"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." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi2A1xnJ0w
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd52VAbTehs
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTvGZ5BWMY
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErs3z7JeFv
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRz44fOcA
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5wT959jFC
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLeWKP793
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lHYJ8yHMg
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5XfdtI6Q
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCNZ8hhjBM
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8T7FTLkkB
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHm7kG5b9
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLT3GdY1qx
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjFZRcCXOI
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJfAxBsGL1
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." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJk134ui9C
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s54cy6tSE
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIoeKZ80bN
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psiln0eFC
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wvt0bkEc9
"What's up?" I asked. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOQmrPAcri
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ThCVyVEL
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RUbusdJ19
"Hehehe!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c7CUB17te
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9C0dUUVfg
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfR4zsFl7O
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVCW4thwSZ
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!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iX0qoRsgT
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R7cvTHJHc
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5hh6m763c
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnqD8Xj90
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvY6HI40a
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBn7qUZxV1
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutAT5EZGUz
"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.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb4KqLdciX
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WX8EAoeUm
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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZFmGouoU
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzuenSel5q
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOpmUREjDF
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yCjFcmT3a
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FC0wesUMq
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXxTJDPEz6
"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.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RFrwEDw3K
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14nyd6fukB
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRlMZrCMYI
"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?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2cLlwdoIN
"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! 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQuFwmjpU1
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4u8Uaxjc
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! 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1teBpncU8l
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bnmMQBeGK
"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!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5ZqlezDo
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2CJZYhWZ7
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdOL5mohR
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uY6Du0WG0
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UlftMva36
I tilted my head, "What?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIak1CHkMg
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14WLROkVfv
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8mMMqkB6E
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYRN8FaunJ
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv7ktH1QYE
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx19K3lAPL
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCvL2bEbo
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXruPSEM0Cw
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MZ2gOdMYg
I nodded my head. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOTjUd62xY
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ349ZvO7Laf
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdCa0vZpax
"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. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaTMencRZ3
"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! 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwBqQnQBB
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybEiD1i0un
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.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4JUztNHU
"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!” 1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCpSr8Klbg
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?1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED4OUke56B
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.1333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFT8dahFA
