Chapter 1:
Disclaimer: I do not own Bunheads, but it would be so cool if I did...
Melanie was growing more and more impatient as the day just seemed to be going slower and slower. Truth be told she was just waiting for the end of the day so she could head out on semester break when it all happened. Suddenly her slumber was interrupted when the door opened and Dez and Stacia (A/N this is the chick that dumped Charlie) entered to make an announcement. The teacher ceded the floor to them and they began speaking. Melanie had pretty much zoned out for most of it until she heard her name. "Oh shit," she thought, "what did I do?" Some other names were called out including Cozette and Ginny. Dez then concluded the presentation by saying "Okay, if your name was called, we hope to see you at the meeting today after school in room 202." Melanie could swear he was looking directly at her when he said this and that he had placed a certain emphasis on the word hope as though he was hoping against hope that she would grace him with her presence. This wouldn't have been so awkward to her if what happened on fire day in the studio had never happened.
Melanie waited for what seemed like an eternity for the last bell of the school day to ring signaling her to head to room 202. She didn't know exactly why she was headed there, all she knew was that Dez hoped to see her there.
Upon entering the room she saw many upper classmen including Charlie, Stacia and Dez. Charlie apparently the ring leader of all of this ensured that everyone was present and then handed the floor to Stacia. Melanie figured she should pay attention here, no telling what kind of trouble she would get in if she didn't especially after what she had done to Stacia earlier on in the year. Stacia informed the members of the meeting that the school paper was looking for up and coming writers and photographer and that they had been chosen by the upper classmen. She went further on to say that they would be mentored by one of the upper classmen assigned to them and then reconvene in two weeks to decide who would stay and who would go based on what they presented.
Stacia then went on to assign the underlings to their upper classmen one by one. It all seemed uneventful until the last three were left. "Cozette, you'll be with me" Stacia finally said. "Ginny, you'll be with Charlie" she continued. Then all that was left was Melanie and Dez.
You gotta be kidding me, I'm with the ape? Melanie asked to no one. "Sorry, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes" Stacia said to Melanie. Suddenly Dez ended up behind Melanie and said, "Hey Mel, why don't we take tonight off and we can start the mentoring tomorrow at ten o' clock." "I have class tomorrow dufus" Melanie responded to Dez. "Oh, right" he said, "well maybe I should pick you up from class and then we can have lunch at The Oyster Bar." "Sure, why not" Melanie replied in her ever sarcastic tone.
"Cool, I'll be sure to get there before the swan dies" Dez said knowing this would bug the hell out of Melanie. "Just make sure you're not late, I want to get this over as soon as possible" she shot back at him. With this they headed their prospective ways, Melanie to the roller rink and Dez off to his house to plan everything for tomorrow.
Ok, there's chapter 1. Let me know what you think of it. And for the more daring I challenge you to see if you can read my mind and know what's going to happen next.
