By Far Some Of The Best Chuck Norris What-ever-you-want-to-call-them's I've Seen In A While...

Chuck Norris always knows the EXACT location of Carmen SanDiego.
(i thought that was brendon urie....)

Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
(i like this one lots)

Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
(if this is true then that means batman wears brendon urie pajamas!!)

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
(this is one thing you should never try at the museum of science boston if you dont want to be yelled at by security guards and/or almost maim/kill yourself or innocent bystanders)
 
Only Chuck Norris can prevent forest fires.
(whos this smokey the bear you speak of?)
 
anyone know (or want to make up) some more?

Fall Out Boy 11/6 Harpers Ferry Review

First I would like to thank Kiss 108 for being awesome, without them I sould have been sitting at home eating chocolate and watching sad movies instead of at this show.

I got to the Harper's Ferry (the venue) at about 4:00. I ate dinner impatiently (I think I scared the waiter) and got in line at 4:45 to get my tickets (I was on the list). I made some friends in line and then someone in a monkey suit came out carrying a boombox playing I Don't Care...I thought nothing of it, I mean we were in Boston. Then I heard some screaming and 3 seconds later Pete comes running by wearing the monkey suuit only he didn't have the head on.

About an hour later they started letting people in and a half and hour after that I got in. I told the guy my name, got my wristband and went inside. I walked around inside looking around, this place was so TINY!! Seriously it's the size of the inside of an airplane! I bought some merch and headed out to the floor.

The opening band, A Loss For Words, came out. They were good, a little "hardcore" for my taste but they were good. And they were local whic is double the awesome! After they were done the techs for FOB came out. They sound checked and after 20 minutes FOB came out.

They started with Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, because of where I was in the crowd (3 people back) and how small the venue was I could mostly hear the people around me screaming the lyrics and not Patrick but I was doing the same thing. Pete talked for a little bit and asked us to choose a song for them to play! They played the Patron Saint Of Liars and Fakes. That's one of my favorite from TTTYG . Joe threw 50 billion guitar picks into the crowd (all of which I failed to catch). Pete talked some more, this time about his wedding and Patricks toast to him. They were going to play Sugar We're Going Down, but then they played a part of American Boy by Estelle because SWGD is about "American Boys". Then Pete made Andy come out from behind the drums, he was only wearing a pair of grey boxer briefs.

They wouldn't play GINASFS because of California illegalizing gay marriage. They played Yule Shoot Your Eye Out (much to Pete's protest of "It's not close enough to Christmas yet!") They played I Don't Care with their snasty light-up guitars (sorry i didn't get any good pics of that) Much to my and the person sitting next to me's happiness they played Homesick At Spacecamp (my favorite song from TTTYG), needless to say I was very happy about that.

During this entire time the security kept yelling at us to back up because the first row was litterally leaning on the stage. Pete just kept yapping and asking what songs we wanted (not that I minded). They played Growing Up and then they played Saturday for their final song complete with Pete Wentz crowd surfing. They finished their set and left the stage. I milled around for a little while and talked to people then I headed out to my car.

I got home before 11pm!! New record for a concert! So basically the point of this was to tell everyone that if you can make it out to a small FOB club show in your area do it, because it's worth it!

Rockband Live Tour Review 10/29

The Rockband Live Tour in it's entirity was kind of annoying, but the (real) bands were amazing!

I started my concert day by leaving home at 3 o'clock right after school and getting to Lowell at about 4:15. I brought twister and played with a few people while we were waiting for Zach to come out to let us in for M&G. Some time after that Zach came out. He apologized for asking us to come so early, he didn't anticipate the cold weather. He went down the line with his list and made sure everyone in line was on the list and he gave the ones on the list shiny green M&G bracelets!    

Then he gave extra bracelets to family members and friends and we waited a little more because there was a radio station M&G before us. Zach led us inside and we went into a room where he gave us the "speech" about not being akward,
they can't sign anything on your body and absolutley no food! Aparently a few years back some girl gave Panic some cookies that she baked her own hair into!! Umm ewww!

The boys came out a few minutes later and I marveled at Ryan's skininess, Jon's flip-flops (30 degrees out people!!), Spencer's moustache (can you say child molester? I can!) and of course Brendon's adorableness! The line started moving, people handing Panic things to sign from CD booklets to My Little Ponies! I got up there and handed Spencer my petition and told him that I know I'm retarded and it's stupid but look at it anyway. 

He smiled and read it. He called it cool and handed it to Brendon telling him he has to read it because it's really cool. Brendon read it and said "Thats the real inconvient truth!" and Spencer joined the conversation again and said thats a real cause worth fighting for. Brendon smiled nicely and highfived me, handing the petition to Jon. He just smiled, signed it and handed it to Ryan. He was most definitley high. Finally Ryan got it. He chuckled, signed it, gave me a high five and handed it back to me. I got back in line for the picture and when I got up there brendon put his arm around my shoulders and I swear I almost melted. Zach snapped the picture and we headed out to the venue again where a local band Lennen Fall was playing, I didn't catch any of their set though.

We bought some merch adn food and went down to the floor. We waited for The Cab to come on and moved our way up to the large crowd on the front of the floor. They came out and played their set playing I'll Run and Bounce (the only two songs I know by them...I'm not a big fan...). After that some guy named Ridiculous came out and advertised Rockband. Then out came the Plain White T's. They started out with Natural Disaster and a few more new songs, then they played Hey There Delilah which everyone of course sang along to. After they were done Ridiculous came back on with 2 "Rockbands" who were actually ok. The first band played Thats What You Get by Paramore and the second band played a song I recognize but the name escapes me.

Next came Dashboard Confessional. I'm not a huge fan but I know a few songs. (btw the security guards had been throwing out water bottles so no one in the crowd passed out and we were all sharing. Mono anyone?) Dashboard played a some songs, one which I recognized and then they played a cover of a song I recognized (no name again but I believe it was the song about Boston that's on the radio some times...) and then they covered P!NK's song So What with The Cab (and maybe the Plain White T's?). They covered it well too.

After Dashboard Ridiculous came out yet again with 2 MORE Rockbands, I swear everyone in the crowd sighed at this. He threw out some t-shirts and CD's (neither of which I got) and the Rockbands played.

Finally after 7 hours of standing Panic came out. They played songs from both Pretty. Odd. and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Then they played the song from the Halloween video for the first time ever live! Finally they covered Shout and it was amazing. Sadly the boys left abruptly not heeding the crowds shouts of one more song. People began leaving because they realized that the boys weren't coming back out. I stayed near the barrier for a minute and it was good that I did. There was a security guard holding his hand out over the barrier and he was holding a pick. There were a bunch of screaming girls near him grabbing for it but he wouldn't let them have it, then I came over and just kinda took it from his hand and he let me have it with a smile. WEIRD! Zach threw out some drumsticks which I'm sure must have given someone a concussion and my friend and I limped out of the venue to the stairs where our ride was waiting.

So the moral of this little tale is if you can go to the Rockband Live Tour do it!! Just do it ok.

Oh - don't forget to check out my photos, too! The gallery is here: Rock Band Live Gallery

like a bad movie...


A/N: I am probably one of the biggest liars you will ever meet. I said I was gunna have this up weeks ago…that obviously didn’t happen. Blame my teachers! It’s their fault! They’re the ones who insist on me doing 5 worksheets, 40 math problems and then they make me write things in a different language! It’s cruel! Anyway so, yeah here it is and I will try to have another one up tomorrow, because I’ve got 7 more chapters written in my note book I just have to type them. So soon…hopefully…

 

 

After work Alex went to his house and I drove home. Olivia was sitting in front of the TV with Jack and Courtney. They had two large pizzas in front of them and were watching Napoleon Dynamite. I walked over and sat down next to Jack and Courtney. I grabbed a piece of pizza and go sucked into the humor of the movie.

            When the movie was over we all sat and talked.

“So Jack, how’s Michael?” I asked.

“Who’s Michael?” Courtney asked.

“He’s my boyfriend and good,” Jack answered.

“Oh! Olivia, where were you last night?” I asked.

“I was at Brendon’s.”

“Oh…had some fun last night, eh?”

She blushed before asking me a question.

“Sydney, Brendon wants to know if you and Alex want to double date with us tomorrow.”

“Sure sounds fun.”

The conversation continued like until jack and Courtney had to leave.

            Once they were gone I drifted to my room and took out my book and read a few pages before getting utterly bored and throwing it on the floor. I sighed and laid back. I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes, sunlight was pouring through my window and birds were chirping. I pulled my pillow out from under my head and put it over my face in an attempt to block out the sunlight. The birds on the other hand could not be silenced and seeing as they were being so freaking annoying this morning I was not able to fall back into unconsciousness.

“God damn birds,” I muttered to myself as I got out of bed.

            I walked to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I pulled cereal from the cabinet and poured a bowl.  I ate at the kitchen table in silence since Olivia was still sleeping. When I was done I cleaned up and went to my room and got dressed.

            When I came back out Olivia was searching through the fridge for food.

“There’s nothing in the fridge!” she complained.

“Well there’s stuff in the cabinets…”

“Oh…Okay!”

She took out a box of cereal and began eating it.

            When she was done eating she dragged me to the mall claiming to need more band shirts even though her collection could already fill a museum.

            When we got to the mall she made a bee-line for Hot Topic. I trudged along behind her still pissy from the morning. Once in Hot Topic, Olivia dragged me by the wrist around the store, pulling down anything she liked.

            We finally stopped for a minute because she couldn’t decide between two Fall Out Boy shirts. I was staring off into space when my phone rang. I jumped because it was so loud. I pulled it from my pocket and flipped it open.

“Hello?”

“Hi Syd. It’s Jack.”

“Hey Jack. What’s up?” I asked in a monotone voice.

“Not much, just wondering if you were at the mall.”

“Yeah, I am. Why?”

“Oh no reason just wondering. Well I gotta go. Bye!” he said and the line went dead.

I stared at my cell phone expecting it to implode or something. Nothing happened so I put it back in my pocket. I shrugged off my suspicions and went back to staring off into space.

            Olivia and I walked around a bit more before she bought what she wanted and we left. We were walking towards the food court when I felt something hit the back of my head. I reached back slowly, afraid of what might be there, and peeled the object off. I brought it in front of my face and almost threw up. I dropped it to the ground. Ew! Bologna. I spun around and saw a retreating figure.

“I’ll meet you at the food court in a few,” I said to Olivia.

            I started to follow the culprit, weaving through the shoppers crowding the mall. I began catching up to him bit by bit.  When I was close enough to see what he was wearing I tried to figure out who it was. He was wearing black on black which could have been an assortment of people. That narrowed down my list by a tiny fractional piece, so I continued following him. I finally managed to get within arms reach of him and grabbed his elbow.       He spun around and smiled evilly at me before slipping a cloth bag over my head…

 

A/N: Ooooooh, cliffy!

like a bad movie...


as is hopefully known this is actually by my friend brendonurierox4...hence the name on the banner...

A/N: The italics in this chapter are my dream.           

 

Alex of course wanted to see a horror movie, so for most of the movie my eyes were closed.  When we got back home Alex could see that I was still freaked out.

“Do you want me too stay with you tonight?” he asked outside the door to my apartment.

“No I’ll be fine by myself,” I lied.

“Are you sure?” he said unconvinced.

“Yeah, I promise.”

I stood on my tip-toes and kissed him.

“’Night,” I said.

“’Night,” He said.

He kissed me again and walked away.

            I walked in my apartment, noticed Olivia wasn’t home, walked to my room and fell asleep still in my clothes.

            I was sitting in a stone room on a chair. My hands were tied behind my back and I was gagged. I could see Alex on the other side of the room tied up the same way. I looked around the room trying to figure out where I was. There wasn’t much in the room. The only opening in the room was a rusty door on one wall.

            The door burst open and a burly man with a deformed face, knife and gun walked in. He walked over to Alex and kicked him. I tried to scream but no sound came out.

            The man grabbed Alex by his shirt and stabbed his arm with the knife, then proceeded to hack violently at his face. Alex let out a muffled scream. The tears started streaming down my face. Then the man put the gun up to Alex’s head and pulled the trigger…

            I sat up and bed and screamed. Tears were pouring down my face and I was covered in sweat. When I stopped screaming quiet sobs broke through my chest. I looked at the clock on my night stand. It was 3:30 am.

            I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Alex’s number. It rang a few times before a very tired sounding Alex answered.

“Hello.”

“A….Al….Alex,” I said between sobs.

Sydney? Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

I sobbed harder. I gasped for air and tried to speak but all that came out was more sobs.

Sydney, I’m coming over. I’ll be there in a minute,” he said and hung up.

            The phone dropped from my hand. I pulled my knees to my chest and took deep breaths to calm myself.

            When Alex arrived I had calmed down quite a bit, but I was still crying. He sat down next to me and pulled me onto his lap.

“It’s going to be okay,” he whispered to me.

I took a few shaky breaths and then looked up at him.

“What happened?”

“I…I had a dream,” I managed to get out. “And you…you…” I took another ragged breath before finishing. “You died.”

            I hid my face in Alex’s shoulder and cried some more. Alex held me and rocked back and forth, humming a soft melody.

            When my tear ducts were dry and took a deep breath and looked up at Alex. He smiled and kissed me.

“So I’m curious. Did this dream have anything to do with the movie we saw?”

“Um…well…yeah…”

“You know I wouldn’t have minded staying.”

“I know, but I didn’t want to wake you up in the middle of the night because I was scared,” I said sheepishly.

“Well that obviously didn’t work,” he pointed out jokingly.

“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. I want to be here to make you feel better.”
            I smiled and started playing with a piece of his hair. He grinned and started humming again. The tune was very pretty and I was sure I hadn’t heard it before.

“What song are you humming?” I asked.

He looked surprised.

“Oh…um…it’s just a song I wrote. Why?”

“I just thought it was very pretty.”

“Oh…thanks.”

“So you write music huh?”

“Yeah and I play guitar.”

“Really!? I play guitar too.”

“I know.”

“You’re such a little stalker!” I said playfully punching his shoulder.

“I’m sorry. Does that bother you?” Alex asked as he playfully pushed me back onto the bed.

“No,” I giggled as he straddled me. “It’s kind of…cute.”

He leaned down and nibbled on my ear.

“So I’m just “cute” to you?” He asked.

“No! Of course not! You’re kind and funny and sweet and handsome…”

“And cute.”

“Yes. You can be cute,” I said with a sigh.

“Okay…” he said and flipped over and pulled me on top of him.

“What was the point of that conversation?” I asked, resting my head on his chest.

“I don’t know,” he said playing with a piece of my hair. I laughed and closed my eyes.

            The next thing I heard was my alarm going off. I turned it off so it wouldn’t wake up Alex. I walked out of the room as quietly as I could and grabbed a red bull. I decided to steal some of Olivia’s clothes so I wouldn’t have to go in my room.

            I changed in the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth at the same time. I left Alex a note and drove to work. Vicky-T came up to me when I walked in.

“So I saw you and Alex yesterday. You guys still “just friends”?” She asked.

“Uh…well….um…eh….” I coughed.

“Ha! I knew it!” She started doing a happy dance.

“Uh-huh.” I said as I walked away.

            I wasn’t working the register today, I was replacing the stock and helping customers. Alex came in and walked to the counter where I usually worked. When he saw I wasn’t there he began looking around the store.

            He spotted me and came over. He hugged me and kissed me.

“Ow!” he said.

I pulled away and cocked an eyebrow at him. He was rubbing the back of his head and facing away from me.

“Young man! That is no way to behave in a public place! There are young children here!” a stocky old lady said. 

I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing at the look on Alex’s face. It was a cross between really scared and really confused. She hit him with her purse once more before turning to me.

“Excuse me miss. Do you work here?” She asked in a completely different tone than before.

“Yes. Can I help you with anything?”

“Yes. Um, my granddaughters 9th birthday is coming up and she absolutely loves Hannah Montana. So I was wondering if you could show me where the Hannah Montana CD’s are.”

I internally cringed. I plastered on a fake smile and nodded.

“Wait here.” I mouthed to Alex.

I led the woman to the children’s section where all the Disney CD’s were.

            She thanked me and I headed back to where Alex was. He was still rubbing the back of his head when I got back.

“Let me see you head,” I said.

He bent down and I lightly fingered his scalp. I felt a bump and noticed he winced when I touched it.

“Come on let’s get you some ice,” I said.

I took his hand and led him to the back of the store.

 

A/N: Sorry! It’s been a while! I’ve been lazy! Im sorry! But anyway I will hopefully have a couple more chapters up by tomorrow! Hope u enjoys and leave me lots of comments!

A Thin Line Between The Right And The Real...Guilt By Association1/1 (school paper)

 

          

Brendon sat down on the bench outside of school listening to his friends babble. They were all laughing at some joke Gabe made about one of the “larger” girls in school. Gabe bad mouthed everyone because he used to be made fun of for his height and inability to speak English because he’s Hispanic. Only the second week of school and my friends can already make jokes about people, Brendon thought. Though fall had almost hit, the weather remained like it had been in the middle of July. Hot and sticky like fresh caramel. Then again they did live in Las Vegas, right near the desert, so it was like this almost all year round.

“Hanna and Audrey are so totally anorexic!” Pete exclaimed rather randomly. Short and always glaring, Pete sadly possessed the appearance of an evil gnome.

All the boys but Brendon laughed and agreed with the comment and began making their own cruel jokes about their school mates. Other students started arriving and soon the bell rang to signal the school day had commenced. The group of friends made their way inside leisurely, trying to keep the final few minutes of freedom for a little longer. Then Brendon walked straight into someone.

“Oh…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to…I’m just trying to find my class…” stuttered the towering, slender boy Brendon had walked into.

“It’s fine; it was mostly my fault any way.” Brendon said chuckling and picking up the books the boy dropped when they had collided.

“Oh, my name is Ryan. I’m new here so could any of you show me where the Social Studies room is?” Ryan asked looking a little more comfortable with everything because of Brendon’s delightful personality.

“Why should we?” both Alex and Jack, the fraternal Barakat twins, retorted at the same time. They were both tall and had perpetual scowls on their faces because they constantly had something nasty to say.

“We-well…y-you don’t have to.” He replied losing his comfort and stuttering again.

“I have Social Studies, I’ll show you!” Brendon said smiling habitually, though inwardly reminding himself to kill his friends later.

“Thank you!” Ryan said looking comfortable again because he could now find his classroom.

            Brendon introduced himself and all his friends to Ryan, handed him the books he had dropped and headed off towards the Social Studies room. Brendon could hear his friends laughing at him and could feel Spencer’s patented icy blue death glare on his back but he ignored it.  The boys made it to class a little late but Mr. Beckett, one of most agreeable teachers in school, excused them because he realized Ryan had gotten lost and Brendon had helped him find his way. The boys sat down next to each other and listened to Mr. Beckett continue on about American geography.

            They left the classroom together getting to know each other better. The boys were equally warmhearted and they were also both brunette with brown eyes, but Ryan was exceedingly shyer than Brendon. Talking, Brendon and Ryan found that they were very similar and could be good friends. They went about their own business throughout the day until lunch. Brendon found Ryan and brought him to sit at his lunch table. Brendon’s friends acted no more accepting of Ryan at lunch, in fact they couldn’t have acted less accepting but they were too busy with today’s back to school gossip about the summer to worry about the new boy.

            In 6th period Calculus Ryan met another group of people. One of the boys, Jon, asked Ryan why he and Brendon sat together at lunch.

“Well, because we’re friends.” Ryan replied.

“Oh…but he’s evil!” Jon exclaimed looking at Ryan, confused.

“What?! Brendon isn’t evil!” Ryan said in his defense.

“But he hangs out with Pete, Gabe, Spencer, and Alex and Jack!” Jon said looking even more confused. He was obviously not very bright.

“Yeah…so?” Ryan asked, genuinely perplexed.

“Well they’re horrible and he hangs out with them. So therefore he must be horrible too!” Jon said back believing every word that came out of his mouth.

“Do you really believe that?” Ryan asked.

“Yeah, of course, I mean it makes sense.” Jon replied happily.

“Oh ok…”

            Ryan continues being friends with Brendon despite this, but he finds out that most of the people at Palo Verde High aren’t smart or accepting enough to see past Brendon’s friends to his true, likable personality and because of this no one else wants Brendon or Ryan as a friend.

The moral of the story is: a man is judged by the company he keeps.

 

a/n: this is a school paper that had to be based off a moral. i need a title! please leave your concrit and title ideas in your comments!!! thankies!

Jinxed things ringing as they leak through tiny cracks in the boardwalk (formely known as the bookstore)

      

banna made by my friend sydney aka brendonurierox4
 a/n: all the things in parenthises that say sydney are my friends thoughts on my writing. cant you tell she loves me!

 They really were very pretty and very bright too. We had ended up at the park. A big one with everything a park should have. Even a playground! There was a lake and benches and a big field, trails and of course the playground! It was perfect and it was empty. I couldn’t see why though, even the lack of lights was made up for by the stars and the moon.

I smiled.
“Wow Brendon, it’s… well its amazing!”
“Yeah, I always used to go here when I was little. It brings back good memories and I thought I’d share it with you…”
“Aww thanks! Really thank you; it’s probably the best place for a date ever, especially at night when it’s all serene and empty like this…”
“Yeah…hey last one to the swings is a rotten egg! he yelled already off at a full run.
“Hey no fair, you got a head start!” I yelled as I took off running too.
            All I could here was our heavy breathing, laughter and footfalls. He was a faster runner than me anyway, but with his longer legs I had no chance, though I still tried hoping for some kind of miracle. It didn’t happen so I lost.
            He jumped on a swing standing and balancing on one leg.
“You’ll get hurt.” I warned as I sat down on the swing next to him.
“No I won’t!” he protested, but he still slid himself down to a sitting position.
            We laughed and we tr ied to see if we could out do the other in the height of our swinging. We got really high, almost perpendicular to the ground below. (Sydney: really high eh, doing some crack?) We couldn’t make it much higher than this on a swing, but I still had the childhood fear of flipping over the bar at the top so I instinctively reached for Brendon. He noticed and gave me his hand to hold. We continued to swing like this until I was sure all feeling in my legs had been lost and walking would be a burden for the next few minutes.
            We stumbled around (Sydney: ha! I knew you were high!)Heavily affected by the new push of gravity and I fell into the sandbox. Brendon laughed at me, but sat down too, happy to be off his wobbly legs. There were toys and digging tools scattered throughout the sand, left by the days playing children. Brendon grabbed one of the large yellow Tonka dump trucks and filled it with sand, “driving” it over and dumping the sand on my leg.
“Hey!”
“What, sand isn’t going to hurt you!”
“No…so I guess this is ok too!” I said as I dumped full buckets of sand on his legs.
He laughed and we continued burying each others legs until we looked like floating torsos. We were giggling messes by now, which meant, even though it was only 9, overtiredness was setting in. I got up and brushed myself off and Brendon followed suit.
“Hey can we go out on the lake?”
“Depends if there’s a boat that works…”
“Ok…well lets go and check silly!” I said starting to run in the direction of the lake.
            I had a 10 second head start but Brendon and his long legs caught up almost instantly. We made it to the lake in less than a minute and looked around for a boat. We found on tied to a dock and it seemed to be fine and even had some paddles inside. Brendon picked up one of the paddles and climbed in, testing the boat. He moved around and sat down, giving me thumbs up and gesturing for me to get in. I stepped in warily, afraid my weight would somehow send us to the bottom of the lake. When I sat down and picked up my paddled I realized that the boat wouldn’t sink for my mere being in it. Brendon untied the boat and we were off.
            We circled the lake first testing the boats floating ability and when we were sure of it we went to the middle for the all around. The reflection of the moon and stars on the lake was more beautiful than diamonds scattered in black glass. (Sydney: oh so poetic!) Even all the colorful plastic of the playground looked beautiful in the light of the night sky.
“This is perfect Brendon…really…” (Sydney: I really truly mean it, im not lying, really!)
“It is beautiful…but so is something else…” he said raising his eye brows indicating he was complimenting me.
            I blushed looking down, letting my hair become a curtain, covering my face from prying eyes, though tonight there weren’t any. Brendon reached over and pushed the hair off my face. I looked up at him and he placed his hand on the side of my face, shifting himself closer to me. He brought our faces close and placed his lips on mine and I almost gasped. My first kiss, so perfect, it was almost cliché. (Sydney: like the rest of this wasn’t?) He pulled away, far enough so we could see each others eyes, my blue greens for his chocolate browns. Neither of us moved for sometime, afraid to ruin the moment.
“Wow…” for the second time he had left me unable to form sentences, this time for a good reason. (Sydney: what before when u were dazzled by the beauty it wasn’t a good reason?)
“Yeah, wow…” apparently he couldn’t either.
            We smiled stupidly for another second before we began talking again.
“Imagine just hours ago this was a place for kids to let off steam, now it’s our place alone.” I said dreamily. (Sydney: still high eh?)
“Yeah…kids are fun, they don’t have a care in the world and are great at looking innocent…but this moment is better than the cutest kids ever…” he said smiling, I knew he liked kids a lot so he was saying it was almost the  most amazing thing ever.
            He sighed happily, looked his watch and almost dropped the paddle. I looked at mine and saw why. It was 5 minutes until midnight. Last I checked it was 9. We had been on the lake for almost 3 hours!
“Come on let’s go back in….” he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
“Well we can take a walk when we get back, there were some trails and it’s Saturday! There’s nothing going on tomorrow!” (Sydney: except for my friend selling unidentified objects on eBay!)
“Ok…” he said as we began to paddle back to the dock.
            We had a little trouble finding it again, but we managed and tied the boat back up. We walked around and aimlessly looking for a trail to walk. It took us 10 minutes but we did eventually find it. I looked at the map and smiled. The trail took us over some bridges and it didn’t look too confusing to navigate so we decided to go for it.
            We walked, intertwined hands swinging like those of a pair of 10 year olds. (Sydney: What! I thought you were 10 year olds!) We talked about everything and got to know each other a lot better. (Sydney: and I realized that I really didn’t like him that much so I pushed him into the woods and ran away and never saw him again. The end!)
“Chocolate or vanilla?” he asked smiling.
“Chocolate…” I said thinking of his eyes. (Sydney: no your wrong. It’s cookies and cream!)
“Summer of Winter?”
“Fall.”
“That’s not a choice!”
“So what? I like that season the best!”
“Yeah so do I, but it wasn’t a choice!” I said laughing because we were acting like little kids again.
“Spiderman or Batman?” He questioned.
“Spiderman all the way!”
“Haha, Spiderman is pretty awesome…”
            We got to one of the bridges. It was small but covered a good place to wait out a storm though we wouldn’t need it for that tonight. (Sydney: we would need it for hot sex!)
            Brendon ran ahead to check it out. He was making sure it was safe for me.
“My hero,” I said in a purposely over dramatic voice, “protecting me for the dangers of broken bridges and such!”
He laughed and ran back to me, hugging me tightly. He left me go but left an arm around my waist. I placed an arm around his shoulders and we walked across the bridge.
            When we had made it over he kissed my cheek and I giggled like a young girl.
            He laughed lightly at my reaction.
“You’re so cute!” he said hugging me.
“We are such little kids Brendon!”
“Yeah, but it’s more fun this way!”
“Yeah it is!”
            We continues walking, the dark not bothersome because I had Brendon with me. Vash ta Nerada couldn’t hurt me either, I wasn’t in the library. I must have been making a funny face while I was thinking because Brendon was l ooking at me a little confused.
“What?” I asked.
“You were making a funny face…” (Sydney: no u were having an orgasm)
“Yeah that would be called my thinking face Brendon, it happens when I’m, well you can guess, thinking!”
“So you make that face whenever you’re thinking?”
“Yeah pretty much…”
“Fun…” he said sarcastically.
“Haha.” I said dryly.
            It was almost silent, only regular night sound around us. Brendon was humming happily and unfamiliar tune to my ears. Then I heard rustling in the bushed next to me and stopped.
“Brendon…” I said pointing to the bushes.
            He went to go check it out. When there out hopped a…
a/n: cliff hanger! yay! dont kill meh!

Jinxed Things Ringing as they Leak Through Cracks in the Boardwalk. (formely known as the bookstore...chapter 8)

 
 I opened my eyes and smiled. It was Saturday. The day of my date with Brendon. I got up and went to the kitchen only to stop short at the kitchen table. Jill and Billvy were sleeping on it. Oh so classy those two are!
     I continued on to the kitchen and banged around some pots and pans, slammed some cabinets and the oven door. I made as much noise as possible and, just as I was trying to, woke up Jill and Billvy. I heard them run down the hall to Jill's room to go back to sleep there. I peeked out to see the kitchen table covered with disgusting god knows what on it...I grabbed a jar of peanut butter and a spoon and headed to the living room couch to watch some good old Saturday morning cartoons. I felt good watching the familiarity and unbarred violence of it all. I took a giant spoonful of peanut butter and flipped the spoon over onto my tongue. Yum! Peanut butter!
     Sydney walked out almost in a daze, went to the kitchen, came out with a spoon and sat down next to me. She stuck her spoon into the peanut butter and watched cartoons with me.
"Hey isn't today your date with Brendon?"
"Yeah...what's should I wear?"
"Depends on what your doing..."
"I actually don't know what we're doing....I should find out!" I said as I picked up my cell to call Brendon. It rang 2 times before he picked up.
"Hey Olivia! What's up?"
"Nothing much...I was just wondering what we're doing tonight..."
"It's a secret!"
"Well how should I dress? Casual, dressy, in between?"
"In between...ish..."
"Ok...."
"Just nothing too fancy ok."
"Ok, see you tonight!"
"Yep! Bye!"
"Bye bye!"
    I hung up and smiled. It was only noon so I still had a good 8 hours before the date, but I was already excited. And whenever I was excited I squeal and jump up and down a lot, so that's exactly what I did.
    Jill poked her head out of her bedroom looking hung over though probably just sexed out.
"Can you shut your mouth and stop jumping! Some of us are trying to sleep!"
"Jill, it's noon, some of us are already hyper!"
"Ugh, fine, just be a little quieter ok."
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
"Uhuh, I'm going back to sleep..."
"Yep, sweet dreams! for Billvy too!"
"Mmhmm..." she said as she closed her door.
 
"Someone has a stick up her butt today..." I said to Sydney once Jill was gone.
"A butt fairy is more like it..."
"Shhhh...It's a conspiracy theory!"
    I laughed at our inside jokes and sat back down next to her, sticking my spoon back in the peanut butter.
    By 1:30 Billvy and Jill were up, though still dazed looking and tired. Jill wore just a really big t-shirt, Billvy wore nothing more than a pair of plaid boxers but both seemed to tired to care. None of us really cared on Saturday, it was pretty much fair game for everything.
    Jill came out of the kitchen with a full box of Lucky Charms, William had a full box of Coco Puffs.
"Hey Jill, I think you guys left a little something on the table from last night..."
"We've been caught...Come on William time to go lay claim to the evidence."
"Hmmm...ok..."
    They cleaned up the table and came back to the couch, sitting down making it a tight squeeze but we made do. By 2:30 we were all bored of cartoons and went to do our own business around the apartment. I went to my room, picked up my notebook, and started writing. I wrote everything that came to my head, no rhyme or reason in my notebook, just words and symbols that meant nothing at all. I lost myself in my writing and by the time I looked up at my clock it was 6:30. I had filled 35 pages of my notebook with random, meaningless crap that I would look through later and not understand at all. I released an audible sigh as I leafed through the pages of my notebook, seeing everything I had expected but nothing with any meaning. Oh well it did make the time go bye much faster...
    I went to the kitchen, grabbed some water and walked back to my room to sift through my clothes to decide what to wear. Oh wait new outfit duh! Black skinnies, purple shirt, red converse, and a stud belt! Yum!
     I played with my hair trying to get it to look ok and I did get it to look at least a little normal. My curly hair can be so annoying sometimes...
    7:00 now, still a whole hour, sometimes I hate being so good at not being late. I busied myself with re-reading my writing from today.
Scribble, heart, Brendon, hmm that looks like a car crash, tree, low, managing, see the clouds, time to fly, just past 8, cobra, panic, converse, academy, fall, red...I don't understand it at all...
    I got bored and walked around, well more paced than walked, the apartment. Sydney was staring about into space in her room. Strings of obscenities, names and moans were coming from Jill's room. I think by now William lives here, he does come everyday...
    The door bell rang.
"One second!" I yelled checking myself in the mirror, seeing Sydney stick her head out of her room, smiling. I went to the door and opened it to reveal Brendon.
"Well don't you look nice tonight! I thought I said nothing fancy." he said smirking.
"Yeah this outfit is so fancy....let's just go to as Hollywood movie premier right now!"
"Yeah we should do that sometime...so are we going to go now?"
"yeah, right now, before the two sex addicts want food..."
"Hmmm...?"
"Oh one of my roommates Jill and her boyfriend William, I swear they only stop to eat..."
"I'm sorry you have to live with them...."
"Eh, it's fine because I'm not easily offended..."
    He took my hand and led me out to the parking lot and his car. I smiled and jokingly  called out, "I call shot gun!".
"Ok, you can have it, just don't hurt me!" Brendon said in faux fear.
I punched him lightly and climbed in.
    He turned on the car and the radio and we were off. A Fall Out Boy song came on the radio and I started singing. Brendon followed my lead. with a surprisingly good voice. He was so good I almost stopped singing out of pure awe. The song finished and I just stared at Brendon.
"What?" he asked.
"Your voice...wow..."
"Hehe, yeah....Oh we're going to park here and walk to the place we're going ok..."
"Yep, I mean I am wearing my walking shoes!"
"It's not that far, maybe 2 blocks...but that's it."
"Ok, lets go!" I said grabbing his hand and letting him lead me again.
    After about 3 minutes of idle chatter and walking Brendon stopped so I did too.
"Oh wow the stars...so pretty..."
"Yeah..."
 
A/N: so here it is...pretty boring I know but next chap will be better I promise!

The Bookstore (chapter...umm 7 i think...)

Oh right...no food...I had a party last night...
I decided to go out and get some lunch. The Subway $5 foot long was stuck in my head, so I went there. I got my food and sat down to eat. After I finished Kyle walked in . I got up to yell at him about his antics with Travis at my house.
"Kyle!"
"O hey Olivia!"
"Never ever do what you did in my house ever again! Jill found your Pokemon underwear and got really mad at me! I almost got killed!" I said in a whisper yell.
"Whoa really....sorry about that! Can I have those back though, they were my favorite undies!"
"You have favorite underwear? Fine you can have them back, but make sure that next time you and your boyfriend feel horny at my house you take it outside ok!"
"Yep!"
"Ok I'm done yelling now...how's Travis?"
"Sore...actually I am too..."
"Ok that was way too much info!"
"I know I was just trying to see how far I could push it..apparently not that far..."
"Yep! Well I should probably get going now...so bye bye!"
"Ok bye ! Tell Jill I'm sorry!!"
    I went back to the table I had been sitting at, picked up my trash, threw it out and walked out. I decided to go to the Barnes & Noble at the mall where Brendon works.
    As I walked from one side of the mall to the other to get to Barnes & Noble I saw little kids playing, adults chatting, Ryan and Sydney making out on a bench...wait what? I back tracked and hid behind one of those fake plants they have at the mall to do some old fashioned spy work.
    It was definitely Ryan and Sydney. And there was no mistaking the fact that they were making out.
Whoa plot twist...I wonder how breaking up with Gabe went?
    I let them continue their make out session in peace and continued on my way to the store. I got there and smiled at the emptiness of the store. It was a wonder this place was still open.
    I needed some new music to listen to, so I went to the (yeah you guessed it) music area. I was browsing when someone grabbed me from behind in a hug. I screamed and almost fell over. I was in a bookstore with strangers, for all I knew it could have been a cd eating vicious hobo.
"Hey calm down, its only me..." the culprit said from behind me in a calming voice.
"Oh Brendon, you scared the crap out of me..."
"Yeah you screamed pretty loud..."
"Well duh! I thought you were going to eat me or something..."
    He seemed incredibly happy today (not that he wasn't always happy anyway...)
"So tomorrow eh?" I asked smirking as he released me from his grip.
"Yep..."
"Sooo....I saw Tisha a couple days ago...she didn't seem to know that you guys weren't going out anymore...care to explain?"
"Yeah...she's really slow...I told her a week ago that it was over and she still hasn't quite gotten it..."
"Yeah...she thinks she's my best friend, and we barely talk...she is pretty slow I guess..."
"Yeah.."
"So how's life and work?" I said gesturing to the store around me.
"Good and slow like always. You?"
"The same I guess...so can you ring me up?" I asked picking up the cd i had chosen.
"Course I can!"
    We walked to the front of the store where the cash registers are and he took my cd to ring it up.
"Mayday Parade? Nice!"
"Yeah they are awesome...cant get enough of the song Jamie All Over!"
"Me neither...well here you go, that'll be $10.99."
    I handed him the money, he handed my cd and I turned to leave.
"Bye, see you tomorrow!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow too!"
Wow I can think of something better than see you tomorrow too...
    I walked out with my purchase and made my way back to the parking lot. I passed more kids playing, adults watching them, and Sydney sitting alone on a bench. Here was my chance to ask her about Gabe.
"Hey Syd!" I said as I slid onto the bench next to her.
"Oh hey Olivia! I see you've been at Barnes & Nobel...Brendon working today?"
"Yep...I was being a spy about a half an hour ago and I saw you and Ryan having a full blown make out session on this bench...Spill now!!"
"Well I broke up with Gabe earlier today..."
"And you're already with Ryan?!" I said, interrupting her.
"Let me finish...so as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted Gabe took the break up surprisingly well and we're still friends, honestly he took it so well I'm a little afraid he'll snap and try to kill me!"
"Yeah Gabe, a murderer! As if! So how did you get with Ryan so quick?"
"Well like you I went to Barnes & Noble to look for new stuff to entertain myself with and Ryan was there hanging out with Brendon. I went up to him and asked him out and he said yes and one thing led to another and we ended up here...and then he had to go home so he did and I stayed here..."
"Oh ok...I'm going home now, you wanna come along?"
"Nah, I have my own car...I'll catch up later!"
"Ok  bye then!"
    I walked out of the mall to get to my car for the billionth time today. It was getting dark which meant it was getting late too...around 8:30 maybe. I drove home with no problems and walked in to find yet another awkward moment with Jill and Billvy waiting for me. This time it was the kitchen table and this time I just acted like they weren't there. I walked past them to the fridge, pulled out a coke and walked to my room to go play my guitar. I smiled when Billvy's eyes followed me for a second, wondering whether I was going to yell at them or not. When I didn't he turned all his attention back to Jill.
Well Sydney is going to get a big shock when she comes home.
    After just 5 minutes I heard a door open, a loud scream and the sound of someone falling to the floor.
Sydney's home!!
    I walked out to see exactly what had happened and found Sydney crouched on the floor covering her eyes and Billvy and Jill just staring at her. I smiled, grabbed her arm and literally dragged her down the hallway to her room. I sat her down and jokingly treated her like a little kid.
"Sydney, what you just saw was sex! It's totally natural!"
"I know what I just saw! It's just that they did it on our kitchen table! I'm never eating there again!"
"I'm sure they'll wash it! But just incase we can eat in the living room for a week ok!"
"Ok I guess..."
" 'Night!" I said as I walked out of her room.
"Yeah goodnight..." she said slightly distracted.
    i walked back to my room, put my guitar away, slipped on my red skullcandys, turned on some good music and fell asleep after just 1 song. 
 
A/N: the next chapter is done but not typed so yeah...comments fuel the fire!
also any ideas for a new title would be much appreciated! im not promising that i will use it but i will love you forever!

Like A Bad Movie (chapter 7)

            I woke up to a loud commotion coming from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to see Olivia trying to cook something. I groaned and walked over the stove. Just as I got there the pan burst into flames. I grabbed the flour from the cabinet, poured it over the flames and turned off the stove in one fluid motion.

            I looked in the pan to see what she had set on fire. I rolled my eyes. Water! She set water on fire! I dumped the pan into the trashcan and took out the fruit loops. I poured myself a bowl and went to watch the new. I watched the daily news about suicide bombings, plane crashes, child abuse and drug overdose before changing the channel to SpongeBob.

            Olivia joined me and we sang the Campfire song song. After that she had to go off to do something (most likely with Brendon) and I had to get to work.

            I drove to work and punched in. I turned on the computer and opened up the internet. We weren’t really supposed to use the computer for the internet but we did anyway. I was reading my email when someone slid a CD at me.

“Hi Sydney, I wanna buy this,” Brendon said.

“Oh hi Brendon. Ahh the new Maine CD. Good choice. Hey I thought you were with Olivia today.”
“Uh no she said something about how there was no food in your house and she needed to go shopping or something.”

“Oh okay…well your total is $15.95.”

He handed me the money and I handed him his CD.

“See you around!”

“Yup.”

He walked out of the store and I went back to checking my email.

            About 20 minutes later I heard one of my co-workers giggling. I looked up and saw Alex walking into the store. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

“Hey Sydney,” He said.

“Hey Alex.”

“So…I was wondering if you wanted to hang out at my place tonight?” he said.

“Oh sure. I’d love too!”

“Okay so you want to come over around like 8?”

“Yeah, sounds good!”

“Okay I’ll see you then.”
“Yep!”

He smiled at me one more time before turning and leaving the store. I sighed and turned back to the computer screen. My co-worker Vicky-T came up to me.

“So... you and Alex huh?” she said.

“What! No…we’re just friends.”

“Haha. Sure. Dude you should have seen how much you were flirting with him.”

“I was not flirting with him.”

“Yeah, okay…whatever…” she said and walked away.

“I really wasn’t flirting with him!” I called after her.

“Mhm…okay…”

I sighed and turned to the customer that had just come up to the counter.

            I finished work early at t. I drove home and made myself some dinner. When I finished eating I took a shower. I let the hot water completely relax me before I got out. Once I dried myself off I wrapped myself in a towel and began to blow dry my hair. When I finished that I walked to my room to get dressed. I put on some black skinnies and a Glamour Kills t-shirt. I checked in the mirror and tried to do something with my hair. Nothing worked so I left it down.

            I wrote a quick note to Olivia telling her where I’d be before leaving for Alex’s. I pulled out of the parking lot and pulled onto the main street in our town.

            I realized that it was only 7:30 so I decided to park on the side of the road and list to the radio. Twenty minutes later I drove to Alex’s. I got out and rang the door bell. He opened the door and let me in. I noticed his house was surprisingly clean for a 20 year old single male. He led me to his living room.

“So…what do you want to do?” he asked me.

“I don’t know. What can we do?”

“Um…well we could play football or we could watch TV,” he said.

I wasn’t in the mood to watch TV so we went outside to play football.

It was pretty much the same thing over and over. I got the ball, ran for a touchdown and got tackled. He got he ball, I completely missed him, fell on my face, and he got a touchdown.

            After he got 74 touchdowns he let me get one and then we stopped. We laid down in the middle of his backyard and watched the stars. He reached for my hand and intertwined our fingers.

“Hey look over there,” he said pointing with the hand that wasn’t holding mine. “It’s a shooting star, make a wish.”

I closed my eyes and wished for the night to never end.

“So what did you wish for he asked?” he asked.

“I can’t tell you or else it won’t some true.”

“Well I wished that you would kiss me,” he said propping himself up on his elbow.

“Well now your wish isn’t gunna come true because you told me,” I said mimicking his movements.

“What!” he whined.

I smiled at him before leaning to press my lips to his. It took him a second to realize what was going on, but when he did he got right into it. He reached over and pulled me on top of him and licked my lower lip begging for entrance. I giggled and he slipped his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues wrestled for a few moments before we stopped to breathe. We stared at each other and took deep breaths. I smiled at him. Then I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest.

“So does this mean you my girlfriend?” he asked.

“I don’t know you… you haven’t asked me yet…”

“Okay…Sydney will you be my girlfriend?”

“Of course Alex. I would love too!”

“Then it’s official. Let’s go in and celebrate.”

            We stood up and he wrapped his arm around my waist. We walked in and he grabbed two red bulls from the refrigerator. He opened them and handed me one.

“Cheers!” he said.

“Cheers.”

            After that had sat down on the couch and I curled up next to him, with his arm wrapped around me. I yawned despite the red bull I had just had. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Ther Bookstore (gosh i should really change that name soon...chapter 6)

 
We had food in the house for once (probably Billvy’s doing, he had been living here for the past couple of days and he was a good food shopper.). I just took out everything we had and threw it on the counter.
            5 minutes later…
Kyle Burns showed up, an hour early, like always and with a new boy on his arm, like always.
“Hey there Olivia!” He said as he gave me a big hug.
“Hey there Kyle and um… other person…”
“Oh this is my new boyfriend Travis.”
“Oh, hey there. Ok go do something productive or don't do anything.”
“Hmmm…. Productive…I'm not so good at that so I guess we'll just go sit over there,” he said pointing to the corner.
            An hour later everyone else showed up and the party began. People were eating, playing video games, surfing the web, talking and some people were even sleeping already.
            I ended up discussing guitar with Chizzy. We were laughing and talking about our first time playing. It surprised me because we had never talked this much at one time.
            Halfway through the party the door burst open. Everyone looked up to see who it was. Sydney was standing in the doorway.
“Livi!!!” She whined. We did it seven times! There’s nothing wrong with him! I swear! He didn't even get tired! He just kept going and going and going. This will not work as justification!”
At this point she finally noticed everyone in the room. She coughed.
“Oh…um…hi everyone…uhm… yeah… I'm just gonna go now…’kay…bye,” She said ash she closed the door.
            Everyone immediately forgot and went back to partying. We finally went to bed around two in the morning.
            I woke up a few ours later next to the Butcher, with Sisky half on top of me, using Chizzy as a pillow, and remembered Sydney. I decided that it was my obligation to go out and find her. I stepped over the various passed out bodies on my living room floor to the door.
            I ended up not having to look too far because she was passed out on the sidewalk outside the apartment complex. I shook her shoulder to wake her up.
            She groaned and opened her eyes.
“Hey there sleepy!” I said.
“Oh hi Livi. What’s up?”
“Well you seemed a little upset earlier. You wanna talk about it?”
“Well it’s just that Gabe is so perfect. How am I ever going to find justification?”
“You just have to give it some time. You'll get some eventually.
“Okay…”
I helped her up and we headed back inside. She made a beeline for her bedroom and went to sleep. I went back to my spot and fell asleep.
    I woke up again a few hours later and surveyed the room. Everyone except me was still asleep.
Stupid boys, all they ever do is eat, sleep and have sex...
I stepped over more bodies and managed to make it to the kitchen without killing myself or waking up any sleeping boys. I turned on the coffee maker and walked to the living room to see the damage. Nothing was too bad but I realized Travis and Kyle weren't in the room. I groaned as I realized what they must be doing. I began checking all the rooms in the apartment. They weren't in my room or Sydney's room so that left Jill's room...oh great... I paused outside the door and pressed my ear to the wood. I didn't hear any moaning or swearing on the other side so I cautiously pushed open the door.
    Kyle and Travis were laying on Jill's bed. Thankfully they were asleep, but they were naked. I couldn't see anything other than Kyle's butt. I grabbed the closest thing to me (which happened to be a really big book) and threw it at Kyle.
    He grunted and sat up.
"Out!" I hissed at him.
"Why?" he asked groggily.
"Because if Jill comes home to find you two in her bed then she's going to kill me!"
"Fine, were going, were going, gosh."
    I turned around as he picked up his red headed boyfriend and walked back into the living room still naked. i threw their clothes at him and shut Jill's door.
    I went into the kitchen and poured two cups of coffee and walked to Sydney's room. I nudged her and handed her a mug.
"So now that you've slept on it what are you going to do about Gabe?"
"Well actually I was thinking maybe I could break up with him for being too perfect. You know, tell him it makes me feel inferior."
"Oh...really that sounds like a good idea."
"Yup!"
"Ok well it's probably time to wake the boys..."
"Yeah probably."
     I walked into the kitchen with Sydney trailing behind me and got a pan and a wooden spoon and headed towards the living room. I hit the spoon against the pan like a drum making as much noise as I could.
"Ok everyone,! Up! You all need to leave because if Jill comes home and sees you we will all be dead!"
    No one wanted to face the wrath of Jill so they all got up, collected their things, said their goodbyes, and left.
    Sydney and I quickly cleaned up the mess before beginning our day. I stayed home to catch up on some "important reading". I was reading about how Fall Out Boys' new single had made $41 million in the first week when I heard Jill come in. I was nervous but Sydney and I had cleaned so it should be fine.
    She walked into her room, but walked out 2 minutes later holding a pair of Pokemon undies at arms length.
"Who's are these?" she asked disgusted.
"Ummm....Billvy's?"
"No, I think I would know if he had Pokemon underwear."
"Oh....ummm...well...Kyle and Travis may have had sex in your room last night..."
"What!?....Wait who's Travis?"
"Umm...Kyle's new boyfriend..."
"Oh and why did they have sex in my room?"
"Um...they were here and horny I guess..."
"And why were they here?"
"Well you were at Billvy's and Sydney was looking for "justification" so I decided to have a sleep over party..." I said sheepishly.
"Oh and you thought this was a good idea why?"
"Because I was lonely..."
"Olivia next time you do something like that I will personally make sure your death is long and painful."
"I know...I'm sorry..."
"Yeah ok...just don't do it again!" she said as she threw the underwear at me. Then she walked out of the room.
    I finished reading, turned off the computer, and went to go make some lunch.

Like a Bad Movie (chapter 6)

           I woke up the next morning to total silence inside my apartment. Usually there was music, or TV or even the microwave but this morning there was nothing. I got up to investigate. Olivia was usually up and busy by now… She wasn’t in her bedroom or anywhere around the apartment; she was still at Brendon’s. I bet they had a lot of “fun” last night. Haha.
            I made myself breakfast and got ready for another day working the register at F.Y.E. After driving the 5 minutes to get there I decided to skip work today, so I called in sick from the parking lot. I drove off again and decided to spend my day at the mall. (a/n: FYE is not at the mall).
            I went straight for Hot Topic and saw that Caleb was working yet again when I was there. I looked around but didn’t buy anything seeing as I had no money.
“Hey Caleb!”
“Oh hey there Sydney, how are you?”
“Great and you?”
“I’m good… Shouldn’t you still be at work?”
“Yep, I’m “sick” today!”
“I should do that sometime.”
“Yeah, it’s not really that fun if everyone you know is working though….”
“Yeah I wouldn’t think so… that reminds me I’m working so I kinda have to go now…”
“Oh, ok, bye then!”
“Bye.”
            I walked out of Hot Topic and went to Spencer’s Gifts. I smiled when I saw my friend Spencer working. He was always getting grief about how his name and the store’s name were the same. (Stupid people, they believe that he didn’t notice that himself…). Then I saw Jon talking Spencer up. Jon had a thing for Spencer…Ok he was a little obsessive, but what ever. I decided not to ruin their conversation because Jon had actually gotten Spencer to smile! I looked around kind of hiding behind things; hoping Spencer wouldn’t notice me right away so Jon could have his fun. Just my luck Spencer saw me immediately.
“Hey Sydney, can I help you with anything?”
“Um…no you can talk. I’m just looking,” I said winking at Jon when Spencer turned back to him.
“Ok tell me if you need anything,” he said waving a hand.
“Yep”
I looked around again just looking and then I had to go so I said my goodbyes and went on an adventure to find the food court. It wasn’t much of an adventure because it was literally right across the way from Spencer’s Gifts.
            I walked over to see Jack eating with a blonde I didn’t recognize. He was cute though. I walked up to them.
“Hey Jack!”
“Oh hey Syd!”
“Who’s your friend?”
“Oh this is Michael, Michael this is Sydney.”
“Oh hi Sydney, funny that’s my home town.”
Oh so that’s what his accent is…
“Hi Michael nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you too!”
I smiled at Jack and raised a questioning eyebrow. I wondered if he and Michael were going out. He smiled and winked so I took that as a yes.
“Well I have to go umm…get food now! Oh…wait I can’t…”
“Oh why is that?” Jack asked.
“I don’t have any money…”
“Well you could have just said so…here,” he said handing me $30.
“Wow really Jack?”
“Yeah, why not…you need to eat and that $30 was doing nothing for me.”
“Oh okay…I’m going to go now.”
“Okay, bye sweetie!” Jack said.
“Bye Sydney.” Michael said.
I got my food, ate and went to the parking lot to leave.
            I got home to find Olivia home again.
“So how was Brendon?”
She blushed and smiled widely.
“I take that as a “freakin amazing, can’t wait to do it again” face. Yes?”
She nodded and smiled more.
“Ok you have fun with that… I have to go get ready for my date with Alex!”
“Date… but you said you were going as just friends…”
“Right, I meant friendly non-sexual get together! Of course!”
“Haha, go get ready for whatever it is doing.”
I walked to my room to pick out an outfit. I decided on my purple skinnies, black flats and a black sorta kinda dressy shirt.
“I thought this wasn’t a date.” Olivia said.
“Yeah, so?”
“Well you’re kinda dressed up…”
“Not that much…”
Just then the doorbell rang. Olivia walked to her room and gave me thumbs up before disappearing into it. I took a deep breath and opened the door to find (and incredibly hot) Alex standing there in skinnies and a sorta kinda dressy button up shirt.
“Well hey there sexy,” he said.
“Don’t push your luck Alex…”
“Ok, ok…but do you look good.”
“Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself.”
“Shall we go?” he said extending his arm for me to take.
“We shall.” I said taking his arm.
            I felt kind of like a movie star walking down the red carpet with the hot male co-lead, but Alex didn’t need to know that…at least not right now. When we got to the parking lot, he walked a little bit ahead and opened the car door for me.
“My lady,” he said.
I giggled despite myself and got in as he closed the door behind me and slid across the hood to get to the drivers side.
            We were going to and Italian place called Mario and Luigi’s. (a/n: I wonder it there is an Italian restaurant named that.)
            We listened to the radio on the way there and sang along to all the songs we knew. We got there and parked. We walked in and waited 10 minutes for a table. We both ended up ordering chicken parmesan. We ate and talked about everything from the pointless t o the meaningful. If we knew about it, it got talked about. We talked so much and so loud that we got death glares from the patrons around us. We finished and staying true to his word Alex let me pay. He drove me home and even walked me to my door.
“Thank you Alex for a wonderful night.” I said as I gave him a “goodnight” hug.
He hugged me back and smiled.
“’Night Sydney.”
“’Night Alex.”
We went our separate ways as I entered my apartment. I got ready for bed and immediately fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, dreams of Alex softening my night.
A/N: i wrote like al of this chapter...my friend helped though! wooo! comments fuel the fire!

Like A Bad Movie chpt. 5

            After lunch Jack went home and Olivia went back to the apartment go get ready for her date with Brendon and I went with her. I sighed as I realized that I would be alone this afternoon. I got on the computer to check my Buzznet and email. Alex was on.

Getlow1487: Hey Syd!

musicmaddness6278: oh hai there Alex!

Getlow1487: what’s up?

musicmaddness6278: ehh nothin...hey want to come over and play guitar hero?

Getlow1487: really?

Musicmaddness6278: Yep!

Getlow1487: ok...wait right now?

Musicmaddness6278: Yep!

Getlow1487: ok see you soon. Bye!

Getlow1487 has signed off.

(A/N: btw Olivia left during all that)

            I signed off and went into Olivia’s room to get the Wii. I set it up and waited for Alex. It only took him 5 minutes so I didn’t wait that long.

“I’m going to so own you,” I said when he walked in.

“Nu-uh, I’m gunna own you.”

“Well let’s just see about that.”

“Yes lets.”

I handed him a plastic guitar and took one for myself. I set it to battle mode and we started. 20 and 20 sore fingers later we were tied. I put down my guitar and stretched my poor fingers.

“I’m gunna order some pizza. What do you want on yours?” I asked him.

“Um…anchovies, peppers and pineapple!!”

I stared at him.

“Okay…..”

I walked into the kitchen, picked up the phone and called Domino’s. I ordered our pizza and walked back to where Alex was sitting with the guitars.

“We have 30 minutes. Haha.”

“I can think of plenty of things to do in thirty minutes,” he said seductively. “Infact we only need 10.”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Just keep your eyes on the screen and I won’t be obligated to hurt you.”

He stopped looking at me immediately and we played a few more rounds.

            I was in the middle of a 300 note streak when the doorbell rang. I paused the game with a “Grr!”, and walked to the door. I opened it to see Kyle standing there holding two pizza’s.

“Oh hai there Kyle….I didn’t know you worked at Domino’s”

“I don’t…”

“Ok then…”

“I’m filling in for a friend.”

“Oh ok…how much do I owe you?”

“Hmmm $15 and a hug!”

“Can do!” I said as I took the pizzas, handed him the money, and hugged him in one fell swoop.

“Bye see you later!”

“You too, take care.” I said.

            I brought the pizzas into the living room where Alex was staring intently at something. I followed his gaze to find a small black spider on the wall next to the light switch.

“Umm Sydney, get rid of the spider please!” he said in a slightly high pitched voice.

“Ok fine…” I said as I picked it up with a tissue and threw it out the door.

            When I got back Alex was already done with half his pizza and working on a fifth piece. I opened my pizza box, took a piece and took a bite. Alex pretty much looked like a rabid dog when he ate…he was a cute rabid dog though. I laughed at my own thoughts and Alex looked at me like I was high or something.

“What” I asked.

“Why are you laughing?” he replied.

“I thought of something funny.” I said in my defense.

“Ok then…”

            I turned back to my pizza, but I caught him looking 5 more times (dang that means I was looking too…). When we were finished it was almost 10 and I had to work the next day so I had to have Alex leave. He made a pouty face at me, but I managed to get him out the door.

            I cleaned up the pizza remains, took a bath and went to bed.

a/n: I wrote most of this chapter to make up for the fact that i didnt write any of the last chapter.

ENJOY! AND COMMENT PRETTY PLZ!!!!!!!!!

The Bookstore (chapter 5...)

I woke up from dreaming and got up to eat. I checked the clock to see its 9:30 and I had an hour and a half before work. As I walked past Sydney's room I noticed the door was open and I peeked in and noticed she wasn't there.
She must be up, well that's odd for her...
I walked out to the kitchen expecting to find Sydney asleep at the table or something like that but no one was there.
Oh of course she's still at Gabe's why wouldn't she...
I smiled about nothing in particular except that I got to enjoy some quiet this morning before going to work and dealing with the blaring music, most of which I didn't really like that much. I got out Poptarts (yay we bought food!), ate, got dressed and headed off to work.
I drove to work not fully awake which wasn't the best idea ever but hey I still made it there alive. I punched in and went to sit behind the counter to help any early comers though there never were any...I swear half the people who shop here must be vampires or something. I waited around for about a half an hour almost falling asleep, I would have too if the screamo music coming out of the speakers above me would just stop!
"Kinda slow today, eh?" a voice said from the entrance.
"You can say that again..." I said looking up to see Ryan all by his lonesome.
"You...talk?! I asked actually surprised.
"Ummmm...of course...yeah doesn't everyone?"
"Yeah I guess...sorry I've just never heard you talk...what do you want by the way?"
"Just looking, you know..."
"Yeah ok have fun"
Just then Sydney walked up behind Ryan and put her finger to her lips indicating that I shouldn't tell him she was there but I couldn't help laughing.
"Hmmm?"
"Oh nothing, just thought of a funny joke..."
"Ok then.."
Ryan let out a scream as Sydney tackled him to the ground, both landing with a thump.
"What...who...huh?"
"Hey there Ryro!"
"Uhhh...hi..."
They stood up and brushed themselves off, Ryan was an insane shade of red, more so then I had been when Brendon had figured me out.
"Hey Ryan come over, I need you to help me with something." I said hoping to separate them for at least a minute.
"Ok..."
He walked over and I told him all about Sydney's secret affections for him and that she just has a weird way of showing it.
"But she has Gabe..."
"Yeah but she wants you!"
"Re...really?"
"Yep, but don't ask her out yet..."
"Ok."
"Go look hot boy, make her want you more!"
"Ok..."
"Well aren't you little miss talkative today, at least go buy something or I'll be obligated to throw you out."
"Yes, ma'am!" he said jokingly saluting me.
"Haha so funny...well go on now, go do something."
He walked off to the back of the store to look at the new skinnies and Sydney walked up to the counter.
"So what'd you tell him?"
"That you like him alot, but I told him not to ask you out yet...I wanted to give you a chance to decide if you wanted to end it with Gabe just yet..."
"I want to have Ryan, but Gabe has never done anything wrong...he's really a sweetie!"
"I know he is but you can't have both boys that way and I can tell that you want Ryan alot, who wouldn't he is really mysterious and he's nice too! You can still have Gabe as a friend!"
"Yeah...ok I will end it with Gabe, but I don't have any justification...."
"Then wait until you do! But do it quick!"
"Ok, bye! I have to go get some justification!!"
"Have fun!" I said laughing to myself as she walked away.
About 10 minutes later Ryan came to the counter with a pair of really cute black skinnies, but they were at least 2 sizes too big for his skinny little frame.
"Ummm...Ryan you wear your skinnies this big?" I asked as I looked down at his legs and seeing clearly that he did not.
"Well no...these are for Brendon..."
"Oh...may I ask why your buying pants for Brendon..."
"Umm according to him I have a better fashion sense so he told me to buy him some clothes for his date with you because I was already going to the mall...so I did..."
"Oh, can I help?"
"Sure...You know what he likes right....or at least what you like haha..."
"Yeah ok, c'mon then, but we can only shop in here because I am working you know!"
"Yep"
I ran around the store like a hyper 5 year old who just discovered a room made of candy and couldn't decide what to eat first. Ryan trailed behind me barely trying to keep up.
"This shirt...no this one...oh but I like this one too!"
"Get the red one, he likes red!"
"Ok and the pants you had for him...ooo and that belt too!"
"And I'll get these skinnies and we're done now."
"Dude, size 00 girl jeans?!"
"Yeah...Brendon is a size 2..."
"Yeah, but his were at least guy pants...right?"
"Nope, his were girl pants too!"
"Oh wow..."
We went to the cash register and I rang his purchase up.
"Ok so that's $75 and you get the employee discount because your awesome so that's...$67.50!"
He handed me his credit card and I finished his checkout and sent him on his way.
"Remember, this is our little secret, Brendon doesn't have to know!"
"Ok, bye"
"Bye bye, Ryro!"
Great alone again...well I should get my own outfit now too...I'm in need of some new clothes anyway...
I ended up with a pair of black skinnies, a cute purple shirt, a pair of red converse and a new stud belt. It was pretty expensive but also pretty sexy so it was worth it!
Throughout the day I barely got 3 more customers and then I was done and I went home! Wooo!
I got inside and almost walked right back out again. Jill and Billvy were on the floor in the middle of the room doing inappropriate things.
"This is why you have a room Jill!"
"Yeah but the bed got boring!"
"Got boring....how many times did you...I don't even want to know! I'm going back out please don't be doing this when I get home. Actually better yet, Billvy you have a place right? (he nodded) Then why not go there!? You can get bored there and no one will care much!"
I walked out of my own house and realized with Jill at Billvy's and Sydney trying to find "justification" I would be alone at home tonight.
I need sleep over buddies! Hmmm...oh The Butcher and Sisky and Chizzy and Suarez and John-O and Kennedy and Bob and Caleb and Kyle...yep that's a good amount of people!
A giant group of boys at my apartment.
Tonight should be interesting!
 
A/N: Just in case you didnt catch it the italics are my thoughts...

The Bookstore (chapter 4)

While we were running we ran into our neighbors Alex and Jack. Literally.
"HI Jack, hi Alex!" Sydney and I said breathing hard after our run inside.
"Hey girls, why are you running?" Jack asked as he held Alex's hand.
"Brendon just asked me out!!" I replied very happy.
"Aww, sweetie that's great!" Alex said.
"Ok gotta run bye bye," I said.
"Ok bye then," they replied and started walking out.
Sydney and I continued running and burst through our front door not really noticing our surroundings at first. Then I saw the clothes strewn on the floor almost in a path leading to... Jill's room!! I immediately recognized Billvy's signature tight girl jeans and pulled Sydney straight out the way we came.
"Hey why are we going out again?" she asked perplexed.
"Didn't you notice the clothes on the ground? Jill is getting some or at least something from a certain tall brunette who frequents our apartment!" I said.
"Ohhhh...ok so what do we do now?" she asked.
"I guess go out..."
"Ok c'mon then."
We ran into Jack and Alex again on our way back out.
"Why back so soon?" Alex asked.
"Oh well our apartment is occupied if you catch my drift..."
"Ah, dear William is over then?"
"Yeah."
"Ha you owe me $20," Alex said to Jack.
"Fine, you win this time."
"You....you bet on when William would get Jill into bed?" I asked slightly surprised.
"Yep and I won!"
"Ok well we have something to do at the apartment right Alex?" Jack said with a devilish smile on his face.
"Really? Ok!" Alex said as he walked off.
We walked out to the parking lot. Just then Sydney's phone rang. It was Gabe.
"Sorry Gabe wants to hang out, see you later bye!" she said running off.
Great, I thought, now I'm alone...
I continued walking and hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes. I knew almost everyone in my town but then again our town was small enough for everyone to know everyone. I saw some people I didn't like and some people I did but no one I really felt like talking to, until that is I ran into my friend Vicky-T.
"Well hey there, what are you doing out alone? Usually you have a posse following you." she said when she saw me.
"Ha I would hardly call my friends my posse, but if you must know they're all busy with their significant others," I replied.
"Oh that's too bad, hey want to go get coffee?"
"You know I don't drink coffee, but if you mean go and bother Jon to no end then yeah let's go!"
We headed off in the direction of the Starbucks on Freemont St. talking about nothing in particular. When we were almost there we ran into Tisha, Brendon's (now former i guess) girlfriend. She didn't quite catch our death glares because she acted as if we were best friends.
"Hey are you doing anything on Saturday because there's like this totally rad party going on that we just like have to hit up!" she said excited.
"No I have plans and I'm sure Victoria does too." I said smiling because this was just too fun.
"Oh well I'll just go ask Brenny Bear then! Bye bye!"
Wait Brenny Bear is Brendon...she doesn't know yet! Oh that boy has some explaining to do! Wow it's only been an hour and we already have relationship problems, I think that's a new record! Good for us...
We made it to Starbucks and I had figured out that he must not have had a chance to tell her yet I mean it had only been an hour he had still had time...
We walked in and beelined straight for the counter top annoy the one and only JWalk.
"Hey Jon what are you doing?" I asked.
"Making coffee I mean I am working at Starbucks," he said smiling because he liked our little game.
"Well I see Spencer's not here, and neither are Brendon and Ryan."
"No, it's Wednesday night which is apparently lovers night in our town and Spencer...well I'm not really sure what he's doing..."
"Yeah I noticed, hey are you going to the party that apparently everyone is going to?"
"No, I'm working."
"Why work the night shift, let alone on Saturday, I don't!" I worked at the local Hot Topic and I worked mid-day shift and I didn't work Saturdays.
"I don't either!" Vicky-T added in.
"Victoria sweetie you don't work. Period." Jon said as he handed her a coffee just the way she liked it.
"I know but I felt left out of the conversation!"
I looked down at my watch and realized I had to get home.
"Hey Jon can I have a muffin to go?"
A/N: Do they even sell muffins at Starbucks?
"Are you going to pay me this time?"
"Yeah how much do i owe you?"
"$12 for the 4 muffins you haven't paid for."
"Ok here's $15 for Vicky-T's coffee too. Bye bye"
"Bye," they both said as I left.
I made it home almost without realizing it, my mind had been so occupied with thoughts of a certain brown eyed boy and some dirty things I could do with him. I made my way up to my apartment and opened my front door, not truly that surprised by the sight before me. William in a pair of boxer shorts and Jill in a way too big t-shirt.
"Oh wow you aren't obvious at all you guys."
They turned just realizing I was there and William turned a bright shade of red.
"Go on about your business, just do it quietly and use protection!" I said as I walked away laughing to myself.
I played my guitar until I fell asleep again still holding the neck of my guitar, to thoughts of Brendon.  

random picture!
I'm always open for construction! haha! Comments fuel the fire!
