Not Everyone Gets Prince Charming

"Guys! No... I take it back," I said, as Ronnie and Max dragged me further and further away from school campus.

"Too late!" Max laughed, Ronnie joining him. I rolled my eyes at the both of them.

"I hate you guys. And when you bring me back I'm never, EVER speaking to any of you ever again!" I said, giving up on trying to get away from them. The girps they had on my shoulders were like vices

"Nice try, McFaulen. We know you've slowly but surely begun to love us. Admit it!" Ronnie laughed

"Maybe. But it's a bad thing. A very, very bad thing. One of those things that shouldn't happen, not ever," I started to ramble

"Shhh," Max told me, putting a hand over my mouth. I licked it.

"Gross!" he yelled, letting me go and wiping his hand on Ronnie, who also yelled.

"Max! Ronnie!" someone yelled. I looked for the source, but Max and Ronnie ran. I stood there confused but then thought 'Oh, hey. These kids know this area better than you do. If they're running, you probably should too,' and then, I panicked. I took off as fast as my legs could carry me in the same direction Ronnie and Max had dissapeared to. I stopped when I came to a chain link fence and saw Ronnie jump from the top and land safely on the other side, Max was already waiting for him.

"There you are. Thought you got caught!" Max laughed

"Yeah. You assholes left me!" I yelled at him, still not making any moves to climb the fence.

"Sorry. But when it comes to Old Helga, every man for himself." Ronnie said

"Who?" I asked

"We call her Old Helga, we don't know her real name. But she's fat and German, and hates us. We always cut across her backyard and climb this fence, that's why I was telling you to be quiet, but you decided to lick my hand and make me scream and she heard us!" Max whined, glaring at the hand he put over my mouth. I snickered, but then went wide-eyed

"We were in her backyard?!" I yelled at them. They both smirked

"Technically, you are still in her yard." Ronnie said, pointing up to the fence. My eyes got as big as saucers

"You suck! I can't climb fences. Why didn't you tell me I'd have to?" I whined

"Oops." Ronnie shrugged and tried to look innocent. I flipped him off then looked at the fence and gulped.

"Just climb the damn thing! And fast, she's coming outside," Max said, pointing toward the house. I looked over and sure enough I saw her opening her front door.

"I can't climb!" I yelled

"Learn!" Ronnie and Max both yelled.

"I'm a fucking tresspasser now!" I whined, puting my first hand and foot on the fence.

"You sure as hell are!" I heard a deep German accent from behind me. I didn't even turn around before I let out a bloody murder scream. Ronnie and Max let out similiar noises, only much higher pitched. The look of pure terror on their faces was great, and the way Max fell trying to run away was even better, I would of laughed if I wasn't in the same situation. I was up and over that fence in record time, although I did rip my jeans. We ran up the hill on the other side before turning around. 'Old Helga' was holding a baseball bat, which caused Max to scream louder and shove Ronnie to the ground before taking off. I helped Ronnie up and then we took off as well. We didn't stop running until we made it to the street corner

"Nice ass Laura," Ronnie said breathlessly from behind me. I looked at my but and sure enough, it was on display.

"Oh my god!" I shreiked, trying to cover it up, and failing miserably. I ended up shoving Ronnie in front of me so he'd stop staring.

"Dammit! Shut up before you bust my eardrums!" Max complained, putting his hands over his ears.

"Shut the fuck up Max. You screamed louder than the rest of us back there!" Ronnie teased him

"Did not!" Max argued like a two year old

"What the fuck ever. And this is for pushing me down you dick wipe!" Ronnie said before socking Max in the stomach. Max doubled over in pain and I just laughed at him.

"Shut up Laura. At least my ass isn't hanging out," he said, from where he was hunched over on the ground. Ronnie knocked the wind out of him.

"You are just asking to get kicked in the balls!" I said, raising my foot. Max moved his arms from around his stomach to protect his nuts. I took that as a golden oppurtunity and kicked him in his stomach, not hard, but enough for him to lose his breath again. Ronnie snickered and I turned to him and punched him in the stomach as hard as he hit Max. Whoever says girls can't throw a punch can kiss my ass.

"Both of you are assholes for leaving me, and then making me climb that fence! Not to mention I ripped my favorite jeans!" I whined, Ronnie just clutched him stomach from where he sat on the ground now, and Max was focusing on trying to breathe, still in the fetal position. "Now get the fuck up and let's continue our adventure!" I said cheerily, causing both boys to flip me off, but they both stood anyway. Well, Max attempted to. Ronnie had to help him up.

"So where are we going?" I asked with a innocent smile, they just glared at me.

"Not where there are any fences, that's for sure," Max breathed, still clutching his stomach. I would have felt bad if he hadn't made me rip my pants.

"To get you some pants," Ronnie answered. I blushed remembering the back pocket was completely ripped off

"Can I borrow your hoodie Max?" I asked him. He nodded and handed it to me. I thanked him before tying it around my waist. "What time is it?" I asked

"1:27." Ronnie answered me

"Linch was over 5 minutes ago!" I yelled at them, they looked unfazed.

"And?" Max asked

"And? And? I'm new here! I can't already be skipping! When my mom finds out she'll make me move schools, and I'll lose phone privaleges and I-" I started ranting, but Ronnie cut me off

"Then you'll move schools," he shrugged

"And lose phone privalges. Who are you gonna call?" Max asked

"GHOSTBUSTERS!" Ronnie yelled. I couldn't help but giggle. They're right.

"You're right. I'm gonna move anyway, and my mom is the only one I ever talk to..." I said.

"Precisely. Now, are you hungry?" Ronnie asked, placing an arm around my shoulder. Max walked awkwardly behind us, sidewalks are too damn skinny.

"Yeah," I told him. He nodded

"Third wheeling it," Max mumbled. I turned around to see him with his arms crossed and a pout on his face

"Aw Maxi! It isn't that bad!" I said in a baby voice. He glared

"Atleast take the hoodie off so I can enjoy walking behind you!" he whined, I giggled

"Don't think Saskia would like that too much." I teased, he mumbled something but before I could ask what it was Ronnie was dragging us into a Burger King. We ordered our food and sat and ate. We talked a lot about nothing, and then decided to leave. Max paid for my food, but not before him and Ronnie argued over it. I was gonna pay for myself, but they wouldn't let me. They're so stupid.

"So McFaulen, whatcha doin' after school today?" Ronnie asked me on our way back

"Nursing my mother's hangover most likely. Why?" I asked

"Just wondering if you'd want to chill at the park with us?" he asked hopefully. I looked unsure but Max said

"Omar won't be there," I nodded, but still didn't give an answer.

"Kellin, Craig, Matt, Andy, and Ashley will be there!" Ronnie added with a suggestive smirk. I smacked his arm, but took the bait.

"I'll be there. What girl would say no to being surrounded by all that sexiness?" I joked. Max groaned

"Don't talk about boys like thatttttt!" he whined

"He's just jealous!" Ronnie laughed, ruffling Max's hair

"Am not!" he said indignantly

"Are too!" Ronnie replied

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled. They got hurt looks on their faces and I glared at them both. "What are you? Five?" I asked

"Nope. I'm 16 and he's 15," Ronnie answered

"Same birthday!" Max added. I nodded

"Aw. Cute!" I said

"That's not cute," Ronnie said

"You're right. Monte is cute," I said, Ronnie chuckled and Max sighed

"No, this isn't happening," he said

"Eh. Matt is adorable, and so is Craig!" I added, just to annoy him

"I'm warning you," he tried to sound threatening, but failed

"Kellin and Ashley are GORGEOUS!" I continued, causing Max to groan.

"Stop," he said

"Andy is sexy," I said, licking my lips

"You're creeping me out!" Max whined

"Nah, Omar is creepy," I said, Max and Ronnie agreed. I giggled

"Robert seems chill," I said, They both shrugged

"Ooh! What about me? Do me, do me!" Ronnie clapped like a retarded seal, I giggled

"You are a sex GOD Ronnie," I said. He smiled triumphantly

"Fuck yeah I am!" he laughed

"And me?" Max asked

"Eh," I shrugged and din't say anything.

"As my good friend Kelso would say 'BURN'!" Ronnie yelled, I couldn't help but laugh. Max just growled

"What was that Maxi poo?" I asked

"I said, at least I don't go around ripping my pants open on fences." he said. Ronnie laughed and I glared at both of them

"At least I didn't shove my best friend down and scream like a girl," I replied

"You did too scream like a girl!" Max said

"Yeah. But I AM a girl Max," I reminded him. His face fell

"Fuck," was all he mumbled. I laughed at him

"To school?" Ronnie asked randomly

"Do you need anything?" Max asked me, I shook my head no.

"Okay, then we'll just wait outside the side doors until the bell rings. It's only about twenty minutes," Ronnie said

"That way security can't see us," Max explained. I nodded my head and followed them back up the hill and to the patio. We walked around Old Helga's, to avoid a repeat of earlier. We walked around to the emergency exit doors and sat down on the steps. Ronnie pulled out his pack and offered Max one. He took it and lit it. Ronnie lit his own and was about to put it away when he turned to me

"Forgot you smoke, want one?" he offered. I shook my head no. "Why?" he asked

"Mom is picking me up. If she smells it on me she'll have a bitch fit," I answered him

"Then let her," Max and Ronnie said at the same time. They grinned at each other before Ronnie held the pack up to me again. I took one

"Pretty sure this counts as peer pressure!" I joked as I lit it and inhaled deeply. "Fuck my mom. She probably won't pick me up anyway," I said, exhaling the smoke

"That's the spirit!" Max laughed. After we finished our cigs the final bell rang. Ronnie helped me up and we walked to the front parking lot. We went over to the dumpsters where I 'met' them the day before. Weird, I've only known these kids for a day and I already trust them.

"Hey Laura," Someone said. I turned around and came face to chest with Andy

"Hey," I giggled a bit, trying to hide my blush. Andy didn't notice it, but Ronnie did

"Andy! You made her blush," he teased. I glared at him and he just smirked. Andy chuckled

"She's cute when she blushes," he said. I felt my face flare up, thank god Kellin and Craig walked over.

"Hello McFaulen," they greeted simultaneously. I smiled at them

"How do all of you know my last name? And why do you insist on using it?" I asked as I lit the cig Ronnie handed me. Craig grinned and Kellin smirked

"Myspace." Craig answered. My eyes got the size of saucers.

"Nooo! Please tell me you didn't see my Myspace page!" I groaned

"Oh, we saw it," Ashley said, joinging the group

"Saw what?" Matt asked walking up a second later.

"Her Myspace." Robert said from beside me. When the fuck did he get there? Monte and Omar were standing near him. Then I noticed all 20 eyes were on me.

"We all saw it," Ashley snickered

"Oh goddddddd," I groaned

"You were cute as a little scene kid!" Andy said

"That thing was made a year ago. I haven't been on it in forever." I told them

"But you were so cute as a scene kid!" Andy repeated, causing everyone to laugh

"What happened?" Kellin asked

"Nothing," I shrugged. They glared at me. It was scary. You try being the only girl in a group of ten boys. "Fine. That was back when I lived in Chicago. It was popular there, and I had friends who dressed the same way," I shrugged

"Well it's popular here. And now you have friends here that dress that way," Matt said

"My mom didn't approve," I told them

"FUCK YOUR MOM!" All of them, and I mean every last one of them shouted at me. I jumped

"Does that happen a lot?" I asked no one in particular

"Sometimes," they did it again. I stared wide eyed. This was so trippy.

"So are you going to the park tonight?" Max asked

"Yeah," I nodded. they all cheered

"Sorry to fuck up the party, but I gotta go." Ashley said. We all said our goodbyes and watched him leave on his motorcycle. He was 16, but he had a license. I actually think he was the oldest in the group, or one of the oldest.

"We gotta bounce too, my mom is here," Monte said. Him and Robert carpool. We said goodbye and hid our cigs as his mom waved at us. We smiled and waved back and waited for her to leave before smoking again.

"I'll see you guys at the park then. Matt and I have to walk today," Andy said. I must have looked said because he leaned to my ear and whispered

"I'll see you soon though," I felt myself blush bright red and he smirked before walking away.

"Ooohhhhhh. Andy made her blush!" Kellin teased

"Shut up!" I giggled

"Look! She isn't denying it!" Craig said

"Shut up," I groaned. Max and Ronnie chuckled at my discomfort

"Anywhore, back to the important stuff. You were SO HOT as a scene girl!" Ronnie said, I rolled my eyes at him.

"He's right," Craig said. I blushed again

"Uh oh. Looks like Andy has some competition!" Max teased, pinching my cheek

"Shut up," Craig said, but he was grinning.

"Well I'm gonna walk home seeing as my mom isn't here," I said "Bye guys." I waved at them before turning to leave, Max stopped me.

"I'll give you a ride," he said, I was gonna disagree but thought against it

"Fine," I sighed

"Oh shit Craig! Max is taking your girl!" I heard Kellin say, then I heard Kellin yelp, and turned around to see Craig had smacked him in the back of his head. I laughed and Ronnie turned to see what happened

"He likes you," he said

"Who?" I asked

"All of them," he chuckled before climbing into Max's car.

"No way!" I said more to myself than him

"Okayyyyyyy," was all he replied. I really hope he's wrong. they all seem sweet but i have my eyes on one boy.
