Thread: 1989 Best Year Ever (Darkangel76 &Casketslinger)

Missy was bored, but the idea of an end-of-the-year party definitely held merit. As she turned around and headed back toward her other friends a smile slowly spread across her face and each step was taken with more assurance. Oh, this party was going to be big. It was going to go down in history. She glanced over her shoulder and rolled her eyes as she watched Kiki continue to blather on with...oh, she couldn't remember his name. It hardly mattered anyway, they'd be graduating soon and she'd gun for the big times. She had her sights set on Texas. She and some of the girls were going to make the big time as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They had the stuff. She just knew it. Kiki's eyes widened. Greg did not just say what she thought he did. But the words had indeed tumbled out of his mouth and he was looking up at her like he demanded an answer. He couldn't be serious! Yet, she could totally tell he was! This was infuriating, yet maybe there was something to be gained if she obliged him this one time. It was harmless, after all. Right? What could possibly happen if she said 'yes'? She'd gain insider info on the party, the whereabouts, the plans. All of it. She could see to it that she and her crew were the ones behind it all, getting the credit for throwing such a big bash for everyone. Then, the school would know that things were done right and all the 'I's would be dotted and all the 'T's crossed. It would be perfect. Wouldn't it? Honestly, Gregory, Kiki sighed. You have some nerve. She felt the blood rising to her cheeks. Normally, I wouldn't hesitate and I'd walk the other way. However, her voice trailed and she studied him for a moment, her eyes flitting to the flyer she'd returned. Perhaps we can benefit from this arrangement. Her lips puckered into a tight smile. I help you, you help me. She arched a brow. Do we have a deal? Ray missed. He missed! How could he miss? Lucy's dark eyes fluttered shut and she removed her glasses so that she could rub her eyes. This wasn't going down as easily as she'd hoped. Sometimes Ray could be so infuriating. With a sigh, she slid down in her seat and extended her leg. Her foot was just barely able to reach the note that had found itself a nice little residence on the floor. She kicked at it until it finally made its way under her seat. She looked up and over at Ray, who was just grinning sheepishly her way. Scowling, she leaned down and got the note. Ms. Harper turned around at that moment and eyed Lucy. Is there a problem? she asked. Lucy just shook her head. No, m'am. Ms. Harper just tsk'd and continued on with her lecture. Lucy was fuming and she gave Ray another angry glare, but the blonde just continued to smile and give her a flirtatious wink. Shaking her head, she opened the note and read it. Lucy, Sorry, wish I could help you out but Mr. Watkins is doing the end of the year inventory on all the AV equipment, he's got everything on lock down. Wanna eat lunch together though? Ray Skate or DIE Lucy buried her face in her hands, her mind reeling. Shit! What were they going to do now? They needed that camera. Everyone was counting on her. Nate was counting on her. She had to come through on this. Biting down on her lower lip, she began to furious write another note back to him. Ray, Unacceptable. NEED camera. Life or DEATH! Can arrange a vid of you skating. Sure, lunch is fine. Lucy Once again, she folded up the note and had it sent Ray's way. She was on a fucking mission. She had to get that camera! Just as the note reached Ray, the bell rang. Without a second thought, she packed up her things and raced out the door. Did you hear? came the first whisper. No, what happened? came another. Lucy's ears perked up as the gossip struck her ears while she meandered down the hall toward her next class. She'd thought about waiting for Ray, but she was still a bit sore that he nearly got her in trouble with Ms. Harper. Besides, she'd see him later at lunch. The girl's bathroom...you know the stall... Lucy arched a brow and turned slightly as she heard a group of girls talking amongst themselves. They seemed very into whatever new rumor was spreading this early in the day. Yeah. Well, I heard that Stacey JUST saw Stephanie Jackson leave the girl's room rather rumpled and... the young girl giggled. She'd been with Nate Essex! The group of girls began to giggle and make sounds of interest. Lucy's face contorted the more she heard and she decided to high tail it out of there. As she scurried down the hall, she heard other girls talking about the girl's room. Pace quickening, rather than darting to her next class, she turned a corner and headed toward the auditorium. She found a dark corner and tucked herself behind the heavy red curtains and cried. Stephanie sauntered out of the girl's bathroom totally satisfied that she embarrassed Nate. The looks she got from the other girls didn't go unnoticed though. Some of them looked at her with disgust, others with admiration and still others were just stunned. It was the way of high school though and it hardly bothered her. She knew what was in store for her and she was ready to face it head on come hell or high water. Running her fingers through her hair, she walked toward a group of girls and smiled. So, apparently there's going to be a really big party some time soon. Really big. Anyone who's anyone will be there. Details pending.
