Am I the ONLY ONE Who Doesn't Know A SINGLE Thing About Taylor Lautner?(11)

The rest of the week was flashing by-not normal-but I guess, soon would be-being photographed,being followed to and from work,even to school,rumors spreading like wildfire-about me and taylor,of course.No calls from Boo boo,which wasn't bugging me at the moment.
Today is...Wednesday,cold wednesday of January.At baseball.
Not a day goes by my friends don't bug me about Taylor.Taylor This,Taylor that.Couldn't they just leave the topic aside?No.Damn the world.Damn the world and all its inhabitants.
Of course,Like the rumors weren't bad enough,Taylor texted me,as soon as I got out of school,while filming...Etc.
And,I wasn't going to be rude and not text back-I wasn't allowed to do that.
Oh yes,My friends.Taking over my life one text at a time.
Sucks that they're older than me-I should really get friends my age,who will maybe not act like there's a foot shoved up their ass and have to tell me what to do because of it.
Worse-and when I said it was my life,They thought I was being a bit(h.
Great.
The perfect person to help me get the rumors with Taylor off my back was each Day a little clearer-but I wasn't going to be the one to ask him out until it was absolutely necassary.
Boo Boo. Boo Boo "Nils" Stewart.
The bad part of this was that those would start new rumors-rumors of me and Boo boo.
The kid was cute, though,and my age-which might be a little more...handle-able.
Is that even a word?Handle-able?
More to the point-I'm sitting on a bench,at the batting cages,waiting until it was my turn,something I was not looking forward to.
Catch?Yes.
Throw?Yes.
Bat?Not Really.
To my Luck,the bell rang,saving me,sending me to lunch.
My period of Saviour would end the second my friends found me.
Which is...Now.
The only good part of this week,was that I was now street legal-and,my own car.A very nice,expensive car-payed off with my new debit card-which held my paycheck.
The amount I payed for the car didn't even make a dent.
This weeks paycheck was about 2 million-and I was being payed 8 million for the entire movie.
Not that I needed the money-Heck,I already had 5 different credit cards.
And first in line for my dad's fortune-first borned,first served.
Not that money ever mattered.
Not to me,At least.
"Alyson! Wake up!"Katrina yelled.
"Sorry."
"You know...you should consider buying a car.And let me borrow it."
Yes,I was not driving my car.Yet.And I was still walking to school-and Alex driving me to and from work.
I was going to wait...Poor car was locked,all alone,in my garage...Where my fathers Cars used to be.
All my fathers 'Toys' had been sent to one of the other houses-if you can really call them that.Where we lived was a house-the others were a little to extensive to be called houses.Too many acres.Too many to count.
My father was such an extensive shopper-15 different properties around the country-10 different cars.
Not to mention all the shit my mom gave me for buying the car.
About spending to much,not needing it...too much luxury,I was raised differently,blah,blah,blah.
Of course,The money,the car never mattered.But I wasn't going to be driving around in a rusty old Toyota either.
And...Neither was Alex.
His parents also gave him crap-for not letting them pay for it.
Alex,So spoiled,The only child.
Not to mention his Dad-Secretely-bought him another car,not as expensive,but he said it was for driving his 'friends' around.
So besides haveing a model of the year Bentley Continental Supersports, in white, he also had a brand new Chevy Tahoe,in red.
Not that I cared. Of course,Trying to save his oh-so-important Bentley from 'the child',me,He drove around the Tahoe.
Not That I cared.Not That I bought a more-than-$200,000 car.
No,I was not that expensive.
I bought a 192,000-dollar car.And still got more crap for it.
Amazing,Right?
"Alice,Will you please try to act like you care about our conversation?"
"No.I like my head better."
Katrina shook her head.
Sigh...My brand New Ferrari California was sitting at home...All alone...
Such a pretty shade of Dark blue.
Money well spent.
"Aww,So cute.I bet she's thinking of Taylor."
That blew it.Blew me over the top.
"That's it!I can't take it anymore!Isn't there a single cell in your brain that tells you to shutup?Why can't you understand!There is nothing, nothing between me and taylor! And there will never be anything!And I refuse to take crap for it!"
I felt so free now.Not holding anything in my chest.
Katrina and Bridget stared at me,amazed.Alex held a smug smile,playing with fries.
"Now, If you'll excuse me,I'd like to go home and not be disturbed." I said,grabbing my stuff.
Thats what I wanted.To walk.To Walk my thoughts away.
"Alex?Tell Cathy I'm sick,I'm sorry."
I headed towards the exit-no papparazi here yet,making this a good escape.I practically ran through the parking lot.Once I got to the sidewalk,safe,safe,sidewalk,I slowed to a walk,so people wouldn't think I was so crazy.5 blocks.Thats all I had to speed walk to see my precious car.
In less than 10 minutes,I was at home.I hurried with my keys,fumbling with the door.As soon as I opened it, I rushed into the kitchen.
"Hey...Mom."She was sitting at the table...home for lunch.Shit.
"Would you like to tell me what you're doing home?"
"Early Day?"I said,but it kinda sounded like a question.
"Why?"
"Jewish holiday or something.I don't know."
"Are you cutting class?"She said,serious.
"I couldn't take it anymore,mom.I'm sorry.Everyone was giving me hell,and-"
"Alright,alright.I gotta get back.But don't make this a habbit."
"Yes mother,"I said,straight faced.
"Good."She raised,placed her plate in the sink,headed towards the garage,and sped out.I went to go praise my car.
Her sleek design...her paint...her perfect,bulletproof windows...
I pulled the remote out of my pocket.Not even a key necessary.
I got in,hit the button,and listened to her loud,vibrant purr.I wanted to take it for a drive...but I didn't want to get noticed...yet.
That day was coming.
Of course,being the girl I was,I needed the perfect outfit.And,a whole bunch of other ones to fill my closet.Not that there was any space to put them in.I just needed an excuse to do something outside of filming.
My phone started ringing,ignoring my gloating.Brand new text message,from Katrina.I couldn't resist opening it.
It was a link.
And I could not resist opening that link.
And then I wish I hadn't.It was a stupid article on Taylor Lautner.
Curiosity spiked,and I read it.Just the Title.Thats all.
Kristen Confesses-Taylor L and Dakota F Flirt on Set!
There.Thats all.Nothing but that.
Nothing but a strange burning in my chest.
A strange,pesky burning in my chest.
And I didn't know what this was.
But something I did recognize-apart from the burning-Anger.
Not at 'Kristen' or 'Taylor' or 'Dakota'.At Katrina.At all that bunch of idiots who don't understand when I say enough is enough.I'm tired of all there bull.Worst part was she texted,and I coudln't help but read the text.Again.
Ur BF is cheating on u...srry
"Why can't they shutup?"I whined.Great.Now I was talking to myself.
Maybe...If I just revved the engine...
Her purr was not calming me anymore.I shut her off and slowly,softly shut her door.
I ran to my room,threw my back pack at the wall,set my phone on the dresser next to my bed,and layed down.
I just wanted to be alone,locked in my own world.
Where no one would bug me.
I stared out the window,looking at the palm trees sway lightly in the cold winter wind...The waves crashing on the sand.
I was able to concentrate...until my phone started going insane.
Text messages from everyone.Well,4 of the ongoing lists of contacts.
Katrina: rnt u gonna text back?
Bridget: Hah,ur BF is a cheater
Alex: U ok?U sorta stormed off.
Taylor: Hey,wtsup?
The four people I especially did not want to hear from.
Besides their annoying texts,I recieved a text from my little sister Sarah.
Cn u pick me up today?In ur new car?pls?
Ill pick u up in one of moms. i sent back.No reason to ignore her.She was not up my ass.Yet.
aww.not gonna use the ferrari
not yet.
k then.Can we go 2 da mall after?I want to go,wit my new buddy.she live far and her momma not pikin her up till 7.she already asked. pls?
w.e.
yay i love you!
no you dont
i know
Up my ass yet? Check.
Of course,her foot wasn't as deep as the rest of them.
Yeesh,thats a horrible mental image.
But point taken.
So,Not only do I have to put up with Sarah,I have to put up with one of her friends.
It was 2:40 now,and she got out at three exactly.
I grabbed mom's mercades,-She was aloud to drive sports cars,and left her family car at home.Damn her stupid Nissan GTR.Cheaper,true,but my car has better suspension and a better rating.Blegh-and headed out towards Via Pacifica Middle. Blegh.Even the name yelled Eww.
I pulled into one of the closer parking spots,and got honked at.
Did everyone have to give me crap?
I dropped my head into my hands.I heard the stupid bell ring,and pulled my head up,and got out of the car,went around,and waited by the passenger door,like a propper host.
And then I found myself uncomfortable when kids started pointing at me...snapping pictures with there phones...Damn Private school kids.
A few of them came up to me.
"Ohemgee!You are like,Alyson Reyes!"
Ghetto kids."Yeah,I am."
"What are you doing here?Ohemgee,Did my parents pay you to pick me up?"
"Uh,no.I'm here to pick my little sister up."
"Can you drive me home?"
"No.Sorry,I don't want to get charges pressed against me for kidnapping you."
"But we're your little sisters friends?"
"Yeah,Whats my little sister's name?"
"Umm...Katherine?"
"No.Sorry."
"Please?"
"Go home,Please.I need to leave."
The kids left,disapointed.I didn't want to disapoint them,I just wasn't in the best mood.And what the hell was Sarah doing that was taking so long?
She finally approached the damn gate.I motioned for her to hurry.She speed walked,along with a girl following close behind.
"Faster,Sarah,I don't have all day."I called.
"I'm going,I'm going."she said,annoyed."This is Makenna."She said,pointing to the girl next to her.
"Nice to meet you."I said,shaking her hand.
"Your...Alyson...Reyes?"She asked.
"Yupp.The very same.Please tell me your not excited to meet me,or going to give me crap about anything.I've had enough of that today,sorry to be so rude."
"Nope,with a brother like mine,you get used to it."
I didn't even want to know what that meant.Sarah was about to get into the passenger front seat.
"Ah,No.Get in back,Sarah."I said,smiling.This was all about embarassing her now.
"Fine."She whined,joining Makenna in the back seat.
"So which mall do you guys want to go to?"
"Westfield Manhattan."
"Whatever."
I drove them to the damn mall and waited around as they went to the stores they liked.Of course,I was paying for Sarah,and When It was Makenna's turn,she started pulling out cash.I pushed her out of the way,and slid a credit card as quick as I could.
"What the hell?"She asked,trying not to be rude.
"Dude,chill.As long as you ride with my sister,She will not go down until she pays for everything."Sarah said,smiling.
What a statement.And I knew I was also supposed to be shopping for myself-but nothing caught my eye,in this store,at least.
We went to a different store,and thats where I really got stocked with outfits.And so did My sister and Makenna.I decided to pay all together this time,what was the point?
We went through the whole mall-until I got hungry.
"Can we please just go to this last store and then go get you something to eat?"Sarah Begged.
"You know what? I'll meet you guys there.Ima go get some food."I said,heading to the nearest food franchise.I grabbed something quick-a pretzel-and headed towards the store they were at.There was a group of guys-cute guys,guys that went to my school-outside the door of the store.They were cracking very perverted jokes and laughing like idiots.But they quieted down once they saw me.
Which was never a good thing,In my opinion.Makenna was closest-she was practicly at the entrance,in hearing distance.
"Hey,Sexy.What's it gonna take to get that ass in my bed?"The cutest one-obviously the leader-said.I could feel myself turn bright red,but pushed my way through them anyway.
Stupid,obnoxious guys.
Makenna looked at me, confused.
I shrugged it off,waiting for these kids.We'd gone through the entire mall and bought something at almost every store that sold clothing.
And as soon as we were exiting the damn store,I caught their attention,again.
"Hey Baby,I'll buy you whatever you like,just le'mme tap that,"The same guy said.
Again,Makenna looked at me,Sarah laughed,and I blushed.
And then That dude slapped my butt.I gasped,and wanted to hit him,so bad,but I was being watched now.
"Stupid bit(h."I cussed,under my breath.I rushed out passed the girls,heading towards the exit.
Damn Guys.Damn Guys that have nothing better to do but check out girls at the mall.
As soon as I was home I headed to my room,and my phone was still going insane.
There were so many missed texts,voicemails,and calls.
I read the ones from Alex;The least annoying of all.
Hey.
Dude,Katrina Says ur not anserin her txts.
She says she's sorry
Cathy Says it ok just be here 2moro

Almost.
Sorry,took Sarah and one of her frend 2 da mall.

I ignored that text.
I then read the texts from Katrina.

And Then Bridget.
Dude dont be a dik.Answer me

Mmm,maybe.Not now,have little people to attend
K,good...night I guess.
It wasn't till then that I reallized it was almost six.And there was a pile of bags in the corner of my room.And I had to pick up my munchkins from DayCare.Usually My mom leaves for work after my sister or me gets home,leaves the munchkins with us.But,considering that she was home for lunch and the twins were not in sight,they were at daycare.
"Sarah!"I called.
"What?"
"Be right back.Going to go get the twins."
"Oh,yeah,mom told me to tell you.Sorry,Forgot."
"Its okay.I figured it out."I said,heading out.
As soon as I was at the Daycare center,I saw my munchkins covered in applesauce.As soon as they saw me- they screamed in excitement.I got them cleaned up,signed them out,took them home,fed them some real food,put on some cartoons,and headed upstairs.Six-thirty.I went into Sarah's room,just busting through the door.They were watching TV.
"Hasn't anyone told you to knock on a door before you go in?"Sarah asked,annoyed.
"You never knock on my door,"I said,smiling.
Makenna chuckled quietly."Same thing with my brother."
"By the way,your stuff is in my room...So...And it's six thirty.Makenna,Does your mom know where to pick you up,or should I drop you off?"
"Yeah,I texted her earlier."She smiled.She was so nice.
I considered trading Sarah.
No.Bad.You do not trade your sibblings no matter how annoying they are.
"Ok.C'mon,Makenna."Sarah said,Heading towards my room.
"Did you finish your homework?"
"Did you finish Your homework?"Sarah Acused.
"Hey,Mine isn't due until friday.So hah."
"Yes,I finished my homework."
"Kay,good."
They started looking through the bags.I continued to check my phone for updates.
Missed calls...3 from Katrina...one from Alex...One from my aunt Tamara-Obviously not for me-My mom hardly ever answered her phone.And,Tamara lived in Virginia.Not that distance was a problem for visiting her often,it was the fact that her 17th century house freaks us out-especially the basement.And there was not a time she did not make me go down to the basement-And I would tell my mom to call her.And...4 from Taylor.
Well,he was really bored.
I then Listened to the voicemails.
One of Katrina's was the most recent-about an hour ago.I listened to that one first.
Hey,Dude,listen,I'm sorry...I wont bug you about it,just don't be like this.Stop ignoring us,you cant keep running away from us.We won't talk about him unless you bring him up...promise...call me as soon as you get this.
That was enough.She needed to suffer.The rest of her voice mails were similar.
And then there was one from Taylor.
Hey,Listen,If I did or said anything to make you mad,Im sorry...just...dont ignore me,im bored.And everyone else I talk to isn't as funny as you are,so just...text back.
And Then Aunt Tamara.
Hey,Sweety,Can you tell your Momma I called?And to please call me back ASAP.THanks.
Couldn't they all be Like Aunt Tamara?Short,Simple,and to the point?
And as for Taylor...He has a lot of people to talk to.Why worry about me?I mean yeah,Im funny...but...Can't He call George Lopez or something?
Not that talking to him bugged me,just that...we don't need another damn 'source' for the paparazi to go overboard.
I sighed.
"Whats wrong?"Makenna asked.Which Scared me,because my sister should be asking me whats wrong.
Is it to late to take Sarah back to the nursery and Trade her in for something of more value?
Kidding.But seriously.
"Nothing,nothing."
Suddenly,there was a knock-knock-knock on the door.I rushed downstairs to open it.
Not someone I recognized-Probably Makenna's Mom.
"Hi,I'm Deborah,Call me Deb.I came to pick up my daughter...Makenna?"
"Hi,Oh,Yeah,She's up stairs,with my sister.Would you like to come in?"I offered,trying to be polite.I stepped away,not blocking the entrance anymore.
"Sure."
I led her to the living room.
"I'm Sorry,you look familiar.What's your name?"
"Alyson,"I said,hoping she would not react in the sort of fan way.
"Reyes?"She asked.
"Yes."
"Well,It's nice to meet you,"She smiled.
"Nice to meet you to.Would you like Some coffee?Water?Anything to drink?"I asked,Heading towards the kitchen.
"Water,"She smiled.I grabbed her a glass of water.
"I'll go call Makenna,"I said,smiled,and rushed up the stairs.They were still in my room.
"Makenna,Your mom is here."I said,Smiling.I helped her with her bags-they wer only like-four,plus her backpack.
"Oh,you went shopping?"Her mom asked.
"Yeah,with Alice and Sarah."
"Funny,I don't remember your brother giving you as much money.Or us.All that looks expensive."
"Oh...Alice Paid.My sister refuses to let anyone else pay as long as she's around."Sarah Chimed in,On the stairs.She waved.
"Makenna..."
"It's okay,It honestly doesn't matter.A friend of my sister's is a friend of mine."
Makenna's mom sighed."Just like your father.Always wanted to pay for everything."
I smiled at first,but then I was confused.I felt my eybrows pinch together-how did she know my father?
Oh,wait, everyone knew my father.
"At least let me pay you back,"She sighed.
"No,honestly,it's okay.It does not matter,it wasn't much to begin with."I smiled,content with myself.
She sighed again."Well,is your mom home?I would have loved to see her again,"She said.
"Actually,She's at work.She'll be here in about an hour,though."
"Well,Makenna,It's a long drive to Valencia.Goodnight,Alice.Thankyou.Oh,and I was wondering...My son won't be able to pick her up at all this week,and I don't get out of work until after three,and,It's a two hour drive,you wouldn't mind if she stayed here?Just for the rest of the week?She doesn't enjoy staying in afterschool programs."
"Oh,It's okay.But,I won't be home,But I can call in sick.I'm not filming much this week,anyway."
"Oh,no,If you have to work,that's okay,She can..."
"No,Its okay,honest."
"Are you sure its okay?"
"Totally.I needed a little more bonding time with the family,anyway."
"Thankyou so much.You remind me so much of your father."
Emmm...I didn't know what to say to that.More confusion."It's okay,honest."
"Thankyou so much,"She smiled.
I just smiled.
"Well,I have to go."She said,heading towards the door.
"Goodnight,"I smiled.
"Goodnight,"Makenna said,smiled,and waved.
