CHAPTER 2

Can I slap him? I am talking about Lucky, who else. I was in a good mood this morning and he came in, all smiling, and he started talking to me, asking if I went to the concert after all, you know, like he cared. Then he asked me if Sarah talked about it and I told him that my sister was a mid-day kinda girl, then he said he could give me a few pointers about his aunt Ruby. Everything was going great, I was about to ask him if he wanted to go somewhere with me when little miss perfect walked through the door and suddenly, I was history. He said OK and took table one with her, like I didn't exist anymore. He told me Ruby was a softy when I'd get to know her, and I went home.

Ruby called and asked me to fill in, but before I did, I went to the hospital to try and get into this volunteer program my sister was in. No, I didn't do it to be with her, but to be with Lucky. I overheard him say he worked there, so I wanted to work with him, get him to know me, but this jerk, Nikolas Cassadine, said the program was full. I tried to get Gram to bend some rules for me, but it turned out that Nikolas' legal guardian, his uncle, is the new CEO of the hospital. I tried to get Mister Cassadine to oblige Nikolas to get me in, but no luck there. So I did what I had to do, go back to Nikolas and apologize, even though I felt like gagging. He said, AFTER he found out I was Sarah's sister, that he would see what he could do. That's good cause I saw something that will serve me sometime in the future. My precious sister, has a crush on Nikolas Cassadine!

Yeah, she went out with him tonight. At first I thought she was going out with Lucky and that he called to cancel the date, but it was with Nikolas. I couldn't wait to go to work. For once, we wouldn't be interrupted. But guess what? He wanted to talk about Sarah! I thought I would die when he said he was waiting for me. Then he said he had something important to ask me. My heart was going million miles an hour and my hands were sweaty. But he asked me about Sarah's musical taste. He stood there, and asked me about her musical taste? God how lame is that? I got mad and I walked away. Then, I went and sat with him, and we had a nice conversation for a while, he talked to me about his father's record collection, he told me he would make me a tape of electric blues, whatever that is. But again, he took the conversation back to Sarah. I am so sick of hearing about her! Everyone I meet in this stinking town refers to me as Sarah's younger sister. Even Lucky's aunt said it.

I shut him up for once. I told him Sarah was out with Nikolas, on a date. He got all mad at me and said I was a brat, but I responded by rubbing in it, saying it was eating him up inside that my sister was out with someone other than him. But guess this. Nikolas is Lucky's half brother. I was completely blown away. He didn't believe when I said I didn't know, but I really didn't. Now he's all mad at me and I don't even know why. What the hell did I do this time? Why am I always ending the one people hates?

Later tonight, I called Sarah to ask her to hang out with us, as friends, because Sarah made it clear that's all we can be, for now anyway, but she told me she had plans tonight. Couple of minutes later, Elizabeth barged in and I thought I could ask her about a tape I want to make for Sarah, mixed music, but she got all mad at me, I have no idea why, so to make it up to her I offered her to make one for her too. I still can't believe she didn't know what electric blues was. I took the conversation back to Sarah, because I don't want to put music she hates on it. Elizabeth got mad again and threw in my face that Sarah was out, on a date, with Nikolas no less. I was so mad I threw at her that she was a brat. She did this to hurt me, on purpose, and I still don't know why. I know there is no love lost between her and Sarah, but that's not a reason to be mean to me, what did I ever do to her? She tried to make me believe she didn't know that Nikolas was my mother's other son, the evil one. I still don't know if I can believe her. She ended up insulting my mother, saying she got knocked up on some affair. There not much people in my family she hasn't insulted yet but, like I told her when I first met her, I have confidence in her.

Guess all secrets can't stay buried forever. I found out that Nikolas' uncle Stefan killed Gramps. I overheard Lucky tell his aunt Bobbie how uncle Tom said that Stefan caused my grandfather's heart to stop beating. Of course I ran home and told Sarah. Not to be mean, I swear, but to let her know what she was getting into. Gram was mad at me, and so was Sarah. Gram said I did this only to hurt and I quote "an innocent boy". Oh please, after what Lucky told me about him, he is all but innocent! Sarah broke up with him right then and there, and, like always, it's my fault. All I did was tell the truth, why are they on my case?

Lucky was mad, again, when he found out I was the one who told Sarah about Gramps. What else is new? Blame it on Lizzie, she can take it. One day I might not be here to take it anymore though. Everyone seems to forget that he was MY grandfather too, and the thought of someone actually having something to do with his death is killing me, but who cares? Elizabeth Webber doesn't have a heart, it's common knowledge.

Ruby fired me, after I didn't do the work. Normally, I wouldn't have cared, but Gram was coming in to check up on me at that moment, and with all the mess I made with Gramps, if she found out I got fired, she would have shipped me off to Bosnia right away. But Lucky, like a knight in a bright and shinny armor, came to my rescue and convinced his aunt Ruby to give me another chance. After all, he was happy that I got Sarah and Nikolas to break up! Guys, how the hell am I suppose to understand them? One minute he is mad, and the next he helps me! Go figure!

I started school. Lucky's in most of my classes, I couldn't be happier, except that, when I met him in the hall, he talked to me until he saw Sarah and then, poof, I'm the invisible woman again. Sarah acted like I wasn't there all day. I weaseled my way into Mr. Murty's English class, the one I will share with Lucky, Sarah, Deannie and Vince. Oh and Prince Cassadine, no less. The teacher is a slave driver though. But he's kinda cute.

I nearly got killed today! No kidding! Let me explain. Today was Brenda Barrett's wedding to this mobster guy, Sonny something. Lucky was going with his aunts Ruby and Bobbie, and I tried to get him to invite me as his date, but he didn't catch my drift, so I took Ruby's invitation and went anyway, but this guy at the door didn't believe I was Ruby Anderson, so I told him I thought Lucky had left it for me. Lucky was good enough to let them believe it was true, but when I sat down next to him, he said "I don't know you", in this deep, sexy voice. I just wanted to kiss him right there!

The groom didn't show up, and everyone was invited to the Quartermaine mansion, and I really wanted to go, but Lucky didn't feel like being butlerized or something, so the driver took me home. I was so disappointed about the whole thing!

Ruby fired her, but I help her get her job back. After all, even if I was mad she listened a private conversation and repeated my words to Sarah, I was kinda happy that it got her to break up with Nikolas. I just returned the favor to Elizabeth, that's all, no big deal. Right?

Elizabeth is really something else. She tried to get me to ask her to Sonny's wedding, but I don't want her to get the wrong idea about us. We are just friends. Well, even friends isn't it. Anyway, she stole aunt Ruby's invitation and tried to make me believe she thought I left it there for her. But me, I didn't believe her. She wanted to see if there would be a shoot-out, but there wasn't. Sonny stood Brenda up. I told the guy at the door that she was my girlfriend, and that we had a fight, so that he would let her in, and she sat by my side. She wanted me to take her to the Quartermaines', like I would be caught dead near that house!

I have to find a way to make Sarah realizes that I'm the one for her. I think Elizabeth can help me with that. I'll have to fish.
