Nothings Gonna Change My World..

Or will it?

"Rita." Callie breathed, she had just run from her locker all the way to mine, which is 2 hallways away.
"What?" I asked, terrified, ever since my sister, Prudence, has been in a coma, I'm starting to think that I'm the 'bad-luck-charm' of the Randomly Retro Girls.
"Guess.WHAT." She breathed heavily.
"What?" I asked.
"Karaoke.Today.At.Lunch." I gave her a water bottle from my locker and she took it and gulped it down in less than thirty seconds.
"Really? Cool!" I smiled, singing isn't my thing. Heck, music really isn't my thing, I have a passion for writing. Music is for Molly, Charity, Chrissa, and..........

Prudence.

Bad luck charm. My inner voice scowled.

I shook it off, just in time for Callie to respond.

"Yeah..." She looked one way.
"But, you're in Chorus! You LOVE music, don't you?" I asked, confused.
"Yeah, but I love listening to music more. Which is why I'm not going to." She explained.
"Oh, well you'd be awesome at it. But it's your cho-" I was cut off.

"Sapphire." A voice interjected.
I saw Callie's face go sour, so I turned around.
"Oh hey, Chris!" I smiled, greeting the boy whom I had met on the first day.

We haven't talked much since then.
"Where are you going?" He asked, his big bright hazel eyes sparkled.
"Oh, History. Ugh." I rolled my eyes. I felt Callie's eyes burning into the back of my own.
"Good luck. I heard Henderson's giving out a HUGE test today." He informed me.
"Oh joy." I sighed.
"Well, good luck Sapphire. Catch ya later." He shot me a smile then walked away.

I looked in his direction, unsure of how I felt for him.
Do I like him? Is he my friend?

I was just about to answer that question when.
"MARITA KENLEY PILCHARD!" Shot through my ears.
I jumped then turned my attention to Callie.
"Shout louder, I think they didn't hear you in CHINA!" I retorted.
"Do you know who you were talking to?" She asked.
"Yeah, Chris. He's my friend." I smiled.
"No, that's Chris Jenkins. The school jerk. Each semester he finds one new girl and acts like he's her friend and gets her to fall in love with him. But what ends up happening is that she gets caught up in this crazy unrequited love situation, and dies alone housing 29 cats." Callie explained.
"I highly doubt ALL of that happens. Especially the 29 cats part." I rolled my eyes, shutting my locker and beginning the path toward History Class.
"Well, most of it happens." Callie appeared at my side again.
"Well, it won't happen to me." I stated.
"Oh Rita, poor, stupid Rita." Callie began.
"Feelings!" I intervened.
"You're just his type, the type that he destroys, that is." Callie patted my shoulder.
"Callie, Chris is my friend, and friends don't hurt their other friends. Okay?" I asked.
"Sure, but promise me one thing?" Callie asked.
"What?" I asked back.
"When he breaks your heart, I get to hit him with a bus." Callie said, then walked away, not caring for an answer.

I just rolled my eyes and walked into History.

Chris won't hurt me. He doesn't seem like it.

Well either way, something HAS changed my world, sadly.

Here we go......

When All Else Fails

"FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" I hopped on my bed and yelled.

Monday was, in fact, my first day of school at AGPPA.

And.I.Was.Excited.

I had the PERFECT outfit planned, I knew EXACTLY where all of my classes were, I had Callie and Cindie in all of my classes, and it felt like a good day.

My outfit was Julie's Calico Dress. Boots and all, just not the bandanna.

I got dressed, ate breakfast, got ready and headed out the door and towards my first day of school.

[-:-]

-LAST PERIOD-

Today was a disaster.
Lunch sucked, none of my teachers can pronounce my name right, all the kids seem to hate me, I got a hole in my shoe, and it's snowing.


And now, I was late.

To MATH.

I fixed my curls, and headed from my locker to Mr. Johnaldson's class.


Oh look,
it's on THE OTHER END OF THE SCHOOL.

Here we go again. I thought in my mind and rolled my eyes.

I grabbed my books and pretty much ran to the other end of the school.

I looked at the clock, wow! I might actually make i-

BAM!

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized, looking up at the person I ran into.
"You better watch where you're going, next time." The other person warned.

He had hazel eyes and light blond hair. He was wearing a grey hoodie jacket and blue jeans with tennis shoes.
I blinked my eyes.


Just another pretty boy, Rita. Nothing to waste your time on.


"Gee thanks." I growled, then picked up my books and left.
"Wait!" He said, running after me.
"Where are you going?" He asked, his hazel eyes were light and right then, they were shining.
"Mr. Johnaldson's class. " I sighed, struggling to hold up the heavy weight of the Math book.
"Do you need help?" He asked, looking at my struggle.
"I can handle it by myself, thank you very much. But thanks, I guess." I sighed, finally getting the book to look normal in my hands.
"Well, you're welcome. I guess." He added, mocking me.
"Wow, what are you like seven?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"No, Sapphire." He sneered.
"What's that supposed to mean, Sapphire?" I asked.
"You're eyes are Sapphire blue. Duh." He rolled his eyes.
"Duh? Don't girls say that?" I asked.
"Yep. Boys too." He said.
"Well, you don't seem like a boy. Just a very ugly girl." I snapped.
"Ooh, touchy." He put his hands up.
"Well, lookie here, I'm here and.." I looked at the clock. "Five minutes late. Thanks......." I trailed off, wondering if he ever told me his name.
"Chris Jenkins." He said, cooly.
"Rita Pilchard." I replied.
"Well bye, Rita." He waved, then left.

I looked in his direction, and I watched him leave.

I was confused.

"Ms. Pilchard! Do you realize you are fi-" Mr. Johnaldson said, storming out of the class.
"Sorry, I got lost." I lied.
"Oh, well, come on in!" He smiled, then held open the door for me.


School might not be so bad after all?

Arrival

"Here you are." A lady said.

I was in a Brown Shipment box, on the way to one Melanie's house.
She picked up my box, which contained me and a couple of outfits, and walked to Melanie's doorstep.
She placed me down ever so slightly then left.


The butterflies in my stomach multiplied.


"OHMYGOD!" A stuffy voice yelled, then picked me up and took me inside.

"RITA RITA RITA RITA!" The voice screamed.

She's a spaz..........

AWESOME!!!

She got a knife, opened the shipment box, opened all of the outfits, then picked me up.

I went face-to-face with a smiling girl with light brown hair in a bun and pretty blue eyes. I smiled.

Melanie.

"Hi Rita!" She smiled, then began to open me.

-;-

"LOVELY RITAAAAAA METERR MAID!" Melanie screamed. She was home alone, she was sick, and she was ecstatic for getting me.

I was placed by a doll with Long platinum blonde hair and chocolate eyes, a doll with grey eyes and wavy brown hair, a doll with short black hair with red highlights and brown eyes, and a doll with curly brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Rita?" The blonde girl asked.
"Is it you?" Grey eyes asked.
"I think it is!" Hazel eyes smiled.
"Me too!" Red highlights exclaimed.

"H-h-hi, I'm Rita Pilchard" I stuttered.
"RITA!" They all exclaimed and hugged me.

I soon learned that the girl with the blonde hair is Julia and is HILARIOUS!
The girl with grey eyes and wavy hair is named Molly, and she's got MAJOR talent.
The girl with red highlights is named Jess and she has pretty much been EVERYWHERE!
Finally, I learned that the girl with curly hair is named Becca, who is kind of a snob, but means well.

I have other sisters too! I'm the thirteenth doll! I feel so special. I always wanted to have a bunch of sisters, and now... Here I am!

LOVELY RITA HAS ARRIVED!

They Love Me

"DONE!" I exclaimed. I finished my math homework.

Note to Rita;

MATH ISN'T YOUR FRIEND.

"QUICK EVERYONE WORKERS! GET INTO YOUR BOXES!" A blonde doll yelled to everyone.

The factory went into hysterics.

I, already sitting in my box, just put on the lid and took everything inside it.

A worker walked down and put a piece of paper on 4 dolls.

"Huhm" He said, looking at all of the #33's.
"Where's this Rita?" He asked.

My.Heart.Skipped.A.Beat.

"Oh here!" He exclaimed, picking up my box.

My eyes bulged open.
I cracked the top open and looked out for Sonny, Kenna, Annie, and Mikayla.

They started running after the man.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Sonny yelled.
"I THINK I'M GETTING ADOPTED!" I exclaimed.

They all stopped.
I stopped too.

Did.I.Just.Say.I.Was.Getting.Adopted.?

Me, Marita Kenley Pilchard, the unadoptable.

GETTING ADOPTED?

They all started cheering.

"RITA! RITA! RITA!" They chanted.

Sooner or later, everyone in the whole factory started chanting MY name!

I waved to everyone.
"RITA! Stay true to yourself out there in the real world, alright?" Sonny asked.
"And Tell Melanie that we're still here!" Kenna added.
"And don't forget to write on your blog EVERYDAY!" Annie smiled.
"Don't forget us! Sure, you're going to a home and all, but remember," Mikayla trailed off.

"WE LOVE YOU MARITA PILCHARD!" They all chorused.

I blinked back tears.

"I love you too!" My voice cracked.
The man turned the corner and opened the doors and all the views of the factory were gone forever.


MELANIE!
HERE.I.COME!

S-S-S-S-SCHOOL?

"Come ON, Lovely Rita!" Sonny groaned, dragging me to the front doors.

on Friday, I started School.

"I don't want to do it" I narrowed my eyes.
"WELL TOO BAD!" Sonny yelled. She has wanted to go to School ever since Molly brought it up.
"I don't think this is such a good idea" Kenna whispered.

Sonny and I stopped dead in our tracks and stared at Kenna.
"McKenna Beth Walters-" Sonny started.
"Sonny, I have a confession." Kenna sighed.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Actually it's two." Kenna's teal eyes were focused on her shoes.
"And they are..?" Sonny asked.
"One is that my last name really ISN'T Walters. It's Applee." Kenna sighed.

Sonny stood there for a moment, silent.

"Wow, the great Alison Harrison has shut her mouth" I joked.
Sonny swatted me. "Shurrup, Pillie"
"Are you mad?" Kenna asked, innocently.
"No! I actually like it better than Walters" Sonny brought Kenna into a hug.
"Why did you go by Walters though?" I asked.
"Because, I was kind of ashamed of the name Applee when I was younger. It was just so different. But now I know, thanks to you two, that being different is a good thing." Kenna smiled.
"Oh! I like the name Applee better than Walters" I smiled, agreeing with Sonny.

"What's the other confession?" Sonny asked.
"I don't like school" Kenna breathed.
"What? I thought you were ECSTATIC to get to school!" Sonny explained.
"Yeah, you were all smiles when Molly announced it." I exclaimed.
"It was a fake smile" Kenna sighed.
"Kenna Applee, a FAKE smile?" Sonny asked.
Kenna nodded.
"Well, don't let it happen again with the fake smile" Sonny wagged her finger at Kenna.
"Why don't you like school?" I asked, cutting to the chase.
"Kids used to make fun of me. They'd call me 'fatso' and crap like that." Kenna's teal eyes filled with tears.
"Oh Kenna!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms around her and bringing her in for a hug.
"Anyone who hurts you, hurts me." Sonny sighed.
"Sonny, are you..... crying?" Kenna asked.
"No! I'm sweating through my eyes." Sonny said, turning away.
Kenna and I shared a knowing look.

"Come on, let's get to school before this mush-fest kills me." Sonny intended.
"Sure thing" Kenna and I said.

I looked at my schedule.
"I have Art Club as an Electives." I announced.
"I have Soccer" Kenna said.
"I have Book Bash." Sonny sighed.
"BOOK BASH? There must've been a mistake" Kenna joked.

Sonny HATES books.

"Oh hey! Look, we all have the same homeroom together" I said, looking at their schedules.
"CHORUS!" We all sang in unison and ran to the auditorium.

-Chorus post. will.come.later. :]-

My Belle

After getting "home" (or what home seems to be)
from The AG Shipping&Handling Factory, Sonny, Kenna, and Annabelle had to go with their other #49's, 39's, and 35's.

I slumped off to the 33's area and sat my box up and started decorating it with pictures of Sonny, Kenna, Annabelle, and I.

"ANNIE!" Someone shrieked. I jumped, letting a picture of Sonny and Kenna fly to the ground.
The Factory's Fans made the little picture fly over four sections to the 35's area.
I picked it up and saw a red-head bear hugging a black-haired girl.
"SHELLY!" Someone else shrieked.

WAIT!
I knew that voice.........!
"Annabelle?" I whispered.

Thankfully they didn't hear me, they just kept hugging each other's brains out.
"It's been TOO LONG, Michelle" Annie smiled.
I looked closer, Annabelle was hugging a #25, supposedly this "Michelle" or "Shelly" Girl.
"I KNOW! We're TWINS for Pete's Sake!" 'Michelle' exclaimed.

TWINS?
Whoa! Too much for Miss Pilchard to handle.
I grabbed onto the wall I was leaning against, I felt faint.

"EXACTLY!" Annie nodded.
"So what have you been up to?" Michelle asked.
"I just got back from the Shipping and Handling Factory. I had a BLAST there!" Annie smiled.
"The Shipping and Handling Factory? Ann, are you feeling alright?" Michelle put her hand on Annabelle's forehead to check if she had a fever.
"Yes I am! It wasn't the place, it was the people I was with" Annie swatted Michelle's hand away like it was disease-filled.
"Who were you with?" Michelle seemed intrigued with the story.
"I was with my new friends, Rita, Alison, and McKenna." Annie explained.
"Cool! They sound really exciting if they make the dang SHIPPING and HANDLING FACTORY fun! Do you think I can meet them?" Michelle's brown eyes sparkled, answering for a question.
"They ARE really exciting! Sonny and Kenna had to escape here with me from the American Girl Place in Denver! Rita had to get here by a TRAIN from New York!" Annabelle smiled.
"Oh really? AWESOME!" Michelle laughed.
"And I think you can meet them either later today or tomorrow, because last I saw them, they were a bit jet-lagged." Annabelle smiled.
"Oh okay!" Michelle nodded.

That's all I heard. I ran back to my box, put up the fly-away picture, got into my Pajama's (taken from the Kanani department, thank-you-very-much) and went to bed, wondering what it would be like if I had a twin.


Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin.

Raise A Glass

"HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELY LITTLE RITA!" Sonny screamed, rushing to me with a HUGE box.
"And Merry Christmas" She smiled.

We all were forced to spend Christmas with our true doll kinds (the #33's for me, the #49's for Sonny and #35's for Annabelle, and the #39's for Kenna) so we couldn't give out presents.

"Merry Christmas and a VERY happy new year, Miss Harrison." I beamed.


Kenna and Annie both arrived and we all shared gifts.


Sonny got;
a blue Beatles shirt (From Annie)
a neon blue pair of skinny jeans (From Me)
and a scrapbook filled of her and Kenna's memories (From Kenna)

Kenna got;
a pink Peace Sign shirt (from Annie)
a neon pink pair of skinny jeans (From Me)
and a pink guitar (From Sonny)

Annie got;
an orange Beatles shirt (From Sonny)
a neon orange pair of skinny jeans (From Me)
and a song book for her music sheets (From Kenna)


"Oh Hey! It's almost 12" Annie pointed to the clock!
"TIME FOR A TOAST!" Sonny annouced.

We all raied our water bottles.
"To good health in 2011" Kenna started
"To happiness in 2011" Annie beamed
"To MONEY in 2011" Sonny joked.
"To getting adopted in 2011" I giggled.

We raised our glasses and toasted.

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" We all screamed then hugged.


Happy New Year Everyone :]
