She's got Bette Davis eyes
I have never written a Pretty in Pink fanic before, so I was kind of excited when writing this. This fanfic is a Steff/Andie story. James Spader and olly Ringwald's combined perfectness influenced me to write this.
I am not claiming to own Pretty in Pink. Nor, am I claiming to own the song "Bette Davis eyes".
Chapter summary: This is a prelude
Steff Mckee had been no stranger to the women of his school. His goodlooks and money made him one of the most desirable guys in highschool. Girls often threw themselves at him, eager to become his newest object of affection. He had used this to his advantage, and he had been with many girls. He didn't care for any of them, of course. He only used them to make himself satisfied. As soon as he got bored, he simply cast them off, and found new prey. He only kept one of them for about 2 weeks, maybe 3 is they were good in bed. He had earned quite a reputation and he honestly didn't care. If anything, he used it to his advantage. Picking up girls was always easy for him. At first the thrill of the chase was always exhilarating. But it became too easy. They were all too boring; too eager to go along with whatever he asked.
Besides, none of them even compared to the girl he really liked.. But he couldn't have her. He knew it even before he started trying. So instead of actually flirting, or even just being friendly. He just criticised her and acted like a total dick towards her. He looked at her often, watched her from a distance. But never actually went up to her unless he wanted to insult was of a different wealth and social class to him. Money didn't really mean much to him. It was nice to have lots of it. But, that wasn't the reason that her was horrible to her. It was odd; Her arguing with him was more gratifying then spending a night with one of his adoring girlfriends.
She had fallen for his best-friend and his best-friend had fallen for her. Blane was boring, and Steff honestly could not see what she saw in him. Steff had tried to get between them. Telling Blane that she was scum, too low for him. Even though he didn't really care about wealth status. For awhile Steff had actually succeeded and driven them apart. But they reconciled at prom. Infront of one of Andie's friends. What was his name? Duck? Anyway, Steff had witnessed the whole thing and he spent the next week in silent broke it off with Benny (one of his girlfriends). Benny was too clingy, anyway. And,Blane and Andie were practically inseparable. They spent the last month of high-school in each-others arms.
On the day that they had all graduated, Steff wanted to say something to Andie. Maybe apologise for being such an asshole. But he didn't. He didn't feel right doing it. Better just to leave her alone and forget about it. Blane was going to Princeton university; all that studying had actually paid off. Steff was going to Yale University. Steff hadn't studied very hard, but had still managed to get above average results. Steff didn't know what college Andie was going to. He didn't really want to know anyway;He was trying to move on.
