Destiny


CHAPTER 1
I’m 13. I have no brothers or sisters. I have two over bearing parents. They suffocate me. My mother complains how I’m not the girly girl they wanted. She wants me to wear dresses and to wear pink. That makes me sick. My name is Emily Rae Haynes. I wear black make up, black clothes and I don’t like rules. My hair is a light brown. I’m not Emo. People who say they are Emo are putting a name on themselves. I’m not Goth. I’m me. I’m unique and I like the color black.
“Emily, why don’t you wear this skirt instead of your black tight jeans.” My mother told me.
“Skinny jeans Mom. Those tight jeans are called skinny jeans. I’m wear what I pick out.” I told her as I turn on My Chemical Romance. My Mom hates that kind of music. She says its music like that who kills brain cells. I told her that its parents like her that kill brain cells. No one gets me and sometimes its a good thing. My parents put me in an all girls school. They say that boys are distracting. I wouldn’t know, I really never talked to one besides my father. My Mom and Dad are the only family I have. I live in South Carolina and the rest of my family lives in Texas or some where. I don’t really know, my parents say that we will be closer if there is no one to interfere. I’m in ninth grade. I skipped 2nd grade. I don’t really know how someone can skip such a small grade but I did. This year is going to be different. My Father owns his own business. He owns a Honda store or something like that. I don’t usually pay any attention to him when he talks about it. Well anyway, his company is moving to a different part of South Carolina. My Mom is not to happy about it because there are no all girl schools. The school is called Jefferson High and there are only community schools, she doesn’t think that it is proper. I’m so happy. I am very euphoric. I don’t think I will like transferring schools but I need to get out of my old one.
On the first day of school I already made a friend. Her name is Susan. She said she has been at this school all her life. When we were at lunch she pointed out some girls.
“At that table there is the preppy girls.” She continued as she pointed to the table. “Stay away from them. They will make you a target and make your life a living hell. There on the left is Michelle, she is like the queen bee. I think that she is worse that Hitler and if she isn't then they could be twins.” Michelle looked snobby. She wore a pink shirt and black skirt with heels. She had her nails professionally done and blonde hair. I bet she acted like a blonde too. “Next to her is Destiny. She is kind of an air head. She is a brunette but you would call her a blonde. Beside Destiny is Sarah. She will do anything to please Michelle. The rest of the girls at the table are just Michelle followers.”
As we got up to take up our trays Michelle puts out her foot and makes a girl fall. I rush over to help her up.
“What is you problem?” I said with an attitude to Michelle.
“Excuse me! I no you’re not talking to me. You must be new because you just got your self in big trouble!” She said pointing her finger at me. I walked away and Susan took my arm.
“Are you crazy? She is going to murder you.” Emily said more scared than I was.
“She doesn’t scare me and why is everybody so scared of her anyway?”
“I really don’t know but what I do know is that Michelle’s Mom is the principal so I would watch your back.” She said looking behind her at Michelle. This school was so different. There are people making out on lockers and guys whistling. In the parking lot everybody waits by there cars and talk.
“I’m thinking about trying out for soccer. I was really good at my old school.” I mentioned.
“Well, If you do watch out for Michelle. She is captain and soccer is her sport.” She said as she pointed across a field. I wasn’t sure what she was pointing at until I saw Michelle doing a high kick into the goal. She was good but I’m better and I’m going to make sure she sees it.

CHAPTER 2
“How did school go darling?” My Mother asked when I came through the door. She had my favorite dinner made, chicken and rice.
“It was fun but I have lots of homework so can I take my food to my room?” I asked.
“I guess, but bring your dishes back when you are done.” She told me. I hated trying to act happy when I was at my house. Like I said in the beginning I’m not Goth or Emo but I am me and I really hate to be so perky all the time. I’m going to try out for soccer and the sign ups are tomorrow. I told my parents.
“Eww. Do you mean that sport where you get all dirty? Thats gross. Girls shouldn’t do that.” My Mom said shivering thinking about it.
“Well, Em whatever you do have fun.” My Dad said and it made me happy.
“Richard!” My Mother said with a scowl.
“Maryann, she needs some freedom” My Dad said and for once he was right. The next day at school I was walking and talking to Emily until I bumped into someone.
“Ah.” I said as my books fell to the ground.
“Oh my gosh. I’m sorry.” He said continuing. “These are yours.” He hesitated “My name is Josh.”
“Hi, My name is Emily.” I said shaking his hand and grabbing my books. Susan grabbed my arm.
“She will see you around. Bye.” Susan said and continued. “He was so hitting on you. He couldn’t take his eyes off you.”
“What? Really?”
“Yeah. Josh likes to play football and baseball. He is passing everything but he has a tutor. I see him riding bikes a lot and skateboarding. Oh and one more thing. He is Michelle’s ex.” Susan said turning her head.
“Cool.” I said and then we walked to biology. Josh was in that class. He sat across the isle from me. He kept turning his head and looking at me. He was getting really distracted and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Josh! Is there something more important than biology? You know, If you don’t want to learn in my classroom than I can always go to your house.” Mr. Watson said and when he said “Josh” Josh jumped.
“No Mr. Watson.” Josh said turning towards the board.
“Now lets get back. As I was saying.” The teacher kept on teaching but Josh couldn’t take his eyes off me. When class was over as I was walking out the door Josh stopped me.
“Susan right?” Josh asked.
“Yeah. Josh right?” I said but thought it was funny to say that because I knew his name.
“So Emily, Do you want to hang out this Saturday. Theres this new movie out. I think its called Red Riding Hood. Anyway it looks like a good movie. Would you like to go with me?” Josh asked.
“Yeah! I would love to. Where do you want us to meet?” I asked. I wasn’t sure if this was a date or not because I’m not ever around boys.
“I will have my big brother pick us up so my parents won’t be bugging us. How does 8:00 p.m. sound?” I told him it sounded great and we went to our next class.

CHAPTER 3
On Saturday I look in the drive way to see a red pickup truck. I saw Josh get out of the truck. My Mom runs to the door faster than I did. She opens it up.
“Hi. I’m Maryann, Emily’s Mom.” She said perkier than usual.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Josh.” He said shaking her hand. I could tell Josh was getting a little freaked out. He looked kind of funny. He was in dress pants and a tucked in shirt. I thought that was a little too formal for the movies. His semi-long light brown hair was parted to. I see boys at church less dressed up. I chuckled unknowingly.
“Ready to go? Bye Mom.” I said grabbing his arm.
“Wait, wait, wait! I want a picture. Stand together.” She said grabbing her camera.
“Mom!” I said in a little louder voice than I meant to.
“Okay, now was that so bad? Quick get out of here before you miss the movie.” She said putting her camera down. We walked out of my house and I closed the door.
“You look nice.” He said as we were getting into the truck. I thought that was ironic because my hair was in a bun and I was wearing a tight T-shirt and skinny jeans. I looked like I was just staying in. When we got into he messed up his hair and started to unbutton his shirt.
“What are you doing?” I asked him. I was really confused. He was still taking off his clothes but he had other clothes under them. He had a tight shirt and jeans under them.
“Getting changed. You didn’t think I was going to look like that.” He laughed “That was just something to make your parents like me a little bit more.” I still didn’t understand but I had a feeling this was going to me a long night. After about 20 minutes we stopped and I looked to my left to find a house with a bunch of lights. I have never seen a party but I no what they are suppose to be and this was defiantly one.
“Are you going in like that?” He asked me.
“I thought we were going to the movies?” I told him.
“This is more fun. Come on!” He said making a gesture with his hand. I wasn’t sure whether I should call my Mom to pick me up but I thought that I wouldn’t hurt to go in side for a while. So I followed him inside. There was a lot of cups around and you could smell beer. I wanted to leave but I didn’t want to blow off Josh. Josh saw some guy and waved and we went over to him.
“Benny this is Emily.” He said putting his arm around me.
“You said you were bringing a date but you never said she was hot.” Benny said. Josh pulled me closer and asked if I wanted to dance. I said yes, I was a slow song but when that was over everybody was jumping up and down because of the next song. I got tired after an hour or two and asked if we could leave. Josh was drinking and I was worried that someone would complain about the noise. It was worrying me that Josh drank at such a young age. Josh said okay when I asked him to leave. On the way home Joshes brother had to stop at a friends house on the way. When he got out of the car Josh jumped into the back seat with me. He put his arm around me and tries to kiss me but I push him away. He tries again and I tell him to cut it out.
“I thought you liked me. Come on just a little kissing but it can lead to more if you know what I mean.” Josh leaned in again but I moved.
“Josh I’m serious. Stop it. I want to go home.” I told him while shoving him. I don’t know how this creep wasn’t getting the picture, I don’t know if my shove or my yelling was too shuttle.
“Okay, fine. You don’t want any fun than thats not my problem.” He said moving back to the front seat. When I got home my Mom asked me how it went and I said fine. I lied. I use to never lie. Maybe my Mom was right. Maybe community schools are not for me.

CHAPTER 4
The next day at school Susan wanted to know how the date went and I told her everything. She said thats not like Josh and he was drinking so he was influenced. At lunch Josh came up to me.
“Emily I know I’m the last person you would want to talk to but I’m sorry. I acted like a jerk and I’m not usually like that. I was like it if we could start over.” Josh said. He had his friends behind him. I don’t know what it is but I’m getting a really bad vibe from this guy but for some god given reason I said yes. Two days later he picked me up and we went to a school dance. Susan was going to meet us there. Her date was Mack. He was a basketball player. I think he is in 10th grade. The dance was amazing. They had little stars all over the dance floor and tables. They had streamers and balloons everywhere. I’ve never been to a dance before. Josh and I danced to I Can Be Your Hero. Josh started to slide his hand lower and lower down my back. I don’t think he noticed that I noticed but I did. I used my hand and pushed his hand back up. He kept trying to slide it down and when I finally pulled away and got a tight grip and pulled me back. I don’t know who it was but a guy came over and shoved him off me and took my hand and we headed for the door. Josh was speechless. He tried to follow but the guy who had my hand made a gesture to him and he backed off.
“Are you okay?” The guy asked letting go of my hand and he straightens my dress,
“Yes, but who are you?” I asked being so confused. I mean how would you act if a guy you don’t even know took you out of a dance and make some creep leave you alone.
“Oh Sorry. Brett. My name is Brett.” He said while sticking out his hand. I shook his hand.
“How do I know you?” I asked.
“I’ve seen you around the school and I noticed you were hanging out with Josh.” He said while looking at his feet. I could tell he was nervous.
“What does that have to do with you?” I asked trying not to be too nosey.
“He use to be dating my sister Michelle. He was a real creep to her. He was really mean and I know Michelle is mean too but he was like physically mean.” He said, less nervously.
“I found that out pretty quick.” I told him. I thought Brett was really cute. He had black hair hair that moved when he did. He also was wearing a dress shirt and pants.
“Yeah. Do you need a ride home?” He asked with a crooked little grin.
“That would be nice.”I told him. When we got to his car there was a boy in the drivers seat. He wasn’t much older than 17. I’ve seen him in school. Brett walked me to my door when we reached my house. He told me that I look good and that he would like to go on a date with me. I told him that sounded good and he gave me a kiss on the cheek and left. I don’t know why but for some reason I really wanted to learn some more about that boy. He was mysterious and there are not even words I can use to describe him. The next day in school I found a letter in my locker.
Emily,
I had a lot of fun yesterday, although we didn’t spend much time together. I want to go to the movies. I’m going to see the movie Red and I wanted you to accompany me. Anyway you really don’t have a choice so I will pick you up at 5.
Brett
The letter made me laugh. He was so up front. Susan said he was in 10th grade. She also said that Michelle is not going to be happy. I could care less on wether she was mad that I was going on a date with her older brother. When Brett picked me up the next day we went straight to the movies. Brett was a gentlemen at the movies. He put his arm around me but that was about it. He didn’t try any moves either. After we left the theaters I didn’t want to go home just yet so we walked on the beach just before sunset. We walked and talked. It was really nice. He told me about how he had to put up with Michelle and how he thought it was really great when I stood up to Michelle when she tripped that kid.
“Its getting late. I have to go, my brother is in the car waiting. I had an amazing time.” Brett said giving me a hug and a small kiss. After the kiss our eyes locked and we kissed again and then again. He pulled my body close. It was a chilly night but his body felt so warm. After a few minutes I told him I should go. He said yeah and then headed in the opposite direction of his truck. I thought that I made a bad decision when I told him I had to go. I think he thought that he was moving to fast but he really wasn’t. I could’t get that kiss out of my mind. It was so powerful but memorizing at the same time. Susan wanted to know everything that happened the next day at school.
“I’m sorry Susan but I don’t kiss and tell.” I said.
“Omg! You kissed! Em you naughty dog.” She said laughing. I told her yes. Later that day when I was at my locker Brett came up behind me and put in hands on my eyes.
“Guess who?” Brett asked.
“Johnny is that you?” I asked being smart.
“Very funny.” Brett said. We held hands and walked to French. The French teacher asked me to go up in front of the class and say something in french.
“Bonjour Mon amie. Comment talle vous?” I said in front of the class to Brett. Brett stood up.
“Bien, et toi?” He asked me with a smile that could light up the whole state.
“Bien.” I said then the teacher clapped and we sat down.
“Thank you Brett and Emily for that amazing french.” Mr. Carroll said. When we got out class Brett and I were holding hands until we saw Michelle in the hallway coming towards us.
“Brett! What are you doing with the new girl?” Michelle said pulling him away from me.
“Aw. Michelle why are you jealous?” I said in a mocking voice. I knew it bugged Michelle.
“Michelle, I think you should leave.” Brett continued. “Susan is amazing and you have no say in who I date.”
“Oh so you’re dating her now. Come on Brett. All of us know this is just another one of your charity cases.” Michelle said.
“Michelle you can go and stick it! I could care less on what you think of me. So leave me alone! You will be sorry if you want to mess with me. Thats a promise not a threat!” I told her. Brett didn’t know there was a mean side to me and I could tell he was surprised. When Brett and I walked away I heard Michelle say to Destiny that if that little twitch wanted war she’ll get one. I wasn’t scared but mostly amused.

CHAPTER 5
Brett called me the next day. He said that Michelle gave him crap about seeing me but he said I was worth it. I talked to him about meeting my parents. He said that his parents were weird like that too but his were the opposite of mine. They hated privet schools and thought they were over rated. He said his parents are rich and liked charities. Brett didn’t take me as being a rich kid because most of them are spoiled but he’s not. He is nice and he is not those phony guys that want one thing and one thing only. I started to feel light headed today. I don’t know why but my parents say its nothing to worry about. Nothing new happened in school except when I opened my lock jello fell all over my head and clothes. The rest of the day I had to wear my gym clothes. My parents cannot know about this they will get way to crazy about nothing. On my way home I stopped at a store and picked up something that I will make due with till I get home. I knew who did it butI couldn’t prove anything because we had lunch out side on the football field and she could have slide in then. Brett was furious. He said he would talk to her but I told him not to because it wouldn’t help. When I got home my Mom and Dad were waiting for me.
“Honey you’re turning 14 this week and we have some stuff to talk to you about.” My Mom said. I knew what they were meaning. This is the point in every teenagers life were its the most embarrassing.
“Please don’t tell me we are having ‘the talk’. I know about the ‘birds and the bees’ so to speak. I do have health class and they don’t skip around the facts.” And I wasn’t kidding about the health class thing. My teacher Mrs. Leigh always puts pictures of the ‘body’ and we recently learned about female and male things.
“We still have to talk to you about this and this is not a thing we want to be doing either.” My Dad said looking jittery. “Now if you ever doing stuff, you need to be protected and”
“Oookaaayyy!” I said jumping out of my seat and going upstairs. I didn’t even give my Dad time to finish saying what he was but I didn’t want to know what he was saying. Since when do girls and boys start sleeping around at the age of 14. Well I’m almost 14 and my Mom is 30 so that means she had done it when she was 15 and I doubt that was her first time. Anyway I really don’t want to think about it.
Brett was already 16 I think. He hasn’t met my parents yet and I think they will notice the age difference because I think he is 6 ‘8’.
I went to Brett’s house after school one day. I came 30 minutes early. His parents were not home, I think they went on a business trip. When I went to Brett’s room I found him in bed with Rosemary. She is his neighbor. I slammed the door and left. He ran after me without his shirt on.
“Wait! I can explain!” He said running after me.
“There is nothing you could say to explain why you would do something like that. I know I’m only 14 and I’m not ready yet but you said you would wait. I trusted you!” I was starting to get tears in my eyes.
“She was just over to do a project with me.” He said pulling on a shirt.
“Yeah. Some project.” I said walking down the street. “Don’t call, don’t text, don’t talk to me. I through with you. I will contact the police if you try to have any contact. You have been warned.” I ran into the bus and never looked back. The only thing that was going through my mind was he said he would wait. I felt horrible, I wasted so much time on him. When I got home late that say my parents were waiting for me.
“Emily honey. We have great news.” My Mom said with my Dad really close to her. I went to the fridge to get a soda. They were kinda freaking me out because they were really happy and hardly even sat close together but at this point I was pretty lifeless.

CHAPTER 6
“I’m pregnant!” My Mom says standing up. She acted like she was happy. What is she on crack or something.
“I thought we were going to tell her together, dear.” My Dad put in.
“Let me get this straight. You were worried that I was going to get pregnant and have sex but now your pregnant. Wow this is f*** up.” I said.
“Emily Rae! I will wash your mouth out with soap. We do not use that language in this house!” My Father was furious. I went to my room and didn’t come out till that morning. Susan said that she met my parents and she don’t believe it. I told her what happened with Brett too. She said it was probably Michelle. I told her that Michelle can’t make a girl get in bed with him and him like it. She agreed. Susan has a brother in 10th grade. She tried hooking me up. The weird thing was that it worked. His name is Troy Luke McHire. I think thats a really cool name. He has black hair and wears black clothes. He is really cute and we have a lot in common. We both are misunderstood. His mother is pregnant too but she is due in a few weeks. He said Susan and him are really close.
ONE YEAR LATER
I turn 15 today. Troy and Susan is at my house to celebrate it with me. Troy and I lay under the stars for lord knows how long. I see troy sit up and lean towards me.
“I love you.” Troy said. His baby blue eyes shined in the moonlight. He kissed me and I didn’t want it to stop. There was something about this kiss. It lasted forever. That night was very special. I lost my virginity. I was over powered by that kiss. I had so many feelings at once. I wanted to tell Susan but I couldn’t. It was her brother.
FIVE YEARS LATER
I’m in a dressing room. I hear chattering outside. I’m wearing white. My Mother is behind me fixing my hair. Susan is putting on my earrings. This is my wedding day. As I walk down the isle I look at Troys face. He looks amazed. I know he is the one I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.
THE END
