Veronica pressed the button on her alarm keypad. Hearing the car beep she sighed. Another day at Neptune High School she thought with slight exasperation.With her usual confidant swagger she sauntered into the school's hallowed halls. Moving toward her locker she spun the combination and opened the door. Grabbing her books for her first period class she slammed the locker door shut and leaned against it. Today was not a day she really wanted to be in school. Yawning softly she began to move toward her class. As Veronica sad down in her seat she stared out the window for a moment. It's going to be a long day she thought as she took out her books.
The clock ticked by slowly, today was fairly unusual seeing as no one had visited her off ice. She stared distantly out the window wishing that Wallace would come back or at least answer her E-mails. Veronica rubbed her temples as she turned back to the class listening to the teacher yammer on about American history. Deciding she needed a bathroom break, Veronica raised her hand and got permission to go. Hanging the Out of Order sign up on the girl's bathroom she leaned against the wall slowly sliding down. Rubbing her temples she yawned a bit, tired from last nights exploits of chasing a cheating spouse.
A sharp rapping on the door startled her out of her daze. She stood up quickly and yanked the door open. There stood Eli. She tilted her head curiously and gave him a look of half surprise and half distain. "What could you possibly want?" she said sharply her baby blue eyes shifting up to stare at him. Eli pushed passed her into the bathroom.
"I have a problem" He stated simply as he turned around and stared at Veronica. Raising an eyebrow she let the door close and kicked the stop under it. "So what's the deal?" Veronica asked as she stared him down. "Some one is selling steroids to the Neptune High Varsity Foot ball team." Eli stated. "And this concerns you how?" Veronica answered back with a snarky tone. "They picked one of my boys up earlier. He is a freshman, and as green as they come." Eli stated matter-of-factly. "I was thinking we could work together on this one V…Its causing dissention in the ranks"
Eli smiled a bit as he stared at her. He had liked her for some time now; she had earned his respect and some respect to the closer members of the PCH crew. She had saved them from quite a few scrapes. "Fine...I'll see what I can dig up" Veronica stated simply as she moved the door stop and held the door open for him to go.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw one of the younger PCH'ers in the hall way. Quickly she grabbed Eli and pulled him back in the bathroom slamming the door shut. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pressed her lips hard to his. Eli slightly taken aback moved his empty hands to hold her waist as she gently bit on his lower lip. He pressed close to her, drawing her slender form into the depths of his arms as he tilted his head leaning more into the heated kiss. His tongue reaching out and parting her lips, Veronica tilted her head and allowed him access as the warm appendage stroked along her own tongue. She closed her eyes and for a moment melded into the kiss. Pulling away she leaned in and whispered in his ear "don't want to destroy your rep" She stepped back and grinned. Her tiny hands lifting as she flung her hair over her head messing it up. Veronica opened the door once again this time allowing a stunned Eli to leave. Veronica stepped out of the washroom with her hair obviously mussed and her cheeks flushed a bright pink. She tilted her head as she watched Eli saunter down the hall. She started off to her locker just as the bell rang and a sea of students flooded the halls of Neptune High School.
