"Gee, Thanks, Nick!That's my horse, Christina's Rocky. He got in sooo much trouble it was shortened to C-Rock" I said pointing to my beloved horse that i had been reuninted with some 7 years back. After okaying it with everyone in charge, I was allowed to go on tour with Howie and the other Backstreet Boys as a laaaaaatttttttteeeeeee graduation present(late by about 3 years). the only other member besides Howie that I knew was Kevin. As soon as i met the others, though, I knew I had met them once upon a dream ( hehe:) couldn't resist). At first no one but Howie and Kevin would talk to me, but eventually i got through to Nick and AJ by showing an interest in things they like to do(i.e.- shopping,video games...). Being a hyper 22 y/o you would figure i would be the life of the party right?Wrong. Ever since around first grade i had been in all the extra classes i could be in. I started Target (the gifted program in my state) the last 6 weeks of kindergarden and joined all of the extra curricular activities i could.In seventh grade i was in: French, Target Science,Target Language Arts, and Algebra I. I'm guessing some people looked at me and got somewhat intimadated. That didn't explain why Brian wouldn't talk to me.
I would always try to talk to him but he would give some excuse and back off. Finally, I heard Kevin prodding Brian for the reason he would basically ignore me.
" you really shouldn't ignore her like that!" Kevin said shaking his head while looking at Brian.
" I know but Kev... I'm just jealous. I mean not only did she get to go through High School, but she got into a great college and even graduated early!! She got it easy!!" Brian said. At that moment i had a tumble of emotions.
"An easy life? Yeah! You call having your parents die at age 12 easy? And the only reason i'm... Smart is because that's the way my parents would have wanted it" I pause the tears streaming down my face, " Honor thy parents..." With that i run down the stairs to the lobby. Grabbing a b-ball from one of the baskets filled w/ them in the indoor gym, i start to play.
Suddenly i heard footsteps behind me. Turning around, i saw it was ......
BRIAN!!
