"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." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqFWhsd6si
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV3ymEFoFA
He laughed lightly, "I'm up." I smiled innocently again. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8rQ8tun3c
I looked over at Elizabeth and said, "I got Russell up." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9dSAPRUyV
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdcFgebpbZ
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEyclee0oU
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78BIfaPyvY
"Lizzy can I please go outside?!" I asked impatiently, poking her belly lightly. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R2UWFzPsN
She shook her head as she replied, "Skylar, you have to help Lola and I clean up." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNNVflMisS
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv9yLDNGgW
Ansell looked around, "And Nathan?" Lizzy shrugged casually. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrL1At0Op
"Haylee is helping Hope. The rest, I don't know." Lizzy replied.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0VJSMk9N7
Thomas walked in through the dark, oak wood, front door, "I brought more blankets!" Lizzy walked up to him. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhGvl9Am8R
"Do you know where Lola and Nathan are?" She asked him. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR6cK9FG0j
He nodded his head and answered, "Yeah. They're at the lake." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdveHOPYz4
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." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WUt7nKYws
Lizzy groaned loudly as she commanded me, "Skylar go get Lola!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhRjSXTT9e
Xavier added in, "And Nathan!” He finally stood up from his bed and continued, “He needs to help!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPUAE6ik3B
I nodded my head, "Okay." I walked out of the small house. Yeah, send me again for the one thousandth time! 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr86OxCGHK
"Skylar!" I turned my head to find Haylee calling my name making her way over to me. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDebLW78vk
"What's up?" I asked. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEQyCCPTs
She laughed, "Lola and Nathan sitting on a tree! K-I-" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas3k2LcRPA
"Stop it! You know Lola and Nathan hates being teased like that!" I distinctly commanded.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ttivDfRCL
"Hehehe!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtYlgTDJbU
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ZInIbwAS
Lola's head turned to face me. "Both of you need to come with me." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3H78AjblA
She groaned, "Ten more minutes!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1kE5ItoK
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!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1MGzb3Mh
He smiled warmly at Lola, "Come on." He got up as he helped her up. I rolled my eyes. Yuck! 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMoftUyzHp
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wwjx0Ln1i
Xavier stepped up, "Just remember the rule we live by; pals before gals." Nathan joined ignored the goodbye and left us.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqRhkTQpYT
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEzZnnqnWM
"You were making a bracelet." I replied with a bitchy tone. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki3TiPvOid
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWYBUpcJDG
"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.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A6h1mt67f
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW5Rm3JYfE
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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Znd6gZSr4
"Skylar?" I heard Lizzy speak.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv3YqdQoJE
I had my head shoot up, "Yeah?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGtW4n41TO
Lizzy smiled, "Thinking about Russell?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg6IX6zVQy
My face turned bright red as I quickly said, "No!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe9IIRzzSZ
Lola joined in with a rude comment, "Haha! You can’t even flirt!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUBGd3e7O
"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.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphhb11aRhw
"Skylar," Lizzy stated, grinning, "You liked him before any of this happened." 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcokwwKwhn
Lola nodded her head agreeingly, "Yeah. Come on Skylar! Tell him how you feel!"1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjd3aEklUt
"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?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzMQ4yNW10
"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! 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8LNflpTMO
"Skylar! Stop daydreaming! Let’s go to the veggies!" Lizzy said. I nodded my head and followed.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj31h4ZcWw
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! 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC2v3TZnWG
"For the last time, I’m not!" I argued.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqypUaDCSc
"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!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53cn85VLMI
"Stop it!" I hopelessly pleaded. Just then we heard some laughter. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavMFv5hOYg
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktJbjOjqza
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjkDDDHBNc
"Skylar! Guess what?!" She asked me with excitement. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL369SsApR
I tilted my head, "What?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHdP0wBQ7A
"Marley is pregnant!" I stood there shocked. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjsSrcqd0A
"What?" I lifelessly asked. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRB9m5nvlw
She nodded her head, "Can you believe it?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeggPEgOJMP
I shook my head, "Who’s the dad?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW0P7NNSXA
She lifted her shoulders up, "I don’t know! She did so many boys that nobody knows!" Everyone listened. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE5opfSGBV
Lizzy walked up, "How do you know this?" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUTcNDRM7
"She was making a big scene! She told her boyfriend about it and he denied being the father!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBopUZYwGQv
Lizzy announced, "What a coward!" 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO36okNW0sz
I nodded my head. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ048sCQ4Cr6
Thomas shrugged, "You can’t blame him."1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q4pWFDBvG
Lizzy, Haylee, Lola, and I both glared at him. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAH4UJVHPz
"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. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlUJkDDrH
"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! 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzEZxPwETC
"Come on guys! That slut had it coming!" Nathan yelled. 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwW8iiKhp1
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.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUaVKSWdCM
"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!” 1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDY2Vq37Sb
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?1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNDCl2CSkB
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.1623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFyrmzTDAk
