it all started with an ipod nano.

now it's billie's turn.

I awkwardly pushed her away. Adrienne looked at me curiously. "Are you sure you aren't still mad at me?" I stared at her face, holy crap, she looked like she was going to cry. Mike's going to kill me if he found out that I made her cry.

"Y-yeah," I nodded. "It's just...Adrienne, I'm not feeling well. I feel like I want to throw up all the time. I... I don't want to throw up in your mouth or anything." Shit, that was a lame excuse. I took the throwing up thing from that TV show, 6Teen.

Adrienne giggled... She giggled. Sorry, I'm not used to people giggling. I hate it when people giggle. They sound so odd when they giggle. God, the word giggle reminds me of that dumb kid's show The Wiggles.

"Okay then, see you later Billie," Adrienne said cheerfully. Wow, she changed from angry to lovesick to happy very quickly. She gave me a peck on the cheek. "Just so you know, I'll never go with Mike again." I stared, what did she mean, by I'll never go with Mike again? Whatever, it's Billie's problem, not mine.

Billie's P.O.V.

I slowly opened my eyes. God, my head hurt like hell. I opened my eyes wider, to see a bunch of kids staring at me. "Woah, Zac, are you okay? You just kinda spaced out," a tall kid said. When I mean tall, I mean tall. I carefully sat up. Who's Zac? And who are these kids?

“Give him some air, he just tripped on his shoelace,” a kid with curly brown hair smiled. I just tripped on my shoelace, what the hell? “Come on Zac, I'll help you up.” I looked curiously at the kid. Why is he calling me Zac? Dude, I'm Billie, not Zac. But I tried to play along. The boy pulled me up to my feet. I looked around at the circle of kids.

“Um...Where am I?” I dumbly asked. The kids around me laughed. “No really, where am I?” I asked, making my voice sound serious. The kids stopped laughing and looked at me, some faces were scared, some were serious, and some still looked very amused.

“Zac? Did that trip make you lose your...? Dude, it was only a small bump on the head. It wasn't even that big of a trip, I mean, it was a shoelace, ” a girl nervously laughed. She looked like a fifteen years old. She was also kind of tall, and she had long straight blonde hair.

“Taylor, why are you concerned about Zac?” a redhead asked the blonde girl. “He's okay now. You know Zac, he likes to joke around a lot.” The redhead looked at me. “Right, Zac?”

Before I could answer, the Taylor girl snapped. “Zac's my friend, Paige!”

“Who's Zac?” I blurted out. The kids stared at me, as if I was the must stupidest thing to walk on this planet.

“Zac, is you,” Taylor replied, looking me straight in the eye. She smiled and added, “You fucking dumbass.”

A bell rang…possibly coming from that building over there. I think it was a school…considering all of the kids were walking towards it. “Come on Zac, stop kidding around,” the tall boy said, not looking very serious. Another kid-the one who helped me up-looked up at me. “We have math next…right?”

“Huh?” I replied dumbly.

“Zac,” the kid said irritably, grabbing my arm. He dragged me towards the door. I just stared at him. He was wearing weird clothes. I glanced behind me, weird looking cars zoomed by from behind the wire fence. Where was I? What the heck happened? Why am I here? I WANT MY MOM!!
