Heyy! I'm so sorry that I haven't update in ages, but I have just been so busy. This is such a crappy chapter but I felt that you guys need something to remind you that I still exist! This one is another chapter in the past, but then the chapter after this is going to be in the present. Please please please review and tell me if you want pairings to change or stay the same. I've also decided that there is going to be a HAPPY ending, and I've already drafted it.
Please review, I'll heart you if you do! (Even if you have constructive crit.!)
Lotsa love, Juicyxxx
BTW This chapter is for applejuicegirl, so this is for you Holly!
Hole in my Heart
I had always thought Olivia was an idiot. I mean, everyone did. After all, she did make the impression that she was a complete and total airhead. She never bothered to answer questions in class, never did any assignments that were given, and never got a score worth being commended for in an exam.
I was surprised Kristen made friends with her. After all, Kristen was the smartest person I knew and I'm not saying she shouldn't because she should look below the surface and all that shit, but Olivia was just plain dumb. I mean, she thought that Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of England. Come on.
The first time I saw them chatting together was at lunch. The cheerleaders sat at Table 3, which was where Kristen sat when she came in to the cafeteria. She and Olivia got talking and from then on they were basically inseparable. I never understood why Kristen was even friends with her but there you go. I guess opposites attract. Little did I know they weren't that different. Olivia was smart in her own way, and I was surprised Kristen could see that. After all, I had barely noticed and I've been in her classes from the start of High School.
The first few weeks I was on my own, I saw Olivia loads. In the Library, the Gym and the Cafeteria as well as most of my classes. I mean, it was as if she had been sent to me or something. But why her? That annoyingly nice blond who knew nothing about me. Why her?
--------------------
"Massie, Massie, here, catch the ball!" Olivia shrieked to me from the other side of the Gym. We were doing Hockey, one of the worst sports introduced to mankind. I half-heartedly push the ball over to her with my stick, watching the players on my team swarm over to the ball like moths to flames.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot...and...SCORE!" My team shout. They all cheer, jumping up and down as the opposing team shake their heads and grudgingly shake hands. I walk over to the side and pull of my borrowed shin-guards, tossing them on the side and grabbing my water bottle.
"Hey!" I take the bottle from my lips and lower it to the ground, looking up. Olivia Ryan stands there, pink-cheeked and with rumpled hair, she is still pretty.
"Hey" I reply, picking up my stuff and beginning to walk away. She grabs hold of my arm. "You played well today Massie. I thought you used to love Hockey though, now you just seem...well, not bothered."
"I don't really think that's any of your concern-"I'm cut off by none other than Kristen Gregory coming over to us, well to Olivia.
"Liv, we need to go get changed for Swim Squad. The Gala is coming up. Let's go." Kristen shakes her long, butterscotch coloured waves away from her face and smirks. "What are you talking to her for? I wouldn't think she's your friend type. I mean, if you like selfish, boyfriend-stealers then sure, go ahead and spend lunch with her."
"For God's sake Gregory just shut up! All that ever comes out of your mouth is just...crap! Just lies and crap!" That is probably the lamest insult but I walk away with my head held high anyway.
Screw her, screw Olivia, screw everyone.
I don't need them; I'm fine on my own.
They just cause trouble, they're just troublemakers.
I repeat these words over and over as I walk to the locker rooms, trying to ignore the feeling that there is a big hole in my heart.
I can't stop the hole, the feeling of love that is leaking from it.
I have to ignore it, because there is no going back.
