Man I loved that song as a kid XD Sam in the photo's HEARTLAND FOREVER!!!!! XD Oh in case anyone has forgotten PRIB's is Proud, Rich, Idiotic, Bitches XD oh and will everyone please hate on Danielle? The reason I called her that is because I had a really mean year five teacher called that and I mean REALLY mean. ANYWAY onwards with the story:

In the two months that followed, the lady -who's name was Danielle Bush- went to jail after Jackie and I went to the police with evidence against her abusing the children. Thank the lord they didn't ask about the Orphanage that was burned down by a candle *cough* that Jackie knocked over *cough* and just assumed that Denial did it. So she went down, the twins became officially Jackie's adoptive kids and they loved being so close to Bucky. They also adored their room, as soon as they saw it, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas. Sarah, Jerrica, Jake, Nathanial and Caleb were all adopted by a lovely family just down the road from us, Mr and Mrs Gregson, they were in their mid thirties but they didn't want the drama of having new born baby's on their farm so they never had kids. Mr and Mrs Gregson run their farm by their self because they have a bit of a cash flow problem, having the extra kids on board could defiantly help them out. Not in a child abuse way though, the Gregson's love the kids to bits but the extra hand could come in handy.

At school it was chaos when I came back, I was swarmed by people asking me all these questions about the Backers and I just about blew up but eventually it all died down, especially when school holidays started, everyone kind of just forgot about it and two weeks later back at school, I was back to being ignored. Devon spoke to me once, only once, and it was a simple, 'I'm sorry for all that you've been through recently.' and that's it. I desperately wanted to mend our friendship, if that's what you could even call it. But every time I tried to talk to him, I'd either chicken out or be interrupted by his new girlfriend Britney -Bitchny- stalking up and eating his face off. Apparently she broke it off with Sam, ditched him for the hotter bloke was what the rumour was. Not that I cared of course, I didn't really need him that much. Besides, I had my friends, I admit  that my friends were at least six years younger then me but the twins and all the other adoptive kids were actually a lot of fun, for the short lunch period time that I chatted with them. But hey, I wasn't' picky!


Oh who was I kidding, I mean sure the kids were great and all but I was still incredibly lonely. One thing that is surprising though, the PRIB's have actually been ignoring me lately. No snarky comments; no bashings; no threats and overall it's been pretty great. I silently hoped that Devon still cared and he had something to do with it but as crushing as it was, I knew it wasn't reality. Thank god school holidays were coming up, one more week, just one more week I chanted to myself walking out of school and towards the bus. Devon was still on the same bus as me on the way into school and on the way home, however he was always dropped off and picked up at the bus stop which I found suspicious but it clearly wasn't my place to ask.

Upon arriving home, I remembered that I was supposed to go over to Mrs Henley's house today to pick limes. It was actually a school thing, a couple of the local farmers were asked if they had any odd jobs that they needed a hand doing and I had a choice out of; the limes from Mrs Henley, collecting mango's from Mr Jenkins which I didn't do because he was Noah's dad. I took my chances with Mrs Henley, all of my Geography class had to pick one. I tried to work out who I would be working with to collect Mrs Henley's limes while I was getting ready to go. First off, who is in my Geography class? I thought to myself, well there's the smartest chick in our school -besides me of course- Mara, Noah is in my class too, then there's Nolan but everyone calls him Neville from his habit of getting in bad situations. Devon is there too along with his girlfriend Bitchney and Sam is there too but he skips a lot more now so I'm not sure if he picked to do anything today. I think that about sums it up, it's a pretty small class come to think of it, only six -well seven including me- people. Now time to work out who would pick what. Ok Mara, smartest chick in the school...I think I heard something about she wanting a bit of popularity and she's pretty enough to get it if only she had a leverage...like Noah, she'd pick collecting mango's for Mr Jenkins.  Noah would pick helping his dad, Nolan...Nolan would pick the safest option which might be the limes considering that Mr Jenkins was quite the intimidating figure.  Devon...well originally he would go with what I picked but this time it's no question that he'd pick the mango's too, same with his face eating girlfriend. Now Sam, Sam was tricky, he would originally go with his friends with the Mango's but  he'd know his ex girlfriend would be their and might not want to be around her so that leaves limes with me. Yay. Note the sarcasm.
