Thank you for all the reviews! I just want to point out that I, obviously, don't own life unexpected. Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 4:

Lux POV

School was a blur and boring, as usual. The only interesting part was the new girl, foster freak, Natasha, she got suspended for vandalism. Brynn said it serves her right. Jones didn't really talk about the subject. Whatever, like I said, school was boring except for that part.

During study hall they gave out permission slips for us to stay after school when K100 comes. I can just pretend that it's for something else, I don't know. Dad is easily fooled, but also gets extremely angry when I get caught. Which is all the time. Once, I threw a party with Brynn, Jones, and the rest of my grade at the bar. Booze was involved and someone may or may not have thrown the Yoda cookie jar out the window. Let's just say he was pissed and I was never allowed more than 4 people at the bar.

After study hall I went straight to basketball practice, they were doing tryouts again. Everyone from the team last year stayed, but we had to replace the seniors. Natasha walked into the gym, weird, and grabs a ball. She starts shooting and makes every basket, she's better than me, which is a huge deal. I walk over to Brynn, who looks as shocked as I do.

"What is Foster Freak doing here?" Brynn says, louder than she should.

"I don't know, didn't she get suspended?" I say, also louder than I should have.

"Obviously! I have an idea, want to teach Foster Freak a lesson?" Brynn's smile grew wide and mischievous. She has a plan. Her plans are neither good nor bad, but they're always entertaining.

"No, my dad will kill me if I get in trouble again. Remember last time we taught her a 'lesson'? He almost sent me to one of those schools with the nuns. The NUNS, Brynn! I would have died."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be apart of it. Just give me your advice on what to do."

"I want nothing to do with it. How about, we leave Natasha alone for one day?" I hate to say it, but Brynn and I aren't the nicest people to Natasha. I guess you could call Brynn the bully and me the bystander. I'm not intentionally mean to her, it's just I start to say something and it hurts her. Being popular isn't easy, and I'm not popular because I'm nice. Well... I am, Brynn's not. I guess by association I'm a bitch too.

"Come on, Lux! Where's my partner-in-crime? This school would be boring without you and me, we put this pile of crap on the map!"

"No one cares about this school."

"True, but everyone who goes here, knows us, even the seniors! Sure, we can be a little harsh to some people like Foster freak-"

"Natasha."

"That's her name? Okay... Natasha, but you have to admit, it's all worth it." I guess, I mean I could be like Natasha, sad, lonely, probably getting abused. I have friends, awesome friends who think I'm a badass, which I am. But that doesn't mean I don't feel bad. I have empathy for her, I was in the system, granted I don't remember anything, but still. I look over at her, crimson, curly hair bouncing as she throws a ball. If she weren't weird or in the system, she'd be popular and really pretty. She is really pretty, but people don't notice that because she's so weird.

"You're right. Wanna get some smoothies?" Brynn nodded and we left. To the mall!

The Mall

"So, are you excited about K-100 coming to our school?" Brynn asked as we were eating French fries and strawberry smoothies.

"Hell yeah! I just hope dad doesn't find out, he hates K-100... for some reason. I don't know he doesn't tell me why."

"Well, why do you like them?"

"I guess it's because if I had a mom like Cate, my life would be set, perfect. She's the closest thing I have to a mother."

"And the chemistry with Ryan and Cate is unbelievable, they're definitely bang buddies." Brynn snickered

"BRYNN! Okay, they probably are... but we don't know for certain. Shit, I have to be home soon, later!" I wave Brynn goodbye and head home.

The Bar

"I'm home." I shout as soon as I walk through the door. Jamie is behind the bar making some drinks for girls who look like they came from a bacheloret party. Math was no where is sight and Dad was probably playing video games upstairs.

"Hey, Lux. Baze is upstairs," Jamie said as he continued to flirt with the women... at 4:00 pm.

"Thanks."

Lux walked up the stairs to find Baze and Math playing video games.

"Hey, Lux. So is anything happening on Friday?"

Lux found it strange on how he asked about Friday. Aka the day that K-100 comes. She worried he pull her out of school that day for some random reason.

"Um... nothing. Just another boring day."

"Good, because how would you like to go to a music festival?"

"Is that legal?" Math chimed in.

"Probably not. So what do you say, kid?"

"Um," all she thought of was to try to think of an excuse. "Well, I promised Brynn to help her hang up posters."

"She can get someone else."

"Is this about K-100 coming?" Lux blurted out. "Why do you hate it so much? It's a radio show, my favorite radio show. All I want is to meet, no SEE Cate and Ryan. Please? Dad, before you say anything, it's not a big deal, and we only have to stay for six minutes to see them. You can even come, I don't care as long as I'm at school on Friday. Please?"

Baze tried so hard to say 'no.' Lux couldn't meet Cate, whether she knew the truth or not. It was the law. Cate didn't want anything to do with her, Lux didn't even know who Cate was, she never asks about her, and yet (without knowing it) she's obsessed with her Mother. Finally after the silence of what seemed like an hour but was actually 30 seconds, Baze gave in.

"Fine, but do me a favor, don't talk to them. They may not be who they appear to be."

"GREAT! Thanks, I'll go tell Brynn. Love you!" And Lux ran to her room to talk to her best friend.

"Hey, Baze, you're not actually going to go to the school?" Math asked.

"If it means Lux won't talk to that bitch, yeah."
