Hay, hay, hay, hay! So I’m watching 1 Girl 5 Gays on MTV, and I was just wondering if it was on in any other countries (I live in Canada) I know its Toronto based here but I don’t know I was just wondering. So here it goes…
 
Chapter 1: Indie
 
I was lying on my back staring up at the ceiling. I probably looked amazing if you cut two little peek holes in the roof and stared down at me birds’ eye view style.
 
But my position was astronomically uncomfortable, my legs were bent and my feet were tucked to my left side but my torso was turned forward so it looked like I was in the middle of a highshool musical jump; but I was caught in surprise. My back felt like it would brake any second and my eyes were waterig over, from not blinking.
 
I was staring at the roof of my room; it was one of thoses ceilings with the little bumps all over them. I always imagined the 70’s fad ceilings as giant upside down and slanted (I live in the attic) mountians that little tiny backwards-thinking micorscopic beings would climb over and have lots of fun adventures!
 
But now as I was staring at them it looked like the tiny mountians were starting to move. Sure this may be because I haven’t blinked my eyes in a few minutes, but now it was so hauntingly cool, I couldn’t.
 
That is until my phone starts buzzing by my hand and I’m forced to look away from the wall and down at the blackberry.
 
“Hey Colby,” I greeted my friend.
“Hey, did you see the picture with Lark, and that guy in a car you know… doing it?” she asked in a whisper, pretending she had a virgin mouth. We both knew she didn’t.
“Yeah I sent it out,” I said as if I sent a letter to Santa.
“WHAT?!” she said as I got up and walked over to my window sill. “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ANYONE?!”
“I didn’t know it mattered,” I knew it did, I just didn’t want to be ‘the bitch’.
“Yes you did,” Damn, she knew me too well.
“Yeah well I got revenge for what she did to my brother Colby, so I don’t really care what happens now.” As long as she’s afraid to go to school tomorrow, I thought.
“Hey maybe Hunter will break up with her, and Josh will be all like ‘hey babe, I wasn’t serious about this, I just wanted to tell the mates about my great lay’,” I laughed as Colby giggled about her squeaky man voice.
“Maybe, Colbs, maybe,” I sighed.
“Okay well I’ll see you later Indie, kay?” she said sensing my inner thoughtfulness a.k.a. I wanted to be alone.
“Kay bye Colby,”
 
I hung up and dropped my arm, letting the phone slip out of my hand and onto the small rug.
 
***
 
        I had butterflies in my stomach the second I got out of my house.
 
I didn’t think that going to school would be a problem. It never even occurred to me. But now as I’m standing in front of the doors I don’t know if I can open them.
 
I look around and notice that there’s no one paying attention to me and I think maybe I can just walk away casually and walk to starbucks or something, but just as I was about to turn around I smashed my face into a hard and smooth blue wall. I looked up and saw a pair of sky blue eyes and blonde hair that fell in waves over his forehead.
 
Peeta? I thought. But no he just looked like Katniss’s lover from The Hunger Games. He was hot. Obviously.
 
“Oh sorry! Sorry, I had a moment of mental confusion!” I smiled blushing slightly.
“Yeah I saw you, you were turning around in circles!” he said, trying to be funny I think. So I laughed awkwardly.
“Ok Skylar let’s go,” said his friend, glaring at me.
 
But after Skylar opened the door for me and we walked in different directions ‘the friend’ gave me an apologetic look, and told Skylar. “Remember the fucking oath; I’m not doing it again if you break it.”
Skylar blushed and pushed his friend, “shut up Derrick,”
 
        I smile slightly as I turn around but when I look up I spot Lark; her hazel eyes boring into my green ones.
 
I turn on my heel and run back up to where Skylar and Derrick are.
 
“Heyyyy guys!” I say dragging on the “ey” part of hey, as I fall into step with them.
Skylar smiles at me and Derrick looks back at Larks red face and snickers.
“Trying to run away from the pretty little songbird?”
“Ah, yeah,” I say fastly and Skylar looks down questionally.
“Why?” I look up and decide how to word my response when Derrick goes, “What’d you do? Send that text of her fucking that guy,”
 
When I look at them with my most innocent look, Derrick’s eyes go wide and just as he’s about to say what we all know he’s going to say, I turn into the washroom.
 
Guess I’m not that good of an actress
 
Or an escape artist. Considering I’m in the boys washroom.
 
Derrick walks in smirking and Skylar walks in hiding a smile.
 
“Well, well, well, look who we have here.” Says Derrick acting all high and mighty, blocking the door way.
 
I look down and say “I’ll tell you everything if you let me leave.”
