I Didn't Plan This

[BasketballFarrah]

Ok well I decided to write a story, it's not as good as others, so please feel free to leave comments for improvement or compliments! Thank you and enjoy.


I Didn't Plan This


Prologue
Well here I am. The name's Faith Shain, call me skippy or whatever you like; but most people just call me Faith. Well..how to start? I live in California, with my mom since my dad died when I was 7, and I'm now 14. I'm currently just starting 9th grade, freshmen year as you would say. I'll be attending Legacy High School, home of the uh....well I forgot the mascot. I think it's bulldogs, but whatever. I have an older brother who's starting senior year, and a little brother starting 6th grade. So I guess I'm the only girl in the family besides my mom, but I never talk to her anyway. I believe in keeping a wall between my mom and myself, it makes life so much easier. But anyways...my 9th grade year is just starting, so I guess you'll want to see what's going to happen.



Chapter 1
"DARN, what's up with this locker?!" a girl with glasses and her hair up in a ponytail yelled.
"It doesn't just open...you put in your combination.." I said, making it look obvious.
"Oh yeah! Whatever I knew that!" she said, now trying to find her combination in her backpack.
I rolled my eyes, how boring is this? Then, I saw my best friend walking up to me.
By the way, my best friend's a guy, but it will NEVER be the way. At least I think......But anyway, his name's Ryan.
"Hey hey," he said smiling.
"Hola," I replied, after putting my things in my locker.
"So what's your schedule again? This school is so confusing," he said, taking out his.
"Uh......let me find it," said I, opening up my blue backpack trying to find a paper. I found it, and it read:

A-Days:
1st Period - AP Science
2nd Period - Spanish II
3rd Period - AP History
4th Period - Athletics

B-Days:
5th Period - Geometry
6th Period - Skills For Living
7th Period - AP English
8th Period - Athletics

You see, we had A-Days and B-Days. So every other day it would be an A-Day, and the other days would be B-Days. It pretty much just alternates to make it simple.
"Aww, I got all classes with you except athletics!" he said jokingly.
"Shut up," I laughed, as I slapped him on his head.
Then, the Senior Boys were walking toward us.
"Hey cute girl, what's your name?" asked the quarterback.
Oh geeze...he is so cute, but no words are coming out of my mouth!! Come on!!
"Uhm..uh..F-f-f-faith," I said with a weak smile.
"Pretty name," he said, smiling back and taking off his green cap, "I'm Don."
"Nice to meet you," I said politely.
"Yeah. Oh, hey Ryan. Sup man?" he said looking over at Ryan.
"Nothin much," he said calmly.
How does he do that?? He acts so calm when he's talking to Don....oh wait nevermind, he's a guy.
"So I guess I'll see you guys around," Don said, putting back on his cap.
I nodded and they walked off. I looked at Ryan, as he had a confused look on his face.
"What?" he asked.
"Do I really have to ask you? Hook me up with Don!!" I hissed.
"Are you crazy?!"
Now I was the one with the confused look on my face.
"How am I crazy?" I asked.
"He's a senior, and senior guys want different things in high school..." he said, looking a little worried.
I thought about what he was saying, then I knew.
"Oh please Ryan! Like THAT'S ever going to happen!" I snapped.
The bell rang, and we had to get to science.



Chapter 2
Ryan and I got to class, and got the 2 seats in the front. We both sighed, why the front? Ugh....anyways.
"Psst...how long is this class?" I whispered to Ryan.
He looked confused too, since a teacher hadn't shown up for 10 minutes. Suddenly, a fat lady came rushing in.
"Oh golly, sorry class for being late!" she said, trying to run to her desk.
Uh...trust me...you don't want to see her run....
"Ok my name's Mrs. Grecker," she grinned.
Wow....those are some yellow crooked teeth...and eww is that spinach?! I looked at Ryan with the disgust, as he did the same as for the rest of the class. A few people chuckled.
She began talking, and oh great, homework on the first day! Well, I guess that's how high school's going to be. Except for Blake, who always copies off of me anyway.
The bell rang, and I was so glad that teacher didn't have to dismiss you like before, that was unbelievably annoying. Anyway.....we had free period in between, so Ryan and I talked for a bit.
He had blonde shaggy hair, and green eyes, while I had pretty much the opposite, brown hair and brown eyes.
"Please don't tell me you're thinking about Don again...." he said, rolling his eyes.
I suddenly looked at him, since I was not paying attention. "Huh?"
He shook his head nevermind.
"So...still trying out for football?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
"You bet, hopefully I'll make the JV team," he said, looking happy again. He seemed to say it with a good amount of confidence. "What about volleyball?"
"I guess..." I said, not really caring.
"C'mon you'll totally make it. You're like a beast when you hit!" he said encouragingly.
Well...I did play an outside hitter, and had pretty good hits. I smiled and nodded my head.
After the long day was over, we both went home and talked on aim for a bit, when suddenly the door rang. I tumbled down the stairs and opened it.
It was a tall man with dark brown hair wearing a tux. Ugh...mom's boyfriend. Whatever.
"Hey kiddo!" he said, trying to give me a hug.
I backed up, and gave him a dirty look. Just at the right moment, my mom came downstairs.
"Hey you!" she said, getting her purse.
"Ya ready to go?" he asked.
"Ready freddy!" she said as they both laughed.
How pathetic is this......I thought to myself. Once they left, I was thinking about what an idiot my mother's going out with.
Just then, I got a phone call on my cell.
I picked it up and asked, "Hello?"
"Hey," a voice said.
It was Don.



Chapter 3
"Err.......hi" I said a little wearily.
"Wassup?" he asked.
"Nothin..."
There was moment of silence.
"Hey, listen, me and some other guys are having a block party next Saturday. Wanna come?"
I thought about it for a moment.
"Sure."
"Ok cool. I'll talk to you later then," he said.
"Ok, bye."
We both hung up. A block party? Sounds good, now if I get my mom to let me go.......
I called Ryan, and he answered "Hello?"
"Hey guess what?" I said.
"What?"
"Don invited me to a block party!"
Ok....I was really getting sick of these moments of silence in between when someone says a certain something.
"Uh....." he said.
"What?"
"Block parties...do you even know what goes on in that stuff?"
"Dancing...?"
"Um......no. Other stuff. It's dangerous Faith."
"Why do you even care so much? It's just a party," I said, getting a little hot-headed.
What was his problem? It's not like anything bad was gonna happen.
"BECAUSE I JUST DO!!" he yelled.
Again, another moment of silence, but this time on my account.
"Uh...I gotta go," he said, then hung up.
Um...ok...a little awkward. Well..who cares? Obviously it only matters if my mom lets me go.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been 3 hours since my mom left. Where is she? I heard a car and looked outside the window. She and her dumb boy friend were giving each other a kiss. Eww.....
She rang the door bell and I quickly opened it.
"Hey mom?" I asked, as we both walked in the living room.
"Yeah?" she asked, seeming like she's not paying attention.
"Can I go to this party my friend invited me to?"
"Sure, as long as there's a chaperon."
A chaperon? You gotta be kidding me....a chaperon?!
"Uh yeah of course!" I said, even though I knew there wouldn't be one.
"Okay, fine with me then."
I smiled with a little guilt, then went to my room.
I plopped down on my bed, then I thought about what Ryan said.
Maybe it is a little dangerous.......but wait a minute!
Duh.........Kevin's gonna be there! Kevin's my older brother by the way...obviously he's a senior!
Ah...perfect then. Nothing can go wrong.



Chapter 4
Ok...now I just have to get my brother to go...if he is anyway.
"Hey bro," I said, walking into his messy room. I could barely even see the floor in this place.
"What do you want?" he replied, knowing I was up to something already.
"So...are you going to that block party by Don?" I asked.
He looked at me for a moment.
"No. Why?"
NO? How can he NOT go? What an idiot!
"Because...I'm going...."
"Um......"
There again, that stupid moment of silence.
"What?" I asked, annoyed again.
"Block parties are dangerous Faith."
Him too? Are you kidding me?
"Oh my gosh..come on! What's so bad about them? First, Ryan. Now, you?"
"Whatever. You wanna go, fine. But I'm not going, they get crazy."
I shrieked and stomped out of his room, slamming the door.
Whatever....I'm still going.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to get my mind off of things the next day. It was volleyball tryouts and we were doing some drill or whatever. There were really good people, but I could probably make it anyway. After like 100 drills, we had to run a mile. Joy. After that, I could finally go take a shower and change. But I stopped when I walked by the coaches' office that had voices.
"She's good...but her attitude is horrible," one of the coaches was saying.
"Maybe...we'll just have to see how Faith does the next few days," another said.
Me, have a bad attitude? As if! Ok maybe a little. But not the point.
Since I was pretty much free the rest of the day, I decided to go to the mall to pick out a nice outfit. There is NO way I'm going to wear jeans and an okay top to a senior's party. Gotta look good.
I decided to buy a mini skirt, with knee high socks, and a nice top. Good enough for me.
When I got home, I stashed it in my closet when my mom came in and I plopped up on my bed.
"Faith, look who's here to see you!" she said.



Chapter 5
No way. No...it can't be....not.......
"Heya kiddo!" Mom's boyfriend said.
Not him!
I said nothing whatsoever to that idiot. But wait...who's that alongside him?
"Hey Faith." It was Don.
Uh....awkward...I know. I'm quite disoriented right now.
"H-hi...." I said, trying to get the words out of my mouth, still confused.
"Oh...I forgot to tell you Faith. This is Don, Dylan's son," said my mom.
Don...cannot...be...his...son...are you kidding me?!
They all smiled at me.
It was like...a nightmare. It can't be.....how can Don be THAT guy's son? There's just no way possible!
After we got a little settled, my mom made us all eat dinner together, and I sat next to Don.
As you can probably guess, this was VERY awkward.....I couldn't stand it.
After the dinner was over, Don and ugh....that stupid guy left and it was just me and my mom since my little brother slept over at his friend's, and my big bro was out...I don't know but who cares.
"Bye Faith, see ya at the party," Don said smiling.
"Yeah, see ya later," and I shut the door.
I glared at my mom, the way I do at her noob boyfriend.
She looked confused, "What?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME DON IS HIS SON?!?!" I yelled.
"I didn't know!"
"Ugh!" I groaned and went upstairs.
I got out my guitar, Melody, and yes I name my guitars.
I started strumming, then, it was time to amp it up.
I plugged Melody into my amp, and turned it up. You can probably guess what happens next.
So let's just say my mom was yelling at me to turn it down. I turned off my amp, and played a little acoustic.
I decided to write something a little random, since I was in the mood for it.

It's like heaven's crying to us
Like we're in denial, like a trial
Maybe we all just need a little more love

Wouldn't it be easier to be above
Just to see everything, anything
All I need is just someone to trust

Hey, I liked that actually. I wrote it down in my song notebook, just to work on later. I guess I'll just go to bed.
Suddenly, I heard a rock hit my door from my balcony. I looked out and saw Ryan standing there.
I opened the door and walked out.
"Hey......." he said.
"Hey...."
"I'm...sorry for how I was acting earlier. It's not my choice if you wanna go to the party."
"Yeah. It's cool." I said. Finally...something gets better.
"Friends?" he asked.
"Friends," I laughed.
We both hugged.
"So...what's up?" he asked, knowing me, he knew there would be something wrong.
I guess I should just tell him, and we both walked back inside my room.



Chapter 6
After I told Ryan, he just hugged me.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"Cause, you need a friend for this," he said smiling.
I smiled back.
"Don't freak, your mom's boyfriend a stud. She'll break up with him soon," he reassured me.
I wasn't so sure at this though. I shrugged.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday night. Party.
My mom drove me there, I told her to drop me off in the neighborhood next to Don's, just to save myself some embarrassment.
"You sure there's a chaperon?" she asked.
"Of course," I said with guilt.
I walked in the house, there were people everywhere.
I saw Don, and walked over to him as he met my eye and smiled.
"Hey!" he greeted me.
"Hey," I said, as a football flew by my head and broke something.
"Don't worry about it."
I nodded. We walked into the kitchen, and there were bottles everywhere.
"So what do you drink?"
"Um....have juice?"
He laughed, and gave me something. I drinked a little, it tasted kinda weird, but oh well. I just hope it's juice.
"I don't know anyone here..." I said, looking around at all the crazy people.
"Well, they're all seniors at our school."
I guess he had a point, but I was starting to lose my "partying" mood.
He knew I was a bit insecure, so he introduced me to some of his friends.
"Hey guys, this is Faith," he said, as his friends looked me up and down.
"Hey," they all said.
I gave a little wave and smile.
After a while, my tongue felt kind of rubbery.
I think.....uh oh.
"So, wanna go upstairs away from the mess?" Don asked.
I looked at him for a moment, and thought about what I was doing.
"No." I walked outside and waited for my mom to come pick me up.



Chapter 7
The whole ride home was silent. Not one word came out of me or my mom's mouth. I just sat there, thinking about how I shouldn't have gone to that party. At all. Probably one of the worst nights of my life.
When we were home, I went straight to my room and picked up my guitar. I tried to play to get my mind off of the whole night, Melody always calms me down. After a while, there was a knock on my door.
"Come in," I said, fixing a string on Melody.
My mom walked in. Oh boy, let's prepare for yelling.
"I'm not mad," she said, knowing I thought she was. "But..I am disappointed."
Same thing, isn't it?
"Why did you tell me it was going to be safe?" she asked.
I shrugged. "I dunno...I wanted to go to a party where I could just have fun."
She looked at me. "Well that didn't work out so well, did it?"
I shook my head. "No."
There was silence for a minute or two, then my mom asked "Well..if you wanna have fun, in a safe way I mean, do you want to go shopping next weekend?"
I looked at her, why was she offering this when I had just gotten myself into trouble?
"Um...sure..." I said.
"Just a another way to get your mind off of things, instead of wearing Melody out," she said, then winked, as she left my room.
How does she know this kinda stuff anyway?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday. School. I get to see Ryan, my best friend. Good enough, huh?
He was sitting a table, concentrating on something.
"Hey," I said, sitting down next to him.
He looked up, and gave a weak smile. "Hey."
"What's wrong?" I decided to get straight to the point.
He stared at me, "What are you talking about?"
What does he mean by that? Duh, something's wrong. "I said, what's wrong?"
He looked confused, but I could tell he wasn't by the guilt on his face. "Nothing."
This time, he tried to change the subject. "How was the party?"
I knew what he was doing, but I might as well tell him.
After I told him just about everything, we decided to go get something to eat for lunch period. This is the good thing about our high school, we don't have to stay to eat stupid cafeteria food.
But what I didn't understand at all, is what Ryan was hiding from me.



Chapter 8
The next day, we had an exam. English exam to be exact. No worries, English was my best subject, got an A every time. I sat next to Ryan, but Mrs. Boiles separated us since she knew we were close friends.
But for one thing, Ryan was wearing a white polo. I could see through his sleeve on his arm, and there was something dark there.
After class ended, I stopped Ryan in the hallway on our way to our locker.
"Ryan..what's on your arm?" I asked.
He looked at me, a little frightened. Suddenly, he grabbed me by the arm and took me in a storage room.
"What the -" I said startled, but he stopped me.
"Just listen, you can't tell ANYONE about this."
I listened as he went on.
He pulled up his sleeve to show it. It was a bruise.
"Where'd it come from?" I asked.
"From...." he started.
I held his hand, so he would trust me.
He took a breath and said, "From my dad."
I stood there for a moment, thinking about what he had just said.
"Your dad?" I said quietly.
"Yeah....you see....he's....well, he only does it when he's....not himself."
"What do you mean...?"
"Faith, he abuses me."

**************************

The next day at school, Ryan didn't show up.
