Chapter 2
I hummed as I cleaned my room as music played from my laptop.
"Rain" Joel said as he entered my room.
He was shirtless in basketball shirts and had a half eaten apple and the house phone.
"Why are you guys always shirtless?" I asked.
He gave me a blank look.
"That's like me just walking around in a bra 24/7." I said.
He rolled his eyes "Phones for you."
He threw me the phone then walked out.
"Hello?" I asked as I held the phone up to my ear.
"Why the hell didn't you answer your phone?!" My best friend Alex yelled at me.
"Sorry, Its in vibrate." I amditted.
She scoffed "Vibrate my ass."
I chuckled "What do you want?"
"I need help with my homework." She said.
"Alex." I said.
"Yes?"
"You're in college." I reminded her.
"Sooooo..."
"I'm in HIGH SCHOOL!"
"Okay, sorry. I just didn't want to do my homework." She said.
Alex is 20 and I became friends with her when I was a freshmen and she's now my best friend.
"Fine I'll call Joel." She sighed and hung up.
It's weird being in High School and everyones in college.
Hey, when their all having their 30's-life crisi I'm still going to be 29!
So ha!
I finished cleaning my room and got changed quickly.
I put on a pair of black leggings, a football jersey that has the #7 on it and I threw ln black combat
boots.
I walked downstairs and said "I'm going out, for awhile. I'll be back."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Missy get back here." Jax said.
I sighed and turned on my heels to look at him.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To the library and get something to eat." I said.
"When will you be home?"
"When I walk threw the door." I stated.
"Rain" he warned.
I sighed "I will call you, okay?"
He nodded.
I walked out and decided to walk.
* * * *
I came into the city and of NYC.
Taxis flooded the streets as skyscrapers were everywhere.
People flooded the sidewalks and everyone went with the crowd.
I walked as I had my ear buds in and it my phone played music.
I came to the library, and walked in.
"Hi Rain." Ms. Brooks the librain said.
I smiled "Hi Ms. Brook." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She walked up to me and asked "Hows your brothers?"
"A pain." I smiled and she laughed.
"What about your father?"
"He's working." I said.
She forced a smile "He's a good man, dear."
I nodded.
"Well you tell him I said Hi." She said pointing a finger at me.
"Will do." I smiled and walked threw the aisles if the library as books were stacked on top of shelf, on
top of shelf, on top if shelf....
I scanned as I looked for a World History book on Middle Ages.
I picked out books and skimmed over them.
"Hey Rain!" A familiar voice said.
I turned around to see Mikey.
My eyes lit up and I hugged him "Hey Mikey!"
He hugged me and chuckled.
I pulled away and he smiled "How you've been?"
I smiled "Good. Waiting for High School to be over."
He chuckled "Thats right. You're graduating this year."
I nodded.
Mikey has blond hair and brown eyes and he's 19.
He's actually one of my Ex-Boyfriends.
I have had 2 boyfriends in my life.
Mikey and the other one who was a mistake and shall not be named.
He looked at the pile of books I was currently holding and said "Figures."
"Hey! I have a essay due." I deafened.
"You're still a book worm?" He said.
Its true I am a bookworm, I don't know. I just love reading and writing...
I rolled my eyes "Whatever."
"Mikey!" A voice called.
He said "I got to to go Rain, that's my sister."
I nodded "Yeah, nice seeing you."
He smiled and walked away and I returned back to the books.
* * * * * *
I walked down the sidewalk of people and I was walking to Central Park.
I walked in as I held my books to my side.
I watched the scenery.
I then bumped into someone and dropped my books.
"Sorry I wasn't paying attention-" I said as I picked up all my books and when I stood back up, I looked
to see him.
"Watch where you're fucking going!" He snapped.
I saw their were a group of people by a bench that I suppose were his friends.
"I said I was fucking sorry!" I defended "No need to be an asshole about it!"
He clenched his jaw "Your her."
I gulped silently.
The other people looked at me.
I raised an eyebrow and pretended to not know what he was talking about.
"Cut the shit. You're the girl in the school the other night." He snapped.
Jeez, what's his problem.
"This is her?" Another guy asked.
He nodded "Yeah."
I sighed "Ok so, maybe I was....But if I recall you told me to forget about what happened."
He studied me up and down then meeting my eyes "What's your name?"
"None of your business." I said.
He rolled his eyes "Fine. Then answer this. Why were you in that school? And how did you know where
you were going?"
I furrowed my brows "Did it ever occur to you, I go to that school."
All of their eyes widened "What?!"
I nodded.
"You look like your 20." he said.
"Well, I'm not. This talk was nice, but I have to get going." I said as I walked away.
"Wait! What's your name?!" The guy called after me.
"I told you! Its none of your business!" I called back and smirked then turning back around and walking
away.
* * * * * *
"Rain!" Alex yelled as she entered my room.
Her blond hair was up in a pony tail and she was wearing work out clothes.
"Hey Al" I smiled and took our my headphones.
She plopped down on my bed next to you.
"Soooooo....whatcha you up to?" She asked.
I looked at my computer screen, the pile of books next to me, then back at her "Homework."
She said "speaking of which" then yelling "Joel!"
Joel a few moments later and yelled "Rain! What the hell do you wan-" he smiled when he saw Alex.
Alex likes Joel, and Joel likes Alex.
But they're not together.
Adults.......*sighs*
"Can you help with my homework?" she asked sweetly and batted her eyelashes.
Joel nodded and they both head towards his room.
I got up and walked out to the hallway and called "Keep the door open! I don't want to be an aunt yet!"
Joel flipped me off and shut his door.
Please use protection....
"Joel's got a girl in there?" Ryan asked.
I nodded "Alex."
"Oooo" he said then smirked "Looks like you two are going to be sisters-in-law."
I smacked his arm and walked back to my room.
******************
"Kids I'm home!" My dad yelled from downstairs.
I walked out of my room then sitting on the spiral staircase railing and sliding down it.
I walked into the kitchen to see all my brothers there grabbing slices of pizza.
It's a war zone here when its dinner.
"Hey Rain." My dad smiled and hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"How was your day at work?" I asked as I grabbed a plate and piece of pizza.
He sighed "Busy." and I sat down at the table between Joel and Ryan.
"How about you, guys?" He asked.
The guys shrugged "Good."
"How about you, Rain?"
"Okay I guess....." I said.
He said "I hope you studied."
I nodded and forced a smile.

"So that was the girl?" Craig asked.
I nodded "Yeah, that was her." as I put a cigarette between my lips.
"She's hot." Peter said as him and Will played ping-pong.
I shrugged "She's alright."
"Alright?! Dude, she's sexy as hell!" Vince said.
We were in the warehouse.
The warehouse is an old abandoned building where the gang comes and meets up.
"What's her name?" Reece; my younger brother asked who's 19.
I smacked him upside the head "Weren't you there! She wouldn't tell me."
"I like her, she's not afraid to put you, in place. And she doesn't worship you." Leah; my older sister
said.
"Agreed!" Liz cheered.
The gang is: Me, Craig Brown, Peter Smith, Will Douglas, Vince Baker, Neil Doyle, Liz Doyle, Leah and
Reece.
Craig is 27, Peter is 23, Will is 21, Vince is 26, Neil is 25, Liz is 20, Leah is 26, Reece is 19.
Everyone's friends and Leah and Reece are siblings and we're NY's most dangerous gang known as
the 'Crusaders'.
"I think we could use her" Neil said and everyone looked at him.
He continued "Well she did save you from being shot, and doesn't seem scared to stand up for herself."
"Hey, we need a new member.." Liz said.
"We don't even know if she's capable....." I said "She hasn't taken the test".
Aha the test....
"So, I say we test her." Vince said.
I rolled my eyes "Fine. But if she doesn't fucking cave, it wasn't my idea." I said.
