Sorry for the Delay

I've been having off and on Issues with sims since installing Pets! I am working on trying to get the kinks out, but it's still acting up after a few minutes of game play, so I can't get pics -_-

So I haven't forgotten or stopped! Just ran into some issues :(

Loser of the Year : Chapter 2.2

With graduation right around the corner and my grandmother out of town I couldn’t help but throw an all-night party. Even though I may have been labeled as an outcast, I knew no one would turn down a party invite. I was fidgety mostly because Lucus said he would love to come. Of course I knew Josh would show up so I was hoping like crazy there wasn’t going to be any issues. Also I for sure wanted to make a statement fashion wise, but with pretty much nothing to wear and hardly any friends with fashion sense I was out of luck. That is until I remember all those fancy clothes that were in my grandmothers dresser.

I was curious on what exactly what my grandma kept in them and hoped like crazy maybe something decent to wear. So I gladly took the liberty of helping myself through her dresser. My hands froze on a box that was labeled Lucy. Sucking in a breath I opened it to find it full of my mother’s jewelry. I couldn't bring myself to take any of the precious gems. Placing it aside it made me wonder if the contents of this part of the dresser was my mothers. Rummaging through it I smiled when I felt slinky fabric beneath my fingers. It was perfect. Trying my best I shoved everything back in the way they should have been and hoped my grandma wouldn’t even notice.

With the party starting up in a few hours, I primped and finally got dressed. I was glad that the dress fit perfectly showing off every curve that I had. Hopefully I didn’t look like I was trying too hard. When the first kids started to arrive Lucus walked in… with another girl. Why did even get my hopes up the he would actually be single. She was perfect in every way; glossy platinum blonde hair, perfect curves, and gorgeous blue eyes. Beating myself inside I plastered on a smile when he looked my way.

Half stopping in his tracks he looked me up and down once again and shook his head as if he thought he was dreaming. That’s a good thing right? The sudden urge to make him jealous peaked into my head when Josh walked through the door. Sure Josh was a creep on the level ten factors, but at least I knew he liked me.

Putting attitude in my hips I swayed past him and pretty much threw myself at Josh. Catching him off guard his eyes about bugged out of his eyes when he saw what I was wearing.
“Well look who finally came to their senses.” He smirked his typical smirk which made me want to gag. “Don’t you just look sassy tonight?” Wrapping his arm around my waist he led me to the couch.

I might be playing with fire, but it certainly got Lucus’ attention. Whenever I looked up from the conversation with Josh he was somewhere near by watching. Feeling slightly uncomfortable when Josh squeezed me closer I finally got a hint of his full intentions. He leaned over just as I looked at him and pressed his lips against mine.

Startled I jumped from his arms. “What do you think you’re doing?” I stepped back as he looked at me with utter confusion on his face.

“I thought you wanted to? You know you pretty much threw yourself at me right when I walked in the door. Sending a guy the wrong signals isn’t a good thing. Especially me.”

“You know what Josh? I only did it to make Lucus jealous okay. I like him not you. Get that through your head why don’t you? Now just get out of my house!”

I hadn’t realized that I drew the attention of the crowd until I heard everyone murmuring. Embarrassed I shook my head on the verge of tears and ran into my room. I didn’t really care if they stayed. I knew they would all leave when they wanted to. The pulsing beats of the music vibrated through my walls and I could hear people laughing on the other side.

Upset I leaned up against the door wishing they would all just shut up. I felt like an idiot as it was, and frankly I felt stupid for having my first kiss with Josh. I wanted to share that with someone special not some creep. A light knock on my door startled me making me jump out of my skin.
“Umm Kaybree, can I talk with you?” Not recognizing the voice I cracked the door open to reveal miss platinum blonde herself. Great what could she want? She probably wanted to cuss me out me out for crushing on her boyfriend.

“Yea I suppose.” I let her in and shut the door once again. “What do you want to talk about? It’s not like I don’t already feel stupid for saying I was crushing on your boyfriend.” She gave me an odd look and started to laugh.

“Kaybree, Lucus isn’t my boyfriend. Hun he’s just a really good friend of mine. I don’t go for guys anyways. My name’s Becca by the way.” Confused for a bit it hit me. She was a lesbian…. Plopping down on the bed next to her I smiled.

“So then why is it you wanted to talk to me?” She rolled her eyes at me and laughed again. Frustrated I rose my eyebrow at her and gave her my best just spit it out look.

“Okay, okay fine I’ll tell you. Kaybree, Lucus has a thing for. Heck he has since he first moved here at the beginning of high school. He’s one of those overly shy guys. Well that is until you get to know him. Then you just can’t get him to shut up.” My heart soared into my throat as she continued to talk. “But that’s beside the point. See here when he say Josh full on out kiss you on the couch he left. Upset might I add.” Feeling my heart fall back down I frowned.

“I ruin everything.” I sighed and she placed her hand on my shoulder. Maybe if I was more blunt on telling him I liked him or even gave him more signs then maybe that could have been him I was kissing on the couch.

“No you don’t hun, he wasn’t even aware you liked him. Though I had to stay back and get your side of things. I kind of got the hint you were trying to make him jealous, but he obviously didn’t. I suggest you text him or heck maybe even call him so you can sort things out.” The door slammed closed and she frowned. “Sounds like everyone just left.”
Shrugging I sighed.

“I don’t care.” She gave me a big hug and stood up. “Now you don’t be a stranger. You seem pretty chill, text me sometime okay?” She flipped a paper at me before she walked out of my bedroom door. Scratching my nose I peeked out in the living room to find everyone had left. Checking all the rooms to double check no one else was around I locked the door and dressed into my pjs. I was nervous, I didn’t want to seem to forward, so maybe I would just talk to him at graduation in a couple of days to let him cool off.

Gone to Soon: Chapter 2.1

I was told more than once that mom was a little off her rocker after my dad died. I remember her vaguely. Coming home seeing her face and excited that I would be able to see her. The last time I saw her was the first day of first grade. I came home excited telling her about my new friends, and asking her where my father was.

My grandma always told me that was the last thing that pushed her over the edge. Though I know there was more to it. She doesn’t know, but I found that note my mom wrote all those years ago. I still have it. Sometimes I wish I could see her again, but that isn’t going to happen. I’m hundreds of miles away in Hidden Springs. Closing my eyes I can still remember some of it.
You were everything to me this is why I have to leave. So sleep well my angel. Under all the ash and the lies something beautiful here now dies. And the tears burn my eyes as you sit there all alone. I’m sorry. Opening my eyes once again I sighed.

My mom didn’t realize that grandma had read the note shortly after she left to go to the beach. She was found just in time, and placed in a mental institution. I don’t know exactly what happened, but grandma wouldn’t let me see her after everything happened. She whisked me away in hope of erasing all the bad memories.

In a sense I’m kind of glad that I never got dragged into everything that had happened when I was little. I probably would have been made fun of, but well I still kind of am here. I may not be the most fashionable because my grandma doesn’t have spare cash to spend money on high fashion items. I guess maybe it could be because I’m a bit of a loner or a nerd. I stick to myself more than anything.

“Hey.” Josh lazily lay back on the wall giving me his typical bedroom eyes.
“Josh what do you want?” I sighed and rolled my eyes trying to make it obvious that I don’t want anything to do with him. Josh has always had a thing for me since I pretty much moved here. He was one of those cocky kids who thought they could get whatever they wanted.

“How are you doing?” Moving towards me he shook his eyebrows up and down. “You know what would look good on you?” His breath was hot on my cheek.
“Knock it off Josh.” I stepped back but he moved right along with me. Clasping my arm in his hand he intently looked into my eyes.

“Answer me?” His grip tightened on my arm as I struggled to get away from him.
“Josh you’re hurting me.” I pulled harder against his grip hoping his hands were sweaty enough to get loose.

“You know Josh maybe you should let go of her?” Startled we both looked over and see Lucus standing there with a determined look on his face. Lucus… he was the ultimate in dreamy. Though I didn’t really realize he even knew I existed. He was one of those goth or emo teens… or whatever it is you wanted to call them. And well me, I already said I was a class a loner slash nerd.

“Why should I? Are you going to make me?” Josh sneered as he dragged me to the side but making sure he didn’t release his grip.

“If I have to I will be more than happy to do so.” Cracking his knuckles he took another step forward. Sensing the fear in Josh’s body language he took another one.
“Fine whatever she’s all yours.” Mumbling under his breath he glared at me as he released my arm.

Sliding my hands through my hair I smirked at him. “Thanks Lucus.” Brushing off his shirt he closed the distance between us.

“No problem Kay. I can’t really stand it when women get treated badly like their some piece of meat.” Smiling he looked me up and down. “Plus you’re a pretty cool chick.”

I swallowed hard suddenly feeling nervous. “You really think that? I mean we haven’t hung out or ever really talked to each other.”

“Yeah really. Remember we do have a couple of classes together. I see how you are. It’s kind of cute.” I blushed and he laughed. “But hey if you ever want to just hang out, can I have your number and well I’ll text you and what not.”
Still stunned I just shook my head and mumbled out my number. “Thanks. I’ll see you around Kay.”

I watched as he walked off still too stunned to even comprehend what was going on. Walking home I couldn’t help but wonder if he was just joking or if he really was serious and if I’d hear from him. My phone buzzed in my pocket causing me to almost drop my books.

With sweaty palms I turned it on to see that my grandma had texted me. Great she figured out to text. I seriously was hoping she wouldn’t. Of course she was always a bit too concerned for comfort. I guess that could be because of what happened to my mom.

Sighing as I walked through the door and I knew immediately that I would get a lecture from her because I was late from school. Trying my best to be quite I tried to sneak up to my room, but of course my grandma was like a blood hound and was on my toes before I knew it.

“Where have you been young lady?” Her stern voice made me cringe and sigh. “You were supposed to be home a half hour ago and don’t go on and tell me you stayed late at school to catch up on your homework.”

“Grandma, seriously it’s a half hour! It’s not like I’m out getting knocked up or some stupid crap!” Throwing my hands up in the air I was beginning to get fed up with all of her crap. “Just please shut up!”

Her mouth hung open slightly as the fury began to build up. “Kaybree Ann Reed you do not ever talk to me like that ever again!” She pointed to my door. “Now go to your room!”
Laughing I shook my head. “I can’t wait till I get out of here.” I mumbled under my breath just low enough so she couldn’t hear it.

Stacking my books on my desk I sprawled out on the floor. My phone buzzed once again in my pocket. Sitting up I turned on the screen to see an unknown number displayed across the screen followed by, hey, it’s Lucus. Smiling and giddy I replied. Maybe there was hope in this miserable life after all.
