This story will be more of an AU. It will still have some similarity with the movie, some supernatural elements here and there but won't follow any events before or after the movie's story. Hope you like it!
Jennifer Check was squirming in her best friend Needy's lap while she was on her computer. Needy objected to her always coming to visit her on a school night, staying late and leaving through her bedroom window. She was worse than a cat, always changing positions on her while she was trying to concentrate. "Maybe it's time to ask your mom to buy you another chair."
"You know she can't afford one, Jennifer."
"Gosh, how poor are you?", she moved her hands out of the way, taking over the keyboard.
"What are you doing?"
"This is boring, I want to check Facebook."
"I really need to get this report done, Jen."
"Think you'll have time to do mine?"
"It's due tomorrow", she said with concern, Jennifer had been flunking a lot of her classes, grades slipped since last year; Jennifer was never a straight A student, Needy noticed how easily distracted she could be.
"Can I just copy yours then?"
"Hand in the exact same paper on a historical figure that we were supposed to choose ourselves. I think would notice."
"Not word for word, dummy", Jen snickered. Needy realized that she was not on Facebook.
"What the H, Jen?" Jennifer was on the front page of a site that had a bare woman's ass on screen and a man's animated penis extending. "You said you were going on Facebook!"
"I needed to distract you." She began skipping through pages of the site, making it clear this wasn't her first visit. "I saw something funny this morning on here."
"Jen, please, I don't want a virus!"
"Chill", she opened up a window and clicked play, the title of the video was TEEN BLONDE GETS FIRST ORGASM. Needy looked away, she didn't want to look at that, she wasn't open to porn like Jennifer was. Jennifer saw the expression on her face, her eyes closed, head turned. Jennifer grabbed her head and turned slowly back to the screen. She cranked the volume. Needy opened her eyes once she heard the sound of a young woman crying out in pleasure. Needy grimaced at the sight of this slutty girl fingering herself. Jennifer smiled showing her teeth, looking back and forth at the screen and her grossed out friend.
"Jen…"
"Look at her. Notice anything?"
Needy saw that the girl was looking right at the camera with hungry eyes. She shook her head in frustration, "What?"
"You seriously don't see it?"
She had her glasses on but squinted anyway to see if she might be missing something, "The atrocious wallpaper?"
"She looks just like you! Needs, it's your long lost twin! What are you doing watching your sister on the web, perv?", Jennifer teased.
"There's hardly any resemblance."
"You're right, she's not a Twilight Vamp."
"Speak for yourself, Bella", she said looking over Jennifer's pale skin.
"It's not my fault there's hardly ever any sun", she continued to watch the video, Needy was worried her mother would hear this. Jennifer yawned, she likely wasn't even tired it being 11:30 and all, she was just getting bored and decided to head home.
"I swear, if this F's up my computer…", Needy began.
Jennifer was about to climb down the 15 and a half foot ladder she had raised to Needy's window ledge, "Take a pill. What's that thing run anyway, Windows 98?", Needy rolled her eyes at her comment, "Have my paper ready at homeroom. Check you later!", she disappeared into the night.
People always wondered why they were friends, especially since Jennifer passed her in puberty and advanced socially in high school. They were complete opposites at this point and somehow they still maintained a friendship, even though Jennifer could be mean, shallow and extremely self centred at times but Needy felt an obligation.
That night she dreamt that Jennifer was lying in bed next to her eating strawberries; not too unrealistic.
She met with Jennifer in homeroom the next morning, looking a mess as she may have only gotten less than three hours of sleep. "Wow, what happened to you?", Needy didn't say anything, she was too irritated with her, "Hey, where's my paper?"
"I didn't do it", she didn't look at Jennifer when she said this, instead looking ahead at the clock, waiting impatiently for the bell.
"You what? Needy, I can't fail this", she seemed genuily distressed by this, she never was before. Needy saw her pout, not a fake pout like usual, she looked heartbroken. Needy groaned and pulled Jennifer's paper out of her backpack; she was weak and she knew it. Jennifer smiled widely, looking it over, "Thanks, babe!", she patted her on the back.
"Jen, you can't just keep expecting me to bail you out."
"I know, but you're my girl…I know I can count on you", she smiled rather slyly.
"Will I ever be able to count on you?", before Jennifer could even try to come up with an answer she was literally saved by the bell.
Jennifer was depending a lot on her lately, it started small but now it was getting to be too much, she'd become Miss Popular and she was like her secretary. She had a plan that at the end of the day she would confront her about it, if things got dramatic like they normally would she wouldn't cave in to any of Jennifer's bullshit she would simply walk away and that would be it.
Jennifer met her at her locker, she was giving her this look, the smiling, happy look that only meant she needed something from her. Needy packed her bag as she leaned into her locker door. "What?", she asked, still annoyed from the morning, mostly with herself.
"I need..."
"I don't care", Needy scoffed.
"Jeez, what's up with you?", Needy didn't answer, she wanted to say something sassy but couldn't think of anything which only made her angrier. Jennifer had no idea what was up her ass so she looked around the hall to distract her. "Holy shit!"
Needy had no clue what she was excited about, she watched as she ran over to a poster on the wall. The poster was for a play that was being put on next month and they were casting. The thing that got Jennifer was the two women on the poster who were obviously supposed to be lovers. Needy was curious too and walked over. Jennifer's eyes and mouth hadn't been wider.
"They're putting on this play? But I heard they banned it in public schools."
"You mean our school will be the first to put on a show about a couple of rug munchers? "
"Jen, Cleo Starlight is a well respected play. It's like the lesbian version of Romeo and Juliet."
Jennifer read the poster, "So, the bull duke who wrote it will be coming here. Is she famous?"
"Yeah, she knows a lot of people in Hollywood."
The Hollywood part got her attention, she held tightly onto her friend's shoulders, "Do you know what this means?", Needy just shook her head, no idea what idea popped into her head but it couldn't be good. "I'm going to audition and impress the hell out of her. But I'm going to need your help!"
"Uh...what?"
"You know about this gay play, right?"
"Yes. I read it online before it's probably one of my favorite..."
Jennifer cut her off, "Yeah sure. So you'll help me right?"
Needy wasn't sure why she couldn't refuse anything Jennifer asked of her, maybe it was a sense of loyalty to their friendship or possibly just the helplessness written all over her face. "...Sure..." Jennifer pulled her into a hug. The awkwardness was up to 11. Jennifer always wanted to act or at least be in a movie even though she had no sign of any talent or skill other than cheerleading. Needy's thoughts were clear, she needed to stop Jennifer from ruining this play.
This is only the beginning so there will be more of a slash in further chapters and things will get very M rated. I will try my best to be consistent with updates. Thanks for reading!
