Mac was watching the notice board; it appeared the huskies had a big game coming against Stanford. She hoped they'd win, just to see Harmon Rabb smile…but mostly she hoped he didn't get hurt like he did last time, he broke his arm and his lips were bleeding at the end of the last game. And it broke her heart, anyway, he had Renee Peterson as a nurse – she surely made him feel better.
She was lost in the bitter thought when her best friend, Harriet approached her.
"Hey, there you are! I thought Harmon Rabb came for you and you eloped together" she teased seeing her friend staring at the picture of the handsome football player.
"Harriet…the chance of that happening is less than 0 per million, I'm not part of the 'The circle of popular people' and he has the cheerleader to cheer him up, besides, I would never fall for anybody like him!" she said as they headed to the dormitories.
"Yes, say it like you mean it!" Harriet giggled.
"I do! Why don't you tell me about what's going on between you and Bud Roberts…did he finish the game he was programming?"
"Yes! He's a genius and pretty funny for a computer geek. Oh, ad he asked me to go with him to Boston when we graduate!! I can't believe this is our last year!"
"Harriet that's so sweet!! I can already see you with a big house and a dozen children…as for this being our last year, it is true, but we'll still be close right?"
"Always." they hugged and went upstairs to finally catch some sleep
"You know, maybe you should make a move on Harmon Rabb…"Harriet said as they changed into their PJs
"And steal him from the princess of short skirts and painted nails. No way. Besides I told you I don't like him. He's a snob and so is Renee, they deserve each other. We'll never see each other again once we graduate, thank god, because he'll be a lawyer and I'll be a Biologist."
Harriet just sighed, it was a pity that her friend gave up on love like that, she knew Harmon Rabb liked Sarah by the way in which he stared at her when he thought nobody was looking. Which was difficult because that bitch of a Renee would be all over him every chance she'd get. Damn.
It was true, Harmon Rabb was the top of his class and the football team captain, not to mention very cute but he was a nice person all in all. Keeter and Pendry were always with their head in the clouds but he was quite down to earth.
He and Sarah were perfect for each other. Why couldn't they see it?"
-------------------
Next morning Mac and Harriet decided to head to the hall in the morning to study for the tests they had to do the next day. The circle of popular people, which consisted of the players and their girlfriends, most of them cheerleaders; were sitting at their usual place.
Renee was having a conversation with Annie about the nail beds when she saw Sarah and Harriet arriving. Her relationship with Harm was going to shreds soon and it was all because of that bratty big-boobed biologist, she was sure; she had caught Harm staring at her in awe several times. She didn't know what he saw in her, she rarely wore a skirt, always with the jeans…and she hated the blouses and turtlenecks she wore…how medieval!
Suddenly an evil gleam glinted in her eyes and when Annie stopped talking and gave her a questioning look she just whispered 'watch this' when Harriet and Sarah were close enough, she hopped down from the table and bellowed. "Hey biologist! Having a nerdy day? You know there are other clothes besides charity bazaar …uh, items…oh, I'm sorry maybe your drunken daddy was too busy to get you something decent! She laughed along with her cheerleader posse.
Sarah turned around and looked at her, square in the eye, "You know Renee, there are other clothes beside see through fishnets my grandpa used when he went fishing." With that she went out, running to the toilets as tears ran down her face with Harriet following her.
She never talked to her, why did she humiliate her like that in front of everyone?
--------------------------------------
Harm and Renee were in his corvette, arguing; which was all they were doing lately.
"You know, that was down right mean what you said to Sarah today…I know you don't like her - but for god's sake Renee!!"
"Ah so you know her name! Since when? Tell me Harm, how long have you been doing it behind my back with the big-boobed biologist?!"
"You're just jealous of her because she has some curves unlike you, and just for your information I never cheated."
"Yeah right…tell me Harm, how much do you pay her? Or do you post them directly to her father for beers?"
"That really was THE LAST STRAW! Get the hell outta here and we're finished!"
She got out of the car but before she slammed the car door she shouted: "YOUR LOSS HARMON RABB! GO TO YOUR WHORE!"
Harm felt free, finally. Damn, he had to do research today…oh well…he'd go tomorrow evening when no one would be there.
-------------------------------------
Next morning, Mac woke up her eyes still a bit puffy from spending the night crying. It wasn't fair when someone got judged because of a family member and humiliated because she didn't feel comfortable in skirts which hardly covered her backside in front of the person she, though she didn't give it permission, her heart belonged to.
Oh well, today she had the Biology test. She hoped it would go well because she needed to work on that research since she had spent all her time studying for the test. She'd go in the evening when no one would be there.
