Chapter 1.38 Last and First Days

Unlike Rosie, Connor decided to wait until after school to become an adult.

He didn't feel all too different from what happened the night before. There was supposed to be this huge deal about not being a virgin anymore, but he honestly didn't get that feeling. Maybe its because he was also thinking about other things too?

It was weird to think that his last day at high school was also Alyssa's first day at high school. He couldn't help but feel at least a little sorry for her, at least he had Rosie for support most of the time, Alyssa has him and only for a day.

Meanwhile, in her own room, Alyssa was doing her hair for the first day. She had to make a stunning impression first time. All popular girls have to be pretty, and she could be pretty enough if she tried. However, the hair she aged up with didn't suit her. That's why she changed it.

As well as being pretty, she had to be quick on her feet with possible insults. It was going to be a difficult thing to achieve, but that doesn't exactly matter. She knew she'd be able to do it, as long as she just became friends with the right people. As she was doing her makeup though, she could hear Boo barking from downstairs.

There were three new puppies in the house. Two boys and a girl. The 'odd one out' puppy was a boy named Puggles. The girl was the one with white inside her ears and with brown eyes, and she was called Poppy. The last of the puppies was another boy called Percy. Obviously, the thing with giving the puppies a name beginning with 'P' carried on.

Alyssa grinned at Poppy when she went downstairs "Aren't you cute!" She cooed, bending down to where she was. She noticed there was also two other puppies running around, and she then whispered. "I think we need to get your Mommy and Daddy fixed though." She mumbled, not particularly wanting even more puppies running around. She then went outside to where Connor was waiting for the school bus.

"Hey." Alyssa grinned, walking down the front steps. When she got Connor's attention, she asked. "Are you looking forward to your last ever day at school?" She asked.
He shrugged a little "Its kinda sad to be honest. Its weird too, I'll never, ever got back to school." He mumbled. He then asked, "What about you? Are you excited about your first day at high school?" He asked.
With a smirk, Alyssa replied "You bet I am."

As Alyssa walked into school, she saw two girls giggling about something just outside. She didn't pay all too much attention, only remembering their faces. They looked like popular girls, perhaps they were the two that she would have to be friends with. She kept walking until one of them called.
"Hey, you! Ginger!" It was the blonde one, and Alyssa went over to them

The blonde girl studied Alyssa, as did the girl with purple hair. "Why don't I know you?" The blonde girl mused, seemingly entertained.
"I'm new, it was my birthday yesterday." Alyssa half smiled. "I'm Alyssa." She spoke fairly quietly, almost a little afraid. These two girls were older than her.
"I'm Colette and this is Nora." The blonde girl replied, grinning. It wasn't a nice and friendly grin, there was a hint of maliciousness behind it.

"So, are you guys going to go in?" She asked, a little confused about why they were still outside.
The two girls laughed, loudly. "You can't be serious." Nora grinned, finding Alyssa adorable.
"I think she is." Mumbled Colette. "Sweetie, its Wednesday. No one goes in on a Wednesday, only nerds do." She grinned. "Unless, if you're a nerd?" She raised an eyebrow, and Alyssa quickly shook her head.
"No, I'm not. Certainly not. Who the hell would go into school at all?" She grinned, and right then knew she won these girls over.

"You're alright, Ginge." Nora grinned, and Alyssa could tell that people would probably be more likely to refer to her by her hair colour for the mean time.
"Alyssa." Colette corrected, then grabbed on to Alyssa's wrist. "Come on, we're going ditchin'" She grinned, and her and Nora walked off, with Alyssa in tow.

The two girls dragged Alyssa to a dive bar, which was the only thing open right now, at this time in the morning.
"Waylon's Bar?" She asked, a little uncertain. They had cocktails and juices in there, things she knew she wasn't allowed until she was at least a little older.
"Don't tell me you've ever had a drink." Colette pouted, finding it adorable. "Isn't that cute Nora?"
"N-No, I have." Alyssa lied, fairly easily. "I just... Its kinda early, isn't it?" She asked.

Nora scoffed, "Chicken." She mumbled, "Why don't you just go back to school, Gingie?" She teased, finding a new way of making fun of Alyssa's hair colour.
"Am not." She protested, frowning. She really didn't like Nora, she wasn't just mean, she was bitchy and annoying.
"Oh yeah? I dare you to down one of the cocktails, one of my choice." She grinned, a mean grin, one that Alyssa couldn't see. "Unless if you're too chicken too...?"

"I am not a chicken." She growled, thinking that this foolish game would be over by way before high school even started.
"Then do it." Nora grinned wickedly, entertained. She couldn't help but wonder if she actually would do it or not. Probably not.
So Nora was plenty surprised when Alyssa snapped "Fine!" And stormed inside.

She walked up to the bar, and was immediately confused about which one to order. She turned back to the girls. "Which one?" She asked.
Colette grinned at the bartender, clearly the two knew each other "Give her our usual, Domni." She folded her arms, whereas Nora just had her head tilted at Alyssa.

While Alyssa sat down uneasily at the bar, Colette and Nora turned to face each other.
"She's so adorable." Nora mused, grinning. "Little Gingie." She spoke quietly so Alyssa couldn't hear her.
"Yeah, she really is." Colette smirked back, glancing at their newest little 'pet'. "How far do you think we could push her?" She mumbled.
Nora grinned, wickedly "As far as we damn well please. She's practically desperate for popularity, and I've not been this mean in months. I kinda miss it." The two girls laughed about it, and carried on talking.

'Domni' slid the drink over to Alyssa, and she picked it up. She couldn't help but notice all the colours it contained, and started regretting this decision. Maybe it wasn't a good idea, but at the feat of ignoring loneliness... It seemed like a perfect idea. She was nervous though. Her first ever cocktail, and she didn't even know what it had in it. Its not like it would kill her though, right?

And without a second though, Alyssa drank her first ever cocktail, at the first ever bar she's been into. She was nervous, but then a nice feeling washed over her. It was difficult to explain, but it felt as if everything was slowed down, and it was nice...
Unfortunately, that was the last thing she remembered that night.

When Connor came home, he was greeted by a herd of dogs. Two dogs and four puppies all barking at him as he walked in. Little to say, it was getting fairly out of hand. He knew that he was going to be taking three of the puppies with him when he moved out. He wanted some dogs, and it would half the total number of dogs in the house.

Connor didn't care all too much that Alyssa wasn't there. She was probably hanging around with those two girls he saw her talking with before school that day. It didn't exactly bother him though, birthdays didn't matter all too much to him. He had his Mom here and Thomas was there too so it wasn't like he was alone. He was bothered by the fact that there was a continuous buzzing on his phone, probably Sabrina texting him

Once the candles were blown out, Erin couldn't help but feel old. Her eldest son was soon to be an adult, and her daughter was already in high school! It felt like just last week when she came here, and last week was the whole hair dye fiasco. Now Rosie was gone, and Connor would be too. It didn't matter as much to her now, she knew she had a family. Even though it wasn't text book perfect, it was perfect to her.

When he went upstairs, he saw Sabrina, and she was obviously bothered by something.
"Sabrina? Was it you who kept texting me?" He asked, and she nodded. "Why?"
"There's something I need to tell you." She frowned, looking to the side. It was clear that she was uneasy about something.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything/" He half smiled at her, trying to be reassuring, but right now she was kinda scaring him...
"Just, don't get angry." She spoke in a small voice, and he was confused and scared even more.
"I won't, I promise. Why would I? I doubt its that bad." He smiled at her, freaking out right now.
She looked at him, for the first time, and she mumbled "I'm pregnant."

Chapter 1.39 Ready or Not

______________________________

AN: Kind of a mean cliffhanger, I know. Actually, its a very mean cliffhanger... 
But, yay! 2/3 are adults and the youngest is in high school. I can almost sense the closeness of Generation 2. But, don't let that fool you, I still have a plotline for Alyssa's teenage years.
Oh, and I changed Alyssa's hair because I saw this one and fell in love, that and her previous one wasn't all too nice.
I'll probably properly edit Connor's clothes before next chapter. Its getting late and I only needed adult him for two pictures in this chapter.
Phew! Long AN!
