Raven drove me to Nick's house. She drove fast yet swiftly with her black Sentra. I was slumped against the seat. I didn't want to go to Nick's house. I wasn't sure how I felt about him right now. I was confused and angry. And on top of that my head hurt like hell. Too late to back out now, Raven was pulling into his driveway. Shit. Now I actually have to face him and talk to him. Raven got out of the car and turned a glare towards me. I reluctantly got out of the car and followed her to the front door. She rung the door bell. Nick's Mom answered it.

"He's in his room with Angela. Me and his dad are going out to dinner. Don't let Vanessa and Angela get into a fight and break anything." She warned Raven.
"Don't worry. I won't let these two girls rip each others' throats out."
"Very well then, Raven." She smiled at her and nodded. Nick's parents walked out the door got into their car and drove away.
"Let's go, Vess."
"Time to face my death sentence?" I said sarcastically.
"Yep"
"Can't wait."

We walked up the stairs towards Nick's room. Raven opened the door and I stepped inside. I saw Angela and Nick making out with their shirts off.

"BREAK IT UP YOU TWO SLOBBER MOUTHS!!!" Raven screamed at them. I started crying and ran out of the room. I suddenly knew how I felt about Nick. I loved him.

After stupidly gaping at the five new students, I picked up my posture and my pride and set off to find Raven. I saw her sitting at one of the tables towards the corner of the courtyard waiting for me. Raven is a tall, skinny girl with almost translucent skin and burgundy eyes. She had jet black hair streaked with red. You might call her a goth but, I just call her Raven. Her deep set brown eyes were closed and she was tapping to the rhythm of her music. As soon as I had set my backpack down and sat beside her eyes fluttered open with a question. "He actually kissed you?"
"Yeah. How did you know? I figured Angela would have-"
"She did. But, I know you better than to make a bold move like that."
"I'm glad someone knows the truth."
"You know she is a preppy snob."
"Well, DUH!" We laughed together.

It was pretty much all going fine until Angela showed up. "What on Earth gave you the fantasy that you could ever," her voice began to raise,"EVER kiss my boyfriend?" She practically screamed at me.
"Your boyfriend, Nick, kissed me!"
"He would never do that!"
"Let me spell it out for you K-I-S-S-E-D ME!"
"Ugh!" She punched me in the jaw. I felt warm blood trickle in my mouth.
"Want me to spell that out for you-" I hit her into a wall with my leg, while still holding my mouth with one hand.

Suddenly with out any warning she hit me in the head with her heel. I felt something hard and cold. I soon realized that it was the concrete. I heard shouting and arguing, then it went black.




I woke up on the bed in Raven's room she, looked up at me as soon as I opened my eyes. Her deep set eyes were angry, I wondered if she was angry with me.

"You alright?"
"I think so." I slurred
"For a prep, she hit you pretty good."
"What happened to her?"
"I think you just ripped her clothing and broke the heel on your shoe."
"Aww, man I was hoping to have done more damage than that."
"I think we both were." I laughed at least Raven had a sense of humor, and her anger was lighting up.
"Come on lets go to Nick's."
"Why on Earth would I want to go there?"
"Because you need to talk to him and Angela."
"I'm not going."
"Come on. You know you want some answers, and you never know you might actually get a good crack at Angela."
"Well, when you put it that way. I guess I'll come as long as you'll be there."
"Of course. Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"I'd do anything! Just to hold you in my arms-" I hit the alarm as hard as I could. I yawned and stretched upward, then bounced back on my big, soft black comforter. I groaned. I didn't want to go to school. Didn't want to face the drama, the glares, the appalled faces, and most of all his face. I rolled out of bed, hitting the floor with a crash.

"Joy. Time for school." I said sarcastically. No way in hell I wanted to go to school. I shrugged in to a black and white stripped shirt of baby blue jeans. I remembered to day was picture day. I slight curled my brunette hair and looked into my crystal blue eyes. It was unusual to have blue eyes with brown hair. I just sighed grabbed a black jacket and headed for my car.

I drove down the freeway towards school. I gently pulled into the student parking lot. I kept my door locked and banged my head against the seat. As if life wasn't already complicated enough my best friend kissed me when he has a girlfriend. I am officially and eternally confused. I practically screamed in my head.

I knew I was going to regret this but, I unlocked the door and stepped into the great gloom of clouds. That was the first time I saw them. They were drop dead gorgeous. There was five of them. My mouth hung open. I just blindly walked to my locker and tried not to think about everything I had just saw and what had happened before it.

"Vess? Vess. VESS!" I looked up and saw he his face close too close. I pulled my head up too fast and then our lips crashed together.

"GAH!! I am soooo sorry! I didn't mean to do that- I came up too fast- I.. I" He cut me short.

"It's OK. No one has to know and it was and it was an accident, right?" He looked at me questionably.

"Of course."

"So um... you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yeah. Um... I am really, really sorry about what I said and I want to be friends again. And you are the best thing that ever happened to me-" I sobbed. I was not expecting what happened next. He helped me to my feet and tilted my chin. His lips hit mine softly, moving my lips with his I was still bewildered. We parted. Only to clash our lips with each other again.

He lifted me onto his dresser. And then we stopped. He settled for just hugging me while I cried like a baby and my eyes wide with confusion. "Why did yo-" He put a finger on my lips and shrugged.

"Just a friend comforting a friend. Now I think you should leave. Angela is here and it could get... complicated." I just stood up and popped his screen out and slid down his roof. And ran home.

As soon as I got there my mom opened the door and ran into her and started crying again. I was so mad and confused. A friend comforting a friend. Humph. I scoffed. I just ran to my room and sat on the floor. I just stared blankly at the floor not quite seeing it. My cellphone started ringing Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

"Hello?"
"If you ever, EVER! Kiss my boyfriend-" I hung up the phone. Obviously someone had seen us and told her. I sighed. School is going to be so very complicated. I took off my pants and crawled under my plain black blanket, took my hair down, closed my eyes and prayed for sleep to come soon.

Once, I reached his house I knocked on the door very hard. His mother answered. " Why hello, Vanessa. i wasn't expecting to-"
"Can I talk to Nick? It is important." I saw her glance at my appearance. I was sopping wet and out of breath.
"Please." I begged.
"But, of course you can."
"Thank you so much!" I hugged her hard. She smiled and nodded at me.

I ran up the stairs amazingly quiet. Usually I would have knocked but, I felt to anxious. I threw open the door as he was in his boxers getting ready to get in bed. He looked over at me startled and then horrified. I couldn't figure out why, until I realized... I, his best friend, was staring at him half-naked. "Am I interrupting something?"
"Um, yes?!"
"I am sort of of um... naked." That was all it took. I fainted everything went black as soon as my head hit the floor.

I drove into the student lot an parked my car. I slowly un-buckled my seat belt and glared out the wheel. I hit may head on the wheel and sobbed. He'll be so busy with Angela he won't even notice me. I'll be all alone this year. And Angela will make it clear all over again that he was hers. I sighed and quickly grabbed my backpack and locked my car.

That is when I saw him and Angela kiss. I gripped the car for support, trying not to fall to the ground. Angrily I grabbed my iPod out of my backpack and scrolled down to Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan. I turned up all the way and stalked off towards my locker. I opened my locker took out my books and focused on no taking my anger out on some innocent person. Deep breath. In and out, Vanessa. You can do it.

I thought I could do it till I saw him and Angela walking towards me. Angela glaring at me. How dare he try to approach me. Well, go ahead if he can catch me. I walked in the wrong direction, towards the music room. He followed. Of course. I rolled my eyes. Then I sighed , I did want to talk to him. I turned to face him.

"Hey, Vess. Why were you trying to run away from me?"
" I have my reasons" I turned to glare in Angela's direction.
" Why do two hate each other?!"
" Shall I state the obvious?" Angela said waving her hand at me. I suddenly felt self- conscience.
" One word. Preppy. Not exactly my type of people."
" Well, I can color coordinate." I sprayed her shirt with my red powerade.
" So can I. And might I add red looks lovely on you." I spat.
" Vanessa! Look what you did. What is wrong with you?!" He was mad.
" You. Ever being friends with you was the biggest mistake of my life!!!"
" Vess... I never knew-" I cut him short.
" Just go." I threw the exact same shirt she was wearing at Angela.
" I knew I would lose control." I explained. Then I ran to my first period.

I never saw him again that day. I didn't look. I also wouldn't answer his phone calls. Or e-mails. It had been going on like this for three months then everything just stopped. No contact. No... anything.

I felt more depressed than ever. I had just lost my best friend. No... I had just lost my world. Everything worth living for... gone. I just couldn't take it anymore. I jumped out of my window. And ran. Ran as fast as I could towards his house. Not another day. I thought. No, not another day... like this.

I was walking on snow white clouds, looking at the perfect shape. It wasn't really anything but, whatever it was it was beautiful. I heard his voice, that sounded like thunder. it was both comforting, yet authoritative at the same time. "' Go and save my children! For I must end the world, because all have sinned.'"

All I ever got to do was simply nod, and then came the wooshing feeling. The earth came into view fast, the BAM! Everything went black.

"Ugh!" I had been having this dream for the last couple of months. It was starting to worry me. I glanced at the alarm clock. 5:30 read the red numbers of the digital clock. I groaned. I had a half an hour left of sleep and yet I couldn't sleep.

Kicking off the covers, I sighed and got out of my cozy bed. I grabbed some jeans off my chair and my favorite Simple Plan T-shirt. Then, I scavenged the room for my sneakers. I found them and yanked them on. I quietly walked to my window and skillfully popped the screen out and put it against the inside of my bedroom.

I jumped off the roof and my feet landed with a silent thud! on the concrete. I started walking towards his street, my bestest friend in the world's street. I found a small pebble as I walked towards his house and picked it up. I reached his house and saw his room with the light on. Hmmm. I wonder who is at his at this time... Then I saw her silhouette. "Angela", I said hoarsely. I dropped the pebble and started walking away. I hated her. She always stole my time away from him. I shivered. It was cold. My cellphone buzzed. I glanced at it. 6:00. Time to get ready for school. I walked through the front door. I slammed it angrily. "Angela again?" My mom guessed from the expression on my face.

"Yes." I said spat.
"Maybe you should get to now her bet..." The look on my face cut her off.
"Just go get ready for school."
"School..." I groaned.
" March" My mother commanded.
"I'm going, I'm going." I chastised.

As soon as I got into my room, I popped my screen back in and turned on my CD player. I grabbed a pillow off my bed, sat criss-cross on the floor, and screamed into my pillow. It's going to be a long year. I thought. Then I got dressed and went down stairs to star my first day of being a Sophomore. Oh, goody! I thought sarcastically.
