"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." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Baqt7EGOX
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86SbfGh7n
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL843Q0gpR8
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVN3jsOCUg
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBKnZHbRgh
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPRlhBbBcj
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0R2xWzpDN
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Mj7X1xAP
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeNeQodawW
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKH3lBTCZI
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZkIU6GqXF
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxivNtTzss
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6mlbWMt04
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1osFyeyCC
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWahoh4LW5
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." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFitVsJYD7
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIgunf3Ylr
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGQOyP7V4
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjvvz3fAO
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOb83epehv
"What's up?" I asked. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXtobPjp6D
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdp7AR6Aj
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3SD5XZxdI
"Hehehe!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgswArzbRt
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHoHEyCpFX
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyxNF52YQ
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcblRE8Spu
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!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI869YJu7v
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc1j88lxWP
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m4kbZ7jBb
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YoEfmNbWS
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxUV8lO4xv
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaqzHRuaZz
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktiN4ylxw6
"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.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxrFrQRgTA
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUZE5iU6e3
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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWC0GTuMfs
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHaF7qAc2
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt0c90XBsq
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1qb8pCtkl
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFM7XTmFE0
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvesYCFPrqX
"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.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFngsoNYac
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYaF6Ru4wI
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFfSKpxPPU
"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?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtPDpYwnyC
"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! 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwi4InwfGu
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxIMMzrtxs
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! 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cj516P1J6
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzeXvG4T1Z
"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!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwIBGV4TN
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40zSrfxs6S
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9P5av2gur
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDiyTYAAnL
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabvCfZXWOM
I tilted my head, "What?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokzX7TMRB6
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuFN3L66VB
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4sQ2jfBUS
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB47kgEzB3m
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7oZ3sN5fZ
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pAemGq30o
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK4LZH7Y1Y
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpJ6ClV4I
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hHIKQIWQ
I nodded my head. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0uFtc3ep
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCG9yjpWQ5
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzZf5JIH8t
"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. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3rMA8dynU
"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! 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkBQMyRybs
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX6KSMvtOk
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.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5LVuJK1y
"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!” 1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnlNtfSCzm
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?1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTfAoJCogn
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.1175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRQJY0jPHS
