Well...it is different since most stories out there have a best friend for the main character,an enemy,a crush and supporting roles. Yours is different! A crush and everyone else is an enemy. perfect twist and I LOOOVVVEEE IT!!
Caroline was flirtatiously chatting it up with Josh right in front of me. As soon as Josh saw me, he turned away nervously. "Um, Annie-" "It's Abby," I blurted, immediately regretting it. He frowned."Okay, ABBY, I just wanna be friends. Okay?" Caroline sweetly smiled at me and grabbed Josh's hand, interlacing her kelly green fingernails with his."Yeah, were going out now! You understand right?" I fought back tears. My legs froze, as much as I wanted to run away."Yeah," I said quietly."Bye." I took off running and stopped at the gym. I found the gap between the hedges, pushed through, and followed the narrow, grassy path to the big willow tree that only I knew about. I took off my shoes, climbed into a low branch, and began sobbing. Through my blurred vision, I saw a girl coming towards me. I sniffled and wiped my eyes."Um, who are you?" "I'm Sophie. Sophie Summers? I'm the captain of the volleyball team. I was just going to practice in the gym and I heard you crying," the girl explained. She dusted off her denim mini-skirt and awkwardly shook off her lace-up converse boots. She climbed up next to me. "What's wrong?" Sophie inquired gently. She looked at me behind her golden hair. I looked at my feet."Well... Caroline just sort of stole my crush, and my friend and I are in a big fight." To my surprise, she just adjusted her peony Juicy Couture V-Neck slouchy shirt and looked at me."I'm sorry, that sounds awful." "Yeah, it is." "Why don't you come to my house? That will be more fun than hiding in a tree," she suggested. I nodded. She led me through more trees until a big house in the center of a grove's fairy circle came into view. "Wow," I said, impressed. "Cool." "Thanks!" she smiled. "I take this shortcut to school sometimes." She opened a sliding glass door at the back of the house, next to a pool, and took me into the cozy, warm home. We went up a spiral staircase and down the carpeted hall to a colorful room. She tossed her lime green backpack onto a cheery vanity table and sat down on the big, yellow, frilly bed. "I like your house. It's much cooler than mine, which is only a downstairs flat with 4 rooms," I giggled. She sighed happily and payed down."I like my house, too. It has so much nature surrounding it, yet modern technology beyond the front garden gate." I sat in a blackberry, wooden armed sofa with tossle pink throwpillows and nodded."Totally." I drifted off into thinking of Claire and Jason. And the note. Probably a love note. You know, I could really use sweet little Sophie as help for further investigation...
I had gotten a ride in Sophie's Ford Escape to get home. I unlocked the front door and thundered into the house, dropping my stuff onto the floor and kicking back in the living room La-Z-Boy. As I dully flipped open my Spanish homework, a flash of blonde hair caught me by surprise. "DAD!" I shrieked delightfully, sprinting into the hallway and twirling my arms around him."Your back!" He laughed heartily and wrapped me up in the hug. The strong aroma of Head and Shoulders, maple syrup, and firewood overwhelmed me, like always. But I liked it. I could also sort of smell bandaids, medicine, and alcohol sterilizing equipment, but I ignored it. I was so ecstatic to have him back! "Missed you, too, Abs," he replied happily. "Some girl got attacked by her boyfriend, so it was an emergency!" I pulled away."Wait, who was it?" "You know that's confidential, honey." "Dad!" I groaned."Please just tell me!" I gave him my best 'pretty pretty please' face, complete with a quivering lower lip and wide eyes. He rolled his eyes and put his hands on his hips. Ack.Eek.Ike. Must get that "sassy dad" image out of my head. "Fine," he giggled."I think that the girls name was... Claire, Claire something or other?"
