Lost love

Chapter One

​ If Paul thinks giving me his 1984 Volkswagen as an early graduation gift is an honor I think I'll go grab the rope now. Yes Paul is my father for all terms and purposes. On the bright side high school graduation is tomorrow, time for a fresh start right? Or not. Paul's recent accident has caused a delay on the whole "it's our last summer adventure before we all part ways fun". A couple of weeks ago after numerous drinks at Connelly's old "famous" town bar here in Hicksville, Washington dear old daddy didn't see the pretty bright lights coming his way as he crossed the road. BAM! Hello back injury and broken leg. This now forcing me to work as a waitress at Randy's just off route 65. After all someones got to pay the bills. Great. Just how I wanted to spend my summer. Mom is always away with work being a flight attendant and all she's never around. It's just me and Paul mostly. He doesn't talk much, never really did. I guess in a way I'm okay with that. Not much of a talker myself, now I know where I get it from. I've always been the listener. Whenever Beth would cry about the new guy that broke her heart in the girls bathroom during physics, which let me just say, this happens A LOT. I was the shoulder she leaned on. I'm the nice girl, yep. Guilt. People walk all over my kindness, it's who I am, i don't really know how to say to whenever someone needs something. Beth always tells me I need to "change" toughen up a bit. She is nothing like me. She's the popular, outgoing, sexy blonde that everyone loves. She is my best friend in the whole wide world, but if you ask her what 2+2 equals she is one of those people who will answer fish. Me on the other hand, I bury myself in books. It's my one distraction from the world. Truthfully speaking, from everything. I don't get out much. Beth always mocks me because I am the only girl in our so called crew that is still a virgin. Woohoo big whoop. In our little clan You have Mary, queen slut, with a big heart. She once sucks a dude off behind the school's auditorium curtains while a play was going on! Which one you might ask? Almighty Hamlet! Crazy right? Talk about having balls. Literally. Well this just got weird. Moving on, there is Ingrid who lost her virginity to this guy Marc she met at a bar called fancy's using her fake ID. After senior tequila kicked in she found herself in a bathroom stall along with Marc. As she walked out first she gets busted by the bouncer for the fake and publicly kicked out. Do you see anything fancy about that? Hm I don't, maybe management should reconsider naming the bar old bikers have feelings too, okay maybe not. Talk about embarrassing. Last but not least we have Sarah. Sweet shy Sarah has been dating Sal since freshman year. They finally did the deed a few weeks back and now they can't seem to keep their paws off one another. Sal, I'm sorry to say but you're not packing much. We can all see your junk. Cover up once in a while will ya? Teenage boys and their hormones. Ready to get bored? Only freaky thing I ever did was play seven minutes in heaven and got stuck there with creepy Brian in the eighth grade, who I must say now that I recall smelled like cheap car air fresheners. We kissed for a little, he was the sloppiest French kisser I ever encountered so far. I think my pug rocky had better moves. He tried reaching for my golden treasure and so i did the same to him. With my knee. Oops, hope he put ice on that. Unlike the other girls I didn't have time for boys, or really anything.
