Chapter 1, Part 1
(Nicole Williams Sarah)
The sound of crunching leaves roared
around mine and Chlois’ feet as we raced pass my neighbor’s lawn. The
bright, autumn colours, red, orange and yellow, looked like a blur as me
and Chlois ran until we reached our school, Vanessa James Middle
School, front, dusty red brick walls.
“That wasn’t bad,” said Chlois
between gasps of air. “Are you kidding? Wasn’t bad, I was so ahead of
you until you cheated.” I said. “You call me tripping you cheating, I
call it an accident.” Chlois stated. “You did it on purpose because you
wanted to impress Carlos Stevenson while he was walking to school.
You’re just jealous of Artie because she already has a boyfriend when
you’re the -"
“At least there’s someone who likes
me. I’d rather not be a person who nobody likes.” Chlois interrupted me.
“Are you talking about Artie, because she already has a boyfriend and
-" “Chlois cut me off again, “I’m talking about you.”
“What are you talking about?” Our
friends Aaron and Rick came up to us. “Where’s Jake?” If you were to
find Jake, he would usually be with Aaron and Rick, or his soon-to-be
girlfriend, Annie. “He’s with Annie.” Rick answered immediately. Rumour
has it that Rick is in love with me, but I vowed a long time ago that I
would never get a boyfriend, after that incident… in sixth grade.
Part 2
Rumour has it that Rick is in love with me, but I vowed a long time ago that I would never get a boyfriend, after that incident… in third grade.
I was with Artie and Annie, walking home, when Annie suggested that we play a game called 'lemons'. "Lemons? Seriously? There's actually a game called lemons." I said rolling my eyes. "I've heard of that game," Artie said. Then like she just remembered something weird, she shuddered and said barely above a whisper, "Oh, I’ve heard of that game." Her shoulders hunched.
"Believe it or not. I thought you hated even looking at boys" said Annie. "Ugh, can we please stop with this conversation? How do you play?" I asked. "Okay. This will take so long to explain,” She muttered “First, you get a friend to take your hand -" "What?!" Artie yelled at her. "I didn't mean it like that!" Annie yelled back, glaring at Artie.
"As I was saying," she flicked her hair over her shoulder, "your friend writes down a name of a person you know, who is the opposite gender. Then, he or she writes down a time on your other hand." She took a huge breath. "Later, you look at what your friend wrote on your hands. When you see the name and time, you have to ask the person that your friend wrote the name of, on your hand, out on the time that she wrote on your other hand. Get it? The whole point of the game is to get you surprised at who your friends think you should date." Annie explained.
"I knew, from when you suggested playing this game, that I would hate it." I said, in a hateful voice. "Come on. Try it. Artie wants to play." Annie pleaded, looking hopefully at Artie. "No. Way." Artie said in an even more hateful voice than me. I was surprised. Artie was usually the one with all the ideas, and here she was refusing to play a game? Was there something going on that I didn't know of?
Part 3
“Uh oh.” Artie complained, looking at me.
“What?” Annie asked looking at me too.
“Jasmine’s confused. It takes so long to explain things to her when she’s confused. Ugghhh!”
“Shut up. I’m not confused, I just
don’t understand why you would waste some of your precious moments of
your life, playing that game.” I retorted, my voice getting sharper by
the second.
“Geez,” Annie looked hurt, “Fine, don’t play, it was just a suggestion. Besides, we’re almost home anyways.”
“Fine, we’ll play.” I said, just to see her reaction.
She looked at me with a
‘you-think-you-can-test-me?’ look. Then just to see my reaction, she
said, “No, I don’t really want to play anymore.”
I punched her arm, “You want to play, or not? I’m serious this time.”
The pervert laughed and replied, “Yes,
yes I do. But not right now.” She said looking at her house, as we just
arrived there. “Tomorrow, later.”
“Later.” Me and Artie replied.
Chapter 2, Part 1
As me and Artie were walking to Annie's house to stay at her's for the day, Artie asked, "Hey, did you get the invitation to Brayden's party?"
Brayden was Artie's boyfriend. Surprising, yeah? That a nerd like her has the most popular kid in our grade as a boyfriend? I wanted to yell at her too.
There was a silence. I was shocked, Brayden was one of my most best friends and he didn't even invite me to his party? Someone's gonna get a girl talk about friendship, later.
"Am I supposed to?" I questioned.
"Uhh... duh, what do ya think? He said he would invite the whole grade."
"Unfairness." was all I said to her.
Just when Annie's house came into sight, an ugly, disgusting noise came to sound.
"Ewwwwww. What?... Is that?" Artie complained.
"Annie said that there was a construction near her house. That... noise, if that's what you want to call it instead of just plain gross, is probably the racket that the construction workers are making."
She muttered someting under her breath that sounded like, "Rude."
I struggled to keep my balance while holding the abnormally, too large duffel.
"You think that noise is rude. Something that's rude is this annoying duffel."
Finally, when I failed to keep the bag up, it fell down on the ground with a satisfying thud.
Now I was the one who mumbled, "Rude."
When we, at last reached the house, Annie opened the door and welcomed us in.
"Let's go get some food, I. Am. Starving." Artie complained, again.
"Two complains in one day?" I turned to Annie, "This girl is on a role."
"Shut up." Artie mumbled.
"We'll get food. After that we're playing lemons."
In a state of surprise, I dropped my duffel on the wooden floor, and I heard something crack inside.
"Oh, great." I groaned for two reasons. One, because of the, I hope not too bad, crack in my bag. And second, because of the person who invented the game, lemons.
Phhffftt. Rude.
Chapter 2, Part 2
As me and the others sat down on Annie's bedroom floor, Artie said, "Okay, guys remember, you have to give me Brayden, 'kay?"
I rolled my eyes, "Artie, you're not supposed toknow who you're gonna get, and Brayden's already asked you out, what would he think if you asked him out again?"
"Well, I'm not gonna ask another guy out, If Brayden hears, what will he say?"
"Can we shut up and start?" Annie questioned annoyed.
She ignored our no's, and continued to spread out some peices of paper.
"What are those for?" Artie asked.
"I wrote all the guys' names in our grade on these peices of paper. We all pick one, and ask the guy who's name is on the paper."
"I thought we wrote a name on our hands?"
"I changed it. How ugly would our hands look if we had some guy's name on them."
Me and Artie didn't even bother replying to her.
"Alright, let's start!" She said enthusiastically, and started to clap her hands. When she didn't stop, Artie took one of her hands and slammed it down on the floor. Then she looked Annie with a 'your welcome' look on her face.
I sighed and said, "Let's start."
"Me first." Annie shuffled all the peices of paper.
"I didn't know we had this many gu-" Artie was cut off by Annie.
"Shhh."
I heard Artie mumble "stupid hipster".
As Annie was - rather slowly, may I add in - reaching down to pick up a card. I yelled, "Oh please! It's bad enough I have to play this game, now I have to play with a sloth?!"
I heard Artie snicker, but Annie just scoffed and proceeded to pick a card.
