"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." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANADej0FpHGeH
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANArYhL9zmXxD
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAuej8mlWp2V
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA4VD9PdeuRK
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAxpUfH6pwoo
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA4GTjbilFjm
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA5wyO9CXqe2
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAzqnzDPueEQ
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA4njcgFhDsB
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAnOmQL4r1UU
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAaVE4Rwt4iq
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1394Please respect copyright.PENANADYHbO6Iqsm
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAbLozS0k1nW
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANArC9AdiGb0u
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAnDFiy2Dvoj
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." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAFdpRILRIf8
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAb01tJz01e8
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAIMbglblre5
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA4KDKlm5Q2s
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAFVNWF6hwDs
"What's up?" I asked. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAPPBCqJChsh
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAKGQukt17z6
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAufi5YYpt03
"Hehehe!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA7mmskgFT7j
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAzaQYODVLUa
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAkXMaI7cLsN
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAH1zDD5L2Et
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!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAQudpvezFDa
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAROCOkbWTGK
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAvFdiI0FQGG
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAnY3v4INkYO
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAuSeZjQQB14
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAZwnM4biEWF
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAnlNpFRVGLM
"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.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAbT57Sv1dWi
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAUKCbCLfmDn
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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAWT9GAFkuaO
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAUMZTS7sTVI
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAXvdCAfDSiT
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAZUSAFFroyX
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAKI34Z7J5pB
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAUBo3eKwcfT
"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.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAWlRbSsCY3I
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAzJZX7lUj3X
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1394Please respect copyright.PENANAD8dYkv5o7V
"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?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAmQzMCFwBA3
"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! 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAcVwRPA6IOb
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAg60gqlj9nN
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! 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA6D8h6jgv5k
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAPrlgJAUnk3
"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!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAQvlGiomC8s
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAQlK99iwP0c
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAmasqV4K470
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANANCdigu9ANp
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAV76DtBc3dD
I tilted my head, "What?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAMtVDINEB66
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAUVKK588cA9
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAsBcpfBafWD
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANArFKXDNwPzX
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANALFfzGZkZCm
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAbRhnMiEEIH
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAq72lzfeExo
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ED88vkKj
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA0hjBifHIl1
I nodded my head. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANACT5wZoTOMa
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1394Please respect copyright.PENANAaxeH7nbAID
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANA9UGxkDzBwF
"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. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAxuo0KphGMY
"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! 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAhPl5PqL8Uq
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1394Please respect copyright.PENANADiqsW5Hpfl
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.1394Please respect copyright.PENANABVeB892sFf
"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!” 1394Please respect copyright.PENANAu0NO4PUKut
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?1394Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqy8DRbSS
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.1394Please respect copyright.PENANAzC5SMID6Ol
