more time I have to sit the bench at our next game.” “Your usually sitting the bench anyways” Rachel joked around, she knows that Jason is the best pitcher that Buxtonville high school has ever seen. Jason can pitch at a speed of 83 mph. “HA, HA very funny” Jason teases. “ The scout from Florida is going to be here so I’m already nervous as hell .If he likes me then that can almost guarantee me a full ride.” “Well you can count on me being there” Rachel kissed Jason “Meet you in the parking lot after school” She shouted from a distance while they walked separate ways to homeroom.
During math class all Rachel could focus on was what Jason had said and the future. She got worried about what was going to happen when it came time closer to college. Rachel was so far off from reality that her math teacher had called her four times before Rachel even noticed.
“Miss Baker…Miss Baker…Miss Baker…Miss Baker!” Rachel was suddenly interrupted by her math teacher Ms. West. “ Please tell the class what x would equal” “Oh right” said Rachel “23”. Even when Rachel was caught daydreaming she still always knew the answer. “Miss Baker you know that even though you…” RING…RING. Saved by the bell Rachel thought. “Rachel I’d like to see you after class please” yells Ms. West over the shifting of papers and clinking of students closing there binders. “Um you know Ms. West I don’t really have time to talk” Rachel knew that whenever teachers wanted to talk it was always about the same thing, Dana. They never wanted to discuss Rachel’s grades. After all she was a straight A student why would they need to discuss her grades. “Rachel it will just take a minute I will write you a pass if you are late to next period.” “Ugh” as Rachel sighs under her breath walking towards Ms. West. “Are you sure that everything is okay Rachel? I know how hard everything has been with what’s been going on and it’s come to my attention that your parents are getting a divorce.” “What do my parents have to do with any of this Ms. West? I know I may seem distracted lately but I’m OK I promise.” “Rachel I’m just doing my job, you are one of my best students and I don’t want to see you suffer because I know what you are capable of” Ms. West suddenly feels like maybe talking to Rachel wasn’t the best idea. “Look Ms. West I appreciate your concern but I’m OK really. I have to go see you tomorrow”
Rachel knew that her teachers had been keeping a close eye on her ever since Dana died. How could they not? Dana and Rachel were almost inseparable. They rode to school together, they were almost in all of the classes, at lunch they sat and gossiped about everything. They especially liked to talk about one of Rachel’s enemies Carrie Hamilton. Rachel and Carrie had been enemies since the 8th grade because Rachel saw Carrie stuffing her bra in gym class . Rachel told Dana about it and Dana told Angela Wilson who told someone else and soon the whole school had found out that Carrie stuffed her bra. Sure Rachel felt bad about it, she wasn’t one of those mean girls that enjoyed making people’s lives hell. She just loved attention but Rachel’s different now that Dana’s gone. She knew that, everyone knew that.
“Good morning Mrs. Baker your messages are on your desk” “Trudy how many times do I have to tell you please call me Lilly. Mrs. Baker makes me feel like my mother.” Lilly had fired 3 assistants in the past year because none of them could handle her schedule but after all being the most well known district attorney in Buxtonville can keep you quite busy. Trudy Emerson was Lilly’s newest assistant young and ambitious, just the way Lilly liked them. She knew that Trudy was different though. She confided in Trudy and Trudy knew about her alcohol problems which no other co workers knew about. Many times when Lilly couldn’t make it home she would call Trudy to come and pick her up. Even if it meant driving an hour away to the next town over. Most of the time Lilly didn’t like being recognized while she was at bars for professional reasons so she would go to the next town over and mingle with people she felt that she had one thing in common with, alcohol. Lilly considered Trudy her friend, a word that she wasn’t used to.
“ I know Lilly sorry” “Trudy can I ask you a question?” Oh boy, Trudy thought to herself. The last time Lilly asked if she could ask her a question Lilly was drunk bawling her eyes out at 3 a.m. asking what is it she did wrong that made her marriage fail. “Shoot” said Trudy. “Do I look okay? I mean for a 42 year old women who’s going through a divorce and has a 17 year old daughter who won’t speak more then 5 words per sentence to me.” Trudy just looks at Lilly confused. “ You know what don’t answer that” Lilly says with hesitation “Well if you would give me a chance to answer I was going to say you look like you need a vacation”. A vacation? Lilly Baker hadn’t heard the word vacation since her and her husband David took Rachel to Disneyland the summer she turned 6. That was over 10 years ago. Looking at Trudy for a long time she replies “ You know Trudy I think your absolutely right. Get me the number of Elizabeth Campbell.” “But you have to…” Lilly quickly interrupts “ That will be all Trudy thank you.”
Chapter 2
Rachel and Jason hung out almost everyday after school if Jason didn’t have baseball. “Comedy or action?” Jason holds up two different movie choices for Rachel to choose from. “Hmm how about homework?” Rachel says smirking. “Some of us aren’t depending on baseball to get them through college. Some of us actually need good grades.” “Please my grades are fine” Jason says back slyly. “Oh yeah, and what’d you get on your last English test was it a 58 or 59 I can’t remember” “Your such a little smart ass” Jason said to Rachel “Come here you” He says in a playful tone pulling Rachel by the arm toward him.
Jason starts kissing Rachel intensely. He starts to slip his hand over Rachel’s chest and kissing her neck roaming his other hand all over her body. “Jason stop” Jason looked at her with the same disappointing eyes he had the last time when she had told him to stop. “ Why do I have to stop?” His voice became more angry than she was used to. “We love each other, and ever since Dana you don’t want to do anything anymore and it’s not fair. I get it your sad but it doesn’t mean you have to love me any less. You used to love when I did this stuff.” Before Jason could say anything else Rachel cut him off. “Sorry I’m just stressed lately with my parents, college, and Dana it’s just a lot right now. And you know that me having sex with you has nothing to do with this so don‘t throw that in my face because that‘s not fair.” “Then talk to me Rach” Jason gets closer to Rachel and puts his arm around her for comfort. “You just don’t understand Jay, no one does.” “No one understands because you don’t let them understand” Rachel just looks at Jason for a long time.” I’m sorry.”
Rachel starts walking to the bathroom when she receives a call on her cell. ‘Mom’ her phone lights up as it’s vibrating. “Hello?” Rachel says in a puzzled yet annoyed tone knowing that the only time her mother really called her was to tell her she would be staying late at the office or she was heading to ’meet up’ with some people after work at the bar. “Rach where are you? Can you please meet me at Oishii at 6 p.m.” “Sure” Rachel replies very unenthusiastically “And don’t be late!” Lilly quickly hangs up the phone.
For the rest of the day Rachel couldn’t stop thinking about why her mother wanted to meet her so urgently. Rachel and Lilly rarely ate together because of the fact that Lilly was rarely home, and now she wanted to meet her at the nicest restaurant in town. This felt suspicious to Rachel.
As soon as Rachel walked into Oishii Japanese steak house, she instantly had the memory of her 16th birthday when Lilly, David ,Jason, and Dana had all gone there to celebrate. It was Rachel’s favorite restaurant in town but she hadn’t been there since Dana died or her parents split up. She looked around the room to see if she could spot Lilly, but she was no where to be found. “Great” Rachel mumbled to herself as she was wondering where Lilly was. While waiting Rachel took a seat by the front entrance that way Lilly would spot her right when she walked in. While waiting Rachel began looking at the picture board that was in the restaurant. There was a collage of pictures they always took for special occasions, mostly birthdays. As Rachel was looking she came across her picture from her 16th birthday. Everyone looked so happy she thought to herself, including me. Rachel began to tear up a little bit when she heard a familiar voice from behind. “ Hey sweetie sorry I’m late the traffic was horrible today” “It’s okay” Rachel said quickly wiping her face and stood up. “What do you say we sit down and eat now I’m starving”.
Rachel and Lilly were almost half way through there Sushi before one word was even spoken. “So how was school today
