*Beep Beep Beep*

"Win...." I groaned as her stupid alarm clock went off.

*Beep Beep Beep*

"Winnie!"

"What?!" She yelled while curling her hair.

"Turn your stupid clock off. Why is it on if you're awake anyway?" I asked, falling out of bed.

She then got up and hit snooze. "To wake you up. We have a lot to do today."

Oh yeah, the barbecue. Man! We have to get paper plates, cups, food- and so come ye another trip to Wal-Mart! I didn't even  about getting ready, as soon as Winnie was done with her hair, we left. She was in a cute white skirt, baby blue flow tank top, white lace leggings, and blue flats. I however was still in my Smurf boxers and a T-shirt with some flip-flops. Who cares though?! We gotta get this shit done!

On the way a thought struck me. "Why you dressed so fancy anyway?" But she went mute and looked away. "Winnie..." She still didn't look at me but i could tell she was smiling and blushing. Wow I'm slow. "Its 'cause of Alester isn't it!"

"NO!" She pleaded immidiately. I just gave her a blank, 'you dumass' stare. "....Maybe! So?!"

"Awwwwwwwh! Y'all are so cute!!!" I said in a stupid voice. "Sound familiar?" She smiled and shook her head. She knew what i was talking about. That little turd. Goes off on me bout asking bout her and her lover, yet she acts the same damn way with me. Bipolar blondie.

AND NOW THE TWO TEENAGE GIRLS ARRIVE AT THE GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF WALLY WORLD!

We split the list. She got food products since she actually knew what to get, i got the basic supplies that no fool could mess up on. We double checked our lists and went our separate ways. My first stop was waaaaaaaaay over in the kitchen ware section to get plates, bowels, cups and plastic wear. No biggy. I just got whatever looked pretty to me and had a good price. Some rainbow plates, polka-dotted bowels, neon colored cups, and black plastic wear! Yeah!- and all on sale too!

Next on the list was a few table cloths so we didnt ruin the picknick tables at the park. But when I got to the isle I froze. Ren was there. I had no idea what to do..... what could I do? I wasn't ready to face him yet.... But now i had no choice, 'cause he's looking my way now.

"Hey.." He said shyly and gave a small wave. He's still so affected by this. More than I am. Maybe I should talk to him and try to help him. I needed to get over it and worry about him.

I then brought up the little amount of courage I had and walked over to him. "Hey Renny." I said cheerfully, but all he did was give a small smile, not looking at me. "You okay?" He then talked me with a hug. It scared me at first because I was not expecting it at all. But after the shock, I hugged him back.

"I'm sorry Sophie. I really am." His voice was comming back, but was still innocent and quiet. "I didn't mean to do that. I'm so so sorry. Please believe me, I would do anything to take it back..."

I didn't know what to say... "Its okay Ren. I know you didn't mean it. Its not your fault." He then pulled away and I saw tears in his eyes. God no please don't cry...

"No. Its not okay." He said, his voice a bit strained. "If i had listened to my brothers, I wouldn't be in this mess... and neither would you." He then looked down and I saw a bit of confusion on his face. "Whats up with your basket? It looks like a rainbow just took a major crap."

I smiled and laughed. The old Ren is coming back. "Its for the cook out tonight. You still comin'?"

"Totally! Wouldn't miss it." He then winked and started to walk off, just like the old Ren. "See ya later shorty!"
