What could have been

what could have been ch. 5

"Please! Please! Please! Please! PLEASE!" I begged.

"Fine! But we better not get in trouble like last time. Otherwise the next time ya'll will see me is when I'm being put 6-feet under into my grave!" Marilyn said dramatically. You wouldn't think Marilyn is dramatic but she is.

"Blown out like a candle," Sarah added. Then she got up and started chanting random sounds and rain dancing.

"When Sarah gets done talking to her ancestors we can go?" I asked Marilyn excitedly.

"Yes but you have to carry the toilet paler and the eggs Jessie. That's what slowed me down and got me caught last time." Marilyn stated.

I smiled at the memory Marilyn implanted in my brain.

It was about two years ago, I was 15 and Marilyn and Sarah were 14. Around that time egging and teepeeing houses was big. So us three crazies decided, why not us too?

We picked a normal Saturday and walked down to the area where the kids we don't like lived. Stevey Bosehare was our first target. He got with Marilyn awhile back but then he started flirting with Sarah. Once Sarah told Marilyn, she broke up with him and cried for weeks. I guess you could say this was a form of revenge. We did our job well.

The next house we hit belonged to Madeline Rosme, but everyone called her Maddie. She got in a fight with one of my girls, Tia, and it didn't end well. Maddie sacked her because it was an uneven fight, 3 to 1. Then she went and made up rumors about Tia sleeping with all these guys and that nobody should be her friend. Not much else to explain........................except that's where Marilyn got caught.

Before we went to do this we all swore that this was an "every man for themselves" situation. So we were walking back and Marilyn was carrying everything when someone opened the front door of Maddie's house. We all scrambled and i went to hide inside a playhouse that belonged to a neighbor of Maddie's. I waited there until the shadow, that Maddie's porchlight cast, was gone. I sprinted back to Marilyn's house and checked over my shoulder to make sure no one was following me.

Once i got back to Marilyn's house, I saw Sarah lying on the front yard grass breathing heavily. I had to admit, I was pretty winded myself.

"Where....is....Mariyln?" I panted. I fell onto the grass next to Sarah and tried to catch my breath.

"Don't......know....," Sarah heaved out, "I....ran and hid...in some bushes...'til the coast was....clear. The last time....i saw her was....when we had to split....back at Maddie's."

About one second after Sarah said that we both snapped our heads up at the same time, realising where Marilyn was.

"Damn....Marilyn's in trouble," Sarah stated gravely. We both turned and reluctantly started walking back to Maddie's house.

Marilyn got in deep trouble for getting caught. She wasn't allowed to do anything for a month! She couldn't even go to practice! I knew that if i carried everything, i wouldn't get caught though. I weighed the odds of us getting caught and decided they were in my favor.

"Fine! Let's go!" I told Marilyn.

Andres POV

I asked her out, and of course she said yes. Right away she got all clingy to me. I don't know how long i can put up with her. So annoying!

I've been waiting for Jessie to come home so I can tell her about Natalie, but she hasn't come home yet and it's late. She's probably at her friend Mary....Marsha.....MARILYN! At her friend Marilyn's house.

As my best friend she has to to support my choice to date Natalie. I wonder how she'll take it though. Everyone else isn't taking the news well. Frankie practically hates me, Kristy just doesn't want us together, Tessa is mad that i didn't ask HER out instead, David is disappointed in me because i killed Frankie's dreams, and Ana......Ana is 7 years-old so she thinks its gross and she thinks i have cooties now.

Yep.....i need to talk to Jessie. I have so much to tell her, in fact,.................i REALLY miss her!

I wonder if we won't be best friends anymore. For one, Natalie is in the picture now and she may get all possessive over me. Two, I think Jessie may stop being so close with me, to give Natalie and I more privacy. (Which i do not want!) And three, O just can't be the same with Natalie around. Ugh........Natalie. I really hope this works out in the end.
