Chapter One: " Red? What?".

I WATCHED MY OBNOXIOUS BEST FRIENDS stare intensely into each others eyes, while their arms were going back and forth. I, half reading half watching them, was pretending not to be amused by their childish ways. I switched positions and stretched out on the couch  shoving my feet under a pillow that was by me. After what seems like hours Evan finally slams Caroline's arm on the coffee table.

"Damn." Line said under her breath.

"Charlie, you got that right."

Evan's voice broke me out of my thoughts. "Huh". I look over at Evan who gives me the "are you serious" look. Who does he think he is? I'm not his professional photographer.

" I can't believe you didn't get that on tApE." He said with misbelief, walking out of the room. "It's sad that you can't control a camera".

I roll my eyes and follow him into the kitchen.

" What's sad is that you need proof that you beat Liner in an arm wrestling contest." I walk over and smacked the bag of chips out of his hand.

He gasped and threw me over his shoulder and started running towards the backdoor.

" You can insult me all you want but when you mess with my food that's when we have a problem." He opened the door and ran faster. Just as he was about to put me down I felt a heavy weight jump on me.

"LINER". I yelled through laughing. We fell to the ground and were laughing.

I stare over at the beautiful flower bush that my mom planted years ago. I grab one of the charms on my charm bracelet and started to play with it. I turned my head and hold up. Caroline and Evan are staring into each other's eyes with the dreamy look. You know the dumb look in Rom-Coms.

Turning my head I hopped up from my butt and silently but quickly retreat inside. I find my self tripping on my carpet stairs. My mom needed to have carpet floors.

I mentally curse at my self and continue walking or limping, whatever you want to call it, to my room. jumping on my queen sized bed with turquoise sheets, my favorite color, I turned on the T.V.

I flip through the channels. More like Netflix.

I find all the Harry Potter movies. Caroline has made me watch that so many times I mean she can't get enough of Daniel Radcliffe. Skipping over them I find Spider-Man like Tom Holland Spider-Man because admit it he is the best one. Continuing I come across five feet apart. I'm not the one for romantic sad movies buttt I am a sucker for Cole Sprouse.

Focusing on the drawings Stella's sister, Abby, drew the door creaks open. Man I really need to get that fixed.

Evan and Caroline come in quietly trying not to disturb me. They sit in front of the bed on the ground. I stare at my two best friends that I've known since I was little.

Caroline would tell me if something was going on between them right?

Well she tell me when she wants to. Caroline is the unique obnoxious friend of the trio.When she was little she got bit by a dog. She wasn't even fazed instead she jumped on the dog and started hitting him until her dad ripped her off. After that she was never allowed around a dog again. 

Caroline is always getting asked out. Line always has her beautiful blonde hair up in a ponytail and her bright blue eyes covered by glasses. She has long tanned legs and lanky arms.

Now Evan is totally different. He is always going out with a new girl every month. Every girl, except for me, would die to run their fingers through his slightly long hair and look into his dark brown eyes. But we get along because he is like my second brother. He was there for every moment like when I got my period for the first time. Yeah he made sure that he was never around for that again. But we also bond through my favorite sport soccer.

People are surprised we hang out because girls and boys who play soccer never get along. We are known as the biggest rivals in the school. We are like the treble makers and the Bella's in Pitch Perfect.

I am the more mature and sensible one. Caroline calls me a loner because I don't go to parties with her and I don't date any boys. Liner says that if I would take off the sweats and put on a dress or even jeans I might get a date. But I don't care so I don't listen but Because of her I have at least forty dresses stacked in the back of my closet.

She always tries to style my wavy brown hair and says that she found the most beautiful dress with my beautiful eyes. Well she's full of crap. She also demands  that my hair needs to be cut and I need highlights and this and that.

Caroline sat next to me and laid her head on my shoulder.

She looked up at me with puppy dog eyes. Meaning that she wants something from me.

Groaning I look back at her. "What do you want now."

"Well there's this party an-

" No."

"But."

"No."

"You know what I don't care what you say your coming."

I sit there for a second and think. Either way I'm gonna have to argue or argue.

I sigh. "Fine, I'll go."

"Really really? Yess yess."

I groan and roll off the bed onto the ground. A thump following me.

"Now let's get your outfit."

"Uhhhhh."

"Hey Ev, you coming too." Liner muffled voice says from the closet.

"Of course." Evan says trying to take his attention off the movie.

I get up and walk over to my closed door and just as I get there the door opens and bangs me in the nose.

" Son of a beach coconut  Tyler!!!!"

" Sorry?" He said non sympathetically.

I move and he opens the door and comes in.

"Well the reason I came in here is to say that I need my pen back."

I go over to my desk and dig through the drawer. Finally I found the pen.

"Here." I hand him the pen and shove him out the door. "Bye."

For being a sophomore in highs school he's pretty annoying. When mom died 2 years ago he blocked himself from the world but in the summer sometime that changed when he met Rebecca.

Caroline comes out of the closet with a skin tight red dress that comes down to the top of the thigh or I call it the end of my butt.

"Here it's perfect". Line smiles and brings the dress up to my body.

"Yeah Char you look Hot". Evan bites his lip trying to hold on to a laugh.

I run over to him and punch him on his arm. "Call me that again and your will never ever have children.

Evan gets up rubbing his shoulder. "Okay. Okay." He turns to walk out the door but fakes it and goes to grab me but I move out of the way and instead he picks up liner. He runs out the door and heads to the stairs. I run out of the room just in time to see Evan trip and him and Liner tumble down the stairs.

Oh my gosh!

I run down as quick as I can. Covering my laugh with a cough. Caroline gets up off the the ground dusting herself off while Evan groans on the ground.  I stand still, shock-written all over my face.

Line shrugs her shoulders. " Evan, broke my fall."  And walks over and sits on the love seat in my living room.

I nod my head slowly and turn to Evan. He's now flat on his back with his hands over his face. I hold my hand out towards him. He seems like he just got kicked in the you know what.

" Need some help there." He grabs my hand and I slowly pull him up. He grabs his lower back and groans.

"Her fat ass landed straight on my back!"He yelled towards the living room.

"Hey it's not my fault that I'm thicc and your not!" Is the response he got back. Evan rolled his eyes and looked at his phone.

"I better get going Soccer practice starts soon."

I look at my phone. My eyes open wide SHIT! It's four o'clock. Practice starts at 4:30. My dads still not home from work and I don't have a car yet. I run into the living room.

" Hey line! Can you take me to soccer practice?" I plead with puppy eyes.

She gives me a sympathetic look. " Sorry my sister is borrowing my car and I came here with Evan."

I turn and run to the door where Evan is about to walk out.

I pucker my lip and plead, " Will you take me to soccer practice please please. I'll be ready in five minutes." The fact that he is making me beg is annoying.

He sighs." Fine but if you aren't down here in five minutes I'm leaving." He say seriously but I can tell by his eyes he's joking. I run past the living room where Caroline is upside down on the couch. What?

I turn my head and run up the stairs. I grab my soccer bag and a pair of clothes and run down the stairs through the living room and out the door.

I yell behind me, "if no ones home lock the door when you leave. Okay?"

" No Problem Charlie. And we are finishing your outfit tomorrow." She just doesn't give up

I see Evan in his 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I hop in the back seat.

He looks at me confused," why are you back there?"

"I need to get changed into my soccer stuff."

"Oh." He says looking into the rear view mirror with a smile on his face.

"Hey! Keep your eyes on the road." I chuckle me and Evan are like brother and sister we just don't feel that way about each other.

We pull out of our square neighborhood. You know like the ones with the park in the middle. After a few minutes I decide to break the silence.

" I feel like I'm baby in dirty dancing right now." One of my favorite movies of all time.

" Meaning I'm Patrick Swayze as hot Johnny Castle."

" Keep dreaming." I say as we pull into the parking lot of our school. I jump out in my full soccer gear not that much really. We run up to the field where the boys and the girls soccer teams have to share the field. Our school is tiny. So we don't have much funding for three different fields. We share one. All sports play on the same field football, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball.

We approach the field and I see the boys team warming up. A boy I don't recognize shoots and the ball curves into the corner of the net the goalie not even close to touching the ball.

" Whose that." I ask Evan who is, of course, staring at the backsides of my team. I roll my eyes and snap his attention back to me.

"Hello I asked you a question." I say snapping my fingers in his face.

" What? Oh yeah. He's this new kid just moved her from Australia I think. Apparently his family has moved all across the world but he's originally from England."

I stare at him. Creep much?

" Are you secretly a stocker or what? How do you know that much about him."

Evan rolls his eyes. "I'm the captain of the team I need to know my players. Duh. Don't you know your players."

" Well yeah I guess. But that doesn't mean I go around finding out where they originated from."

" That's because they are all from here!" He laughs and walks over to his team. " I'll bring you home okay? He turned around and yelled.

I nod and run over to my team ready for a painful practice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I run over to the bench where my water bottle and my phone is. I chug the water and head over to grab my bag. I see that Liner texted me a picture of the red dress she picked out for me to wear to the party and I answer back. She sends back a weird meme and I laugh. I mean who doesn't laugh at memes right? I, too busy texting, didn't realize my feet tripping over a bag. I get ready to hit the ground when instead I'm caught in somebodies arms. I open my eyes and I'm staring straight into empty electric blue eyes. His curly brown hair falling perfectly on his forehead. His muscular arms holding me tightly around the waist and neck. I was speechless and lost in my thoughts.

Until he put me back on my feet and takes my phone out of my hand. He looks at mine and liners conversation. I go to grab my phone but he holds it higher. Ughh this annoyingly hot guy.

"This is what you were looking at that made you forget your surroundings seriously Red." He says his expression emotionless. "I mean I get if you were looking at a picture of me but babe a cat meme c'mon." Now he has a smirk on his face. I reach up and grab my phone.

Red? WHAT?!

I roll my eyes. "What a cocky ass." I grab my bag and start to walk away.

"I didn't catch that." He says in his British? Accent. grabbing my arm.

" A cocky ass." I yell in his face and yank my arm away. Again walking away but instead I'm not interrupted and I reach Evan who is talking to his friend Nick Johnson.

"Oh hey nick." I say giving Evan a look. Around 2 years ago Nick tried to ask me out and it didn't go well. Let's just say it's another story for another time. 

"Hey! Charlie. How are you?" He smiles and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Fiinnne." I say through my teeth. I nudge Evan signaling I don't want to start a conversation. He nods.

" Well we have to get going see you tomorrow?" He says grabbing my hand and turning to walk away. He flicks his hand leaving a confused Nick behind us.

I sigh. "Ughh, that was dreadful." I say to Evan who is grabbing his keys from his bag.

"Yeah he's a pervert." He says sighing.

I put my hand up to his face. "Let's not relive that please."

He smiles. "Okay whatever you say Princceeesss." He does a bow and lifts me off of my feet.

I start smacking his chest. "Put me down you hoe bo." By now we are approaching the car.

He puts me down and unlocks the car and this time I hop in the front.

I stare at Evan who's eyes are on the road. "You never told me what that guy's name was." I say nonchalantly.

He gives me a weird stare. " I didn't think you cared."

" Well I care when that Guy is a dick."

Evans mouth pops open. " Charlie I've heard you say ass, hell, and damn but never that.

I fold my arms over my chest. " that guy deserves it."

Evan laughs and turns on the radio. In my feelings comes on by drake. Ughh I hate This song. But we end up singing the song the rest of the way home.

I wave by to Evan as he drops me off at my house. I see my dads car in the drive way.

I unlock the front door. "Dad I'm home."

"In here." Comes his voice from the kitchen.

I walk into the kitchen holding my cleats. "Ugh my legs are killing me."

He looks up from his computer. "Well you have a surprise in your room."

I give him a confused looked. " Okay I'm gonna head up and get in the shower."

I head upstairs and hear the T.V on in my room.  I head down the hall to Tyler's room. I open the door.

He was sleeping half naked on his bed with the T.V on. I quickly shut the door and head into my room.

There is  Caroline on my bed 3 boxes of tissues and 2 tubs of ice cream. She has her hair in a crazy bun and she is in sweatpants with stains.

I sigh. " Oh liner what happened."

She looked at me with a disgusted face. " Get a shower first."

I pretend to be hurt. " Okay." I head out of the room and hop in the shower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk into my room with a towel and change into my pajamas. I hop on the bed and grab a tub of ice cream.

Line started crying trying to talk.

" Start at the beginning please."

She nods. " we got into our normal argument like usual. But this time she took it too far. She said that "she is a better mother than my mother could ever be. Then when my dad walked in and I told him what she said. The witch denied it and said she would never disrespect my mother like that."

I hug her. "I can't believe she did that."

Line continued, " then she said the only way I am a better mother is that at least I'm here for my children."

I feel so sorry for her. Lines mother died when she was little and her father married someone new. She is a total witch and treats Caroline like crap. Caroline has been in and out of my house for years.

" let's watch a movie and we will stop by your house in the morning and pick up your stuff then my dad can bring us to school."

She nods. " Okay."

I turn on the movie and slowly fall asleep.
