The Ripple Effect

The Ripple Effect 1

Home is where our story begins . Life is nothing , but a wave . You can either be a ripple on the water and make no impact or you can be a tsunami and create a huge impact on the people around you . He was a tsunami . He made a difference . I was a ripple and didn't matter . He mattered , even if he he only made a difference in my life . He saved me , from everyone around me , but also from myself and that's what matters . But everything comes to an end .

I ran done the stairs and grabbed an apple from the bowl on the kitchen counter and ran out the house before my mom could say something . I wasn't in the mood for a confrontation . I got in my car and started driving towards the school . Living in Seattle is great , but some of the people aren't . Cough Argents Cough . The richest family , they own almost every building in the state. I shouldn't judge to much , I mean I used to date an Argent. Hunter Argent is the most selfish and arrogant guy I have ever met and I grew up with two brothers. Everyone loves him , with that perfect skin , teeth , hair and body he is quite the looker. I thought he was nice when we dated , but he is just a grade A jerk. We broke up about a year ago, but we only dated for a few months. Valerie hated me , but I don't care what she thinks. I pulled into a vacant parking spot and climbed out of the car. Just as I was about to walk across the street a black Lamborghini raced passed me, into a spot three cars away from mine. Hunter and his friend, Justin climbed out. Justin did the sup nod at me and I managed to flash him a forced smile. I glanced at Hunter, his black hair gelled to perfection and his clothes looking expensive. I looked down at my outfit , a jean, sneakers and a plain t-shirt. "Hey , Quinn. How are you ?"Justin asked as he approached me. "I'm fine, how are you?" I replied. Hunter was walking a few paces in front of me and I knew from the way he was walking that he is annoyed. "I'm great. Are you coming to the game? "He asked as we walked towards the the school building. I'm not the most popular girl in school, but most of the guys have a crush on me and Justin is one. I don't care if people like me, I only want to be me. "Yeah , I guess... Um , I'm not sure." I said and shrugged. "Aw, come on you have to. It's a big game, please."He begged me." Fine , what time?"I asked. "Awesome, just stay after school and watch us warm up." He said smiling. We reached my locker and he walked away with Hunter. I grabbed my books and walked to home room.

I sat down infront of Valerie. She and her possey were giggling when I walked through the door. I heard a chair creek and all of a sudden Valerie was leaning over me. "I know what you did last summer." She whispered in my ear. My heart dropped. The bell rang, but all I heard were her words whispering poison in ears.
