ON HOLD. It's 2004 and 16 year old Lura has just moved to Lakewood and is going to Lakewood High School. She meets many friends and fake friends along the way but one friend named Shane Yaw sticks with her for years and years.
This story is going t...
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* ARG my alarm clock is the worst! It keeps going off at random times during the night! It's supposed to go off at 6:45 and only on weekdays but it's Saturday and just want off at 2:23 AM!! It's the most annoying thing ever! I open my eyes and slam my fist down on the clock that's when I see it... A women an a long white gown with long grey hair staring at me. She is standing at the foot of my bed. What the fuck is going on!? "Who are you? What's going on?" I ask her confused and she doesn't answer. I start to get up and leave my room to get Lizzie and she disappears. Now that's creepy. What was that? Probably just my imagination but it was scary so I go under my blankets and clench my eyes shut.
I guess I fall asleep because I wake up again at 7. That was surely just my imagination right? I was probably dreaming. Yeah that's it, I was dreaming. I get out of bed and get ready for the day. Once I get dressed and put my hair in a ponytail I go to the kitchen to get breakfast. "Hey Aunt Lizzie" I say once I get there "hey Lura, how'd ya sleep?" She asks "uh pretty well. My alarm clock went off in the middle of the night again and when I woke up I swear I saw a women at the foot of my bed but it was probably just my imagination." I say. "That's weird" Stephanie says sitting next to me "yeah I know" I say "anyway, what do you two girls want for breakfast?" Lizzie asks us "a bagel" I say "I want cereal" Stephanie says. "Come one steph. You could ask for anything and you said cereal?" I ask. "Yup" she says "you're so weird" I say and she nods. "I guess my taste buds are broke" she says. "They must be" I say. "Aunt Lizzie is it okay if I go hang out with some friends later?" I ask "sure and here's your bagel" she says handing it to me. "Thanks" I say and start eating.
Around 2 in the afternoon I call Shane on my Motorola flip phone. He gave me his number yesterday at lunch.
Phone conversation L: Lura S: Shane
L: hey Shane S:hey Lura L: what should I wear to the party? S: I really don't know. I think it's like a casual party where everyone will turn into a drunken mess because Britney's parents are going out of town and her brother is friends with a lot of people in collage so they can buy beer and all that stuff L: oh okay. Wanna come to my house a little before and hang out? I got my drivers license after school yesterday so I can drive us. S: sure that sounds fun. What time should I come over? L: well the party's at 7 so like 6? S: okay that works. I gotta go now my grandma wants me to help her cook L: okay. See you then S: bye L: bye
End conversation
Well I got 5 hours with nothing To do. (so I wrote this song and I guess it's for you. Sorry I had to reference the V-day video and the long distance love Phan song by Kathryn and Eden) im gonna go for a walk. "Hey aunt Lizzie?" I say walking into the living room "what's up Lura?" She asks "can I go for a walk to the park?" I asks "sure" she says and goes back to reading her book. I grab my keys to my car and the house off the table and head out the door. I walk to the park two blocks down from my house. Its really pretty there and has this tree I love to climb in and hang out.
When I get there I go straight to my tree and climb up it. It's really fun to people watch from up here. I stay there for about an hour then I head back. I get a text from aunt Lizzie
Will you pick up and pizza for a lunch on the way back?
I write back telling her yes and I walk to the Pizza Hut not far from the park. When I get there I buy the pizza with the cash I had in my pocket then start walking back to the house.
"Why didn't you just order it?" I ask confused when I get back "they won't deliver to our house because they say it's to close to the store and it wouldn't be worth the trip" Aunt Lizzie says. "That's why we don't usually get Pizza Hut" Steph says. "Oh. That sucks, Pizza Hut is my favorite" I say sitting down at the table to eat. When I get done eating and hanging out with Steph it's 5:30 so I go to my room and get ready. I put this on

A start to curl my hair when someone knocks on the door to our house. "I'll get it!" I yell coming out of my room and walking to the door. I open it and it's Shane like I expected "hey Shane" I say "hey Lura" he says "I was just finishing doing my hair in my room. We can talk in there if you want" I say "okay let's go" he says and we walk to my room. We go in and I sit In front of my mirror and start again while Shane sits on my bed. "So who all is going to be at the party?" I ask "a bunch of Britney's older brothers friends and us I guess. Oh by the way his name is Rick" he says "okay. It will be fun" I say. I finish my hair pretty quickly then Shane and I go to the living room and watch Friends.
"Do you want to head out now?" I ask Shane since its 6:50 "yup" he says I grab my keys and head towards the door "bye guys, I'll be back in a couple hours or so" I yell to Steph and Lizzie who are in the kitchen.
Once we get there you can tell which house is having a party. The house is huge and there are tons of people going in and out and loud music is coming from it. "This party is fucking insane!" Shane says once we get inside. "Yeah" I say a bit overwhelmed "hey guys!" Britney says calling us over to Her and the others. "We are all about to do some shots. Wanna join in?" Beth asks "sure. Why not" I say and we all take a shot of a strange white liquid. It burns like hell going down. "What was that?" I ask couching "vodka. Come on let's get crazy" Charlie says passing out more shots. We keep doing them over and over again until we have finished the bottle "now let's dance!" Britney yells "hell yeah!" I scream. I'm completely wasted.
We dance and dance for hours and hours until people finally start leaving. Most of them are just passed out in random places though. "You guys can crash here if you want" Britney says Greg writes that he's leaving on a note and walks out the door. "Bye Greg" we all say "okay. I'm just gonna text my aunt and tell her" I say "yeah I'm gonna tell my mom too" Shane says. I text aunt Lizzie saying that I'm staying the night at my friend Britney's house and I won't be back till morning. "So what do you want to do now?" Charlie asks "let's play truth or dare!" Beth suggest excitedly "fuck yeah! I'm in!" I yell. Everyone else agrees and we all sit down on the floor in a circle. Well all except Charlie, cause uh, you know the wheelchair. "Okay I'm going first!" Britney says "okay. Charlie, truth or dare?" She asks "dare" he says "okay I dare you to chug a beer in under 10 seconds" she says "okay get the beer" he says. She walks into the kitchen and comes back out with it "three, two, one, CHUG!" She screams. He chugs it in under ten seconds like he was supposed to. "okay. Beth, truth or dare?" He asks "truth" she says "do you like someone in this room. Including the unconscious ones" he says "nope" she says "my turn! Lura truth or dare?" She asks me "dare" I say excitedly. "Okay I dare you to go kiss Rick for five seconds" she says "ugh okay" I say I walk over to him and his other douchey friends that are hanging out on the couch and kiss him. "Five...four...three...two...one" Shane counts down "woo! Get some Rick! One of the douchey friends yells. Rick just rolls his eyes and goes back to his dumb conversation. After a while of playing we all get tired and go sleep in Britney's extra room with two beds and a pull out couch "There are only two beds so someone has to take the pull out couch" she says "not it" Charlie yells "not it!" I yell again quickly "ugh. You guys are the worst" Shane says. I lay down in one of the beds and quick fall asleep. I'm going to have a horrible hangover tomorrow.
Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in a while I've just been lazy and I might not post very often for a bit because school is starting back up and then basketball starts in October if I make the team. I'm very sorry for that but I will try to post as much as I can. Also I'm going to do about a chapter or more or not one for some years for every a year leading up to current day for this story. I know it sounds confusing but I got a plan so just trust me. Thanks for reading, bye.
