Help Wanted

Chapter 1

Run, run, run! Was all that was pulsing through my head at that moment. They were coming, closer and closer every inch further away mattered. They were always fast but life taught me how to be faster.

My name is Scarlett Elizabeth MacIntosh and this is the story of how I met them, The Mafia of New York. Let's start from the beginning though, I was born to a beautiful mother and an alcoholic father who left when I was 7. I was traumatized not only because my father left but because of all the words he left to my mother and I. He called us ugly and fat. His broken beer bottles cut me not only physically but mentally also.

It's what gave me the nickname Scar. You know the saying "Stick's and stone's may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."? Well I don't think it's true at all, because if words didn't hurt why do I feel the pain. Why do I feel the empty numbness of the pain piercing my heart with all the hurt and sorrow. It's a lie, because every word I've heard knocks me down. It's the pain of carrying something heavy on your shoulders for so long each object added and each extra mile I go it just weighs more each time, then BAM! You just fall, unless someone offers a hand to carry some of the bag.

Someone did too. Not only my poor mother who works all day to keep our apartment in New York, but friends at the dreadful thing I call High School. I have Aurora Moon, Lola Depenhart, and Isabella Perrywinkle. Each of them are just beautiful, unlike me. I have sparrow black hair that reaches my hips, and tan skin. My green eyes seem pretty unnatural to most because their unexpected.

I've had boyfriends but it's never been very serious. I'm 17 and I'm waiting for that one guy to just appear one day. I think I'm in love with the idea of being in love because it sounds so safe and secure, especially because of my life.

Chapter 2

Now since you know my background and such let's begin our story with the first day of senior year. It was a beautiful day and Mom was knocking on the door to wake me I mumble "Thanks mom for the wake up call." She laughs "Good morning sunshine I made eggs, I have to go to work I'll see you around dinner. I love you and don't be late to school!" Since mom left I blast music while getting ready.

Lola honks her horn. She owns a car and has picked us all up ever since she got her license, thank god because the subway sucks! "Good morning you beautiful butterflies!" I say. Always trying to be positive because disappointing them would break my heart

"Can we go to the mall later? Lucas wants to hang out after school, he has hot friends." Isabella says in a voice that makes you want to say "Yes!" because who doesn't want to stare at attractive guys?

"Sure why not? I'm lonely and maybe they won't all be heartless jerks who want to suck faces then throw you to the curb." Lola says that stuff so seriously that I'm always last to laugh because I'm never sure if she's joking and I've known this her since pre-school!

Lola is gorgeous, she could get any guy with her big eyes and tiny waist. Allot of people say we look like sisters because she has dark hair, beige-caramel skin, with green eyes too. But she's skinnier then me, I'm not fat i just have more of a pear figure which I hate. "Come on Lola! I herd theirs a really hot new guy that's coming." Isabella says. Bella (Isabella) is the baby of our group, blond hair and blue eyed with a natural pout to her lip. It drove the guys crazy!

"You can't say no to that Lola. I mean look at that face." I pinch her cheeks and Lola finally gives up.

"Oh fine! But I don't want the new boy, you can have him Scar." She chuckles as we stop to get Aurora who lives in the richer part of New York. She jumps in the car saying "Hello! What's the plan's for today except school?" Aurora who we call Rory, is unique looking. She has the palest skin and violet-blue eyes. Her hair is choppy, it's a ombré style color, but it's natural "Hey Rory we're going to the mall and apparently I have dibs on the new boy."

I say in a mockful tone. "Oh cheer up Scar! He's hot and dangerous!" says Bella quoting that stupid Kesha song, which makes me laugh.

"Next stop is Hell!" Lola says mockfully.

"Look theirs Lucas!! Park next to his car Lola!" Lucas is Isabella's brother, and they're actually pretty good friends for twins. We all jump out and greet  Stonebridge High School.

Chapter 3

Bella would ride with Lucas in the morning, but he's a rugby player and has to be here an hour early. I don't know how he does it.                                                                                                                         Probably with all that muscle, he's a guy version of Bella basically. He's very good looking: blonde spiky hair, same blue eyes as Bella, heart lips, tall with great legs, symmetrical face, and the sharpest cheek bones. Since he's Bella's brother we couldn't really do much with him sadly.             Lucas was walking with his yummy friends. Hopefully those were the guys we are hanging out with! "Lucey-bear!" yelled Bella teasingly.                                                                                                                     She always called him some odd nickname that would've embarrassed me even. Lucas just smiled and swaggered over here, bringing his friends. I knew most of them. John, Benjamin, Ethan, Alex, Dominic, and a guy I've never seen before came over here.                                                                 They were all popular, which is slang for good looking. I'm not popular, just well known.                        "What's up baby-bell?" Lucas teased back.                                                                                                       "Carry me to class, I can't stand the pain of walking in here!" Isabella sounded like a dramatic movie star. In return we all laughed and talked about plans.                                                                                     "Is that the new guy, cause if that is... I want some!" Lola said loud enough that Rory could hear too. We cracked up because it's true. He was overly attractive, like a model. Blue eyes, tan, black curly hair. I couldn't contain myself, honestly. I've never wanted to kiss someone so bad! He was kind of staring right back at me. He was arlady killer, he had the half smile with dimples!                                    "So who's your friend?" Lola said it flirty, bating her eyelashes.                                                                     "I'm Collin James Valentini" He said still staring at me, his deep rich voice was mesmerizing. He had a slight accent.                                                                                                                                                 "It's an Italien accent if you're wondering, sweetheart" It's like he read my mind!
