"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." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLpZI47DN6
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslp4qaJpx
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EvZFGnDIw
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDV6MC1nKW
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96Z9u1klf
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4gFUteRMs
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wxI375ynF
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUK3a9G77
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HtzupOxGq
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFkMWwgv93
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJKlxH1UP
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi54GDbxVoK
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupXd5rEk45
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZTWMnG2oa
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLxaWScCuS
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." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG8dRRiu6c
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0JUdZeEnY
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfTiN4Rc2D
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq59GjrPbd
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBgZFMtC4J
"What's up?" I asked. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvn6QhnaqO
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw2voMCRav
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf8os9Ewej
"Hehehe!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8hYM8EDr0
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Alfvai0G
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yuBtV7uRI
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlk6eexnXl
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!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatSDrWmOOA
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11G8Z1m2wG
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6bgEmV7RZ
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp3btrJIVV
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirFWRThCR0
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjMoae2gz7
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K6YfZN0uM
"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.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw16sQvBpo
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNpkxJcER0
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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFciMmKrFX5
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXFZPZ2BkG
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Phq4Knl3
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iNy0WnK3M
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5l2nubiGn
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQVVYZyL1J
"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.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sDEtqRTkO
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eDnJS4QAJ
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtBWmIyW2s
"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?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX08T5Lk1wJ
"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! 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQqhSFZggm
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQtv7M0yWa
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! 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQSUPwoEG
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcxem885x7
"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!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrqs9VoHhv
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiBfp6p3ko
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5SWcrmrYd
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukSFELagST
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ssAXtbkWM
I tilted my head, "What?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYxHTpJNe2
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuHj56hVzz
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWlFeAjm4
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV6xPJlush
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSageftxN4
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLd9UefM9m
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA3NOGXMxF
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanCgbVXa3n
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3ZIvUIeC
I nodded my head. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r5xbLGRhg
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2QsFVcPwV
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ZPMH8xYo
"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. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNap2pKTyIU
"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! 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOUH8jTRMo
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvyTWY3CgP
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.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK9k5pCQrH
"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!” 1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMvW6yv4dr
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?1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAxhYoSX0c
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.1830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiDLalr4C4
