stopped and looked at me
"I'm sorry. Don't worry. I only bite the preps." She smiled nicely.
"I'm from Spain. My name's Isabella, call me Izzy."
"Wow. Spain. That is really cool." She said. She looked around the lunchroom for someone. Her eyes lit up and I figured she found them. She ushered over a brunet guy who seemed really familiar, he was followed by a even more familiar one, and another even more familiar one.
"Guys!" She said. They all sat down. Oh, yes. It was Joe Jonas as very familiar no. 1. And Oliver as no. 2. The third guy just reminded me of someone. "This is Izzy."
"I know her. She's my neighbor. OH my god, Sar, you'll never guess--" I shot him a 'Don't you dare look.' ";--- How cool her dad is. He likes Fall Out Boy and punk music like that."
"Whoa. That's so cool." Sarah said. I looked at her. She seemed vaguely familiar.
"I know her too. She used to go here." Oliver said.
"You did? When?" the third boy asked.
"About three years ago." they all Looked at me.
"I don't recognize her." Joe said. Sarah slapped him in the back of the head.
"You all seem familiar. Course, I know Oliver is Oliver."
"Hmm…. Oliver's friends…" the third boy said.
"Becca?" Sarah asked. I gave her a annoyed look.
"Lilly." Oliver said under his breath.
"OH my god!" Sarah said.
Oh, boy.
Oh my god. It was Saint Sarah.
"Sarah Gosslemen. Right? Saved the world yet?" I said laughing.
"Changing subject!" Joe said.
"To what?" Oliver asked.
"How about ME!" Joe said. Sarah slapped him again. "Ouch! Man… I"ll just stop making you laugh. You be sorry!" He said.
At home. I walked into my house. Nick close behind. Then Joe and then Sarah and Oliver.
"Joe. I am NEVER letting you drive me anywhere." I said.
"It wasn't that bad… was it?"
"It was that bad, Joe." Sarah said.
"Dad? You here?" Nothing. I heard the faint sound of music coming from above. "You guys stay here. Nick and I'll be right back." Nick looked at me weird. "Yes. You." I grabbed his arm and pushed him up my stairs. We made our way to the dungeon where the music got even louder. I opened the door to see my dad and the guys practicing.
"Where
is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman. (he won't find
out)
Maybe he won't find out what I know: You were the last good
thing about this part of town…." Patrick sang, as the song ended.
My dad then looked to me. "What's up?"
"Can you possibly be a little quieter? I have friends over."
"Well… I'm so sorry. I'll try rocking out a little less." My dad said sarcastically.
"Look, your biggest fan is downstairs and if you don't want to be able to hear, I suggest that you continue."
"Why wouldn't we be able to hear?" Andy yelled. He had headphones on. Everyone ignored him.
"Fine. We'll do acoustic. Right guys?" Joe said. He was always the peace bringer. Everyone groaned as me and Nick walked out.
"So, where were you at lunch? I didn't see you at all."
"Maybe cause the pop star was sucking at you face." I said under my breath.
"I heard that."
"Well, if she wasn't you would have seen me. Besides, you guys sat with Amber and Ashley. I'm not going anywhere near them."
"How do you know them?"
"They used to Me and Miley's enemy."
"Oh." He thought for a second. "How has Oliver known you for so long?"
"He used to be my other best friend. Miley ,Oliver and I. He's my donut. Nothing to it."
"Donut?"
"You wouldn't get it. "
SO, it was a hour later.
We were playing twister. I was out cause I kept knocking everyone over. All of a sudden, everything got screwed up. A guy in a rainbow clown wig and sunglasses came down. I groaned.
"Dad. What are you doing?" I asked. Everyone was looking at him. I walked up to the kitchen.
"We're STARVING up there! And we can only play Grand Theft Autumn so many times before Patrick can't talk anymore, and its been an hour!" He complained.
"Oh, Your such a teenager. You could have called me."
"Hemingway ate my cell phone, remember?"
"OH. Well, there's the intercom."
"Broken. That one night with Travis and Andy with the skateboard, Remember?"
"Oh yeah…. Good times…. " I said. Then I hit him. "Well, still! Why are you wearing that?"
"I thought maybe you friend wouldn't recognise me like this. It works for your friend."
"Dad. You are such a DORK!" I said. "Get your food and GO!" I walked back to my friends.
"That's your dad?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah. That's Mr. P. Wentz. My daddy. A teenager inside."
"Wait… Wentz. Like Pete Wentz?" Sarah asked.
"Yup. Hold On, Let me close my ears." I said.
"No, No. That's really cool! Your dad is in Fall Out Boy!" She said. I was vaguely supprised she didn't scream.
"Yup…." I said.
"SO!. Are any of you guys going to Dex's 'Finally Winter Break' Party tonight?" Oliver asked.
"I am." Sarah said.
"I'm going. And Nicky Here." Joe said.
"I'm not. My dad's making me go to this thing… yeah."
