Your life, my rules

Chapter 1

The Drama Target
By: Blaire

Introduction
    Ashley Whillston, Justin Calloway, Sabrina (Bri) Camelle, and Alex Houston have to go through a whole series of drama, hate, and avoiding being the target of gossip.

Chapter 1

    "Bullseye!" I smile as my arrow hit the center of the target. "No way. You cheated." My best friend Justin Beckson complains. I just laugh it off and go to grab my arrows. "Remember when I told you about the family trip to New Orleans?" I ask him while pulling my arrows out of the target.
    "Yah why?"He answers. "My family is letting me take someone and I was wondering if you want to go with me." I told him. A huge smile came across his face and I laughed. He didn't have to say yes, his smile showed at all. Justin and I have been best friends since kindergarten, and that was 11 years ago. We say our goodbyes and he walked home.
    I walk inside and look for my phone. I swear I left it on my bed. "Mom! Did you move my phone?" I ask her when she walks by my room. "Nope, last time I saw it, it was on your bed." She replies. I let out a small irritated sigh and sit on my bed. If I lose it one more time, I won't be able to get another one. That's when I start to panic. I asked my brother and my dad, but they never saw it either. "Ugh," I say as I flopped onto my bed. I tore my room to pieces looking for my phone.
    I sigh and start packing my bags. The trip isn't until next week but I have nothing better to do. I push the now filled suitcases into the closet and grab the home phone. I type in Justin's number and call him. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. I'm getting impatient. "Hello human interrupting my day," I hear from the other end. "Wanna come over and help me find my phone?" I ask him. He just laughs. " Come on Ash, I've known you long enough to know by 'help' you mean 'clean' and I don't like cleaning." He's got me there.
    We have a quick little conversation and end the call. The home phone rings and I'm hoping it's my other best friend Sabrina. " Hello?" I say into the phone. Nothing. Then I hear breathing. "Uh....who is this?" I ask. Still just breathing. I end the call and put the phone back. "Well,  that was weird," I mutter to myself. I shrug it off and keep looking for my own phone. "Aha! Finally," I cheer when I find my phone in my closet. Wait....closet? I look in my closet again and see my cat. She must've grabbed my phone and hid in there. I pick Mrs. Fluffles , my cat, and walk to the living room, setting her down on the couch and head to the kitchen.
    I grab an apple and keep walking until I'm outside. I sit on the bench in front of my house and eat. This has been the weirdest week in my entire life. That's when something hits me in the stomach and drenches me. I look up and see Justin with a bag of water balloons. He's on the ground laughing. I run and jump on him. We have a water fight that lasted about an hour.
    "OK!OK! I surrender!" I yelp. I clutch my stomach from laughing to hard. "It's about time," He replies. He comes over and picks me up, carrying me inside while I laugh my head off. He drops me on my bed and hops on beside me. He turns the T.V. on and we watch Lilo and Stitch. I know what you're thinking. Why would we watch that? Well Justin and I always watch it so don't judge. And to whomever is judging; bite me.
    We lay there watching T.V. for another hour. Justin turns towards me and smiles, giving me a hug. Every time he hugs me, I get this weird feeling. No you don't, stop, he's your best friend, You can't like him, I keep telling myself. Do I like him? Nah..... Ugh life is so confusing. "Good night Ash" The sound of his voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Night Justin," I replied as he walked outside. I walked ( more like crawled ) to my room and flopped down on my bed. I let out a small irritated groan and sit up.  
    I grab my phone and call Sabrina. " Hey Sabrina, can you go to the mall?" I ask. "Duh! I'll be there in ten minutes," she says and hangs up. I grab my keys and smile. My sixteenth birthday was last month and now I get to drive. Woohoo Freedom! It was a five minute drive to the mall. I walk in and Sabrina ( A.K.A. Bri ) is sitting in the food court, waiting for me. I sneak up behind her and tug at a strand of her hair gently. She squeals and jumps up from her seat. I sit down in the seat next to hers and laugh. She slaps my arm playfully, but she is laughing too. "Ok, so....you know Alex right?" she asks.
Alex is this one popular kid in my class, not to mention the "bad boy" type. He's even more annoying than Bri when she likes someone. " Ya he sits behind me in Chemistry," I reply with a bored tone and roll my eyes. " He asked me out and I said yes!" That got my attention. "You can't date him," I tell her. She gives me a pouted look. "Why not?" I roll my eyes at her question. I tend to roll my eyes alot. We both know he can never keep a date longer than a week. " Oh come on Bri. You and I both know this won't work out." I know what she's thinking.
She wants to change him, but I know it's not gonna happen. She goes on and on talking about how she sees his good side and that she can change him. I tune her out and stare at the table. When she's finally done talking my ear off, we get up head into Rue21. My eyes widen and I can't help but laugh when I see Justin and Alex (cue screams of terror) shopping. I tap Justin on the shoulder and take a picture with my phone. When he sees me, his eyes widen. "Whoa, ok Ash you can not tell anyone I shop here. I will lose serious street cred. Delete that picture." I roll my eyes and reply, "What street cred?" I grab my phone and start fake typing. " Ashley Macy Whillton you better not post that." I laugh and put my phone away.
Justin narrows his eyes at me, but then he laughs. Alex sits down on the store bench and laughs. Sabrina sits next to him. Too close. I narrow my eyes at Sabrina. I don't want her to get a hurt. I walk towards them and squeeze in between them. " Ok love birds, keep your distance," I say and Sabrina slaps my arm. I hear Alex chuckle and can't help but laugh. Justin laughs and runs his hand through his sandy blonde hair.
Oh did I mention he has blue eyes and sandy blonde hair? Well now I did. I, on the other hand, have long orange hair and blue eyes
. Bri has long blonde hair with brown eyes. Alex..is just bleh.
I don't care if bleh is a word or not, I just don't like Alex. Well, anyway...he has black hair with blue eyes. Apparently, according to Bri and everyone else, he's the hottest boy in school. But in my opinion, I think the hamster in my geometry class wins all. I don't understand how he's popular. It doesn't make sense. We spend the rest of the day at the mall. I have rolled my eyes many, many times today from Sabrina and Alex. If he hurts her I will go all tasmanian devil on that guy. I may be pretty small but I'm not a bad puncher. We all finish and head home.

Long chapter!! I'm a new writer so I hope u like it!Lol I just roasted so many peepz today at school
