"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." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ItmpathH
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz5xDwdRZD
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DIFpoMXww
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2mHDwbxI9
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXtp4A51Lk
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWXnDH9UPW
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt2N8KwnRd
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz4Wbaa7oi
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcAX079exQ
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdYK6HT1yu
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxSXZP2UcI
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr9qTDaUqQ
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErUpWdB8pl
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVfP9R7VTW
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHlxYPPAD6
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." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4dpyold5B
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ9Ls64WRt
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xy92Mdm0c
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRpJE4RIzK
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHAngEZjxZ
"What's up?" I asked. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4XuUPL69
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3TqVV1gBE
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbLG13dEsk
"Hehehe!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0nOY5K5hp
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx42guaXFC0
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhdkFV29m3
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwHXGHQ6jZ
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!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTcGNa355m
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjawKqIXj
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fTth8aWku
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfTCDhKYcd
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeEFbBJd2e
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAnEz0IA7N
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotes4RCi6s
"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.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus6nbFSQtJ
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YiZqiuc1R
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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDhzaCS4S4
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o6vfeY2Yz
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Nx6rEsyq
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLsTCuNcHc
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwvRKE8Ak
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mr0rZjg5b
"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.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglxvOADMx
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0pbSSv8Pj
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHcWntLHB
"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?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WHTl68Fnt
"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! 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOOujny7Js
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLT0jRHF5
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! 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XauvH5nSr
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYAzCQzB0
"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!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROadjiedHC
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZzCjHwFeo
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOx7wKFPV2
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYUhl9BCn6
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKip3d2Ra
I tilted my head, "What?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqFmdJyBno
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6W0HMK4Cb
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkWoNpw7eo
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aZXm9gMnU
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo9PEitEar
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNlGZkkLto
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH88MljHQ55
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobbxNKSAJ
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxyv8q1T2y
I nodded my head. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aSipwC9N9
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenf8HBJ8RE
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshjMhCDxy1
"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. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJFjr8Rvm
"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! 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvMuRDHItl
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuKsS1bV0D
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.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsYzfndQZ
"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!” 1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQCuKBx4sQ
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?1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq9JvUX0jr
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.1831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5MY5NbJu
