"Wake up!" Elizabeth yelled angrily as I yawned. I'm still half asleep! "I said get up!" Xavier groaned. Elizabeth kicked him, "Get up! You have to go hunting!" I sat up in my bed as I stretched my arms out to my side. As I did so, my chest rose up. "Xavier! I said get up! Skylar please wake up Russell and Ansell." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxqxbVMNRU
I nodded my head. I poked my head out to the side of my bed. I looked down to see Russell sleeping soundly. My hair spilled out from behind me to tickle his face, "Wake up." I whispered in a sweet voice. He groaned lightly. I took my hands to grab a pillow and dropped it lightly at his face. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FQfcu5d3
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSQNVelK7I
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkjQvhDFgI
Elizabeth didn't hear me as she yelled bitterly at Xavier, "Xavier wake the fuck up!" She snatched the pillow out under his heads and threw it harshly at his face. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuPkS8Rua2
He threw it to the side as he snapped back, "Yeah! I'm up! Shut up!" Ansell woke up with just a poke in his belly. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKoP2Cfrkh
"I'm up!" Ansell shouted as Russell was helping Elizabeth. I jumped up and down as I remembered what a beautiful day it was. The sun was hugging the other villagers outside, and I can tell because they were sweating. I don’t blame them either. Some stay out at the market place until supper, just to get a single buy. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QUaeJr7jO
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ya9eJuib
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKrb0jj4vM
I sighed, "Alright.” I looked for Lola, but couldn’t seem to spot her. I turned back to face Lizzy. “Hey, where is Lola and Haylee?" I asked her. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF72EFCTrb0
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MDH3r3HH
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgwBLY6PyZ
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUzsv2BR2D
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3HbButPhN
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbNGCaZ1OJ
I tilted my head and groaned in annoyance, "Again?" He nodded his head and spoke again as he placed the red and blue, wool blankets, down on the bed Lizzy just finished folding, "Yeah." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAAsQ4mIkh
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSjj78Gqr6
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGoIX20UD
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyYI9FcoGD
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmhq28WCs7
"What's up?" I asked. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcckblut4I
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQy0s3Iwef
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdNKpvbeQE
"Hehehe!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzNmA1vT74
"Nevermind. I got to go fetch them." I walked away from Haylee as she went back too. Gosh Lola and Nathan again?! For the fifth time this week! I finally reached the baby blue lake. I saw Nathan laying down with both hands behind his head. Lola, of course, was laying her head on his stomach. She was in the middle of making a flower bracelet out of yellow daisies. I cleared my throat loudly. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgfYjOqme
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnPc69Ol3
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYWN2hP5WM
I shook my head and spoke like a naggy mother, "No! Come on, you have to help Lizzy and I clean! Nathan you have to help Russell, Xavier, Ansell, and Thomas!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf6Z8vOlM6
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5xrrTNB8
On my way back Lola just gave me that you-ruined-everything look. As we got in the house again, the boys were already on their way to the forest. "You were going to forget me?" Nathan asked as he watched them pass him. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oGKSebf2a
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OijPyNaBC
As soon as everyone heard the door close Lola turned to me, "I hate you! Nate and I were just about to kiss!" I shook my head with the annoyance clearly spoken onto my face. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4WRm6kaq5
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9k3SbiHi
She had hot, bright red fire lit in her blue eyes, "He could've!" I just looked to Lizzy for help. Lizzy looked at Lola with her arms crossed. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVcg8klx3j
"Just like Xavier practically said, friends before dudes. Well not exactly like that, but you get the point." Lizzy said with the same tone I had.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPpT3Fa1xz
"Whatever!" She put her hands in the sink and began to start washing the dishes. I began to fold the bed as Lizzy straightened the clothes. The house was clean before dawn. "Shopping?!" I yelled with excitement. Lizzy nodded her head, "Yes. Only for food!" I sighed, "It was worth a try." Lola laughed at my failure. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ016YZyN2VV
I don’t get it. We used to be best friends! I guess I’m just playing in the past. However, I do continue to wonder what happened to us. I bet you anything it was Nathan’s fault. I also always hate how Lola assumes that I’m just jealous of her "love life". Pfft. Bitch. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7UYu87Nb2
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7kjPQCFjz
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBMmA5xPG7
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hhWSUv6wH
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DYQx5k2JR
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYTOrxe9Ow
"I can too! I just choose not to! He only thinks of me as a friend. I wouldn’t want to lose our friendship." I replied losing my red color in my pale cheeks.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM6xfdoGNb
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4ufhA3o4
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uoJCIs5Kd
"No. I’m just fooling myself. Lizzy the fruit stand." She turned her head to the right, "Oh!" Lola and I followed. Karolyne smiled at Lizzy, "Hey Lizzy! You want some fruit?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SHSbKMvNn
"Yeah, I’d like some mangos please. Oh and some..." Russell. Hm. Just thinking about him can calm any of my worries. No! Stop it! Um, changing thought! Ansell! Lizzy has liked him for even longer than I liked Russell. Just by a little. I always thought they were so cute together. How about Lola and Nathan? Again, Lola liked him longer than I liked Russell. She met him when she was like seven. Aw, how cute. The only thing that bothers me is that she spends more time with him than she spends more time with me and Lizzy, combined! 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCfeE4Xo8h
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82VQoFr9cX
Trust me, I’m not a lap dog. I’m just following her to help her carry things. "Skylar! Stop thinking about him!" Lizzy smiled jokingly again. I felt my face burn with embarrassment, again! 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oeAsJtANX
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lTdKmMehc
"Uh-huh. Sure." Lola and Lizzy began to laugh. Lola picked on me more, "Skylar and Russell sitting on a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpQ3ZGH5y
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoYU8SycRN
"I guess they’re back early." Lizzy predicted. We turned back and went for home. Home. Wow, I never thought I’d call a place home again. I lost so many. First in Tustin. Then Garden Grove. Tustin again. Lakeview. Now I’m back at Tustin, but it’s changed. The economic system is all wrong. There’s a forest right near us now. It started when I was seven. Though we never knew it. Then tragic struck. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GcRZ4ZZz7
"Whoa! That’s a lot of meat!" Lizzy exclaimed. Xavier nodded his head proudly. I saw Nathan talking to Lola. Haylee walked in and ran up to me. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2bszdQI3
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxGJ9V3rPf
I tilted my head, "What?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7VLZtYTg5
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDUsGWajI
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFlTwXlFM1
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yMqfYQfMl
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zmL2A0g9P
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr6dy9zY6W
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1WUNaqF9
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiQQQZAjtV
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyFW7chq0
I nodded my head. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRwD0MFEre
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz91hh3CNf
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXAaP4BYjX
"If he’s possible of being the father then he should man up and take responsibility!" Lizzy argued. That’s what I admire about Lizzy. She’s not afraid to throw her opinion out there. She’s so confident in what she believes in. I however, just agree with everyone else. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMmSYAXhZS
"Yeah! She did a mistake! She should have someone there for her!" Lola agreed. I also love that in Lola. She doesn’t care what anybody thinks about her. If someone calls her a bitch, she’ll either own it or shake it off like it was nothing! 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkcxNKLh8a
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHD2O8Z0wT
Haylee just laughed, "Laugh it off guys! It’s funny!" I like that about Haylee. She’ll try her best to lighten the mood. She’d make anybody’s day with just one of her jokes.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iT27Mxmgr
"Guys!" I finally spoke up, "Stop it! It’s none of our concern! He made his decision. It’s his and he choose it! There’s nothing we can do about it!” 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnD46ESHm
Silence surrounded the room. Everything was dead quiet. This all was happening too fast. Marley pregnant? Gosh, I know she does those things, but who ever thought she’d pay like this?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfow6YXwGkZ
Ansell decided this moment to change the subject as he admired the meat, "Look at all this meat we got!" Everyone nodded at examined the meat making comments and remarks about the meat. I looked at Russell. He was doing the same- looking at the meat. I just stood outside the circle. Just stared and stared and waited for someone to notice me. Just like everyday.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD98164vs7M
