Thread: 1989 Best Year Ever (Darkangel76 &Casketslinger)

Is it true? Missy squeaked. I hear there's going to be some big name band playing. Trista who talked Ryan who talked to Levi who talked to Molly who apparently overheard Stephanie Jackson... the blonde cheerleader rolled her eyes and shivered with disgust. That some big band is going to be playing at this party. She grabbed Kiki's arm and squeezed causing the well-dressed girl to wince slightly and move to gently pry the pretty teen's fingers away. I honestly don't know, Kiki answered honestly. Greg mentioned a lot of things, her expression turned thoughtful. As much as she didn't want to, she'd have to pepper him with questions herself. Parker could help, yes. But they'd need two playing this game. She hadn't expected so many to already be in the know. But we have to find Parker. Missy frowned and sighed. I also heard that Stephanie and Nate were caught in the girl's bathroom this morning. Kiki's blue eyes widened and a sneer curled her lip. Why am I not surprised? He's a pig and Stephanie's a slut. The two deserve each other's company. The tiny frown never left Missy's face. True. Still... Melissa Matthews do you like Nathan Essex? Kiki accused, her eyes narrowing into slits. Missy gasped, her blue eyes wide with astonishment. Oh god no! She held up her hand in protest as if offended. I wouldn't be caught dead with such a loser. Kiki pursed her lips. Mhm. Well, he's no good. We'll all be better off once he's behind us and we graduate from this godforsaken school. She felt a strange tug at her heart as she spoke the words. Though she had little care for Nate, she did love her school. She so hoped that this party would put it on the map and not bring it down. With a solemn nod, Missy finally smiled. Yeah, you're right. But she couldn't help but wonder just what it was so many saw in such a guy. Corinne couldn't believe she'd finally mustered up the courage to finally speak to Steve after all this time of idly standing by and watching from the sidelines and...now he had to go. Typical. She could just scream. But instead the tears continued to fall. Steve was just as sweet as she knew he'd be and the fact that he acknowledged her at all spoke volumes of his character. Corinne felt her heart do a little flutter and she couldn't wait to meet him later on at Clemmie's. This was for real. He'd actually invited her. Her! Corinne gave Steve a watery nod and wiped at her eyes. Shit! She hoped her mascara wasn't streaking her face. She'd have to check in a few minutes to make sure. I'll be there, she said as she watched Steve saunter off, her eyes lingering as she watched him disappear off with Mrs. Tighe. Smiling, Corinne quickly turned to gather her things and head outside for some air before class started up again. A few of the girls gave her some looks, but she hardly cared. She had things to read and a date to look forward to. Lucy had just adjusted her glasses when she heard his voice. Nate. The weight of his arm as it came around her felt so good and so right, yet why was it so very wrong? She was a nothing and had been silly to even let herself have the smallest shred of hope after the things he'd said earlier that morning. She'd been so stupid. A dumb girl with a hopeless crush on someone who didn't care about anyone least of all her. But... Ugh. She wanted to die! I'm fine, Lucy mumbled, her hands just moving to fix up her hair. It was falling down, tendrils getting in her eyes, obscuring her face. It was all for the better. Nate didn't need to see her face. You don't need to worry about me. I'm not your problem. It stung having to say those words out loud. How she wished she WAS his problem. More than anything she wanted to be Nathan Essex's girl. Someone he'd be proud to flaunt, to...yeah. She'd just stop right there. It was never going to happen. So, uhh, you said you had a name? Lucy asked trying to redirect conversation, though she couldn't help but sniffle as she spoke.
