1: Nothing Much

Unleashed,

Chapter 1,

Nothing Much,

I sighed as I walked into my first period English class. "You look like shit, " A long haired blonde in the first row stated, looking for something in her backpack. I sat down in the seat next to her.

"You're the worst best friend ever." I grumbled, setting down my backpack and laying my head on the desktop.

She shrugged, "maybe, but you're stuck with me." Penelope brushed her hair over her shoulder. I saw the pen length scar from a fall from a tree when we were little. I cried when she was at the hospital. Even if I wanted her gone, she'd never leave me alone.

The bell rang and everyone sat down, some people rushed through the door so they weren't late. Ms. Krissly stood and started handing out papers.

Yay, more paper. Poor trees.

"Support your local logger." Someone commented behind us, as if reading my mind. I chuckled and started reading the paper.

Always support your local loggers!

The last bell rang and everyone jumped, either out of their seats and out the door or from waking up from their nap during history. No offense to Mr. Gale or any history teacher, but history is sometimes a bore.

"Bye, Mr. Gale. Have a nice night and tell Kaila to get off her feet. She shouldn't be working, she should be resting, she's gotta be up late when the baby comes." I said, slowly packing up my stuff and walking to the door.

He chuckled, shaking his head. "I tried. She insists working, something about pulling her weight, " Mr. Gale turned around and started erasing the whiteboard.

"Maybe you should tell her she's carrying and delivering us the next great generation of the Gale bloodline." I mentioned, migrating closer to the door.

Mr. Gale turned around, now done cleaning the board. His thinking face came on and a smile tugged at his lips. "That's smart. I will. You should go, Pet. Your friends are probably waiting." He winked. I groaned and rolled my eyes, standing in the doorway.

"I'm not a teacher's pet, I swear!" I ended up laughing. "Bye, Mr. Gale." I said walking into the hall. I heard a faint bye from him.

I got to my locker and dropped off the textbooks and stuff I didn't need for homework. I walked outside to the student parking lot and saw most people had cleared out. The crew were at my pick up joking and playing around as I walked towards them.

"Hey hoe, lookie here! Cat decided to come join us." Marco shouted, throwing his hands up, almost hitting Penelope in the face with his elbow.

"Hey! Watch it, Marc." She complained.

"Moron." Margo muttered, running her hands through her super dark brown hair. Her twin, Marco glared at her.

"Wow. People really clear out fast don't they? Well, I guess who wants to spend more time at school than they have to." I said.

"You." They answered in unison, then laughed together.

"Oh. Ha. Ha. Very funny, you're all hilarious." I said sarcastically.

I opened the door to my old truck and tossed my backpack on the passenger floor.

"Are we gonna go or what?" I shouted, turning the ignition. The passenger door opened and Penelope and Margo looked at the seat, then each other.

Penelope leaned back and looked at Margo's butt. "I'll sit in the middle, my butt's smaller." She said climbing in. I laughed as Margo's jaw dropped. She scoffed and climbed in slamming the door.

"Poor baby." I mumbled, feeling bad for the truck. I felt the truck rock as Marco climbed in the bed and laid down. Good thing I got a long bed. I drove to the diner and parked. I turned off the truck and we all hopped out.

"You're a terrible driver." Marco told me, rubbing his shoulder.

"Yet you always have me drive. Lets go." We all started down the sidewalk.

"Plus, you ain't dead." Margo commented, matter of factually. "Yet." We laughed as Marco glared at her.

Greenberg's not the biggest town. It has what we need. Only thing that's entertaining around here is the sports teams, the movies, the park, and the gossip. Nothing much but somehow, we live on.

Somehow.
