"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." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoW0EeDicp
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW39uRfcqje
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY3ZrFZDql
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydIFAIktad
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVDP4GRZ6
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AXWNIVioc
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgAXknIWI3
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEq1lqrVz
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWA2fOcpch
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9djFhFETR
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoY60nMk0z
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTWtFSMTkG
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHKkGLDtN
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTMdE2VwRC
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag4PuVw7Mw
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." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgIb93TRxt
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51NV4g5tSq
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7FG5LkSU
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIT1S1G9O9
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbh0PvWqYc
"What's up?" I asked. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YMVEOELx3
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj7hPNcGn6
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueV0svkZr4
"Hehehe!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bnkiCO3on
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMriE8xt3F
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkCMc44KHv
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaVF4WIYgP
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!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81p8mRKTs7
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKZHheCSCK
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCFZd6Xhf4
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1qZmR6cxW
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymrudbm1Kv
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD3rjNErXp
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWrxWcBohY
"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.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebsmyv8sY3
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfehQgp70ww
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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOaJEdBxOk
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13B7l8fzep
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI3pKQFzTG
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XkQwvZUmb
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcP4c32S5A
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIS9D6TNlQ
"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.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK2PysRuXO
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQQAvfVpe
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpR1eFrlQk
"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?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWo4oyoPvl
"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! 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHV3mYpVxS
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHUPrPc7fj
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! 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jhjn1dGHH
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QkcLQf7fF
"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!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaD8Sfm9Do
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgl1Gh4GsQ
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoic6bfCSNx
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqVGTKOgEK
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EgxwG4Keo
I tilted my head, "What?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEQQM3zst
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzuUx2vkjE
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXnCmjanfl
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefhuapZDcR
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARLmDijhCF
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FpbQWzXFl
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn7FzBGuA4
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBiOeKaO7s
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYOq2ywkK
I nodded my head. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RklhgZplT
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ib5pCJer
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoC83NBL8x
"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. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIUp9zDdQ1
"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! 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2uQVCkWSZ
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebRYfctlVR
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.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7WVxGA5yG
"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!” 1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnpIi4l3QW
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?1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xsrayyr5e
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.1424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1zO23J6c
