is hopefully less of a mystery now. You all understand what is up with Trent and Shannon, right? Otherwise I'll have to bluntly say it but that would butcher Trent and that is one thing I will not do! I love my characters. Bella is kind of with out a face right now. That is okay for TIME WILL TELL!
~*~*~
Laurel:
"I am really sorry, Laurel." Trent said. I'm glad I have my back to him because I don't want to see his face again. In fact, I'm going to give him the silent treatment starting right now.
"Your apology is not accepted!" I replied with a hint of bitterness in my voice. Damn, the silent treatment lasted long.
I heard him sigh loudly then ask, "Are you going at least look at me when you reject my apologies?"
"I am not going to look at you the rest of the summer! Now, if you don't mind me leaving.." I managed to exit the kitchen and enter the living room with my back to that ass Trent.
I sat down in one of the armchairs and glared bitterly at the carpet. Guys are both great and jerks. Jason was that way.
His persistence about sex was his jerk half. His manners were disgustingly great. Wait! When he was around his friends and I came up to him he acted like a pig! But, then again I acted different around my friends too. But not like him. I remember me walking up to him, kissing him on the cheek, and he and all his friends having these sheepish grins on their faces. God, what the hell did Jason tell his stupid friends?
Now, what the hell is up with Trent? I'd ask him but he'd probably break my arm or something. I hate him already! He should really get together with Sapphire! They both are nutcases! One of these days I'll suggest it to them so they get pissed off and everything gets awkward. Besides, what is a summer with strangers with out sexual tension?
Sapphire is really messed up! What the hell is with her negativity? I mean, I'm not Mary Sunshine but I'm not really that negative. I'm only negative when guys almost break my hand because I touch them. Trent is an asshole!
"Why are you sitting by yourself, beautiful?" Ryan's voice rang in my ears. I looked up and sure enough there he was.
"What do you want?" I asked.
He said, "I don't appreciate you slapping me but out of obligation I am here for you. How are you feeling?"
"Oh, I'm just dandy," I answered sarcastically.
"You want me to tackle Trent for you? I will if you show the love," He grinned like a child on Christmas.
I laughed despite myself and said, "How 'bout you tackle him and I sit and watch?"
He rubbed his chin and said, "I'm good with that as long as I get loving later!"
"Just tackle him already!" I smiled.
"Alright, alright. I will tackle him and then we'll make out!" Ryan turned away and left me to sit alone again.
Ryan is a nice, funny pervert. But, I am not ready to move on. I'm never going to move on. Not after Jason.
I remember him saying that we'd always be together. I remember our break up..
"Jason, I love you!" I had said stupidly.
He looked uncomfortable and was quieter than usual. He was avoiding looking at me as we sat in his car in front of my house. I always loved his car! '69 Cameros rock! Especially when they are red like his.
"Laurel." He began then stopped to think.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I reached over and squeezed his hand gently.
He pulled his hand out of mine and said, "Laurel, I can't see you anymore!"
I took a minute for this to sink in. It took me another minute for me to say, "What?"
"I don't like you anymore!" He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
I wasn't crying because I was so devastated to do anything but ask, "Why?"
"Listen, I'm leaving for college soon and I don't want to be tied down to a slut," He spoke slowly as though listing down whatever he could think of.
This pissed me off! Slut? Me? I still devastated but now I was angry so I yelled, "How can you call me a slut when I just lost my virginity to you a week ago? Besides, you have no room to talk Mr. 'Hot Hands'! You fucking asshole!"
He didn't even seemed hurt by my words. He just smiled and said, "See? I'm doing you a favor! Why would you want to date an asshole? I'm doing this for you!"
Okay! I heard enough of his crap and I was pissed! I pulled the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car. I glared at his bewildered expression as I ground one of the keys into the side of the car. I walked around the car scraping as hard as I could until I was standing in front of his door.
He, as I expected, hopped out of the car and screamed at me, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
I smiled evilly even though on the inside I was dead. I wasn't done quite yet. I still had the keys in my hands as I walked toward my house. I went and opened the wooden fence and entered my empty backyard. I shut the fence in the face of the following Jason and sighed.
I looked over to the neighbor's yard that was illuminated by the glowing pool. With out hesitation I through the keys in the pool right as Jason opened the fence.
"Have fun at college, Jason! Hope you get crabs, jerk!" I opened the sliding glass door and walked into my dark kitchen. I shut the door and pulled down the curtains.
As soon as I was out of his view I fell to the ground and wept. For hours I stayed there crying until mom came and found me.
The memory hurt me so much now. I sat in the living room alone still. Glad to be alone I let a few silent tears fall.
I am just going to move on! I'll find someone new! Screw Jason; I'm moving on! I have such an expansive selection here. It's all between a pervert, an asshole who hits girls or an optimistic blue mohawk wearing nice guy.
Whoever am I going to chose? This is such a thoughy!

Author's note (Again):
I know you're most likely liking Laurel less right now. I loved the break up! I wouldn't key a camero though. I'd steal the car though!
Do you guys detest Laurel and her attempts to make her pain go away? See, she is really lonely right now so she needs some companionship. "Finding someone new" doesn't mean having sex either! But as she said, "What is a summer with strangers without sexual tension?"
Oh and about the whole reason they all are there..TIME WILL TELL! In a coming chapter Damian Oz will come to the house to hook them up with food so they don't die. That is rocking simply because I am always right.
Man, you all are so different. Some people love Ryan while others think he is being too cocky. Most of you relate to Sapphire then some are against her negativity but love Trent (He's negative too!). Bella is really one- dimensional right now. Hopefully I will make her more alive in her next chapter. I think that Owen is rocking! He reminds me of my fire breathing snowman friend, Henry.
Now, time to praise the reviewers. You all make my day so much that I offer you this treasure. I am not worthy! Wayne's World! PARTY ON!
