Welcome to Claremont, California. The fifth best city in the United States. At least that is what the paper says, what the record says. Hiden under in fine print it says the truth. Claremont is a crime infested town. It you crossed out the highschool, sure what was said would be the truth, their college, Pomona College keeps the rate lower, but the high school is infested with drug addicts, rapists, murderers, and suicidal teens. Will the truth be uncovered, or will it stay hidden forever?

Birdies and bogeys (Riley) « Thread Started on Jun 3, 2008, 7:22pm »
Elias tapped his foot as he stared off into the distance. The 9th hole. It was the very bane of his existance. Good old three par hole, one small water hazard, one small sand trap, and the hole was straight ahead. But it was like the hole hated him, like there was a curse on the hole. This was the hole the made his golf game of "Birdie and Eagle" to Birdie, Eagle, and where the heck is that ball going?". But today will be the day. The day that I defeat the hole that has shattered my perfect guilty... I mean, under par record!
He walked over to the bag of golf clubs and began examining each. Four iron... Nine iron... There. The driver. This would be his weapon on the field of battle. He picked it up and held the hitting part with his hand, looking down the handle like he was examining a blade. The cold, smooth, blue colored steel would tear the enemy apart and make his enemy feel the pain of being defeated. This was his death bringer. This was his magical blade. This was his riptide.
He held the club out in front of him and began doing squats. He then placed the club on the ground in front of him, and began doing various stretches. He needed to be fully prepared for the first battle of many in this campain against the ninth hole. I am the god of the gold course. All holes will fall under the might of my furry white iron fist!... Wait, that's Max... You know, I could go for some coffee right now. Just sit there and watch Sam and Max reruns... NO! I must keep my mind on the battle field! One moment of letting your mind wander, one second of losing your concentration could get yourself killed. Okay, why do I keep making allusions about war and battle and violence to talk to myself about golfing? I really need to get a life.
He reached into one of the side pockets of the golf bag to pull out a set of pan pipes. He put the musical instrument up to his lips and began blowing, letting the beautiful music flow into the air around him, but it slowly turned into a ballad of war, of conquest. It motivated him to take the hole by the horns and tear it into shreds, and then after that was done take out a shovel and beat it for about and hour.
Putting the set of pipes away, he picked up a tee and set it in the ground. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a golf ball, and placed it on the tee. He then turned around, walked over to where he was stretching, picked up the driver, or Riptide as he called it, walked over to the tee, and rested the golf club behind his neck. He did one quick stretch, did two practice swings, then stepped up to the tee. He was in the zone. The only way he could mess up was if he got distracted. He wound it back and swung.

Riley grabbed her soda, and took a sip, watching her little sister Athena run around being crazy, and adorable, may she add. "Athena, please come over here, baby girl." She said. Many people thought Athena was her child. It might as well be, because their mother tried so hard to support them, that she was always at work. Athena ran over to her, and opened her mouth to say something, but was distracted as she looked out the big glass wall facing the golf course.
Riley was wearing a pink tank top and light blue jean short shorts. She had on white flip flops, with her hair waved lightly hanging down to her waist. She looked over at Athena, who was still staring out the window, with her mouth in a perfect circle. Athena had decided to dress herself that morning, so she was wearing a red shirt with a white skirt, with pink hearts all over it. It clearly did not match in Riley's eyes.
Her sister was adorable though. Unlike Riley, she had naturally blond hair and big blue eyes. She was only two, and she was having fun with her life, even though they both knew it was shit. Riley was popular, but that was all she had. Her friends and her family. Not very much money besides the protion of her father's paycheck every month.
Athena looked up at her. "Ri," That was what Athena always called her. "Look at that boy." She said, looking shocked. Riley put her arm around her little sister, and followed her finger to the golf course where a teenager was doing odd stretches. Riley started laughing, and her sister joined suit, but she sounded nervous. "He looks silly, doesn't he?" Rily said, reaching out to tickle her little sister's stomach. Athena nodded and climbed onto the chair next to Riley.
Riley leaned back and crossed her legs, still watching the kid. She was determined to go out their and show this weird kid what a bitch she could be. She looked at Athena. "Go see Hilary." Hilary was a bartender here that watched Athena whenever Riley 'got busy.' Riley stood up and walked Athena to the bar, and left the country club, a smirk on her face.
She walked up to the little car thing that people drove when golfing. She was a regular here at the club. "Hey George. I'm gonna go harass some nerd out there on hole 9." George laughed and handed her a pair of keys, mouthing 'have fun'. She put the keys in the ignition and peeled out, heading down the path towards the hole.
When she got there he was playing a Peter Pan like instrument. She laughed and walked up behind him. "Who the hell are you and what th hell do you think you are doing?" This time she wasn't starting nice like usual. She had a disgusted look on her face. She studied him and started laughing. That was funny. He was definately a major nerd.

At the sound of the girl's voice, he turned slightly to see who it was, just as any other normal human would do. Unfortunately, this ruined his concentration. Turning back to concentrate on the ball, he watched a the bright blue of the golf club slammed into the white of the ball, sending it flying, but instead of going straight at the hole, it went flying off to parts unknown. "Where in the hell is that ball going?" He muttered to himself as he watched the ball go flying in a direction that probably should not have been physically possible from the angle and position he was at. But that was the curse. The curse of the Upland Hills country club hole nine.
Elias turned and glared at the girl, but his face quickly switched back to a normal calm. He closed his eyes as he held his finger up to the girl in a way that said, "Give me a minute." He walked over to to his golf bag, placed the driver in it, then turned back to the girl. Then he exploded.
"WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT FOR!? I'M TRYING TO BREAK THE CURSE OF THE NINTH HOLE, AND I CAN'T DO THAT WITH YOU DISTRACTING ME! WHY THE F***ING HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT YOU F***ING F***ER! I WAS SO CLOSE DAMN IT! BUT NOOOOOOO! SOME F***ING F***ER HAS TO COME HERE AND F*** IT ALL UP! NOW I HAVE TO DO ALL THAT STUFF AGAIN JUST TO GET ME BACK IN THE ZONE! AND I NOW HAVE A STROKE ON THIS HOLE, MEANING THAT I ONLY HAVE TWO MORE TRIES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS! WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO WHERE EVER YOU JUST CAME FROM AND PLAY A GAME OF HIDE AND GO F*** YOURSELF! AND STILL THIS HOLE TAUNTS ME!" He turned to the hole and fell to his knees, "DAMN YOU GOLF GODS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!" At that point he stood back up, made a hand sign he stole off of Naruto (he hated the show, but that one hand sign mixed with breathing always calmed him down) and started taking deep breaths, until finally he was back to normal. "Okay, I think I'm good... wait... F******************CK!
Okay, now I'm good." He turned to the girl, looking her up and down. "And who the bloody hell are you? Why did you interrupt whilst I was golfing? Not a very nice thing to do..." He could tell the girl wasn't nice due to her preppy clothing, so he knew that the last comment was a futile effort, and would probably get him taunted.
There were two things in this world he hated. Three if you count that the pointy things store in the mall won't sell swords to minors. I just want to swing it around in my back yard then hang it up on the wall! Is that so bad? The first of the other two were preppies. Sure he dressed preppy, but preppy girls were annoying and evil, and the only preppy guy he knew tried to hit on him. The other thing, was bitchy girls. He had found a prime cantidate for both.

[ooc;; you don't have to do the stars, all of the censor words were deleted...]
Riley crossed her arms, smiling, just waiting to see how this guy would respond. It humored her, nerds usually responded with karate moves, or some other martial art that they would yell at you for calling it karate. She laughed out loud, in her bitchy manner, as he hit that ball. She could do better than that. That was true, she was actually good at golfing. Athena could do better than that. She shook her head as he looked b ack at her.
She watched him put his driver away, sort of glad that she wouldn't have to meet it, but also angry, because if it had really touched her, she would have a lot of money. As he started screaming, this was expected and wanted, she looked down at her nails, and started picking at them, wishing she had her filer. She lookd up as he told her to fuck herself and put on a confused face. "What would be kind of hard wouldn't it. I mean, I'm not that flexible, and I only have a vagina." She said, biting her lower lip afterwards. She started laughing again as he mentioned the 'golf gods.'
She made a sad face. "Oh, goodness mister. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bother you." She turned her face back into a smirk. She really hoped her friends would show off, it was much more fun harassing someone with an audience. "Actually, I'm not sorry at all." She said with the innocent smile on her face, like she was saying, I didn't do anything. She looked away, biting her lip to stop herself from laughing, because she knew you shouldn't over laugh it.
Riley was a person that was hated a lot. But everyone mostly told you that they loved her, in a suck up ish way, or wanted to be her. Her life was pratically what everyone wanted besides the few emo kids who like it when you make fun of them. Riley would have also been offended to here that Elias thought all preppy guys were gay. He was many speaking about every guy Riley has ever dated or liked. "So I saw you preparing for the hole. Who streches to go golfing. And who plays that little instrument. I thought band nerds were really nerding, but you just beat them." She said, pursing her lips, all while trying hard not to laugh.
Then she crossed her arms. "And do you really believe cursing the 'golf gods' will make you a better golfer? I mean, is it possible to be any nerdier?" Sometimes Riley forgot why she was such a bitch. Especially when she hadn't done it for awhile. But when she got up and started making fun of people, she always remembered. It was really fun. That's why it was called making fun, because that's what it was was.

"Well, my dear, by the looks of it, you have fingers, and by the looks of it, you have money, which gives you access to a bunch of inanimate objects which could possibly be used. Even with how small your brain is, I'm sure you could probably think of someway to do that. It's not that hard." Of course, that still wouldn't be as good as taking a ride on the Swift express bullit train! OW!... I really need to get a girlfriend soon. My annoying albeit flirtatious comments that speak in the direction of sex are getting stupider every day. I'm losing my wit.
Elias glared at the preppy bitch as she continued to taunt him. "Honestly, I do not care if you are sorry. I just want you to leave my presence, stop annoying me, and let me attempt to actually get under par on this hole. The damn thing hates me, and with you here doing what you're doing, it doesn't, and I repeat, it does NOT, extra emphasis on the not, help me come closer to the accomplishment of my current goal, so if you would please be quiet and go away, that would be nice. Now if you excuse me, I really got get finished with this hole because the people behind me are catching up and I want to finish this hole before they get here." He turned back to his gold back, took out another ball and his blue driver, and went over to the tee.
"This hole hates me. There is a reason I do all that for this hole. I've been trying to make a little... I would say ritual would be the proper word... anyways, I'm trying to find out a proper ritual to break the curse of this hole. I need to make this hole not find some way to make my ball go all the way over in that general direction..." He motioned in every direction except towards the hole, "And get it to go in that general direction," He pointed towards the hole.
"And I don't believe in any golf gods. I just like to get mad at things that won't... I don't know... find some way to ruin my life. And yes, I am a nerd. Proud of it too. I play an instrument, I play Dungeons and Dragons, I sometimes cosplay in my free time, and I actually have skills that will get me places in life without resorting to child support and/ or trust funds. Now, if you would excuse me..."
He turned over to the hole and pointed the golf club at it. "Come on Riptide, let us see if we can break this curse without any ritual. Let's get back into the zone." He muttered. He slowly knelt down and looked at the golf ball in his hands. He could sense it. This would be the lucky ball that got him to his objective. With this ball and the driver Riptide, he would be unstoppable. He placed the golf ball down onto the tee, stood up, and swung the club back.
Re: Birdies and bogeys (Riley) « Reply #5 on Jun 12, 2008, 10:23pm »
Riley rolled her eyes at him. She hated when people just assumed she was rich. Not all popular bitches had money. Some, liked her were actually poor and were only living off of child support. If her parents weren't divorced, they would be rich, her dad was a doctor, but they weren't. "Fingers can't compare to the real thing. And do you really think I'm not good enough to find some real guy to do me." Most guys would drop there pants on the spot for her.
She smiled. Didn't he understand how to handle bullies? Honestly, if you ignored them, then they would give up eventually. And you never ask them to do something, like leave you alone. It makes them taunt you more. "I can't do that." She said, crossing her arms. "I've got a lot of time, and my lovely friend went to Jamaica with me, plus, someone is watching Athena for me." She trailed off, she actually wasn't talking to him at the end. "So anyways, I would rather harass some freak on a golf course, then go hang out with actual people who migt matter to me."
Riley looked at him like he was crazy. Did he actually think that she cared in anyway waht so ever? "So, like, golf courses, I'm pretty sure that they don't hate people. Two, I don't care what you are trying to do with this hole. You probably are like, crazy, and you might try to make love with that hole." She pointed to the hole he was trying to get the ball into. She just wanted to annoy him. It was all in innocent fun to her. Though she was also really hated around the whole school.
Riley laughed out loud. He just gave her a whole lot more reasons to make fun of him. She smirked. "So, you figure out things that make you look crazy, but it makes you feel better." She shrugged, to pretend like she cared. "That's not resonable at all." She said, looking around at the gold course. Really, the only way he could get her to leave him alone at this time was to chase her with a golf club, or threaten her. There wouldn't be a lot of witnesses.
She nodded. "Alright, instrument, gay game that I have no idea what it means, cosplay, what's that, like japanese stuff? And then skills. That is like four things that makes you real weird. And I could think of more." But when he mentioned the child support, she was so angry at him. "Who are you to judge that I have no skills. And if going to college doesn't help me in anyway, I could easily just become a hooker or something." She said the last thing as a joke.
Riley was silent until he brought his club back to swing. "You know, you are not going to get any better." She said as he swung it down towards the ball, and then making contact. She watched the ball, hoping it was flying in the wrong direction.
Re: Birdies and bogeys (Riley) « Reply #6 on Jun 14, 2008, 9:19pm »
"Actually, truth be told, no, I won't get any better. Especially with you standing there speaking just before I swing. I can do great on every other hole. This hole, something comes up and distracts me, or the wind suddenly changes or soemthing like that..." He muttered with his teeth clenced as he watched the ball go flying off into it's usual no mans land where it always went on this hole. "And to your earlier comment, as fun as it would be to stick it in a girl with your looks, since that and, by the looks of it, money seem to be the only two things you have got going for you, your personality would probably make any guy run away... unless he was horribly masochistic... at which point you would be on a roll. As for me, no thanks. I've got better things to do, better girls to chase after." LIES! ALL LIES! For some strange reason, as much as I hate preppy bitchy girls, the girls who are genuine bitches were the ones I end up chasing after later, albeit in a very roundabout way with many of my spoken words having double meanings. Of course, Kayla, she wasn't like that. But... she's gone. Behind me. A part of my past that I want back but can never reclaim. But best not think about that now. Save that for days when you actually feel like curling up in a ball and crying yourself to sleep. Always a fun thing to do if you're bored.
"And yes, Ms... I don't know your name and would rather prefer not to care, I'm sure you will make your parents proud, living in some alley sniffing cocaine, having at least three STDs, and giving extremely degrading forms of pleasure to men who are coming to you simply because they are too ugly to get a girlfriend so they can get some, nor do they want to get a girl drunk, because in some cases that can be classiffied as date rape. Now, if you excuse me, I must once again take my leave." He wasn't planning on saying anything about the rest of her comments. Many people thought those things weird. That was, until they tried them and thought they were fun and kept on doing it, therefore giving him a new friend. Unfortunately, no way this was going to work with this girl. Of course, he wasn't saying that that was a bad thing.
"Okay then, Riptide, let's hope that this time, she doesn't interrupt us." He once again walked over to his golf bag, pulled out another golf ball walked back over to the tee, sat it down on the tee, and put both of hands on the club. Then he waited. Waiting for an opportune moment for him to strike with his blade upon the vicious beast, slaying him with his amazing flare and skill.
Re: Birdies and bogeys (Riley) « Reply #7 on Jul 1, 2008, 7:13pm »
Riley smiled as another was hit in the wrond direction. She sighed. "Well, you can't get better, but you can blame everything on random things that actually rarely affect people who golf." She stated, looking off at the direction the ball had gone. He was going to be losing a lot of golf balls with her hanging around. And she didn't plan on leaving any time soon. He would have to leave first, obviously. Then he would be the one who had lost the battle.
She shivered when he stated it would be fun to have sex with her. "God, no. I would never do it with you." She wasn't offering him with anything. She then laughed. He obviously was new around here. Every knew her. "You are new here? Because you don't know who I am. Everyone likes me." She laughed. It wasn't as much as everyone liking her, but everyone wanting to be her best friend.
Riley rolled her eyes. He obviously didn't realize she was joking when she said she could be a hooker. She was not willing to do that, that was just nasty. And some patients had to be nasty, and they was a real bad reason to why they needed to pay someone to help them be pleased. Plus, it was illegal. "I've got a scholarship to the local college here. Being a prostitue isn't really in my future." She rolled her eyes. Sure, it wasn't a really big deal, just one third was going to paid, but that's better than nothing.
Riley had found it interesting how he just dropped every topic. Most people always had a comeback, stupid or not, to her comments. Maybe he did know how to deal with bullies, she wouldn't be surprised if he did. They always had those bullying seminars, where they had people rise their hand if they had been bullied or they had bullied another person. No one ever rose their hand, but the teacher would always say that if your hand wasn't up, you were lying, then everyone would put their hand up. Then they would go into lecture about how to handle a bully, and what not.
Riley sighed, and waited for perfect timing again. "So, like, why do you talk to yourself?" She asked, smiling softly at him after he had swung the ball. She found it real fun to be a bitch to people, it was just for pure entertainment. Everyone got mad, or would soon give up. She could not wait for either one, she had time to keep torturing him, and she could think of more fun things to do at the moment. But she had to be patient, waiting for him to break.
