This was a request by RatherOddRanger. Ranger asked for Kola, and here it is! I actually like this pairing a lot. I wish it got more publicity XD
Told in Lola's POV
Pairing: Kola
Song: Avril Lavigne- Wish You Were Here
"Do you see that girl over there?"
"Yeah, isn't she supposed to be a cheerleader or something like that?"
"Yeah. What is she doing here?"
"I don't know but it's obvious she shouldn't. She doesn't belong here."
Ouch. That hurt.
I could tell they were talking about me because I was the only cheerleader here, and I could see them glancing at me with disapproving looks.
It sucks that people treat me differently because I'm a cheereleader, and they think they're all superficial skanks who don't give a shit about nerds. But I'm an in the closet nerd as you put it. And people here at space camp pick on me for it. It's not fair.
I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you
It's not like that at all
There was only on person who knew I was like this. His name is Kevin. He's a really close friend of mine. He's the only one who've seen the nerdy side of me. I'm really glad I told him too. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But what those kids said, it felt like a much larger one had been applied. It sucks being the only outsider in this camp.
I wish Kevin was here.
There's a girl
That gives a shit
Behind this wall
You just walked through it
SMACK! Something hit me square in the back of the head. I looked behind me and not only saw a few guys in Star Trek costumes glaring at me, but an empty milk carton laying on the ground which was most likely the item that was thrown at me.
It's ironic because the people I was friends with back in South Park would pick on the nerds, but here they bag on me for being popular.
Don't they see I'm just like them?
And I remember all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
This sucks. Lunch in this camp was probably the only time I get openly picked on by these guys, because the counselors are always off screwing someone or getting high. She no repercussions for them because the counselors don't give a shit.
Being an outcast is seriously the worst.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
Now I know how lots of unpopular kids feel. If you've ever heard anyone say, "Try living my life" then think of what I'm going through right now.
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here
The next thing I knew I was falling forward, my tray flying out of hands as I hit the ground- hard.
Dazed, I attempted to stand up, but fell over again. I could hear everyone laughing at me. I could feel their taunting and cold stares.
I love
The way you are
It's who I am
Don't have to try hard
We always say
Say it like it is
It's just too much.
I gotta get out of here.
And the truth
Is that I really mi-I-iss
All those crazy things you said (things you said)
You left them running through my head (through my head)
I managed to steady myself atop my shaking legs, and bolted out of there. I ran to the cliff just outside the camp, sitting on the edge, putting my chin in my hands.
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did (things we did)
Didn't think about it, just went with it (went with it)
I could feel tears squeeze out my eyes.
I didn't know these people could be so hostile and mean.
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
Kevin never treated me like this.
Kevin. I miss him.
I stood, preparing to go back to camp because the stoned and formerly sex-deprived counselors would be returning soon. I let out an elongated sigh. This is gonna suck.
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here
Then I heard something behind me.
"Lola?"
I froze and turned around.
"Kevin?" I said in surprise. I didn't even know he was here!
Kevin smiled at me. "Yeah it's me. I didn't know you'd be here."
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here
"Uh... I'm not Lola." I fibbed. God I'm a horrible liar. "I'm her identical cousin... Layla?"
Kevin laughed. "Lola I know it's you. I'm not gonna tweet that I saw you or anything."
I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go
"I'm sorry about what happened." Kevin told me. "They shouldn't treat you like that."
My face turned red. "You saw that?"
"Yeah I did."
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go
"Oh."
"Don't worry Lola, you can hang out with me and my friends. I'm sure they'll like you. That way you won't be lonely."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I hate seeing you upset."
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here (I wish you were here)
Kevin held out his hand. "Come on, let's go back to camp."
I took it and said, "Thanks Kevin."
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here
Kevin smiled bigger and led me back to camp.
Maybe this won't suck after all.
And there's Kola for RatherOddRanger. Special thanks to Ranger for giving me a plot bunny that really helped! This one would have been posted earlier, but I had to rewrite it cuz the laptop died on me when I was writing it. And thanks again for 50+ reviews! You're all too amazing. :)
Until next time!
