The whole town thinks I'm to blame for the two girls dissapearing. I didn't do nothing.
I'm always blamed for everything, stealing crap in school, going back to Juvi for something I didn't even do, stuff like that.
But I swear to anyone that'll listen that I didn't touch those girls. I've had a thing for Alice for a while, but she woudn'tve come near me even if she had to. She's to 'perfect' for that.
Court 'n Rach are two girls in my grade, not even my grade, I stayed back two years. They were forced to be nice to me, thier parents worked with my mom. Or something like that. Every Christmas one of the two dweebs, some times both, would show up at my stoop and give me and my family Christmas stuff. Like little toys for my little brothers and sisters. Old clothes even that they outgrew. But thats the worst part, when they come over to me it feels like they've been dragged over to do this 'generosity' thing for my family. It makes me sick, how the town thinks we need this help.
I went out with Emm once, for 'bout a week, then she up and told the whole school that I knocked her up. Knocked her up. Know how that sick that sounds? I would never do that to her, why would I? She was knocked up anyways because of some jerk the next town over. NOT my fault.
I remember the night Alice lost her car, she was in the middle of the street down on the highway, in the middle of the rain. I had to pick her up. She practically tried to hit my car so I would. She was drenched and stone white. And chattering really bad. She didn't even have her cell phone on, it was weird to see her not clicking away at it. She just sat there shivering. I gave her my sweatshirt from mowing the grass to warm up in, I had to do something. She just kind of nodded her head in thanks and wrapped herself in it. She so little that it kind of bunched up around her head and arms. It was kind of funny. I put on the radio to see if she would talk but the storm screwed it up. I dropped her off at her driveway, I didn't know where else to take her, and told her to hang on it and give it back when she could. She nodded again and left my car. I don't know what happened to her 'perfect' little car that she 'begged' for her folks for. All I know is I found her in the middle of the highway 'bout a month ago, when that last freak storm came through.
I still haven't gotten my sweatshirt back either. Maybe she actually likes me too.
But I didn't do anything to those girls. I say ask Alice, she might know something.
